fci!Li2ffiS 2 ' oRr,ANiznopf,w)i;s i BiDlERATK CLUEFS ltefMtfelkaa Leaders Tnkot Ad vantage of Changed Juaw, Showing Weakness, Say in dependent Campaigners REFORMERS CONFIDENT The Republican Organisation today is combing every division In the city for Organization followers whoso names nr on tjio assessor's JWs, but who have not regliitered, la an effort to gt them all qualified to register .before 9 o'clock to night, The frantic efforts to find a few moro voter were watched with satisfaction by trio leaders of the independent campaign, as the Independents saw In the hiint for votes an open admlslon of the, wetkni'ss of the Organization and lis fear of over whelming Independent strength. Many Independent voters thcmsdlveit took advantage of the trick by which tho Organization planned to register several thousand of Its followers at tho last minute, and went to tho tax. office, at City Hall, and obtained poll tax receipts. A steady stream of electors, whose names aro on the assessors' lists, but who did not register on September 2, 7 or 11. because they had no tax receipts, filed. Into the tax office In City Hall nil day to obtain tax receipts so they could peti tion the Hoard of Registration Commis sioners to place their names on tho reg istration lists. Both the Organization and the incte pendants were represented In tho lonjj line, and by tho middle of the- afternoon! It was estimated that 1000 electors had J paid tbblr poll tax. The obtaining of tax receipts and tho belated registration are made possible by a change In the election law by the last legislature. Independent leaders today, colled atten tion to the. fact that although the Organ ization leaders, when they announced their plan and pleaded for an additional B00O registration, had In mind only tho Organization vote the change- In the law applies to every, elector and that nntl Organlzatlon electors can also register under the plan. 'Electors who- failed to register on any of the three registration daB this fall. Vfhcther they were In Philadelphia and, in good health on those days or not. can. liavo their names placed on the registra tion lists under the amended law. The only requirement Is that the elector has not paid a tax for two years before No vember 2. 1915. Payment of a poll tax must be made In City Hall before 9 o'clock tonight. The Organization has arranged to keep the J tax office open until that hour tonight; A "pink petition," provided for by the amended law, can be obtained from thet Board of Registration Commissioners1 nt any time before October 13. It must be filled out, sworn or affirmed to, and filed with the Registration Commissioners be fore October 13, as the law requires thou iommissioiiern 10 aci upon ine peuuun. ob that day, which Is Just 0 days before ejection. The change In the law that makes reg istration so easy, Is contained In the pamphlet Inves of Pennsylvania, 1915, act 437, anvndtng Sections 15 and IS of Reg istration in First-class Cities, July 24, 1913, pace 1030 under the subhead: "FUlng, of Petition and Payment of Taxes." The "Information required to bo re corded In the register," as stated in tho form of tho "pink petition" prepared by the Board of Registration Commission ers of Philadelphia, Is simply a state t rnent to the effect that tho petitioner 'has paid no State or county tax between November Zr 1913, and September 11, 1915. The only other information he must give concerns his place of residence and the length of time be; has resided In his division. PENN BE A TS F. AND M.

WORLD'S SERES OPENS HERE ON OCTOBER 8 Continued from Pate One tho two teams will remain in the city in which the gamo Is scheduled until it is played. There will be no dodging from one (own .to another to escape bad weather should rain overtake the warring clubs In tlther Boston or Philadelphia. The official list of prices for seats in Boston and Philadelphia was announced as follows: Philadelphia Boxes, ti: lower and upper grandstand, reserved, $3; right field pavilion, 12; general admission, 11. Boston Boxes, 15; grand stand, $3; first and third-base stands, reserved, $2; bleachers, tU The commission then appointed as umpire Charles Rlgler and William J, Klem, of the Nationals, and William Kvans and Frank, O'Loughlin. of the American. The official ecorer named was J. G. Tay lor Spink, of BL Louis. Two other scorers will be appointed, one of them a Boston nan and the other from Philadelphia. These will be chosen by the Baseball Writers' Association of the respective cities. That the Phillies will have a great ad vantage In playing the first two games of tho world's series in this city, Is the opinion pf baseball men throughout tho country. The fact that the Red' Box are enteiing the series the heavy favorite outside of this, city, caused tho belief to grow that the Phillies would have little chance if the series opened in Boston, unless they got an excellent break lp. the opening game. At home the Phillies have been Invin cible. They have always batted much harder and played mote consistent ball in every department, while Alexander Is Just nB effective at home as on th e road, despite the smaller field which in most cases is a great handicap to a twirler. Lack of confidence and ovcrconlldence have been the cause of many world's series defeats. It Is certain that the Phil lies would not have entered the series overconfident under any conditions, but local fans have feared tho .playing of tho nrst two games in Jioston, ueueving mat the Phillies would, be at sea. It Is the first world's series for the ma jority of the Phllly team, while the most of the Boston team took part In the series against the Giants In 1912, and would probably not be nervous or under any strain. Playing at home with thousands of encouraging fans around should send the rhlllles Into the series with confi dence, and that is an absolute necessity. In the past It ha been considered an omen of bad luck for a team to win the toss and stage the first world's series game on Its home field, but President Baker and Manager Moron refused to be moved by this old suuerstitlon and de cided that It would bo a great help to the team to open the series In this city. Not since 1910 ha a team whlcn won the toss and staged the first game of the world' series been the winner, but the Phillies smashed one precedent In win ning the pennant and feel sure that they will smash another in Hie coming series. It has been said that starting the serlea op Saturday, October 9, would have been a great advantage to the Phillies, as Alexander could have been used In the opening game on Saturday and then could have come back on Monday, after having a day of rest, but Moran believes that it will be better to have Alexander open the series here on Friday and then have two days' rest before pitching the opening game in Boston. In this way, Chalmers, Mayer or Rlxev. who are logical choices for mound duty on Saturday, will have the advantage of pitching before a friendly crowd. With the series opening on October fl, nnd Alexander pitching the first two games in tills city, tho Phllly twjrler selected for the third game would have been forced to pitch before a howling mob of Bos tonlans. This experience will not worry Alex ander, while it might cause another Phllly pitcher to be slightly bit form. Alexander pitches Just a well at home as he does on foreign field, and Presi dent Baker evidently felt quite confident about the ability of the pitching staff to hold up lt end when he consented to starting the series a day earlier. The National Commission decided this Issue after talking the matter over before tho toss of the coin and It 1 certain that neither President Tener of the National League nor President Baker of the Phillies would have consented to such an arrangement unless they were absolutely sure that it waa not working a hard chip on the National League champions. Another advantage of the start on Friday Instead of Saturday lie in the fact that, barring rain, the aerie would have to be finished before tho following Sunday and by working Alexander on Saturday nnd Monday, a he would not have the benefit of two days' rest at any time during th series. If th eerie should be a long one, a everything In. mcatea it win , it might prove an ab, olute necessity for "Alex" to have this extra day' rest. There I little doubt but that Alexander can pitch three game during the series, but there has been much doubt a to the ability of any pitcher the gam ha ever produced being able to go Into four con tests, working every other day. It js possible for Alexander to work four games now and have the benefit of two day off between the first and second gam, which mean that he will open 111 third gam of the series Jgt, fresh a he wa at the start, SIX GO TO WHIPPING POST Wins Negrqes, Convicted of Larceny, Flo at Naw Caatle, Del, WILMINGTON, PL, Oct, I.-Blx Hffr Prisoner wer whipped at the New Cartl County WorkkeuM today for larceny.
