FOIL SCALPERS'
EFFORTS TO GET
SERIES TICKETS
- Demand So Greatly Exceeds
Supply That 600 Per Cent
Profit Is Made
A CaIaa
Chicago, Sept. 30. Ticket scalpers
pparently have been foiled in their
efforts to obtain any considerable
number of admission slips to the
Chicago games of the world's series,
for a round of their offices revealed
' pirtually no grandstand seats on sale
md only a few box seats.
The demand for tickets so greatly
exceeds the supply, however, that
the scalpers are making a gross
profit of more than 600 per cent on
what few pasteboards they have ob
tained. For a set of box tickets for
the three games here Friday, Satur
day and Sunday the ticket vendors
demand $100, the face value of the
tickets being $16.50. Grandstand
seats, the normal value of which is
$9.90 for the three games, bring $60,
with only a few on sale. The net
profit, is cut down, however, by the
AMIHKMKNTS.

Wrestling Match Off.
Gen. Leonard Wood last night
advised Promoter Jack Lewis to
postpone the John Pesek-Jim
Londos wrestling match, sched
uled for tomorrow night at the
Auditorium. Wood suggests that
no definite date be set for the
match, but that it be announced
that it would take place shortly
after the present crisis is passed.
Tickets for the original date will
be honored when the match is
finally arranged.
50 per cent tax which must be paid
on the advance in price.
The scalpers insist, however, that
they will have plenty of tickets by
Friday and are willing to take un
limited orders.
One fan today offered $200 for
tickets for the three games, ap
parently without any takers.
Federal agents are watching the
scalpers closely, and the authorities
have announced that any infringe
ment of the law in the sale of
tickets, no matter how slight, will
result in prosecution. Special agents
have been assigned solely to .this
work.
Commerce and South
High Foot Ball Game Is
Transferred to Creighton
The foot ball game between Com
merce and South Omaha High which
was to be played Friday afternoon
at Rourke park has been changed to
Creighton field for the same date.
The game with the Packers will
be one of Commerce's big games of
the season. South Omaha has de
feated the Commerce eleven every
time the teams have met. Coach
Drummond is training his men hard
for this game and he expects his
warriors to turn the tide this time .
and win by a large score.
Although the Packers lost their
first game of the season to the
alumni squad, 30 to 0, they have a
strong aggregation and will give
Coach Drummond's lads a hard fight
for the game.
Coach Drummond expects to sur
prise the South High warriors when
they get on the field, as he has some
old veterans back who are anxious
to trim the Packers.
There will be no charge for ad-1
mission.
AMUSEMENTS.
Managers of Opposing Teams, Which
Will Open Series for World's Title Today
The wise old men of base ball who
will match wits and diamond knowl
edge in the coming world's series
clash between the Cincinnati Reds
and the Chicago White Sox. Pat
Moran, hailed as the "miracle man"
of base ball, began his career as a
manager by landing the National
league pennant for the Phillies in
1915. "Kid" Gleason, the peppery
manager of the Sox, also has scored
a win in his first year as a major
league bench manager. Gleason's
triumph, however, has not the glory
of Moran's. Manager Pat took hold
and built a winner from ordinary
material in 1915 and this season
turned the same trick when he
brought to Cincinnati the first pen
nant in 50 years.

By DEMARLES DRYDEN.
Dear Old Cuincy. Sept. 30. One
of the 16 experts cooking dope for
a single paper here conies up with
a new line of stuff that makes the
White Sox look mighty bad. This
expert has discovered that Roush,
Kopf and Pat Duncan have gray
eyes and these are the blokes who
have batted in most of the runs tor
the Reds. As it is hardly possible
for the color of their eyes to change
between now and Wednesday it is
thought this trio will continue to
bat in some runs. We mention this
grave menace right here at the start
of the story hoping that Colonel
Fullerton will get busy in rebuttal
and tell us what was the color of
Joe Jackson's hair at the age of 5
years. Something should be done
at once to offset the gray eyes.
A night of horror was passed by
the fish in search of pavillion tick
ets. The papers today are full of
harrowing experiences. At 11
o'clock last night one George Aull
went to the ball park and camped
at the ticket window. George stood
up and went to sleep like a truck
horse on parade rest in a blind
alley. His slumbers were broken
at 3 a. m. by the arrival of Russell
Smith of Burlington.
"Hello," said Mr. Smith. "It looks
like we would get tickets for the
first same."
"(I'll say so," replied Mr. Aull.
QUICK AND ECONOMICAL TRANSPORTATION
ON the" farm the Nash Quad
which drives and brakes on all
four wheels, is especially suitable.'
With practically double the traction
efficiency of ordinary trucks, it
hauls its load over plowed fields and
through soft stubble without difficulty.
In hauling grain the Quad with proper
trailer equipment cuts the number of
trips necessary in half and so saves the
fanner both time and labor. '

