Another Phlladelphlan who telephoned

youthful baseball fan, rode 'on tiro
momentum of tho crowds behind him
and landed on all fours at Just ono sec
ond after 9 o'clock bofore tho Boilers of
tickets for tho world's scries games at
Glmbels this morning.
Joo was helped to his fefet by Pollca
Sergeant Robinson. Ills fat chocks shook
and quivered, but he could not talk. At
last ho murmured "two sots" and thrust
tho monoy through tho wicket, grasped
tho tickets, was met by an admiring
father, and thus Joe, porhnps, passes
forever from tho limelight of publicity.
Joo was white at 15 minutes of 9
o'clock. Ho wns much whiter when a
big reserve policeman opened tho gate
for the rush on tho ticket '-stands.
Sweat stood on his forehead. Ho was
Blinking all over, but ho woro rt sickly
smile.
Ho had withstood temptation! ho had
withstood tho rain this morning, and had
mado good.
WOMEN HALF THE NIGHT IN LINE.
Of equal Importance with Joo is Miss
Mamlo McGcc, 2130 North Fifth strcot.
Sho was tho llrst woman to buy a world
series ticket. When tho sale started sho
was nt Chestnut street, but man aftor
man slipped her ahead of himself, and
sho reached tho wicket in short order.
She purchased two seats for her brother.
Sho had started at tho end of tho Una

ho would havo been.
Miss Olive Ernst, of 1S2I Arch streot,

thc enduranco test. Sho entered tho lino
early just out of old friendship's sake.
Sho formerly lived at Ocean City. A. H.
Weston, of Ocean City, camo to town
yesterday to purchaso tickets for him
self and friends. Alono he could not pur
chaso all he wished. Ho asked Miss
Ernst to help him. Sho shook her blond
curls at first, but Anally consented.
Sho camped on a slnglo chair, such ns
Is used at the City Hall plaza band con
certs, and munched sandwiches until it
was her tlmo to buy tickets.
ONE WOMAN ENTERED LINE 'ON A '
BET.
In all there wero 13 women in the line
of fans. They did not want tho fact
generally known. Somo when asked
their names chewed gum wearily and
said, "Nothing doing." Ono said that
sho was giving a surprise to her hus
band and It would spoil tho treat If she
told. The only thing that worried her
was whether or not the had closed the
windows before sho left homo at midnight.
There wero many women In lino early
this morning, but they wero not all en
thusiastic baseball fans, for tho majority
disappeared with handkerchiefs over theirs
heads when It started to rain.
Emma Connell withstood the rain. She
entered tho lino on a bet. Sho won her
bet.
