PANIC AMONG
TICKET SCALPERS
ON EVE OF GAME
Wild Scenes in Hotel Cor
ridors When Public Sale
of $2 Seats Begins
PHILLY MANAGERS' COUP
Open Window nt 15th and
Huntingdon Streets to
Delight of Fans
Scene that exceeded In violence and
wild cries of dismay and exhilaration
acme of the situation on the floor of
the fltock Exchange. In times ot financial
panic rhado tho c6rrldora and vicinity of
the ncllevue-Stratford a lively an a
bull fight In the terrible last hour before
the name began.
The essence of the excllem'enl was that
wnlle the speculators Imd held on to their
tickets too long; and saw with terror the
tendency of prices to fall. the were
still frantically trjlnn to set as much
money as possible through all aorta of
complex offers of combinations of tickets.
Again and again the house detectives
drove the scalpers from the building, but
they came rushing back Again through
another door, or continued their negotia
tions on the sidewalks outside.
This news, coupled with the Informa
tion that tho police were pulling tho
scalpers out of line at tho ball grounds
and the management allowing only the
alo ot single sets of tickets to Indl
vlduala, came down to the Bcllevuo
Stratford by phone, and sent n cold
rhock of horror to the already cold hearts
of the ticket speculators.
There waa a sweeping tendency to
"dump" everything In sight In the way
of pasteboard on to nn already flabby and
tottering baseball market, but presently
there was a restoration ot confidence
cmong the scalpers and money flew about
like rice at a wedding
The Phillies' management had caused a
bad fright to niter through the scalpers
before noon by opening a window at 15th
and Huntingdon streets for the sale of
$2 seats that had not been called for. It
was announced that only tickets reserved
by fans through the mall and not taken
up were to bo sold.
WOMEN ENTER THE COMBAT.
Women played an Interesting and un
dignified part In the ticket combat, both
-at the hotel and at the ball grounds. A
"spec" rushed through the corridor hold
Ing up a set-of tickets. They had cost
him J9. "Who'll gimme $33 for 'em? Last
chancel" he yelled. The hotel detectives
were working their way through the mob
to get him out Into Broad street,
"I've got 'em," said a woman In a
blue silk dress, and held up the seven
$5 bills. She wns about to get them when
a little old lady with a gold lorgnette
and a funny, old-world bonnet thrust H3
under her rival's nose. It was 25 min
utes of 2, and the game started at 2.
A minute later she was speeding con
tentedly up Broad street In a taxi, tak
ing her daughter and son to the ball
game.
At the field the part women played most
prominently was In aid of the complex
movement of scalpers. When these unde
sirable citizens were pulled out of the
Una they got woman confederates to go
in and buy tickets for them. Then, after
the women had got the pasteboards they
would meet them on the corner and set
them; this kept up until the women's
faces became 'familiar to the police
through repeated visits to the ticket win
dow. All the lata expensive tickets were
gone by 1 o'clock.
But the bleacher tickets were still being
sold as late as. 145 o'clock. There was a
mob ot 'several hundred persons at that
time clamoring wildly at tho grandstand
entrance, and the police vainly tried to
divert them to the bleachers, because the
grandstands were filled. But the inmates
of this crazy crowd were beyond control,
and had to be cleared out of the street.
But before this litter ot humanity was
wept up, lots of persons who had tickets
were pushed far back Into the seething
mass on lath street and many of these
were 15 minutes late getting Into the
grounds and so missed most of the fun
that Is, the anticipation Just as the first
batter goes to the plate.
Scalpers were harder at work than ever
before In the history of the game. The
streets of the city and the lobbies of
hotels were turned Into miniature ticket
exchanges. Prices were going up again
and the1 scalpers were desperately trying
to Increase their supplies of the precious
pasteboards.
The first fan In line after the clearing
out of tho mercenaries was V. I,. Clark,
of 7032 Paschall avenue. The place of
honor cost him S3. It. O. Burns, ot Ityer
son. Term., was second. He paid 12 for

FANS PUnSUE SCALPEBS.
In the city suspicions were tenfold
greater Fans without the price to pay
what the scalpers asked glared savage-
a ly wnen accosiea. The rooter with but
V0, wishing to buy tickets for which
0 or I0 was asked, persisted patiently.
HeMackled scalper after scalper, named
his figure and was laughed at In derision.