Thus with snappy conversations
did these early fish beguile the hours
until they both went to sleep. When
7 o'clock came Matty Schwab, the
groundkecper swabbed up the sleep
ers and transferred them to the
main window where it had been de
cided to sell tickets. One hour be
fore the sale opened this forenoon
there were but 300 rish in line and
Mr. Aull and the Kentucky guy felt
they liad wasted the better part of a
night.
An important meeting of the Reds
board of strategy was held this
morning behind closed doors with
scouts out in front to keep off eaves
oroppers. Pat Moran, Fred Mitchell,
Alexander, Killifer and John Evcrs
constituted the board. Each mem
ber of the board addressed the Reds
in turn and told them exactly how
to lick the White Sox.
Evers Gives Good Advice.
When it came his turn Mr. Evers
impressed upon the athletes the ne
cessity of biting the umpire only on
the hind side of the ankle. The front
side of his leg is protected with
shin guards of wood fiber which is
impervious to the sharpest tooth, so
Mr. Evers says and he ought to
know. The meeting was rushed
through so the strategists could
attend the races on the other side of
the river.
Speaking of the river, Sam Leever
has just reported after a perilous
voyage from Goshen, O. He is for
the series if Pat Moran will fix him
up with a ticket. You may remem
ber Sam when he pitched for the
Pirates and taught school in the off
season. His home town is 20 miles
up the river and can be reached only
by boal. It is said Mr. Leever set
out for the world series in a skiff
last Tuesday, giving himself ample
time for the 20-mile trip.
Leever Is Stranded.
When about half way to this port
the skiff got hung up on a snag in
the middle of the river. Passing
boatmen saw Sam making signals
of distress, but thought he was an
owl or something flapping its wings
for air. A tugboat finally rescued

Cornhuskers in Big
Scrimmage Practice,
Show Fighting Power
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 30. (Special
Telegram.) The Huskers went
through a smashing scrimmage this
afternoon at the State Farm Foot
Ball field in preparation for their
game with the University of Iowa at
Iowa City Saturday. Head Coach
Schufte persisted in running straight
line plays. The squad was used en
tirely for lining up for three quar
ters of an hour in opposition to the
Freshmen. The attack in all in
stances was successful. Dale show
ed strong at full back. Reports
from Iowa concerning the great
strength of the Hawkeyes are ser
ving here only as a stimulus.
Though the exact strength of the
newly organized Cornhuskers is still
a mystery the fighting power this
far is thought enough to overcome
any enemy.

Passing through Omaha, en route
to their home in St. Paul, Mike and

boxers, stopped in Omaha for a few
hours. During their stay in the city
they were guests at the Omaha Ath
letic club's stag dinner. In return
for the entertainment given them,
the Gibbons brothers put on a

roundly applauded.
Lexington. Ky., Sept. 30. The
feature of the second day's racing1
at the meeting of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders' associa
tion was the Kentucky futurity for
3-year-olds, the result being in
doubt until the fifth and final heat.
In the first mile Periscope, the
favorite,, after leading into the
stretch, broke, and Brusiloff won
easily. The second heat was a close
finish between Periscope and Brusi
loff, the last named winning by a
narrow margin. The filly won the
next three heats with case, and the
time of the race constitutes a
world's record for five heats for
trotters of that age. The winner is
trained, driven and owned by'J. L.
uoage ot Lexington, who uougru
her from her breeder, John E. Mad
den, for $10,000 when the filly was
beginning her 2-year-old racing
career.
Early Dreams made three fastest
heats of the season in his winning
race, the 2:06 class for trotters,
averaging 2:03 1-2.
Sanardo won the 2:05 class pac
ing, and gained a record in the first
heat of 2:001-2.

Central High Girls
Prepare for Annual
Fall Tennis Tourney
Preparations are being made by
the girls of Central High school for
the fall tennis tournament, which
probably will be held the early part
of next week. Six men are going
over the court digging tip weeds,
leveling it in places and marking
the field.
About 50 girls have entered the
tournament, which will be played
off in five rounds. The victorious
girl will be presented, as in former
years, with a medal. It is planned
to have the victor of the fall tourna
ment meet the victor of the spring
tournament in a series of games.
World's Series Base Ball
Weather Is Problematical
Washington, Sept. 30. Favorable
weather in Cincinnati for the open
ing game tomorrow of the world's
series could not be promised to
night by the weather bureau. Dr.
Harry C. Frankenfield, chief fore
caster, said there was only "an even
break" that the weather would be of
the base ball variety.
Reports to the weather bureau to
night were that it was raining in
northern Ohio and it was said that
there was a possibility that the area
of showers might move southward
far enough to include Cincinnati.

Well, the town was' struck dumb
this morning, when Heinie Groh,
came out in print with a signed
confession accompanied by his por
trait. His bum finger is broken in
stead of just bruised, and has been
since August 31, when a pitched
ball jammed it against the bat. Gee
whiz, if the fish had known that at
the time some of them would have
dropped dead. Heine assures me,
however, that the finger is all right
now, but, gosh, how he was skeered
for fear somebody would find out
the truth at the time of the mishap.
President Wilson getting ill when
he did sort of drew public attention
from Heine Groh's finger and he
got by with it right up until the
close of the season.
Groh Makes Confession.
In the published confession Mr.
Groh begs the fish to forgive the de
ception practiced on them. It was
only a white lie, Heine says, telling
folks the finger was bruised instead
of broken and he gave out the false
statement in the interest of the na
tional pastime. As far ai we are
concerned Heine Groh is forgiven.
If he broke a couple of legs and said
it was nothing but a soft corn which
would pass away in a few days it
would be all the same to us. It has
been our aim to stand in with the
sterling athletes and make their
rugged lives as pleasant as possible.
Peter Harrison, the genial umpire,
wound up the season in a sad ad
venture. On retiring Sunday night
Pete hung his pants' on the door of
his room. 5omebody reached down
through the transom and frisked the
pants of $103. The thief left 33 cents
in change and Pete went over to
Latonia today and distributed the 33
cents where it would do the most
good.

About Her Wonderful
: Recovery.
"You wouldn't guess Mrs. White (
to weigh under one hundred and

White, of 111 Crescent avenue, Pe-

at the Sutliff & Case Drug Store,
Peoria, recently. "Well, she don't,"
he continued, "for I weighed her
