SOX AND DODGERS ANXIOUS FOR FRAY Boston Hotel Keepers .Begin to In- stall Cots for Big Rush NOT ENOUGH TICKETS Applications Come From As Far Away As Trenches in France— Brooklyn Players Determined to Fight to Last Ditch. Boston, Oct. 5.—With the first game of the world series to be played in this city two days away, virtually every element in the local end of that event was in readiness today. The world champion Boston Ameri- cans, marking time from the end of the season which brought them an- other pennant to the hour they meet the Brooklyn Nationals on Saturday in defense of greater baseball honor: divided forces. One group headed by Capt. Jack Barry went to Worcester, to oppose the Philadelphia Amer! cans in a game arranged to a a memorial fund for the umpire, John H. Gaffney. Others of the team went again to Braves Field, where the local games will be played, for light practice. Manager Carri- gan who was with the latter group, said that “‘the boys are in good s except for Ioster and Barry.” Whether ecither or both would be able to take an active part in the series was still uncertain, he said. Close followers of the team, claim- ing no authority for their statement, predicted today that Carrigan him- self would ch the opening game, with Leonard as the pitcher Reservations Oversubscribed.” Allotment of the 27,000 reserved seat tickets was finished early today, with probably more than 1,000 appli- cations unanswered. The available reservations were oversubscribed so greatly that many persons for a modest pair of seats w lowed but one, which others six and eight, in some instances ob- tained only a pair. To receive their tickets applicants besieged the club box offices today, and with the an- nouncement of last night that reser- vations were not specific, but ap- plied only to the number of seats al- lowed, with early comers getting pre- ference of location, the grandstand lines resembled a bleacher rush. Those desiring to be on the grounds early was reflected today in the ar- rivals at hotels here of hundreds of visitors, some of whom had come ahead of time, hoping to get the pick of seats. Hotel men reported early indications of a tremendous business, requests for reservations having taxed the capacity in several instances to the point where cots were ordered installed. The extent of the appeal world series as an event as wide- spread in interest as the name im- plies, was shown by requests from th- battle front in France some weeks ago, from the Canadian northwest by telegraph within the past week, and from Mexico. The committee in charge of the press arrangements, T porting a greater demand for news paper representation than ever be- foe, said today that applications had come from Canada, Cuba and Pana- ma. re al- asking of the Brooklyn Confident of Victory. New York, Oct. 5.—Wilbert Robin- son, manager of the Brooklyn Nation- al leaguc club, will pit his regulars against New York in the game .n Brooklyn this afternoon as a final workout for the opening of the world’s series at Boston on Saturday. “We are going out to win and T think we can do it,” said Robinson. “Our team has played good ball all season, and we held the lead almost all the way through, except for a day or two here and there. We measure up to the Red Sox, and with our team playing its best ball right now there is no reason why it can’t win. We'll show the fans some real playing. Mar- quard, Coombs, Cheney, Pfeffer and Smith will show them some pitching, and we are not worrying.” “Rube” Marquard, who is reportel to have been sclected to pitch the opening game for Brooklyn, said ae was in top form now and that Brook- lyn i ing to win. “This team has nothing to fear from Boston,” he add- ed. ‘““We measurs right up to their standard in every department and we believe we are going to trim them. All I hope ‘s that T can pitch the same scrt of ball that T have been pitching GQuring the last couple of weeks.” “We will be right at their throats all the time,” declared Jack Coombs. “Tf one believes Boston is going to right over us he is reckoning without men of the stamp of Jake Daubert, Pfaffer, Marquard and Chief Meyers.” The world’: was when 1Lt was stated ers, the owner of placed $20.000 to $14,000 on the Bos ton Americans to win A number of smaller wagers at 10 to 6 were re- ported.

OHMAN GIVES VIEWS ON HYPHEN Term As Applied First By Roose- evelt Ts Misnomer—We Are All Hyphcnates. Rev. S. G. Ohman, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church, came to | the defense of the so-called hyphen- | ated citizens at the German bazar in Turner hall last night when he deliv- ered an address before a large audi- ence. It was Swedish night at the bazar and the audience w largely composed of people of Scandinavian and Teutoric blood. Dr. Ohman de- clared that the phrase ‘“hyphenated- Americans” is a misnomer and went | to the Greek to gain the original meaning of the root word “hypen.” The term, he declared was an inven- tion of ex-President Roosevelt and was and ‘s wrongly applied. The Swedish pastor maintained that all Americans are to be classed as hy- phenates under the Rooseveltian inter- pretation, President Wilson included and the latter especially so when one considers the president’s alleged pro- British leanings. Dr. Ohinan told the audience of his trip to Germany in the fall of 1907 as a delegate from the Augustanna Sy- nod at the dedication of the Gustavus Adolphus memorial chapel at Lutzen, | There he met with other dignataries of the church and state, the German crown prince Eitel Fred- | erick and the Swedish Crown Prince, Gustave, now king of Sweden. There were ahout 30,000 people present in- cluding men of rank in the German, edish and Finnish armies and navi Great cordiality was mani- fested towards tlie American dele- 1tes. Turning to the muect sibillty of war with Germany, Dr. Ohman declared that the people of both nations were opposed to it and neither would ever consent to such a struggle. If, id Dr. Ohman, the United States is ever to develop into the country that it ought to develop into the German-Americans will large- Iy contribute to that end as they are | law abiding, peaceful and industrious. | He then raised the question whether | the United States has yet become a na- | tion in the real meaning of the word | owing to the cosmopolitan nature of | the population and whether in the event of war with any Euroean tion any of the citizens of foreign blood could be fully depended \lhlln‘ | i | iscussed pos- to stand by this nation as opposed to the country of their nativity. Before such a condition can be reached concluded the pastor more cemontin.’:i is needed.
