2272 Indiana avenue, drove up to tho
Somerset street cntrnnce this morning;
with a wagonlond of "hot flops" ami a
stand from which to sell th-m. They
wanted to push back the fans from the
wnll and erect the stand.
Naturally the fans objected. A sleepy
policeman waited for some tlmo for the
trouble to subside of Its own accord, and
when It didn't, took a hand. Mlsante
and llarno produced a receipt for J2J and
a permit entitling them to elect the stand
against the wall. It was u perfectly pood
receipt, signed by some confidence man.
The victims did the next best thing and
opened up tho sale of sandwiches from
tho wagon,
GERMAN HAND PROVIDES COMEDY.
Comedy for the fans was provided short
ly after 8 o'clock by a Germnn band
playing to an audience of one, by two
six-foot Negro dog coachers and by a
little puppy about four Inches tall. The
band was playing In front of a saloon
when a man, fourth from the end on
21st street, who had been keeping warm
by Internal fluid applications, decided that
he needed muslo to chfer him up.
Accordingly, he paid tho band $2 to play
"By the Beautiful Sea," exclusively for
him. After the band got fairly started
there was a. commotion on Somerset
street, and the players deserted to see
what It was all about. In close order,
as Is their habit, the Germans charged
around the corner und became terribly
mixed up with the dog catchers, who car
ried large nets.
In the confusion tho dog slipped Into
a drug store and escaped. After a short
nnd sulphuric session tho musicians and
s dog catchers separated, and tho music
was resumed for tho benetlt of tho au
dience of one.
PLACES TN LINE BRING FROM K
CENTS TO $1.50
Joe Ranks, the Camdon fat boy who
was first in the line for tho sale of re
served tickets and is fourth In ono of the
tileacher lines, offered to sell his place for
$1.50. Iuqulrles among the first ten place
holders this morning developed the foot
that no ono Is asking more than that price
and frequent changes are being made.
Further back In the line places may bo
obtained for as low at 23 cents. House
holders whoso homes surround tho park
nora out bright and early today soliciting
patronage for their roof garden grand
stands These are wide open In Kplte of
declarations by Director Porter and other
city officials that there would be no
housetop audienco this year.
Early quotations for housetop seats
range from SI to J3. A few of tho seats
were occupied by S o'clock by dyed-in-the-wool
fans who are willing to encounter
the upper air movements to get good
seats.
William Hang. Chinese steward of the
"Washington, D. C, Elks' Club, bought
tenth place In one of the bleacher lines
th's morning for ?5. He said he had not
missed the world's series fo- several
years. Hang, who was dressed In the
most modern of American clothing,
speaks good English.
CROOK SOLD HIM USELESS TICKETS.
Clyde Robinson, of Frackvlllo, Pa., la
In the line today, well down, but suro
of getting a seat for today's game. Clyde
came to town last night with about 135.
and, falling to find a ticket speculator
In the city, hurried to the park this
morning
Before he had searched long Clyde
found a man seling tickets. He paid tho
man JS and danced happily across tuo
street Then he examined the pasteboards
and found that he had obtained three ad
missions to the Police Carnival. Clyde
hurried back and accused "Shorty"
Plunkctt. a sneculator, of selling hira tho
useless tickets.
Plunkett "bawled him out " After some
argument Clyde gave it up and got in
line He said he had M left and Intended
to see today's game Then he will board
a freight train for Fraikvitle to tell hi
neighbors and pals all about it.
News of the scandal about tho sale of
reserved seat tickets in the city had been
digested by the bleacher fans this morn
ing and tnoso In lino held to their places
grimly A repetition of the scenes alone
Ninth street, when hundreds of specula
tors managed to get shoved In ahead ot
those who had stood waiting far hours,

they say today.
Tho bo with the bulldog is still on the
job today. His bulldoK. "Bill." likes hot