Ona man Is said to have cleaned up
M6 without risking a cent. He couldn't
risk a cent, according to his own story,
because he was flat broke. Ho went to
the Phllly sale at the Park yesterday
Just for the torture of seeing other
persona obtain tickets. A scalper offered
to pay him 150 for a strip of $3 seats.
While he was turning this over In his
mind one of the men In line with a notice
entitling him to tickets attracted his
attention. He asked the notice holder
hat he wanted for a 13 strip.
Slbout $W," said the man with the
nqtl.ee.
Th newly established speculator
"wung" the deal. He then launched
Into business for himself and soon was
buying and selling right and left. A
peculiar feature of the crowd today was
the appearance of men who sold their
tickets yesterday. Today they were anx
ious to buy. Thu gambling fever has
made victims of thousands of rooters
Enthusiasm for the coming games
seemed to be running higher In this city
than aver before In the history of base
ball. Kvery hotel In ths city Is crowded.
All Incoming trains brought fans anxious
to the classic serlts ot the great

LOSS TO SPECULATORS
More Thnn 125 Choice Scats
Left on Hands of Pnste
' bonrd Brokers nt Last
Moment
ROOFTOPS SELL WELL
Cheap Places in Centre Field Remain
Unsold, Duo to Belief That
All Had Gone Early
There were nt least 123 grandstand scats
vacant at tho world's series game today.
Scalpers had waited too long In trlng
to get the highest possible heartbreak
ing prices for their tickets.
The gnme had started: nobody wanted
the stale tickets. But while these scalp
ers were frantically trying to find buyers
five minutes before the game people were
buying seats on the roofs of nearby
houses for from M cents to 5, not htiYlnic
come in contact with the scalpers. The
Hcant grandstnnd seals were In sections
I and M of the gallery.
For some m Merlons reason there were
from 150 to H vacant scats In the centre
field bleachers oer the clubhouse. The
only explanation of this was that mnny
hunriieds or persons who would hae
bought these scats had not thought It
worth their whllo to go uptown, thinking
It would be Impossible to get Into the
grounds.
HOOF SEATS ON SALE.
Householders placed chairs on the roofs
and solicited patronage from men and
women who were unnble to obtain seats
within the baseball field. A clear view
of the diamond was possible from the
houses and all ot the enthusiasm of the
bleachers could be found on tho Impro
vised grandstands. As spectators In the
bleachers nnd grandstand applauded each
successful play on the part ot the Phil
lies, an echoing yell resounded from the
housetops.
The vicinity of Broad and Huntingdon
streets assumed the appearance of a
county fair. Hundreds of peanut and
lemonade venders stood on the corners.
Housewives had baked pics and cakes
for the occasion, and they were sold
by imall bos at high prices. Various
industrial concerns In the neighborhood
marked the occasion by the elaborate
decoration of their buildings.
When the Phillies scored the first run
of the game the dinnor whistle ot the
Ford establishment, nt the northwest
corner ot Broad street and Lehigh ave
nue, was blown for Ave minutes. So loud
was the sounding of the siren that the
cheers of the fans were nlmost Inaudible.
CROWDS OUTSIDE.
it seemed as u mere were as mnny
baseball enthusiasts on Broad street out
side of the field as there were within the
grandstand. Truant schoolboys seemed
happy to be a part of the great throng
ana derived satisfaction merely from
their ability to bo within a few hundred
feet of the historic "battlefield." Little
girls, tco, were a part of the crowd.
Speculation In tickets near the grounds
was far less extenslvo than It had been
before the start of the game at Broad and
Walnut streets. A few scalpers could
be found here and there, and there was
no apparent Interference on the part of
tho police, but the men were surprisingly
unsuccessful In their efforts to sell
tickets.
STOP WATCH CATCHES
VARI-C0L0RED EVENTS
Here They Are, Set Down by
Alert Clocker at the
Stadium
NATIONAL LEAGUE PARK, Oct. 8.
Estimates of odd events at the game to
day place their number In the thousands,
so that it Is Impossible to record them
all. They' will be found In tho dope of
the hot-stove league this winter. The
following list sets forth some ot the In
cidents of the swiftly moving scene:
2:12 The Boston rooters started to
cheer a man who looked like John K.
Tener, only to find the object of their
admiration was a ticket scalper. Then
they cut him dead.
2:17 Jack Barry was recognized. Jack
Barry was cheered.
