Charley Comiskey says so and has gone bo far as to emit in tlfo mate's Attorney to back him up. All ot which proves that there Is a morvy UMte scramble In the Windy City for reserved seats for tho serious series which"' bcrJM next Saturday afternoon. Some 15,000 seats are ready to bo dis tributor ,to jnore than 200,000 applicants and ticket scalpers expect to reap a harrt , Hew they will get the tickets is a mystery, but they brazenly have MhrorUood S5 box seats for 37.60 and a corresponding Increase on tho grand Stand reservations. Tho "latest Interpretation of the law In Illlnolsjias been furnished by State's Attorney; Maclay Hoyne and is as follows: ""11 .eucb. evldenco Is presented to me by officials of the Chicago American 'Jacue club or by persons who claim to have been defrauded by ticket scalpers, t aboil, K an Investigation of the law warrants it, initiate criminal proceedings afcalnot the, guilty persons. I have explained to President Comiskey, of the Cbleao club, that he has the complete lecal right not to honor tickets sold or roaoU to the original purchaser for a price in excess of that printed upon the Uckat." This means that holders of tickets purchased from speculators can bo denied admission 'to the games and the man who sold them prosecuted. Comiskey Is anxious to give all 'of his patrons a square deal and will stop at nothing to gain thte ond. HUj principal customers ore working men on the South Side, and he r botioves they should be taken care of at the regular rates. There will be plenty J of jroomdn the bleachers and the chances are that the line is forming now for tho flrst game. Another scheme to keep the tickets away from the "specs" Is boing tried. Although the sale of reserved seats was stopped several days ago, tho, distribution will not be made until probably two or three days before the dint game. This will give the scalpers less time to get In their work. IN THE .meantime, what about New York? We have heard nothing about the attempts to be made to swat tho speculator, and wo probably won't. .New Yorkers expect to pay advanced prices to big events, and ore so ' accustomed to the practice that everything Is taken as a matter of course They wouldn't know how to act If they had to pay regular prices.

And Gleason knows as much baseball as any living man. Scries Strategy We havo always understood that strategy and tactics played a big part In world series work. But wo hae never seen tho Idea pan out. McGrmv has been a mana ger Btrong enough to win six pennunts. But he was won only one world series out o four starts. Tho only tactics or strategy Dill Carrlgan had to employ was to start Kuth, Leonard and Shore In turn. Something Different It must bo admitted, howsoecr. that this 1917 series Is something different, because the pitching problems are far harder. Kach club has four effects c pitchers. But thero will be cry little chance to use four pitchers. That extra day of traveling means a day of rent for the pitchers. Suppose Clcotto ami Schupp open on Saturday and both pitch well. After Sunday's game the third contest, opening In New York, will not be played until Tuesday, If McUraw works Schupp and rerrltt In the first two games he can then cither use Sallee In Tuesday's contest or come back with. Schupp, who will have had a three days' rest. If Itowland uses Clcotto and Itusscll In the flrbt two games he can cither use Faber or come back with CIcotte. A threo days' rest In a world series Is all any pitcher needs. With that workless day of traveling, two pitchers could easily work the first four games. It may be that Jlctlraw will use Schupp and Perrltt on Saturday and Sunday and again on Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving Sallee to pitch Friday's game in Chicago. But there Is very little chance that more than three pitchers to the club will eer be started. v How They Look The choice of pitchers after the first two games will depend to a great extent upon how they look under fire. If Schupp and Perrltt, the first two choices, are effective In their openers, both will very likely be PENN ATHLETICS Six Graduates to Compose Council as Court of Final .

In addition, through Its appointment of the graduate manager, the various standing committees will absorb much' of the work heretofore done by the board of directors of the Athletic Association. The University Council on Athletics will b composed as follows: Graduate members, John C, Bell. George II.

Other wise Sallee will bo tailed on. Outside of CIcotte, his main bet. Itowland has an een proposition tn select from In ltusell, Kaher and Williams. There Is very little choice among these three, rae that ltussell has the greater ex perience, and this Is no unimportant factor. If Itowland uses only threo men and he will hardly use any more no one can say now just which one of the four he will leave on the bench for n relief summons to arms. Short Game Spans It has been very soldom that moro than threo pitchers wero cer sturtcd In any world terles. In 1905 McGrnw used only Mathcwson and McOlnnlty, who worked all five games Connie Mnck used Coombs, Bender and Plank. StallliiRH worked lludolph, James and Tyler In turn. In 1915 Carrlgan left Babo lluth on the bench, as ho used Fobtcr, Shoro and Leonard. Last season was an exception. Although tho meleo ended In fle games, each club started four pitchers. Tho Bed Sox worked Shoro tho first game, lluth tho second game, JIajs ho third game. Ionard tho fourth game and Shoro tho fifth game. Tho Dodgers started Murquard tho first game, Smith tho second game, Coombs tho third game and Pfeffer tho fifth game This Is tho lifst tlmo both clubs started four pitchers, although In 1912 tho Bed Sox started Wood, Collins, O'Brien and Bedlent. The Added Day That extra day added for traveling will make a difference in tho selections. It will gle tho first two pitchers a com plete rest for their next start, even If thoy are called back in turn So whether JIcGraw will 'i.sC Schupp and Perrltt for tho first four games, or Schupp. Perrltt, Salleo and Benton, or only the first three, will depend upon tho first two games. Our gu-j Is that Schupp, Perrltt and Salleo will woik the first three games for the Giants, whllo CIcotte. Itussell and Faber will work tho first three for tho Sox. It Is In the proper helectlon of pitchers that tho two stategy boards will hao most of their trouble. The pitching will carry moat of the ad vanco gosslu before each game, as with' eight possibilities the number ot combina tions wlU be nlmost unlimited. If wo wero called upon which we aro notTo make a guess for tho first four games it would be nbout In this array: Flrht gajne Schupp vs. CIcotte. Second game Perrltt vs. Itussell.

