CHARLES COMISKEY, the jjonlal nnd
champion White Sox team, advocate
Efted Cross contributor, opponent of Ban
lespect of tho bombastic Ban, will not
p .elftsslq which Is scheduled to open at the South Side grounds in Chicago tomorrow,
according to advance Information about tho beating capacity of the park and tho
prices of admission, "When Comiskey nnd Ban Johnson nnnounccd u year ago
"that If the White Sox won tho fans would have a chance to see tho classic for
"four bits," there were many who doubted and very much questioned the sln-
j.eeflty of tho remarks. Now wo have Genial Charley adhering to his promise, with
t i ;o outcry or protest from Byron B. Ilutnftcr we have glanced, over and studied
the prices at the White Sox park and Its seating capacity wo And that tho White
Box stands will -take In more money with their smaller seating capacity than tho
Polo Grounds, which can seat nt least 7000 more, and tho New York mamigcment
fflll have no fifty-cent ball. It Is mighty philanthropic and charitable on tho part of
Gental Charley to lower the prices, but wo can't Just see where ho la going to
lose, by tho move.
Comiskey Park has a seating capacity of 32.000. The entire grand stand will
fee) reserved, and this means 17,000 seats. There are approximately 15,000 pavilion
s and bleacher seats. These tickets will bo sold only at the park nnd only ono to
K ach person, for in this manner tho magnates hope to outgeneral the scalpers.
"Of the 17,000 reserved grand stand seats, 11,000 will be box scats and each will
Siring 5 per. Against this number tho I'olo Grounds will have only 1000 box
ieats. The additional .boxes nt Comlskey's park nro being built out in front of
the grand stand. They aro not makeshift, wooden affairs such as bi ought criticism
' to the Brooklyn club last year, for they ale being built for permanency of steel
t aind concrete.
Now we understand that there will be plenty of standing room at Comiskey
fcark and that tho White Sox management expects to take euro of at least 10,000
more on the field, bringing the capacity of tho field to 42,000. Hero Is what we
figure will be taken in at Comiskey Park with tho grounds taxed to capacity, and
,. "there is no question about that, according to the piesent demand: Woven thou
sand box seats at $5 each, $55,000; C00O grand stand seats at $3 each, $18,000;
V 10.000 pavilion seats at $1.50 each. $15,000; 10.000 standing on Ileld at $1 each,
J10.000; 5000 at fifty cents each, $2500. Total, $30,500.
' qiHB best record for a world series game was made In the fourth game
. J-of the Red Sox-Brooklyn series at Braves Field last fall, when 42.C20
. 'paid admissions brought In $83,873. According to the present dope, tho
White Sox will shatter this record with much to spare.
Giants, Should Also Break Record for Receipts
OFTEN have we read where more than 40,000 witnessed the big games during
the season at the Polo Grounds, but this year the management of Jhe Giants
Sloes not Intend to allow any standing room on tho Held and tho sale of unreserved
grand stand seats will cease when all tho seats aro occupied. One day last summer
the Giants packed the park and 3000 stood in the promenades, but the30 passages
will be kept clear next week. A capacity crowd nt tho Polo Grounds will run
Close to 39,000. Against Comlskey's 11,000 $5 box seats the Giants will dlsposo of
8000 upper pavilion seats at $3 per. Seventeen thousand lower grand stand seats
villi bring $2 per. or $34,000; S00O will bring $1.50 each, or $12,000. and tho lemaln
