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.

McANDREWS AFTER LEONARD BOUT;
TILLMAN IS, TOO; SO THEY WILL MEET
FOR CHANCE TO FACE THE CHAMP
One-Sided Matches Not a Sporting Treat and,
With No Lightweights Here for Benny, He
Must Go After the Welters
By LOUIS
EDDIi: MeANDItUWS was. knocked out
In less than flvo rounds one September
night a year ago, since which memorial oc
casion Sir Kdwarrt has hankered, clamored,
pleaded and begged for another chance at
tho New York man el, even more so since,
tho latter dispossessed Fred Welsh as light
weight champ. 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.

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