SCALPERS HAWKING
TICKETS ON STREET
Continued frnm l'nuc One
pollco official. Even those who paid
cheerfully the rates demanded for the
seats wondered how Ryan got the scats
when It was next to impossible to get
them at the regular sale.
Whitewash will not bo applied to the
scandal surrounding tho reserved at
sale. Director Parter said today, tie de
clared that whllo he hns not yet obtained
any names of the policemen charged with
recehlng money for places In line at
Glmbel Brothers ho Intended to continuo
the investigation until he captures tho
qullty parties or the charges are dis
proved. PRICES TAKE BIO JUMP.
Rates took n. big jump this morning
that brought them higher than over.
Regular J2 seats wero bring held for $10.
Scalpers asked $12 to $15 for the $3 seats
and proportionately high pi Ices for tho $3
scats.
Ono reuson for this, given by the specu
lators themselves, was the arrest last
night of 13 local scalpers, "small fry" in
the ticket kiting business. The men with
tho pasteboards declare today that the
sellers arrested woro responsible for the
big cut In prices esterday. They de
scribed the prisoners as "cheap skates"
and "tin horns," and declared that had
thoy not been arrested they would have
ruined the business.
This line of reasoning makes the police
tho best friends of tho speculators. In
front of the Land Title building today
one speculator was especially bold. He
held all tho tickets and omplojcd four
"barkers." Whon they secured n prospect
they led him up Sansom street, where
tho deal was consummated.
Finally tho men were ordered away by
ono of the building officials. All this
was within 10 feet of a sl-foot reserve
police, who paid no attention to tho
open soliclation and barking of the
scalpers.
"I'VE GOT 'EE.M," THE SLOGAN.
"Vo got 'cm," Is the slogan on Chest
nut and Broad streets.
On the latter thoroughfare especially
the men aro less than 10 feet apart be
tween Chestnut and Walnut streets. In
front of tho Union League this morning
there was n veritable cluster of scalp
ers. Every time a. memncr entered or
Ift the I.eaguo he was besieged, and
many sales wore made.
A man who looked like an Englishman,
wearing palo spats, a monocle, glovea to
match the aputs and a neat little Howe1
In his buttonhole, was the envy of the
other speculators for neatly nit hour this
morning. He managed to got Into th
liellevue-Stratford and mode many sales
before a pnllto request was made to him
to leave the hotel.
Incoming trains from all parts of the
country were met by the speculators at
North Philadelphia, B2d ftreet, Wost
Philadelphia and other points this morn
ing. Kom of the Industrious scalpers
went as far south as Wilmington to s"t
tho trains bringing the politicians from
Washington. Conductors did their best
to halt the scaltlng on the trains. Thy
were as effective as the police.