2.18H-Jack Barry lifted his hat in the
approved Back Bay manner and howed
gracefully.
2:2S Ernie Shbre, with tears In his
eyes, contributed to Qavvy Cravath one
tl) base, passing him.
2:29 The Boston inflelders became
whlrllngdervlshcs. (There probably was a
reason for this. It may have been due to
tho tact that Luderus was called out at
first by the Inflelders, who really haven't
any right to do so, you know, and called
safe by the Umpi., who aro the properly
constituted authorities In such cases, and
whose Jurisdiction It Is not at all clubby
to question.)
2 p. m. The umpires, determined to
do tlfelr duty to the full, also to the
public and the Nat. Commlsh prepare to
cal tho game by looking self-conscious.
2:00V4 A Fltchburg man with an armful
of silver walked out on the field.
2:01-So did Pat Moran, the Phillies,
more Fltchburg men, playmates of
Moran, and others, who came under the
general classification of uninvited guests,
2.02 The man with the cup gave It to
Moran. The ticket scalpers estimated Its
valu eat prices ranging from 14.98 to 174.
2:03 The field was cleared of Interlop
ers and Fltchburg men and play started.
2.0$ A fan, who suddenly found his
voice gone, In an Interval of silence, got
so mad he tried to eat his hat. He was
restrained.
2:07V4 A man In ths Ford plant got hit
other arm and ona leg through a window
after fighting for the chance two hours.
2.31 The fan who lost his voice found
It made no difference, and stopped try
ing to eat hit shoe or was it his hatT
2:37 (approximately) Alex got the first
hit for the Phillies, He was but you
can imagine that.
1:38 Umpire Idem dusted hi shoes.
' 2:39 A moving picture man almost lost
hit self-control in the pavilion when his
machine gAi out of order.
2'40 A gent In the press box went and
caught a foul from Lewis. And whom.
yes, whom do you think the gent was?
It wat Ty Cobb. He blushed, too, when
his fellow literary men congratulated
him.
4.00 Paskert got a hit.
3:01 Paskert went to second on Cra
vftth's bunt.
t:02-U It reliably reported that Paskert
scored. Ob, Joyoutnassl Cheers, shouts,
yowls, etc., and bedlam.
J.OU The welkin was split.
3:10 to 1:11 Boston rooters pre-empted
the fifth lnnlntf at their lucky session and
arose for a rally.
3.'U The fifth Inning ended. There wat
no rally.
3:13 Hard was discovered in a sand
wich, rumor tayt.
1:14 Burns kidded a Boston runner
dashing madly for the plate by making
him believe he wat going to misjudge a
pop fly. Then he caught it,
3:SS 3tock scored.

SEEN AND HEARD IN BLEACHER
AND GRANDSTAND AT GAME TODAY
Incipient "Scraps" Nipped in the Bud by Police Mem
ory Bets. Among the Fans Would "Gavvy"
Hit a Homer?
Tne tlrtd fans In the bleachers were
not tr j tired of waiting to start cheering
and wrangling, nnd several incipient
scraps 7ere nipped In the bud by more
or less alert policemen.
A small army of photographers came
out early and strutted nbout the Held,
wa'tinff for something to snap. "Take a
picture ot me, mister?" was one of the
elevprest nnd most frequent remarks
hurled nt the picture men, who occasion
ally did snap tho packed fans, who would
cheer vehemently on these occnslon, In
the hope of getting the photographer's
nervo.
Memory bets became the order of the
day In tho bleacherB, and even the small
boy put up his dime or nickel on the
Phillies' chances.
Every third word In tho enthused bab
ble from the bleachers had a strong re
semblance to "fJavvy." Cravath would
evidently disappoint fully 83 per cent, of
the fans If he did not knock n home
run the first time nt bat.
A look through the grandstand dis
covered tho finest and largest collection
of magnates, players and manageis ever
brought together under one roof.
The peanut shells gathered at tho park
tomorrow will be of sufficient quantity
to make a new roadbed for all the un
finished roadbeds In the suburbs.
Tho contents of the pop bottles would
have floated the superdreudnought Dela
ware. Three tons of chewing gum were
"chawn."
Two of the venders evidently worked
together. One sold hot smoked herring
and rolls; the other followed In a few
minutes with frail lemonaae.
The baseball historian, who knows the
life story of every ball player and tells It
In public by the ynrd, was silenced when
the game began.