, Intr 6000 will command $1 each, or $5000. This brings the receipts for a capacity
leathering at the Polo Grounds up to $80,000. At the fourth game of tho Red Sox
Giants series at the Polo Grounds in 1912. 30,502 were present and parted with
$76,644.
Tho 1912 series is the record holder for receipts for the entire series, when
Jhe classic went to eight games and $490,833 was taken In. The 1915 nnd 1910
championship events, which were won by the Red Sox, were decided nt the end
of five games. No predictions have been made for the present scries, but if It
goes only six games on the basis of our figures the coming classic will better the
1912 receipts by $20,000. With the White Sox capable of bringing in $90,000 per
came and the Giants $80,000, that will be
six games it would total $510,000. If the scries goes only six games It will be
necessary for 243,000 fans to contribute to make our figures stand. The eight
games In the 1912 classic attracted 252,037. So if the 1917 series should happen
to go to seven games all records for total receipts and attendance will bo shat-
. " tered. Figures don't He, and we have the figures.
.
IN THE 1915 series between tho Red Sox and the Phils 143,351 con
tributed $320,361.50, nnd last year In five games between the Dodgers
and Red Sox 162,859 witnessed the games and the receipts totaled
$385,590.50. The first five games of this year's series should attract 204,000
and the receipts would total $425,000 If our figures only stand.
"" Bad Move to Allow Huggins to Quit Cards
TTTILD BILL. DONOVAN'S Job as manager of the Yankees is said to be slipping
,V V fast away from him. Also, Stiller Huggins, brainy little leader of the St. Louis
Cardinals, is said to have been considered In his place. No semblance of truth
can be attached to the rumors, even for the indefinite statement accredited to
Huggins, saying he has received "some kind" of an offer to take charge of the
New. York club. Colonel Jacob Ruppert has stated once that he will not dismiss
Donovan, but sinco that time the Yankees have been going from bad to worse.
He may change his mind. The owners of tho Cardinals could hardly do anything
worse than to allow Huggins to slip awny from leadership of the Cardinals. The
little leader Is making noises like a pennant winner, and If given time may put
some baseball prestige into St. Louis that will make of that city the same good
old baseball town that other cities have been made by pennant winners.
If Colonel Ruppert wants Huggins he probably would bid high and the money
Wight look pretty fine, but the money would never salve tlie feelings of those
grounded St Loulsans If they were to see their baseball hope sliding out the back
door in the person of Miller Huggins. Sinco Mrs. Helen Hathaway Brltton
chucked up the Job of trying to run a baseball club Huggins has been given a
chance to do something with the Cardinals, and he certainly has succeeded. In
St. Louis today there Is a team that will enter Into tho pennant prognostications
this winter. He has a baseball club that has done ltBelf proud. It 13 finishing In
Wi, higher niche than has been St. Louis custom. His men nro young, his pitchers
are demons for. hard, excellent work. They've got to be counted In the race
!(Bxt year.
SO A transfer of Huggins to New York to lead the American League
club would be a bad dose for St. Louis, despite the fact that it would
, undoubtedly be a good move for the Yankees. If Donovan Is to leave, It
looks like a good move for tho Cardinals to insist that the new manager
come from some other place.