MACK'S MEN KEEN
TO WIN FIRST GAME
CnntlntH'il from Tuko One
the plnvers, it Is possible that Stalllngs
has not yet decided, or If ho has that
ho la keeping the matter a secret oven
from tho players.
In the event that Rudolph Is not called
on todnv. .lames Is suro to go In. Tyler
will bo used In tho second conflict. In all
probability.
While the fans eagerly await tho an
nouncement of tho battery this after
noon, they are sure of the man whom
Connie Mack will assign to the task of
beating tho enemy down In tho first
Biime. Charles Albert Render Is tho man.
He will hnvo as his battery mate Wully
Schang.
Unless some accident happens to ono
of the members of tho Athletics' tenm,
tho llnc-up today will be exactly tho
same as tho one uted In the first game
of tho 1013 world's series against the
New York Giants at tho Polo Grounds.
This not only includes the same men In
the same positions, but means thnt theie
will be no change In tho batting order.
During the past Hvo weeks Mack has
thlfted his batting order, but he sold to
day that he would u tho ono which
had been so successful during tho past
two seasons This means that Eddie
Murphy, tlw best lead-off man In the
major leagues, will top tho batting order,
with Rube Oldrlng second. The batters
will follow in their regular oiderColllns,
Baker, Mclnnls, Strunk, Harry, catcher
and pitcher.
Connie Mack, according to a custom
originating- In the early nineties, did not
give out any column Interviews either on
sta lings' or on the Athletics chances.
All he said was;
Well, I feel that our fellows are In good
shape and I know thoy wilt glvo the best
thtits In them. You know t always hao
enough confidence In my players to think
they will win. but then I realize that the
Iloston team is a good one and ono which
U new to us. That makes It n harder
proposition. We got to fight 'cm. I know
that very well, This Is not going to bo
.-iiefi an easy series as some think It Is."
The Athletics held a final meeting at 11
o'clock this rooming, discussing all of tho
points whicl'h.vd not been brought up
at the dally gatherings and talking over
some of the plays and players which
had been previously dissected, verbally.
The prevailing opinion among the Mack
iren themselves is that they have a tight
on theli hands, but that thoy are sure to
win and win in fewer games than fan
ilotn In gt-neral believes.
Chief Render and Eddie Plank, the two
:i en upon whom Mack will depend to
t-ar the brunt of tho defensive burden,
fairly glowed this morning, so well havo
tl.ey trained themselves for this series.
The Chief enld his nrm never felt bet
ter and thnt he would bo ready to go In
nny time and as often as his leader
called en him.
"Of course, I can't sav thnt I am going
" pitch today," said the Chief, "but I
n-n ready all right. I'll be ready to go
in any other day, too."
K.lwiml S Plank, who Is reallv on
optimist, but whose conversation would
1 nil one to believe that hP was tho rank
est pessimist about his own condition.
nvry said: "Well, tho old souplBn't
nuitn ready for the pot, but J gutA It
will he sofm. No. I don't know whori I'm
irnlns tn pl'ch. Moybo Connie Isn't going
to use me at all.
"After that last remark, Eddie couldn't
r eln smiling at tho ridiculousness of his
own forhodincs,
It may not ho known to some, but the
rivalry that exists between the Athletics
aid the Craves is far more intense than
1- tweon the local c-lub and the New York
a'nnt. Those who know the attitude of
tl'e Markm'n are aware of the fact that
ome of them, before the Iraves cinched
the flag, said that they would bo willing
t irlv the difference between the money
Which they would get at the Polo Grounds
and Fenway Park to get a chance to
beat the Braves.
This feeling has been intensified on
both siiiei, by the trouble which arose
yaitprday between Connie Mack and
riiulllnKs. Bo when the teams line up
nt t o'eloek today, there will be three
reasons for the greatest struggle In base
1 ull his'oi vthe large end of the purse,
the world's baseball championship title
and the personal satisfaction of beating
the other team.
At the liellevue-StratfoTd this mom
In? all of thu leading baseball moguls of
the land were seen walking and talking
in the lobby. There the National Com
mission bad headquarters. Garry Herr
mann. nan Johnwin and Governor Tener

Tho great body of newspaper men who

ACTION OF SUNLIGHT NEW
THEORY OF ORIGIN OF LIFE
Has Power of Forming Orgnnlc Com
pounds From Inorgnnic Matter.
That the green coloring matter of
plants, called chlorophyll, has mysteilous
power of transforming light energy Into
chemical energy and thus forming or
ganic compounds from Inorganic Is a
well-known fact. This has seemed to
somo scientists to Indicate that life has
Its very beginning In tills notion of un
llght upon Inorganic matter. At the last
meeting of tho British Association, Prof
Iionjamln Moore and Aithur Webster re
ported the result of laboratory Investiga
tions into this subject.
The action of chlorophyll Is understood,
though how It works Is a mystery; but
chlorophyll Itself Is one of tho most
complex of organic substances and its
origin must bo explained. Tho Scientific
American says the authors found that
when dilute solutions of collodial ferric
hydroxide or the corresponding compound
of urunlum are oxposed to strong sun
light, or tho light of a mercury nrc, the
eamo organic compounds aro formed ns
are found In the first stage In the
process of the organlo synthesis by th
green plant, viz , formaldehyde and
formlo oeld
The deduction from this would be that
as a planet eools down first only elements
ore present; these combine, first Into
blnarv compounds, then Into simple crys
talloldal salts. Ry union of single mole
cules Into groups of SO or (A colloids aro
formed. As these Increase in compIeslt.
thev also lose their stability; thoy are.
easily ilestrovod by sudden changes and
ore peculiarly sensitive to energy change.
The colllds take up water and carbon
dioxide, and under the action of sunlight
produce tho simplest organlo structure?.
The latter continue to reach with them
selves and with inorganic matter, ever
holding up more complex organic colloids,
till they acquire tho property of trans
forming light energy Into chemical en
ergy. Thus may life havo originated a"3
may still bo originating, by the Jaw of
molecular complexity,

