STAMPS LACKING; TICKETS UNSOLD Stupidity in Office of Philadel phia Club Brings Disappoint ment to Many Fans Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Oct 9. Some one pulled the prize bone of all world's series ticket distributions. Business Manager Shettsline is authority for the facts. Last Thursday notices were sent out to all those who had been awarded seats telling them of the fact, and in closing a card which, delivered at either the Phillies' ottices or the ball park, could be exchanged for the seats allotted. Through some piece of stupidity, no stamps were put on the envelopes. Naturally, Uncle Sam resented this little failure to comply with the postal laws, and declined to deliver the let ters. Yesterday morning they came back to the Phillies' offices. How many there were nobody knows. One guess put the total as high as 500. Fans for whom the cards were in tended never knew that they had been awarded tickets, and the tickets wait ed uncalled for in the Phillies' offices at a time when the whole city was clamoring for them. Later some one woke up and discov ered the fact. Then the box office was opened and the tickets were put 011 sale. There was no way to get word to thousands all over town who would have been only too glad to take ad vantage of the left-over pasteboards. This is the reason why there were gaps of vacant seats in the pavilion.

FOOTBALL GAMES ARE IMPORTANT Besults of Today's Scholastic Gridiron Battles Awaited With Much Interest The World's series game at Phila delphia to-day, was not the only im portant sporting event. Football en thusiasts found local games of unusual interest and took in the gridiron bat tles. The game at Island Park between Central High and Stevens Trade school of Lancaster promised an in teresting contest. On Academv field, the season opened with a game be tween Harrisburg Academy and En haut High school. This game at tracted much attention because of the new material on the Academy team. Steelton High went up against I.ebanon High at Steelton. This game will be watched closely because of the fact that Tech lost to Lebanon one week ago, score 6 to 0. Steelton has a strong team, mostly new material. Tech went to Easton for a game with the High school eleven of that place. Easton is a stranger to the local eleven and there are some doubts as to a victory for Tech. TWO CHILDREN WOUNDED Penbrook, Pa., Oct. 9.