The Mcrion Final

CHAITLES EVANS
No course on which the national cham
pionship was played has ever been as test
ing as the ono at Merlon on the day of
the final. When on that last day I stood
on those furthest tees with furthest badt
tee plates, and on those falrgreens with the
second shots to bo played to a little narrow
corner of green In a nest of bunkers, I real
ized that never before had a course been
fo admirably staged for converting sixes
into threes or the exact reverse.
It was a particular bit of good fortune
to start well on such a course, and through
out the morning match .whenever Bob drew
up level with me I was able to draw away
from him.
Bunker Shot Wins Hole
On the eleventh hole, which Is about 360
yards long, Gardner had the honor of
putting a screaming drive straight for the
pin. Then in my turn I never played a
better one, and when ws came to the greet
Mob was lying only eight feet from u.e
cup, and my ball was hole-high In a bunker
just to the right of the green. One up for
my opponent seemed certain. I do not know
how I managed to play the next shot so
well, but I picked it up clean from the
bunker and it landed on the ween with
barely enough spac to hold It, slid went
into the side of the'hole on which Bob had
to putt. My unexpected advent troubled

BERTHELLYN AND SHAWNEE GOLF
TOURNAMENTS WILL, BE FEATURE
OF PLAY ON THE LINKS NEXT WEEK
Big Crowd Will See Red Cross Exhibition Match
at Whitemarsh October 14 Between Barnes,
Loos, Buxton and Maxwell
Hy I'ETEU PUTTER
TWO of the most Important of the fall
i golf tournaments will h" held next week.
The Ilerthcllyn Cup will bo played for at
the Huntingdon Valley Country Club and
will continue thioughoiit the week. Tho
annual fall Invitation tourney of tho Shaw
nee Country Club Is staged for tho last
three days' of the week.
The Herthellyn, next to the women's na
tional championship, Is the most Important
event In the country for the fair sex. The
present holder of It Is Miss Alcxa Stirling,
tho national champion: but. unfoitun.itely,
Miss Stirling Is not plajlng In any tourna
ments this year, and while nho has played
In a number of exhibition matches, she de
cided somo time ago not to cuter any com
petltle tournaments.
Miss Klaine Rosenthal, who won the west
ern women's title In 1915. Is the most pioinl
pent out-of-town entrant, and with Uer will
come Miss Mildred Smith, another promi
nent Chicago player. The committee hoped
to get Mrs. W A Gavin, the metropolitan
champion, to play, but It Is doubtful If sho
will come. None of the Boston women will
play and very few of the metropolitan. But
with two former national champions, the
national runner-up and two former run-ncrs-up
Philadelphia Is able to give an'ex
celletn tournament without the aid of the
outside world. And tho out-of-town women
until last year had not been able to win the
cup.
Mrs Clarence H Vanderbeck, the na
tluiial champion of 1015. should have won
trollable As I walked off the fifth green
I looked Into the face of a friend nnd u
bore the most alarmed expression. I think
that dismayed look brought me to a proper
realization of the fact that my lead of
three holes had disappeared, nnd once again
I was standing shadowed by defeat In an
hour of opportunity.
An unusual feeling came over me as I
watched Gardner's drive on the sixth tee.
and contusion changed to understanding.
I like the length of the sixth hole, and my
Iron second couldn't have been better. With
the clearing of my mind came the bweet
feeling of well-played strokes, and again I
was off In the lead. I noticed, however,
that while In the morning I was driving
as far aB Bob. In tho afternoon I was tired
and my tee shots were short of his. X
superior physique gave him a decided ad
vantage, but I stuck to It.
That Long Put on the Tenth
There Is no doubt that the long putt
I hpled on the tenth for a half In four
meant a great deal to me. but not really
more than the little four-foot putt I holed
on the next green. They were two ex
tremes In putts which coming at that time
were worth more to me than anything else
during that entire match. In all the ie
malnlng holes each shot that I made was
a good one. and I felt suro It would be bo
fore Its execution.
As long as I live I shall never forget
the finish. The fifteenth green at the
Merlon Cricket Club Is slightly raised. And
after I had shaken Bbb's hand, and looked
over that varl-colored sea of people, I
heard the clapi. saw the hats in air, and
finally my mother camo through the crowd
and kissed me. Then I realized that the
greatest happiness that an athlete could
know was mine at last

the end of the ninth hole she was two up

with the apparently safe lead of three holes
things looked very bright for her. Hut Miss

It Is safe to say that never before had any

well as a. mixed foursime In all theie will
be tin re sixteens, with prizes In the win