AIMING AND FIRING
DREADNOUGHT GUNS
AMONG FINE ARTS
Operations Aboard Big Bat
tleships in Action Interest
ing and Thrilling The
Range Finders' Battery.
In Lontlon Answers Is nn Interesting
description of tho operations that enter
Into tho discharge of the great guns of n
dreadnought, tlioso terrible 13.5-Inch guns
that can hurl a 12u0-pound shell a dis
tance of 15 miles, and that can penetrate
the thickest armor at a distance of 6000
yards. In the conning tower stand tho
captain, his navigating ofllecr, a midship
man oi two and several other ofllcors and
men. Tho conning tower Is protected by
12-Inch armor. Above It Is another' pro
tected chamber, and hero aro the gunnery
lieutenant and half n dozen ofllcors and
men. Surrounding them aro the iange
ilnders and other instruments essential
tor marksmanship when tho object Is far
distant. Tho man at tho range-finder,
with his ops nt tho rubber oyo pieces,
keeps monotonously chanting; out tho dis
tances ns the ship approaches the target.
Inside the turrets themselves the men
aro grouped around their guns The gun
layers, the men who sight and fire tho
i;uns every now nnd then, twitch Utile
brass handles nnd the great breeches rise
or fall slightly as tho sights continue
trained upon tho tnrget.
A minute or two later, after nn order
has come through from tho control posi
tion, the lieutenant In charge of the
foremost turret suddenly raps out the
order: "Pilnc both guns to the rcndyl"
The men standing by tho breeches lllck
over their small levers. "Itlght gun
icady!" "Left gun ready!" they report
in rapid succession. The range, mean
while, is decreasing rapidly, and about
ten seconds Inter there comes tho strident
rattling of nn electric boll. It Is the
signal to open fire. Tho gun-layer holds
his breath, sees tho cross wires of his
telescope cutting the Inttlcework of the
target, and then presses an Innocent
looking brass thumhplcce. As ho doea
so thero Is a roar and, with a blaze of
oiango flamo and a pall of brown smoko,
u projectile weighing more than half a
ton Is sailing through tho nlr on Its way
toward tho target. Outside the turret
tho concussion J.s terrible, but Inside It
Is barely felt, and the only means tho
gun's crow have oT knowing their weapon
has gone off Is by the rocking of the
turret and tho recoil of the gun. Hack
she slides, with tho water whistling and
gurgling through the hydraulic valves
far below. She stops, nnd then, as the
running-otit springs exert their strength,
Is driven back to the firing position.
LOADING THI1 GUNS.
The men meanwhile are working like
demons. Some ono, by moving a small
lever which actuates a hydraulic en
gine has opened tho breech A cloud
of aerid cordite smoko fills the tmret,
but another man, turning a tap, sends
a let of water spouting Into the chamber
to extinguish nny still-burning fragments.
Rverythlns seems chaos, but every ono
knows what to do they have done It
time after time, and In less than 30
seconds wo hear a sharp order, "Right
gun load!" A man moves nn upright
lever and an arrangement looking like a
mlnlaturo lift climbs Into view through
the flour. It has come up from tho shell
room below laden with the new charge
nnd projectile, and stops dead In the
rear of the gun. Iteposlng In a tray is
the shot Itelf. Another lover is worked
and a flexible chain hydraulic rammer,
looking liko a Miake, darts out of Its
resting place and pushes the shot before
It Into the breech of the gun. It Is driven
homo with a dull thud. The rammer Is
withdrawn, another handleMs pulled, and
two enormous brown cylinders of cordite
fall into the tray Just vacated by the
projectile. They, too, are rammed home,
and before we o.ulte realize what has
happened the hammer and lift have dis
appeared, the breech of the gun has been
swung home and the great weapon is
readv for firing In the fire-control posi
tion the gunnery lieutenant has seen the
flrit shot tear a jagged hole in the
target, and promptly whispers an order
to h man at his side. The latter moves
a small handle, and 30 seconds later thsre
Is another discharge.
Prubably the most important of the in
struments employed in naval gunnery
Is the telemetro or range-finder. The
accuracy of the shooting depends wholly
upon the accuracy of judging the dls
lance, for In long range shooting the
shell t'ocs not travel in a straight line,
but In a curve. It drops upon the target.
Nut only is It absolutely essential to get
the proper range, but It Is of vital im
portance to get it befoie thu enemy, as
experience shows that the gun that first
KU the ranye and first sends a shell
dgainst the enem has secured a great
edmntage The range is found by trl
angulation. and Is a mathematical prob
lem wrked out rapld'y by the experts.
The length of tfce telemetre, -which is
precisely ijt'.enmrsd, forms the base of
the 'rUogle, of which the point whose
distance '- to be measured Is too apex.
0, 1914.
An optical nrrangement serves to mens
ure tho anglo at this apex, and a simple
formula then gives tho dlstanco sought.
This optical nrrangement Is rather a
complicated affair, nnd Important parts
of It aro two mirrors, but Its operations
nro rather too technical to bo described.
Howover, It may be Bald that tho length
of tho base employed Is an Important
element and that tho longor It Is the less
Is tho chance of error. It Is said that at
tho present time experts nro nt work
upon a new telemctro of which tho baso
used shnll be the total length of tho ship,
Instead of tho six-foot base most com
monly employed. In the British navy
"batteries" of several telcmotrcs are
used so connected that the operation of
ono moves tho others and a single rend
ing gives the mean dlstnnco.

