Weaver watched the gallop from tho hassock and as lied nenred tho bag he finished with a beautiful hook slide. He stole a baso which already was occupied, and you can't beat that concreto work In a world series, Hcn Zlm'H Impersonation of Paul ltevere's ride on Monday suffers in comparison. It really vas the biggest bone of the series, but becauso it counted for nothing tho Dunns passed It by with only u gust of'meiry ' There wero other bones pulled In , mention. Benny Kuuff was guilty, John ertson assisted and McGraw blundered wor.se than any of the others. Taking it by and large. It was a tcrrlblo exhibition of baicball from start to finish, and bad H been staged at any time during the season the teams would havo been run off tho field. . . , TDUT It was a glorious victory for Charles A. Comlskey, one of the greatest figures In baseball today. Tho Old Roman descnes all of the luck he can get, for ho tried hard for tho championship. Ho treated his players royally and the scribes .were. his guests from the start. Just to show how popular he is, the Chicago City Council halted n stormy session ft and tendered his team a vote of thanks when the result of the sjixth game i was flashed across the wires. j ; New System Needed to Dispose of World Series Tickets TTIVERY year when preparations arc being made to handle tho crowds at tho ,g fall classic the ticket problem comes up and tho annual scandal makes Its appearance. Applications for reserved seats swamp tho offices of tho ball clubs 1 and the demand Is four and live times as great as the supply. Of course, titer are thousands of dissatisfied fans, and when they are forced to pay exorbitant prices to the scalpers they feel as If they had been Imposed upon. Patrons of the bleacher section stay up nil night In order to see the game, and thousands J of theso loso out. But these conditions exist In the llrst two opening games In one city and the 1 ilrst game In the other. After that Interest lags," tho novelty has worn off , and the fans do not caro whether they see the combat or not. Take New York J for nn example. On tho first day, which was last Wednesday, the reserved seats were occupied, but there were many vacant seats In the bleachers. On the second flay, despite the victory of the Giants, It was worse than that. At least 8000 empty seats in the one and two dollar sections greeted tho players when the " battle began and the lecelpts fell off amazingly. In Chicago last Saturday moro than 5000 vacancies were In the fifty-cent bleachers and the dollar pavilion, but this probably was due to the cold weather and tho snow storm on tho previous ttay. Tho chances are, however, that the. attendance would havo dropped off , J anyway, 'and this suggests a new plan to handle tho crowds. C r Instead of reserving only a limited number of seats, why not icserve every- Vi-il-tWas. except the bleachers? In that way about 10,000 more tickets will bo put on sale and the bleacher fans will get lu Just ,the same. Then, as the series pro- cresses there will be no empty seats. If this seems to be too drastic, it might fee a good play to sell only two reserved tickets at one tjme and allow the fans to subscribe for the additional scats at the other games. In that way every ono ,- 'would be satisfied. . . . . v t rpHE White Sox made It unanimous yesterday when they walloped the " -"-Giants In tho seventh game at MIncola. It was an exhibition for the soldiers, but the men from Chicago showed their superiority ecn In Jest. , i , This Is the last game of the year so far as tho champions are concerned, ''.as the National' Commission ruled that exhibition combats are barred. '-The White Sox" were to have played Upland next Saturday, but this has v been called off. - Speaking of Managers, Consider Jack Hendricks WHEN John J. McGraw left tho old Baltimore OrJoIes and went to New York to manage tho Giants the baseball world took considerable notice. McGraw went to the Polo Grounds, found a lot of alleged ball players and Immediately 3 f canned seventeen of them. Ono of the seventeen was an outfielder who answered to the name of Hendricks, nnd ever since McGraw pointed out the New York . exists to him he has been a mlnortleaguer, but most of the time a manager-yone of ihVmost successful in the history of baseball. Hendricks Is running the In dianapolis American Association club now for Jimmy McGIll. McGlll has been Twining In easy stages from Class B baseball right to the Double A kind, and , , i every1 time a big league club looks like It Is going to be put on tho market Jim Wplcked as a likely buyer. ' i McGIll got his first taste of baseball in Springfield, O., In the Central League. He bought the Denver Western League club next and Hendricks became his manager. Hendricks made such a hit of winning pennants In the Western League that he almc&t discouraged every other manager th'ert-. lie won Just as fast as tho seasons came around until McGlll bought thd Indianapolis fran chise and took Hendricks along to higher company. Hendricks and McGlll stuck their heads' Into a peck of trouble their first ear In Indianapolis, for the Indianapolis Federal League club was busy winning a pennant and supplied some regular opposition for the gate. The next year, with out the Feds, they did a little better, and then came .the present year. Jack got back fntq the habit of pennant winning. They gave him a battlo out In the American Association, but ho won his pennant, and he did It without a .300 hitter ' ori his club. ' ... SOME day Jim McGlll will buy a big leagueclub and Jack Hendricks will be Its manager. It's written In the stars. McGlll now Is negotiating with Dreyfuss to buy the Pittsburgh club.

It, was fctated at the Treasury, which um pires the payment of taxes, that the world series purses should be deducted from the amounts taxable as gifts which are de ductible under the law, but the officials couldn't see It that way, explaining that the ball players worked for the money and that therefore It was Income.