well as pilzes for tho winners of the beaten

George A. Crump, the man who made Pine
Valley, won the i.econd IllRht, nnd Mrs.
Alice Shoemaker, of the Country Club of
Lansdotvne, tho third flight.
The usual large ciowd of Phlladelphlans
will run up to Shawnee next week for the
fall tournament. The Quaker City players
as a rule do not go In vain, and when' the
affair is oer most of the silverware lepcuea
In the grips of the Phlladelphlans. But this
year there will be no prizes, and In their
stead medals will be awarded, as they were
in the spilng. The amount of money usually
spent for prizes will go to the Ited Cross,
the plajer Indicating the paitlcular aux
iliary he prefers.
There Is no more charming place In the
fall of the year than Shawnee. Needle,
to say. the course will 'be In the pink ur
condition and the field should be laige und
repre.sentatlc Last year Noiman Max
well won the event. lie may go up nguln.
but owing to the fact that he Is playing
at Whitemarsh on Sunday, October 14 the
day after tho Shawnee tournament ends, ho
may decide not to play.
All Out for the Big Match
It looks as If all tho -world and his
wlfo will be at Whitemarsh a week from
Sunday. The fact that the proceeds of tho
match through tags sold to the gallery will
go to the lied Cross, and the presence of
such a fine array of golfing material Is suf
ficient to diaw tho golf lovers there by tho
score Ilarnes and Loos are easily the
top-notchers among the Philadelphia pio
fesslonals and they rank among the best
five professional golfers In the country. Dux
ton and Maxwell easily top the Philadelphia
amateurs, and they can hold their own
against the best amateurs In the country
It has not jet been determined Just how
the amateurs and piofesslonals will be
paired, but there Is every Indication that
It will bo Loos and Ma'xwcll against Barnes
and Buxton. It will not be a match against
youth and age, for l!arnc3 Is still on the
sunny side of thirty, while Buxton is btlll
In his early thirties. Tho details of the
match will be arranged early next week.
The morning match will probably begin at
10 o'clock and the afternoon struggle at
2 o'clock.

of
T HAS been generally agreed In a variety
nuarterii that the Giants and the
While Sox are as closely matched as tho
iinia ,.,,,1 ilm tied Sox of 1012 who
needed eight games to decide supremacy.
But Fate or Destiny may at any given
moment upset the cntho Echeme of things
within minor detail.
The tllants and Ited Sox needed eight
games. Ye.t In the closest sctles cer playrM
how many recall where one or two tildes
might hao overturned the whole arrange
ment? In that 1912 series tho Sox won the nrnt
ganio and tied tho second. In the third
contest Hube Marquard was facing Boston's
hope. The score was 2 to 0 in the ninth,
favoring the Giants, when Duffy Lewis sin
gled nnd Gardner doubled, scoring Lcwir
On Stahl's grounder Gardner was nipped
nt third, but Wagner was safe on an In
field error. Then, with Stahl on third and
Wagner on second and with two out. C.idy
crossed a line drive to light that looked as
safe as a Liberty Bond. Tho odds were
10 to 1 that Josh Devoic would never get
within two strides of the ball.
But by one of t.ioe super-spectacular
catches over his shoulder Josh achieved the
almost Impossible, saving the game.
As Joo Wood and Hugh Bedlent won the
next two games handily, that lone catch
of Devorc's was all that prevented tho Bed
Sox winning In five games with four vic
tories and one draw.
Later on the two clubs proved to be evenly
matched. But If that drive of Cady'a had
can led another six Inches and Boston had
won four games without a New York vic
tory, the verdict would have been that New
York was hopelessly outelawcd.
In a short seiles one play may make a
dlffeiencs of two or three games. Tint bill
Hunt catch of Devore's added thiee gmej to
tho 1912 series and nearly $200,000 to tho
total receipts.
The Thrill of It.
This explains, In a measure, the big lure
of a championship seiles. There Is always
the feeling that any one play may be the
deciding factor. Just as any ono play
may be.
In a clash of this type, where the balance
of power Is so evenly distributed, a lucky
bound, a scratch hit. a wind-blown fly, any
detail, may decide a game that will make
a vast difference In the final result.
The Vital Factor
They will tell you that pitching Is always
the vital factor In a world series.
Not always by any degree. In 1912
Mathew'son pitched three games. The reo
oi ds show that In tho three games he al
lowed one earned run. lit theie three
games tho Glanta rcored nine runs Yet
Mnthewson failed to win a game, becat se
Mathevvson's support contributed eight
costly errors, and each of these cost a run
or more against him.
Where ono club outclasses another Kate
has no chanco to play any leading role
But where two clubs are evenly matched,
the break of the game In a shc-rt series may
turn all calculations upside down.
