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

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.

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

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,

HERBERT D. ALLMAN
Campaign manager of tho newly
formed Franklin party.
raANKLINMDELAY
NAMING CANDIDATES
AVill Wait for Official Count Be
fore Placingt Porter and
Others on Ticket
Nomination papers to place on the
ticket of the new Franklin party the
names of Georgo D. Porter for Mayor
and of the other candidates nominated
at the primary election by tho Washing
ton party are being circulated in every
ward today, following the meeting of the
Public Service Committee of One .undred
list night, at which these candidates
were indorsed, and at which Herbert D.
Allman was selected as campaign
manager.
Mr. Allman took charge today. His
first announcement was n declaration
that tho campaign for the election of
George D. Porter and nn unbossed Coun
cils Is starting with a rush.
"The cnmpalgn against contractor rule
will bo aggressive," he said. "This Is a
fight to tho nnlsh. Independent citizens
of their own accord are flocking to tho
Franklin party, and In moro than half
of tho wards In the city already have
organized committees to handle tho cam
paign. "Every division In "the city will be or
ganized thoroughly before the end of next
week. The Independent forces were never
before so united as they aro today. Even
in tho Blankenburg campaign tho number
of citizens who volunteered their services
for the Independent cause did not equal
thnt of today. We will have 15.000 or
20,000 Independent workers nt the polls on
election day. Tthey will all volunteer
their services, too, and will not be only
party watchers."
The candidates of the Franklin party
will have their names officially placed on
the ticket of the new party after the of
ficial count has been completed. In tho
meantime, a city committee will bo
formed for the new party, and the cam
paign thoroughly organized, so that It
can be launched aggressively li. every
part of the city as soon aa tho party
candidates have been selected.
The Franklin party ticket, as indorsed
last night by the Public Service Commit
tee of One 'Hundred, will be as follows:
Mayor Oeorge " Porter.
City Controller Eugene J. McAleer.
City Solicitor James Alcorn.
Iteeorder of Deeds Max llersberg.
Sheriff George D. Cox.
Clerk aoarter Sessions Court Harry
I:. Walter.
Coroner John W. West.
County Commissioners George V.
Holmes nnd Andrew J. Pfnff.
All of the candidates were nominated
on tho Washington party ticket at the
primary. A tight race between Andrew
J. Wilson, of the 33d Ward, and Alexis
J. Limeburner, of tho 2Sth Ward, and
close contests for several of the council
manic nominations caused the Franklin
party leaders to decide to wait for the
official count before the candidates of
the new party are officially placed on the
ticket.
Tho selection of Allman as campaign
manager was hailed by Independents to
day as a happy choice, as It was Allman
who first suggested tho name Franklin
for the new party.
The campaign manager Is a successful
business man, a Republican in national
affairs and a strong independent locally.
He Is a member of the Manufacturers'
Club and organized the Committee of One
Thousand, which so strongly supported
the Taylor transit plans. Two years ago
he was nominated for Common Council
by the Washington party In the 27th
Ward, but withdrew to effect fusion.
In a statement, issued following hi
acceptance of the post as campaign man
ager, he declared that the issue this year
Is purely a local one, and called upon all
Independents to co-operate with him in
the fight, against the contractor bosses.