McAndrcws was knocked colder than any of Leonnrd's other victims here: Kdrlle was ns dead as tho proverbial doornail; he didn't move a toe while Lew Durlacker tolled the doleful ten. All the promoters then becamo as tight as tho Ancient Order of Misers when Mc Andrcws breezed around ; they wouldn't lend Kddle their ears l'.d isn't much of a Cattell at speech making. But ho memor ized the line, "I wanna light Leonard ngaln, 1 wanna fight Leonard again !" and he knew this line real well. . It has got him noth ing so far, and maybe his pleadings for an other bout with Benny will go In vain for all time, yet It now appears as though he has half a chance of hooking up with Leon ard again. Via Tillman McAndrew's one chance In two of min ing Leonard some tlmo In the future re mains In the possibility of a victory over Johnny Tillman. Muggsy Taylor offered Leonard $2500 to box Tillman In Phllly, hut Hilly Gibson shook his head, not that ho was afraid of tho Bohemian, but for somo reason unknown to Muggs and best known tl himself But Gibson wasn't a bad fellow altogether. He said that the season still was oung. and It would be only a short tlmo before he would consent to another Tillman-Leoimrd bout. Now that Is precisely where McAndrews comes Into the breach nnd makes himself conspicuous. McAndrews Is to box Till man at the National Club Saturday night. If Iiddle wins from Johnny. It would be un reasonable to go through with Tillman meeting Leonard nnd keeping the Mana yunk lad out in tho cold. In other Words, tho Tlllman-McAndrews match will bo a battlo for another battle, tho winner to box Leonard. The Leonard Knockout Until Leonard delivered his well-known and asphyxiating wallop, McAndrews wasn't making tho worst light In the world. Ho was tagging along nicely and strongly not far behind Benny Just after lie had got his second wind, zowle! went the ci usher and, Hop! L'ddle crashed to the floor. Tho Btuff as all off for that night. Other nights, came, but Kddle hoped In ain for a come-back at Leonard. Other nights are coming and Kddle Is hopefully hoping that ho be granted another pleasure of punching with Leonard. Tillman, too, has boxed Leonard. They opposed each other twice, and the Mlnnea polltan was on his feet at the finish of both fracases ; he wasn't off his f&et at any time during tho two different elghteen-mlnute sessions. .It would be foolhardy to say that either McAndrews or Tillman could defeat Leonard, yet who else around this vicinity stands out for a bout with the champion? Who? tomes back the echo, even louder. No Lightweights Here When a fellow like Leonard goes along and Just naturally keeps knocking his oppo nents fore and aft, like a lot of tenpins. why, he's got to run out of competition sooner or later. Barring the possible excep tion of Tillman and McAndrews, who really are welterweights, there Isn't a lightweight hare for 'Benny to box. The tltleholder's next bout Is with Jack Britton In New York Friday night; then on Monday he will come here for a supposed boxing match with Kddle Wagond. The latter contest will be no sporting spectacle by any means. divvy on the series purse will be hit by Uncle Sam's tax collector as follows: Two p:r cent on $1000, $20 tax. Four per cent on til, COO, $464 tax. Six per cent on $7600. $456 tax. Total annual tax, $967 A. M. B. Now Has Soccer Team The A. M- II.

SN I 1" i , : - THU moguls of tho Eastern Basketball League were handed a rude Jar last eve ning when during the midst of n discussion on the schedulo for the season Joseph L. Dalley, manager of the champion Greys, an nounced that there would be no moro pro fessional basketball contests at Cooper Bat talion Hall. BaJliy explained the situation and said it was duo to tho fact that tho entire ar mory Is now occupied as headquarters of the Ship and Tent Club, an organization which caters to the wants of enlisted men In the senico of Uncle Sam. it was said that a new owner would likely be secured, his identity not being disclosed at present. If he nccepts, however, tho name of Grey stock will likely be retained and the club retain Its Identity. Bailey has known for a long time thnt the hall would be unavail able, and announced In these columns three weeks ago that tho franchise was for sals The league has called a meeting for next Monday evening, when the new owner will attend, and If not the franchise will bo awarded elsewhere. Rule Is Changed At a recent powwow the moguls Jammed through a rule bnrrlng any player who evtr played In n professional league, and on reconsideration It was amended to read "that any player of the Kastcrn, Pennsyl vania, State, Interstate or Intercouuty Leagues participating In more than ten games shall not be eligible." Whether a team should be restricted to three professionals was again debated, and It was decided to make three the limit, even In case of accidents. Tho disposition ot bench men such as Frost, Hargrcaves, Cashman, McGregor, Haney, Creeley, Wil son and the llko waa discussed. Manager Kennedy, of Jasper, said It was a crime to legislate these fellows out of a livelihood. The Kensington pilot wanted a. compromise and offered a proposition whereby each team would bo nllowed tho services of one of these veterans, who could not necessarily be classed a regular, Jasper and Grey stock alone favored tho motion, and It met defeat. There has been virtually a halt made In the drafting of the schedule until the dis position of the Grey stock franchise. The last business transacted was the election of a vice president In S. O. Grauley, who has long been Identified with the game as owner of the North Phillies and De Nerl. His selection was unanimous and should strengthen the league. Manager Kuser announced the release of Andy Scars and De Nerl reported that Joe Dreyfuss would return. Charley O'Donnell Retires Tho fans of the Eastern League will miss the familiar figure of Charley O'Donnell this season. The big Heading forward was regarded as the brainiest player In the game. Each season he has announced his retirement and has always been lured back, and even at that he may participate In n few games yet. When Andy Sears was sold to Trenton last season this pair severed an association of nlmost ten years' continuous service. It was Sears who brought Charley to the Central League years ago, when McKees port was In need of a captain and fbrwnrd, and while O'Donnell was suggested to Man ager Foster by Andy a3 the proper man to captain his club, Charley never acted In tho capacity, but Insisted that old tow-head run tho team on the floor. O'Donnell was a member of David Williams's famous The Franklin Town Car Truly a Car of Utility At Home on Country Roads aa Well as City Streets , The Franklin Town Car Fjor Year 'Round Service TRANKLIN Cars are now being built at a rate of three times A as many as a year ago and the demand continues to exceed production.