Tho addition of tho special elght-oared-shell nice between the University of Pennsylvania and the Vesper Club helped things along, as this was one of the' cio.sest races of tho day. It was not known that this race would bo rowed until after the henlor centipede race was rowed. Tho Pcim bos wero down nt their clubhouse, and after going ocr tho matter with oach Wright he finally consented to let them get a mixed crew together to go into tho race. "There was not the usual largo crowd, owing to the fact that a large number of the oirsmcn nto away In urious army camps and In the navy. About 75 per cent of the members of the Philadelphia and University Barge Clubs arc In Uoernmeift sen Ice, and a largo number of Undine Bargo Club men arc also away, and as a general rule these three clubs havo a good representation in the urious regattas. One thing the regatta proed, and that was, that oen if the younger oirsmcn were not there, there was considerable enthusiasm among tho eterans, as thero were three veteran races on the program. Men From Iowa Kow Well Tho cutter crew from tho V. S. S. Iowa made a fine showing In their ince. They had no difficulty In getting away from their rlals fiom tho U. S S. Connecticut and U. S S.

The Junior centipede rnco was won by the 1'ndlno after a hard fight with the Vesper crew. The West Philadelphia crew prob ably would have finished better had they steered a better course, but as scaiti as the laco started they headed their boat for the east shore, and had It not been for the referee going right over to them their boat might havo been smashed. They towed many yards out of the course and, at that, only a Ilttlo distance behind Vesper, who was second. Had they gone straight this would have been a v cry close finish. Kneel and Costello Star "Wash" Kngcl made a good showing ngalnst Malone In the veteran single race. Kngel had a five-second handicap, and was pushed hard from the start. Paul Cos tello, of the Vesper, sprang a surprise In tho senior single race, beating out Xewlln its easily as he did. In former years Now lln has always been able to keep up with most of the local senior single scullers, but this year on account of business he has been unable to get In much rowing, and It showed up In his raco with Costello, who looked to be In the prime condition, and Tho way lie rowed made one think of Fred Shepherd, the former Harlem Iliver star, as his stylo of rowing Is similar to the way Miepherd rowed.

VA: Spectators Travel on Scheduleless Trains From All Points to Attend Opening Battle in Morgan town, W. Va. Pitt Not So Strong as Last Year By KODERT THEItK Is no need of any particular worry about the popularity of football this season, nor should the rabid gridiron fan lose any sleep over the prospect of the well-known sport hitting tho skids and slip ping Into tho dis card. The strenu ous, buffeting rough - and - tum ble pastime has not suffered since tho United States entered tho world war, and there will bo Just as much In terest. If not more, In 1017 as In pre vious years. The public is nnxlotis to see football and will turn out In support of the gamca In huge flocks Just tho samo as last year This rosy and op timistic view of the Koiirjivr v maxwkll situation was gleaned last Saturday iftcrnoon when I visited Morgitntown, W. Va to witness tho game between the University of Pittsburgh and West Virginia University. It was tho opening combat of the season nnd staged whllo tho rural dopesters wore devoting most of their tlmo convincing themselves and others that the Whlto Sox nnd Giants would win tho world series. Baseball was tho predominating sport, and It was not believed that the good people would tako a day off to take a look at a football but tle. Yet 4000 cash customers used up all of tho available space on the athletic field, nnd the attendance was almost as large as the population of the town. Hard l'lacc to Get To Morgantown is not an easy place to get to, as the railroads, while being well known, are rather uncertain Sometimes they run on schedule, but only some times. Despite this handicap, gridiron enthusiasts from Fairmont, Unlontown, ConncIIsvillc, Wheel ing, Charleston, Washington, Pa., Pitts burgh nnd other points took a chunco nnd boarded the lightning expresses early In the morning and traveled to Morgantown. If this Isn't hcrolu and tabid enthusiasm, what Is? Those who madohe trip were not dis appointed, however, for r.ie game was ono of the best nnd most thrilling ever staged nt such an early date. Two of the best teams In tho country played gilt-edged football and showed fprm that stamps them Is high class elevens, Pittsburgh won by the scoro of 11 to 0, and tho battle was closer than tho score Indicates. When the game was called West Virginia had Pitt on tho run, and there Is no telling what would have happened had the contest lasted another five minutes. West Virginia has a good foot ball team this year, nnd was Just finding Itself when tho final whistle blew. Pitt also has a good eleven, but It does not look ns strong ns last i ear's champion ship team. Hob Peck is missed at center and Pat Herron and. Thornhlll left gaping holes which will be difficult to fill. In addi tion to that, Jimmy Do Hart and Ited Has tings weakened the backfleld when they entered military service, nnd Coach Warner bus a difficult Job on his hands In develop ing men to fill tho vacancies. If Pitt again takes It placo In the front rank this year, all credit should go to Glenn Warner, for It Is up to him to put the team In the run ning. It will be an Individual triumph, for at present the odds are against him. Field General Needed There was something missing in the Pitt team last Saturday and for one half I was unable to discover it. The p'.ays did not seem to run off smoothly and the old ag gressiveness was absent. Two touchdowns wero made, but they were due entirely to the individual work of McLaren nnd Easter day on line plunges. Tho Interference was not so effcctlvo ns last year and the man with the ball was given little protection. The team acted like a rudderless ship cruis ing aimlessly around with no apparent des tination In view. After the second half began, the mystery wns solved. Tho team lncks n field gen eral a man to give signals and run, tho team properly. Carlson Is a good captain, but he Is kept busy at end and has little chance to direct tho plays. Errors in Judg ment wero frequent, such as calling for a lino plunge on the third down, with 15 yards to gain,, when a punt or an end run should havo been used. Also the players seemed P iaue up from the f IslslH ..

