Fans Anxious About World's Series Tickets Chicago, Sept. 6.—Details for the World's Series are to be worked out at a special meeting of the National Baseball Commission, to be held in Cincinnati, September 20, President Johnson of the American League, said last night. The spirited race be tween Chicago and Boston for the American League pennant will have been d< finitely enough settled by that time. President Johnson said, to as sure going ahead with the plans. Although Charles A. Comiskey, president of the Chicago club, declines to make any statement claiming the ; American League championship, or-! dcrs for World's Series seats are be- 1 ginning to pour in from middle west | cities. One Chicago enthusiast placed j an order reserving thirty-two box j seats to-day. These orders are being: held up, however, until Chicago is | certain of beating out Boston. There is a strong possibility that the series, if Chicago, is the American! League contender, will start in Chi cago on Saturday, October 6, Presi dent Johnson said. Although the place for playing the first game is decided by the toss of a coin, Presi dent Johnson said the National League j might waive this formality and agree • to start the games in the west, so a Sunday game could be played.

TECH CALL SOON FOR FOOTBALL; STARS IN ARMY With the opening of the Tech foot ball season only three weeks away, the call for candidates for the squad will be made shortly. The first game is booked for the Island with Mount Carmel, September 29. The Maroon team will suffer heavily because of the numerous members of last sea son's team who have graduated. Yet the prospects are bright, because of the talent that still remains in the institution. Manager T. Willis Patterson has gone South with the Quartermasters Corps. while Assistant Manager Moore has also joined the ranks of Uncle Sam. He is a member of Com pany A, of York. With him are Harry Nell and Fred Ramey. Captain Rees Lloyd will be found at the quarterback position, and he should again be a star. "Eggie" Beck will again be at fullback, while "Doughnuts" Wilsbach will fill right halfback. Trying for the other half back position will be Earl Philip pelll. "Bill" Hoerner, "Bud" Lingle and Garrett, a freshman from Camp Curtin grammar school. Wclgie Stin Here Weigle, the speedy dash man, Eb ner and Bell will have the edge on other candidates when it comes to tilling the wing positions. Jim Peifer, "Iron" Brough and Laird Landis are among the promising candidates for the tackle position. "Fat" Lauster, Fred Essig and "Haps" Frank look good at the guard position, while Jerry Frock seems to have the call for the center position. Not much is known of the freshmen candidates, but there are several likely looking rangy lads who look to be of varsity caliber. Rumor has it that "Shorty" Miller may not be able to get a leave of absence from his work during the fall afternoons to coach the aggre- NEW DRAFT RULE IN BIG LEAGUES Commission to Award Players September 20 at Cin cinnati i Cincinnati. Sept. 6.—The National Baseball Commission announced that it will meet at Cincinnati on Septem ber "0 to receive and pass on the se lection of players from minor league clubs by major league clubs. The system of selection from a Class AA club by a Class A club, without specifying the player desired, which has been followed for several years, is discontinued, and a draft which does not contain the name of the player and of the club from which he is selected will receive no consid eiation. Cancellations of drafts will not be allowed after an award has been made unless written notice thereof is served on the secretary of the com mission within twenty-four hours after its allowance. • To Draw Lota When one or more clubs of each major league shall select the same player, and it is determined by lot which cKib shall secure him. he will be awarded to the representative of the successful league if there is but gation. "Creamy" was extremely pop ular with the players, and his services would be missed by the players as well as the student body. Hopes are still entertained that Coach Miller will be available. Games With Central As usual the most important con test on the schedule will be with Central on Thanksgiving. It will be doubly important this year, as there is likely to be an end of the series with the contest after this year be cause of the fact that all the boys of High school age entered Tech this week. At Central there remain the male students of the sophomore, junior and senior classes. They will graduate, but no other boys will be admitted to Central. Because of this fact, both teams are likely to be ex tremely desirous of annexing the final clash. Four new elevens appear on the schedule as arranged by the man ager. Mount Carmel appears here in the initial game, while Altoona High school, after not playing for ten years, will put a team on the gridiron, appearing in a contest here the latter half of the season. Good Schedule Last year Lock Haven claimed championship honors, and gave Tech special inducements to come to that burg. Tech will also go to Wllkes-Barre. The two Steelton games, Greensburg, Easton and Leb anon will round out the schedule. The schedule is as follows: September 30, Mount Carmel, at home; October 6, Lebanon, away; October 13, Easton, away; October 20, Steelton, at home; October 27, Greensburg, at home; November 3, Lock Haven, away; November 10, Altoona, at home; November 17, Steelton, away; November 24, Wilkes-Barre, away; November 29, Central, at home. one such club. If more than one club! of the successful league recorded drafts for the same player, their names will be placed in a hat and he will be awarded to the club whose" name is first drawn therefrom. The second and third choices shall be de termined in the same manner. A major league club whose roster of players on September 20 includes thirty-five or more players—the limit prescribed in the national agreement for American and National League clubs—will not be allowed the privi lege of selection for this season. All drafts not annulled bv proper notice to the secretary of the com mission before midnight of September 20 will be valid and not subject to cancellation. Major Draft Price The draft price paid by major and minor league clubs for the privilege of selecting players in 1917 will be held in escrow and not be transmitted to the club from which the selection! Is made until the player actually en ters the service of the drafting'club. In the event that he enters the war the draft price shall he at once returned to the drafting club on an- I nouncement by it of the cancellation of such selection. The draft money due from major league clubs shall be retained by Secretary Bruce, and that due from minor league clubs shall be In the custody of Secretary Farrell until the interested player reports to the drafting club or his selection is canceled as above provided. I The commission will, impose a se vere penalty on a club or clubs which | become a party to a conspiracy to ; abuse the privileges of selection for i its own advantage or for the benefit of another major league club or a J minor league club. Six-Heat Event Marks Grand Circuit Races j Hartford, Conn., Sept. 6.—Another six-heat race marked the third day's 1 card of the Grand Circuit meeting of Charter Oak Park yesterday. Peter Chenault and Ridgemark traveled that far before Murphy's bay stallion won the 2.07 trot by taking the last heat by a scant head over David Tpdd'a bay gelding. It was the sec ond victory of the afternoon for Tommy Murphy, who flrove Oregan Hal to first money in another split heat event, the 2.09 pace. Koroni had no difficulty in capturing the 2.10 trot in straight heats. Ed Geers. the veteran reinsman started a horse in all three races and finished last in every one. Two of his entries were distanced. Robert Gatewood escaped that ruling because the application of distance was waived In the 2.09 pace. The 2.07 trot was bitterly contested.