TOLAND-SMITH DRAW
"Jimmy" Toland and Harry Smith, both
ot Southwnrk, met In a wild and weird
display of tho "manly nrt" at tho Broad
way Athletic Club last night In which
thre wns no winner or loser. In their
Intense deslro to end matters In the
shortest time possible, both boys forgot
nil their cleverness and "slugged" for
all they were worth all the time. Twice
the boys roughed It so hard that botli
landed In the audience, the first time
completely breaking down the ropes. It
was an unsatisfactory bout ull through.
The preliminary bouts, however, made
up for the wind-up. although the scml-wlnd-up
lasted only ono round, when
"Tommy" Shields knocked out "Pete"
McAvoy with a Bhort right hook to the
Jaw. "Hddlo" Hayes, after winning the
first three rounds from "Young" Mod
way, fell back and Medwny boxed hlm
telf into a draw. Tho feature of the
evening wns the boxing of "Ycling"
O'Brien, one of tho best little "fly"
weights developed In this city In years.
In the most artistic manner ho outboxed

Now York Sun says, nearly $3M,000,000 In
gold was hoarded In thrco countries In
sums ranging from a gold piece or two up
to tons of thousands of dollars. Austrla
Hunvrary was credited with hiding away
$130,000,000, Gcrmnny foo.000.000 and Franco
$130,000,000. This was money which had

thero was an unguossable quantity of gold
already burled In tho ground.
Russia Is believed to havo tens of thou

Impossible to guess at tho amount of gold

Vast sums of gold and silver coin havo

amount that Is hidden in continental Eu
rope where foioign armies have only to
cross n. surveyed boundary Hue or a little
creek to raid their enemies. Turkey, whose
people have been terrorized for uses, has
more lost hoards than the world will ever
know about, because thero the hoarding
has gone on for ages, during which
armies have swung up and down tho de

through India, found millions urou mil

In the ground, in places where none

wealth which the natives of India bur,

Tho Ameer of Bokhara a Russian as.

accumulating a hoard amounting to fs .
