Boston, Oct. 4.—Distribution of re- serveq seat tickets for the world’s se- ries baseball games in this city be- tween the Brooklyn Nationals and the Boston Americans which will open on Saturday, began today. Hach of the 27,000 seats available for reserva- tio was covered by applications, offi- cials of the local club said. Almost immediately after the receipt by mail this morning of the notices of allotments several applicants appeared at the club box offices at Fenway Park. Ticket distribution prior to the date of the opening game will be made irom there, although the games will be played at Braves Field, the grounds of the local National League club. To prevent the congestion which in- terfered with traffic in the vicinity of Braves Field last year, new arrange- ments by the police and club officials were made today. Sale of admission seats at $1 and at 50 cents each will be made from offices on the side of the grounds opposite the grandstand entrances, thus obviating the crush which kept many holders of reserved seats from the games last year. These new gates will be opened at 9 o’clock in the morning of the games, purchas- ers of -ickets must move into the grounds at once, and the gates will be closed as soon as the 15,000 rush seats are filled, according to the plan. Frenzy of Work at Boston. To make these arrangements at such an early date, and to make pos- sible the playing of the opening game Lere while the Brooklyn park is being placed in readiness for its first world series the Boston club has had men at work day and night for more than a week. Secretary Edwin Riley col- lapsed under the strain and his physi- cian said today that he would be un- able to see the team in action in the big games. Assurance that the Red Sox will be cheered on the foreign field by organ- ized local supporters, as the local world series contenders have been for years, was given today by John M. Killeen, leader of the Royal Rooters. He reported that President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club had promised an adequate supply of tickets for the Bos- ton party which will follow the for- tunes of the team throughout the se- ries. First ‘ndications of the betting odds on the series were available today with Brooklyn definitely placed as the National league pennant winner. Wa- gers were offered here at odds of 10 to 7 on Boston. As vyet, it was said, no Brooklyn money has appeared. With business activities connected with the approaching series on all sides, the players who have just won the American league title today be- came further accustomed to the lay of the lang at Braves Field. Light bat- ting and flelding practice was the or- der set by Manager Carrigan. THREE-CORNERED BATTLE Kennedy, Palmer and Coe Seek Demo- cratic Nomination for Rrepresenta- tive in Fifth District. Litchfield, Oct. 4. —With three aspirants for the nomination in the field, the democrats of the fifth con- gressional district convened here to- dy to name a candidate for represent- ative in congress from the district. The candidates for the honor were former Congressman Willlam Kennedy of Naugatuck, W. R. Palmer of Ox- ford, a member of the democratic state central committee, and Frank E. Coe, warden of the borough of Tor- rington. The convention, called to order by Ell D. Weeks of Bantam, chairman of the congressional district committge was organized with John S. Addis of New Milford as chairman and Patrick A. Marren of Derby as secretary. Early in the convention attention was centered on a contest between delegates from Torrington, one of whom it w: id favored the nomi- nation of Mr. Kennedy and the other that of Mr. Coe. Soon after the con- vention had been organized a recess was taken until afternoon to give the various committees opportunity to prepare their reports. The of the committee on credentials we awaited with keen interest it was the belief of many of the delegates that the decision on the Torrington contest might have an important bearing on the nomination PASSENG] RS INJURKED.

New York, Oct. 4.—The national | commission will take no action on the statement made by Manager John McGraw of the New York Glants, that his team played listless ball in the | game yesterday when Brooklyn eas- | ily defeated the Giants and captured | the National League championship. President John K. Tener of the National League said today that the commission would not take any cog- nce of McGraw's remark McGraw was undoubtedly wrought up over the fact that his team could not keep on winning,” said President Tener. “The Giants were suffering from the reaction of their long winning streak. I don’t doubt that McGraw said harsh things, but every friend of baseball will realize the fiery temper of the man who said them.” McGraw could not be found today to amplify his remarks which he made shortly after he left the Giants’ bench in anger during the fifth in- ning of the game yesterday. Art Fletcher, the shortstop, and “Poll” Perritt asserted that the New York team played the best they knew how. Captain Jake Daubert of the Brooklyns says that Fletcher told him before the game that while he might like to see him win, the Giants wero out to win the game, if possible Manager Robinson of the Brooklyns, an old friend of McGraw, said ho could not understand what could have prompted McGraw’s remarks unless he was angry over the fact that the Brooklyns were beating the Giants, MEMORIAL T0 GRANT Bronze Tablet Unveiled at State House by Sons of Veterans—Southington Man Makes Presentation, Hrrtford, Oct. 4.—A bronze tablet, given to the state of Connecticut by the Connecticut Division, Sons of Veterans, as a memorial to General Ulysses S.

