SCALPERS' HOSTS
ARE NOW ROUTED
Lines Form at Wickets at 7
o'clock to Obtain World's
Series Tickets; 15,000
Given Out.
Chicago, Oct. 4. With fair weather
promised for the opening game of the
world's series on Saturday between
the New York Nationals and the
Chicago Americans and the ticket
scalpers apparently routed, the in
vaders ramped through a practice
game with the Chicago Nationals
this afternoon the Cubs winning by
9 to S. The season being over, no
body paid any attention to the score,
but much to the batting., The at
tendance was small, but this was no
criterion of the interest felt in the
big series. It is intense.
Scalpers' Stocks Low.
The recent bold announcements of
those who, as brokers, work in be
tween the box office and the ultimate
consumer, that they would have
plenty of tickets for all at ultra-profiteering
prices went in to eclipse dur
ing the day, but their prices scared.
The brokers paid back thousands of
dollars in deposits and it was learned
that none of them had more than
a dozen of the three-game tickets for
sale. The price of box seats, ac
cording soared to $75 and even the
mere reserved seats, made of hard'
wood slats and worth at the factory
maybe $3, were quoted for three sit
tings of two or three hours each at
$35.
Due to Comiskey'a.
The scarcity of scalper tickets was
attributed to the energy which owner
Comiskey displayed in seeking to
circumvent the practice. He held
back distribution until this morning;
he numbered the tickets and indexed
the names of the purchasers; he ob
tained the aid of the states attorney
and the chief of police and promised
full publicity in the advertising col
umns of the newspapers wherever he
found that a purchaser had transfer
red his ticket to a broker. The best
the latter could promise was that
they would have plenty of paste
boards for the third Chicago game,
on the theory that many ticket hold-e-s,
having seen two games would
be ready to dispose of their third
tickets. But unless the unexpected
occurs between now and aSturday
the scalpers have been vanquished.
Lines Form Early.
The lines at four ticket wickets at
the ball park began forming at 7
o'clock this morning and the pro
cession continued until all of the
15,000 reserved seat tickets had been
given out.
In the matter of betting the locals
talked loudly of six to five on the
Comiskey team and New York ad
herents talked the same odds as to
their men, but what actual betting
could be located was at even money
on the result. There were many
freak bets, involviug small sums,
ranging from ten to one that neither
club would takefour straight to two
to one that Collins would outhit
Herzog.
Sox Engage in Practice.
While the crowd was clamoring for
tickets outside the White Sox park,
the American league champions put
in several hours of practice. The dia
mond was a bit soggy, due to recent
heavy rains, and it was covered to-

Congressman Reavis
Tells About the War
(From a Btaff Correspondent I
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 4. (Special
Telegram.) "So Jong as I am in
congress, I'll never vote for peace
without utter destruction of the mili
tary establishment of Germany."
Congressman C. F. Reavis of Falls
City so spoke today in an address
before Lincoln business men at a
luncheon at the Commercial club, in
which he estimated that 300,000
Americans already were across the
water and more than 1,000,000 more
would be there by sprin.
He said that there was no danger
from U-bo.ts, as each transport is
protected by a battleship cruiser and
that the undersea boats did not care
to take chances when they were
scouting around. He pointed out that
Canada had sent thousands of men
across the water and none had been
lost.
"The allies are endeavoring to wear
the German forces out," according to
Mr. Reavis, and such things as
"tremendous drives" never took place.
The allies could have had Germany
defeated long ago, if they were willing
to sacrifice men, which they are try.
ing to keep from doing, but what is
sure is the wearing out process will
succeed.
Mr. Reavis appealed to the business
men of the state to be prepared to
make any sacrifice to have the young
men of the state who are going to
the battlefields. He said he was will
ing to turn over every other dollar
of his earnings in such assistance and
that every other congressmen in
Washington felt the same way.
