FANS IN GRAND FIGHT FOR SEATS Demand for Reserved Chairs and Boxes for World’s Series Far Exceeds the Supply. 40,000 ATTENDANCE EXPECTED Hundreds Wait In Line Hours for Bleachers Which Were Put On Sale This Morning. BOSTONIANS USE MEGAPHONES Tryto Compete in Noise Making With Thousands of Leather Lunged New Yorkers. (By United Press.) New York, Oct. 8.—Flash.— Neither side-scored in the first two innings of play. (By United Press.) New York, Oct. 8.—Press box at Polo Grounds.—Under a cloudless sky and a brilliant sun, “Play ball” was called promptly at 2 o’clock this afternoon for the first of the World's Series between the New York Giants -and the Boston Red Sox. At 1:53 Mayor Gaymor, clad in rakish Norfolk gray coat and Mayor Fitzgerald, of Boston, under decorous top hat were escorted on the field by 2 squad of police. Fitzgerald :sprinted across the field to join the crimson bedecked home rooting squad. Batteries were announced of Tes- reau and Meyers for New York and Wood and Cady by Boston. The selection of Wood by Jake Stahl caused McGraw to put Becker in left. field with Snodgrass in center. The Boston lineup was regular with the exception of Cady who has done little catching for the Sox except when Wood is pitching. Qady is a big heavy man and ‘handles Wood's speed with ease. New York, October 8.—As was ex- pected. the demand for reserved seats and boxes in the upper stands for the opening game of the world's ser- ies this afternoon at the Polo Grounds more than equalled the supply. The allotment of reserved seats was exhausted in two hours and would have been exhausted soner if the ticket sellers could have handled the crowd faster. Twice as many people in line fail- ed to get tickets as succeeded in ob- taining them. The unprecedented demand for re- served seats lead officials of the clubs to predict today that the total at- tendance this afternoon will exceed 40,000. The bleacher seats, unreserved. were put on sale at 9 o’'clock this morning. Hundreds of frenzied fans had been waiting for hours for that moment. Scores of the seasoned ~fan-atics” who were unwiling to take a posible chance of being crowd- ed out of line, made their beds last night in the run-aways leading to| the ticket boths. Many were up at daylight. Hours before the window-slides were open- ed the sleepy-headed enthusiasts formed a crooked and grotesque wait- ing line, nearly a block in length, leading away from the ticket win- dows, lazily lounging against a chance suport or against each other for one last wink of sleep before the clock tolled the hour that would send an electric current through the slumbering throng. That the capacity of the park would be taxed was assured long be- fore the hour set for the game to be- gin. Three hundred Boston rooters, trained like college football enthus- iasts, will be a feature of the game. They succeeded in obtaining seats in a block, after almost overturning the general government. The rooters’ leader wired to Heyd- ler asking for a group of seats. Heydler said nothing could be done. President McAleer of the Red Sox was asked to imtercede. He did, without avail. Ban Johnson was urged to lend a hand. He failed to obtain results. Then Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, came to the rescue. He let it be known that if the tickets to the game in New York were not forthcoming and lumped in a bunch for the Bos- VOLUME 10. NUMBER 139. JOHN. W.

The Boston club members arrived in New York last evening in time for dinner. All of the men, with the exception of Gardner, were in good condition. Gardner will play and anticipates little trouble from his in- Jjured finger. LAKED IRVINE HOUSE CLOSED.

Starkweather, head of the women and children’s department of the atate:labor:bureau and promiment club’ womar and charity- worker of the Twin Cities, died in the Union depot at St.. Paul early Monday fol- lowing an attack of heart disease. Mrs. Starkweather was fifty-five years old and lived at 625 Grand avenue, St. Paul. Mrs. Starkweather was preparing to leave on a midnight train for Madison, Wis., where she was sched- uled to make an address before the Federated Women’s clubs at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. She was ac- companied to the depot by her hus- band iPerry Starkweather. While walking beside him on her way through the depot to the train Mrs. Starkweather sudenly collapsed into her husband’s arms. She was assisted into a waiting room, where she died thirty minutes later. Until- two years ago Mrs. Stark- weather was a resident of Minneapo- lis. She was noted for her charit- able work, particularly as it benefit- ed women and children. She was a leader in various club movements and had achieved success in no small de- gree in the literary world. She was instrumental in having tuc legislature pass the law which created the woman’s department of the state labor bureau, and was ap- pointed its head by Governor Eber- hart. Prior to that time Mrs. Stark- weather had devoted a greater por- tion of her time to doing charitable acts and in woman’s welfare work. Mrs. Starkweather recently had given a number of lectures upon the welfare of women and the child labor question, in both of which she was vitally interested, and had but re- cently returned from Kamnsas City, where she spoke before the Woman’s club. According to intimate friends, Mrs. Starkweather had been warned by physicians to cease her strenuous ac- tivities.