Thomas Brady of this city, a mem- ber of the Fourteenth cavalry, which ic stationed at Eagle Pass, Texas, is on a twenty-twa day furlough and is spending part of the time at his home. The boys on the border are chafing considerably aver the inactivity and will welcome the home-coming orders, There is plenty of work for the sol- diers, but it is mostly of the form which tends to keep them in condition rather than to give any chance to emulate the deeds of their ancestors in previous wars and conflicts.

No Withdrawal Plan Yect. Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 4.—Further consideration by the Mexican-Ameri- can joint commission was given today to the plan of border control proposed by the Mexican members. It was re- garded as probable that General Blis assistant chief of staff of the United States army, would appear before the American commission in an advisory capacity. That the plan, which in- volves the withdrawal of Pershing’s forces, could be adopted prior to a definitc understanding r garding General Carrar attitude respecting the reopening of mines and other industries was regarded as im- probable.

Berlin, Oct. via London, Oct. 5:10 a. m.—The campaign Chancellor Ven Bethmann-Hollweg is daily assuming a more tangible form. One of the latest developmen a circular demanding the retire- chancellor, which hs heen sent by a vociferous group his opponents to such members of the Reichstag as are considered open to 4, | their arguments. The indictments covers almost every thing in the chancellor’s conduct of foreign affairs before and during the Attacks are made in particu- lar on his attempts to reach an agree- ment with Tngland, his first attitude | toward Belgian neutrality and, natur- ally, his policy in the submarine issue. The only name of international prom- inence among the signers is that of Srsnt Haeckel, and the circular is re- garded as symptomatic rather than se- rious. Saxon Socialists Disturhe factor which is disturbing the political situation is a breach of the volitical proclaimed at the outset of war, which has been made by the Saxon Socialists. This faction has determined to run a candidate for the seat in the Reichstag vacated by the death of the conservative, Ernst Eduard Glese. This determina- violates the general agreement between the political parties that all vacant seats shall be resigned without contest to the party holding them at the outse of the war. Meanwhile the chancellor and the Reichstag leaders continue to discu the points at issue behind closed doors. The discussion is being conducted on an even more confidential basis than before. It is being no longer held before the full committee on ways and means, to which all members of the Reichstag are admitted as audi- tors, but in a smaller select commit- tee of party leaders who are specially bound to secrecy. Such reports as leak out say that while the antagonism between the chancellor and his op- ponents has not disappeared, the dis- jon is now being conducted on the s of reason and not of passio. It is believed that there is a good prospect that an agreement will be reached which will avoid the open discussion issues before the Reichstag. The friends of the chancellor appear to be fully satisfied with the situation and bas | declare that he has it well in hand.

The severe and prolonged struggle demanded on the part of our troops very great determination and courage. “At the end of September the situa- tion may be summarized as follows: Since the opening of the battle on July 1 we have taken 26,735 prison- ers and engaged thirty-eight German divisions, of which twenty-nine (about 350,000 men) have been withdrawn exhausted or broken. We hold the half moon upland south of the Ancre, occupy every height of importance, and so have direct obs ation ground to the east and northea The enemy has fallen back upon a fourth behind a low ridge just west of the Bapaume-Transloy road. “The importance of the three months offensive is not to be judged by the distance advanced or the number of enemy irench lines taken. Tt must be looked for in the effect upon the enemy’s strength in numbers, material and morale. The enemy had used up his reserves in repeated, costly and unsuccessful counter attacks without causing our allies or ourselves to re- Jax our teady, methodical pressure. “In this action troops from every part of the British Empire and Brit- ish TIslands have been engaged. All behaveq with the discipline and reso- Jution of veterans. Our aircraft have shown in the highest degree the spir it of the offensive. They have pa- trolled regularly far behind the ene- my’'s lines and have fought many bat- tles in the air with hostile machincs and many with enemy troops on the groud. For every cnemy machine that cucceeds in crossing our front it is safe to say 200 British machines cross the enemy’s front.” NEW PARALYSIS CASE Thirteen Month Old Son of Mr, and Mrs. Louis Anderson of 42 Grand Street Reported T With Plague.