Sept. 6.—The pennant hopes of the Phillies were given a severe Jolt at the Polo Grounds yes terday when the Giants won both ends of the first double-header by scores of 3 to 2 and 5 to 1. The Phils will not yet admit it is all over despite the big reverse. Manager Moran says the race will be fought to the very finish. Incidentally, the Phillies have yet to win a game from the Giants here this year. Even more unfortunate than the loss of the two games was the defeat suffered by Charles Albert Ben der. the Chippewa stoic, in the first game. It was undeserved, and it broke the Chief's winning streak after it had attained the proportions of six straight. • However, the Chief has himself to blame for the way things eventuated. It s about time the bold Brave knew better than to taunt an irate ball player. That is just what beat him this afternoon. Ilcnder Goen Wrong For seven innings Bender pitched as prettily as any one could desire. He turned the Giants back with pre cision and was in position to count this victory among his string when the eighth came along, and the Phil lies were leading by i to 0. Burns then doubled to left and Herzog sin gled to center, scoring Burns. This made it one run for the Giants, with Benjamin Kauff, the Fed refugee, at bat. Prior to this setting Kauff had done all in his power to present the Phils with the ball game. His inglorious muff in the fourth produced the first Philadelphia run and twice before lie had been struck out by Bender when there were Giants on third and he had the dhance to win for his pay master. As Kauir shuffled to the plate this time he fully expected to make it three strike-outs in a row, judging by his manner in facing Bender. Here Charles Albert made the mistake ot his life. He served a straight fast ball to Kauff and as the ball was hurtling to the plate Bender was heard to shout to Benny, "Here's a soft one for you to hit." Benny did hit it. The ball never stopped soaring until it struck a post in the wing of the right-field grand stand. It was a home run, sure enough, and Herzog trotted over the plate a few feet ahead of the jubilant Kauff, who was patted and congratu lated by half a dozen ofhis mates as he dented the rubber with the winning run. Ferdie Schupp, the star of McOraw's pitching barn, pitched the first seven innings of this game, but the credit for the victory went to Fred Ander son, who pitched the last two innings and held the Phillies in check. Harrisburg Monarchs Win in Game With Stars Harrisburg Monarclis evened up with the Big Stars, winning by a score of 11 to 9. Both teams hit the ball, but those of the Monarchs were more effective.