Choice of fftbrlo pattsre. V W. MAXWELL to have no confidence. In the plays called by the quarterback and changed them on numerous occasions. Foxey Miller first was used and was substituted by McClelland. Pltler went In at the end and ran the team much better than his predecessors. But none showed much class and It looks as If a field general must be developed In a hurry or Pitt will havo a hard tlmo this year. There also Is a weakness In the punting department. Sles, the big guard, booted, the ball well, but cnitstdo of that ho vir- tually was useless. When ho went back n punt formation, tho opponents knew he was going to kick, as he couldn't run with the ball nnd his forward passing ability still is unknown. In modern football, a punter must be d. combination man. In other words, he must be able to run around the end, forward pass and kick, thus keep ing tho opponents In doubt until the play gets under way. Mahnn, of Harvard, was one of the best combination men foctball lias even seen, for he kept tho other side guessing all tho time. Perhaps Sles wilt develop Into a good man as he has the speed, weight and is a strong runner, once he gets under way. But he is a better guard, nnd with Peck absent, it seems best to keep him In the line to help Stahl, the new center. Bailey Plays Well ' Stahl, by the way, had his hands full with Bailey, the West Virginia center and captain, Bailey played a wonderful game nnd showed up his rival In many respects. Stahl showed his Inexperience, but he Is n rangy youth and should develop with hard work. The guards. Sutherland nnd Sles, played well, but the tackles, Htlty and SIcdel. were not very conspicuous. HUty was paired against Hertick, a freshman, and the West Virginia youngster played a great game. He stopped everything di rected ngalnst hlin and In the last period sifted through the line and blocked a kick which resulted In n touchdown. Brooks at left end handled Harrington and Heavener took care of Carlson. It was a pretty even thing all the way through, which shows that West Virginia has a team which must bo reckoned with this year, Itogers, the glunt fullback, who played such a sensational game against Penn for two years, was the bright shining light of his team and performed well. He almost got away for a touchdown on two occa. slons, but his Interference was poor. King punted well and his nil-round play was ex cellent. Lewis ran tho team well from quarterback and used excellent judgment. McLaren Stars McLaren's lino plunging was the feature of the afternoon nnd thero Is no doubt but that the Pitt fullback will be one of the stars of the East this year. He hits the) lino hard nnd has the ability to keep his feet, which allows him to squirm a few yards further after being tackled. Gougler also played a good game. When a baseball team wins the cham p.onsh'p It usually slumps tho next season. This also Is true In football. The players 011 the Pitt team are conscious of the fact that they went through the season without a defeat and arc trying hard to repeat this year. This Is not so apparent In tho older men, but the newcomers show it in every move. For example. Stahl realizes that ho Is taking the place of Bob Peck, one of. the greatest centers in the game; Harrington Is replacing Pat Herron and Gougler and Eas terday are filling the shoes vacated by De Hart and Hastings. These players evidently are worrying about their positions and try ing to live up to tho standard set by the departed stars. As a result, their game will suffer until they realize that they can only ,do the best they can. nnd If that isn't good enough, n change must be made It also might he possible that the player..' have too much confidence in themselves and imagine the.v aro unbeatable. If such is the case, they m'ght as well get that thought out of their heads, for a big Improvement must be shown before the game with Penn endln r there,wln bo a bitter Earned One Touchdown Pitt earned the only touchdown Saturday when McLaren pushed the ball over In the second period. The score came afte?
