WORLD'S SERES TICKET SQUABBLE IS ON-TROUBLE FOR COMMISSIONERS
TICKET FIGHT ON;
LANNIN IS SORE
Philadelphia Club President
Refuses Demands of Roston
. Rooters For Special Seats
Boston, Oct. 2.—"Boston fans must
receive the customary allotment of
visiting world's series tickets from the
Phillies, or there will be no world's
series."
Such, in substance was the ultima
tum voiced by President Joseph J.
Lannin, of the Red Sox.
The trouble started yesterday when.
In a somewhat stormy discussion be
tween the president of the t'.vo major
league champions, Presider t Baker
said that he could not reserve for Bos
ton rooiers the bleacher seats usually
set aside for visiting fans in world's
series contests, and offered to the lat
ter only the highest priced box seats
Instead. President Lannin said:
"Fandoin is bigger than the tPhila
delphia National League president, and
is bigger than the national commis
sion. Without the fans there could be
be no baseball. Boston fans are the
most loyal and the fairest-minded of
any in the country. They have sup
ported the Red Sox and the Braves this
year and in past years as no similar
teams have been supported, and I
don't propose that Boston fans shall
be discriminated against.
"In every world's series in which a
Boston team has engaged, the man
agement of the rival club has allotted
Boston fans a section of bleacher or
grandstand sfeats.
"I shall place my case before the
national commission, and either it
shall insist on President Baker allott
in the regulation number of Philadel
phia seats, or shall allow me that num
ber from the 1200 or 1500 which go to
the commissioners, or the Boston team
will not take part in the world's se
ries."
•resident Baker's View
Pri: lent Baker, of the Phillies, ad
mitted there had been a misunder
standing with President Lannin re
garding the 600 seats for the Royal
Rooteis of Boston. Mr. Baker said:
"Mr. Lannin requested 600 seats for
the Royal Rooters and I refused to let
him have them; that is all there is to
it. He threatened to take the matter
up with the National Commission and
I told him to go ahead. As I told Mr.
Lannin, I cannot see where the Boston
club should be given 600 seats when
the rules governing the world's series
allow only 200. I went so far as to
offer Mr. Lannin a compromise on the I
number and said I was willing to give
him more than the conditions govern
ing the series allowed him, but I do
not intend to rob 300 Philadelphians of
a chance to see the series by giving 600
seats to the Royal Rooters of Boston."

Chief Bender Brings
Suit Against Federals
"Chief" Charles ,A. Bender has
brought suit against the Exposition
Park Association, a Delaware cor
poration for the recovery of a certain
sum of money which he claims was
promised to him, but which he never
received. The suit was filed with the
sheriff of Allegheny county, who sent
it on to Sheriff H. C. Wells, of Dauphin
county, the only one who is able to
ir.ake the service on the Secretary of
the Commonwealth. The suit is a
foreign attachment and is entered as
a "plea in assumpsit," with Bender as
the plaintiff.
The "Chief" has really sued the
Federal League, which is incorporated
under the laws of the State of In
diana, but it must be tiled in the name
ol' the Exposition Park Association,
which is the only association registered
in the State Department at the Cap
itol. This association ontrcols like
wise the Chicago Federal Club and
the Buffalo Federal League Club, and
they are attaching through the State
Department the money which Bender
claims they owe him.
Bender was formerly the mainstay
on the pitching staff of the Athletics,
and was later with the Baltimore club
of the Federal League. He started his
career with the Harrisburg club of
1902, and last Friday had his team of
all-star New York State Leaguers here
to play the Harrisburg ail-Interna
tionals.

taken care of, the coach will spend his
time in setting the line and back field