One year, with Philadelphia, Nap Lajole and Ed Delehanty, linked side by Bide, iveraged .370. * Cobb and Crawford, in the 1911 campaign, totalled .351. Collins and Baker, hooked together in the batting order, ran up to .350. Lajoie and Jackson, working with Cleveland, reached .345. Cobb no longer has a Crawford. Tyrus still rips along, but Veach, well down the list, isn't a Crawford of the old days. Sisler has no mate to keep him company. Speaker and Chapman have select figures, but they are fur below the old mark. The Collins-Jackson combination with the White Sox is under .280. The Giants with Zimmerman an,d KaufT are around .300, while the Reds Roush and Griffith are over this mark. But there are no Cobb-Crawford, Lajoie-Jackson, Collins-Baker arrays from the old days left. Some of the slugging combinations have been scattefed and broken up, and others have quit slugging. Three or four years ago, a Collins-Jackson combination would have given the best pitchers in the country a series of cold and clammy chills up and down the spine. Even as late as last season they were around .320, but the 1917 drop has been far and fast. Baker isn't smashing up to the old mark, and if he was there would be no one in the Yank corral to keep him company. These combinations used to ,be one of the big features of the year, there was always a thrill when two great hitters came up in order —one to crack a double and the other to drive him home. To-day, the few slugging stars are working almost alone. They no longer travel in nerve-wrecking pairs. BASEBALL POIJM High Guy? Why, Ty! "Mightn't one say," inquires L. L.

PING RETURNS It is always a distinct pleasure to note the return home of a distinguished son. who. for the time being, has been away to distant parts. We say "return home," because Mr. Bodie's place was in the Big League. He went visiting for a year out West, but the Buster in baseball doesn't belong in the minors. ' When the Sox canned the redoubtable Ping, the rail birds voted him down and out. They said he had finished his time under the Main Tent. Now Ping returns, and returns with a tail-end club, where ambition isn't any too high. But not even tail-ending cati curb Ping's lusty ambition to bust the ball. He comes back among the .300 people, leading such Sons of Swat as Joe Jackson, Eddie Collins, Frank Baker, Stuffy Mclnnis, Duffy Lewis, Hap Felsch and many other!; known in the Archives of Slug. So Ping is back to stay a spell. He has hammered his way home with the Big Mace. He has shattered his way through with the bludgeon. He is over .300 now, and he is going to stay there. He belongs. "Willard to meet winner of big fight." Does this mean that Jess is on the verge of grappling with the Allies? "American army a Joke." Berlin dispatch. So was Corbett when, he met Sullivan. So was Fitz when he tackled Corbett; so was Jeffries when he faced Fitzsimmons; so was Willard when he bumped into Johnson. A few days ago we came up from the South in a crowded Pullman smoker. A hot discussion was raging just outside of Columbus. The war? Not a word. The three prevailing phrases or words were "White Sox," "Red Sox" and "Giants."

With the belief that Company I will get away from this city Mon day efforts are being made to have one more same of baseball. New port, champions of the Dauphin- Perry League, want to have the sol diers play at Newport Saturday. It is probable a game will be arrang ed. Local fans are clamoring for a game between the West End A. A. and Steelton. Ilarrisburg enthusiasts would like to sec Steelton play in this city. This ought to prove a big paying attraction for Saturday. Red Crane is still doing his bit with Minneapolis. The other day in a double-header with Kansas City. "Red" had three hits and fielded a fast clip. He may not be a big star with the stick, but is a big factor in victories. Paul Smith will again coach the Central High eleven. It will be the last season for a team from that school according to present indica tions. The first call for candidates will come Monday.

Johnny Tillman, formerly of Min neapolis, but now of Philadelphia, surprised the fans at Shibe Park last night by outpointing Charley White, of Chicago, in six rounds. Tillman showed so much superiority in the early part of the bout that he al most had White out in the second round. Tillman used a left jab, and then a right and left to face and stom ach in this session, which had White worried, for the latter began to hold onto his opponent and appeared to be in distress, but as Tillman's Judg ment of distance was faulty. White finished the round by holding on and using the ropes at every opportunity. CORN BOAST AT ROCKY SPRINGS Marysville, Pa., Sept. 6.—Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Geib and Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
