If confidence ounts in the coming match, the bout ould prove to be a whirlwind affair, both wrestlers declaring that they are jure victory will be theirs. Manager [Holden is very much pleased with the esults of the earnest training of Ben- jamin for the coming match. He states flthat during the past ten days, the M“Kid" has, invented eight. new and { dangerous holds to use on Ventres. Much depends on 'thé outcome of the match for the Plainville boy, for in the event of his success against Ventres, h¢ has been promised a match | |with Jimmy Brunnell, ‘“the Butcher Boy"”, in New York at an early date. Benjamin figures the coming battle | will just about prime him for the more important match with the Me- | tropolis crack. On the other hand, the followers of Pl Ventres are looking forward to victory i for their favorite, and they are ready g to back him to the limit in the coming mat argument. Ventres, since his J{ debut as a grappler has had phenome- Il nal success, and has yet to undergo the pangs of defeat. He does not an- ticipate that Benjamin will beat him, but he does admit that the bout will ' no doubt be a gruelling one. ! The sale of tickets for the bouts F.

Caretul attention has been given the promoters in arranging pre- liminaries that are sure to whet the appetites for fast work. ‘“‘Young” Burdick of Berlin and Oscar Swanson of Worcester, Mass, will appear in the curtain raiser. In the semi-final bout, Alex George, “the Terrible Ar- menian” of Bristol will be pitted against George Stelena, champion of Rhode Island. All matche: are catch-s-catch-can style, to a finish. i EA‘I'(L CADDOCK IN ARMY. Atlantic, Iowa, Oct. 5.—Ear!

And some bat- tle it was too. The City League cham- pions were returned the victor, but not until they were forced to use every ounce of bowling energy to defeat the East Side boys. Joe Foote et al. started off at a fast clip and took the first encounter by 18 pins. Again in the second game, the Annex boys were much in evidence, but the ! champs held them to a draw at 470 | each. On the roll-off the Live Oaks | were the winners. In the final game the L.

New York, Oct. 5.—Even money was the best that was offered on the world’s series in Wall street yester- day. There was plenty of money in | sight—the bulk of it Giant money— | but betting was light, as Chicago | backers wanted 6 ta 5. One bet of | ,000 at even money on the out- the strain. quests does not compare with problem President Comiskey of ‘White Sox is dealing with here. cording to Chicago newspapermen the But even that flood of re- the the Ac- 0Old Roman could not be more despon- dent if his team lost the first four games of the series to the Giants than he is now. “I have lost most of the friends I made in a lifetime in baseball within the past week,” sald' Comiskey this morning. “But what can I do? How can I make accommodations for 300,- 000 fans in a park with a capacity of 32,0007 We cannot do the impossi- ble.” The distribution of the limited num- ber of reserved seats for the series started yesterday morning when per- sons with numbered certificates were given their precious pasteboards. There is, of course, the usual yelp from fans of years standing who claim that they were discriminated agalnst. So far scalpers have some tickets, but not many. They are more interested in buying than in selling. Scalpens Are Desperate. The scalpers appear to be really desperate and are willing to pay as high as $75 for box seats for the three games (face value $15), and $30 for grand stand seats for three games (face value $4.50). A scalper offered two $50 notes at the Auditorium last evening for a pair of $15 tickets from a lucky fan who had obtained paste- boards. Comiskey hag enlisted all Chicago newspapermen and personal friends in 4 secret service campaign against sealping. They watch in hotel lobbies, bars and other places for persons dis- posing of tickets. Comiskey has a pri- vate telephone over which his Sher- lock Holmeses immediately advise him when they hear of any ticket deals. | come of the series was recorded. Many freak bets were rumored. An admirer of George Burns wagered $10 to $50 that the Giants’ left-fielder reaches first base on his first trip to the plate. Another bet at 1 to 2 that the first game goes more than nine innings was recorded. TO PLAY FOR SOLDIERS. Cincinnati, Ohlo, Oct. 5.—Presi- dents Herrman of the Cincinnati Na- | tionals and Dunn of the Cleveland i Americans announced yesterday that the two teamg would play a game of baseball at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, on the first day following the conclusion of the series for the Ohio State championship. Such tickets will be taken up when presented and the seller will be pros- ecuted by the Corporation Counsel. The Old Roman says he will spend $10,000 in buylng up tickets from scalpers and then will print the names of those who.sold them in the papers. HARVARD TO PLAY TARS.

New Brunswick, Oct. 5.—Jack Wal- lace, star quarterback, who enlisted in the Naval Reserve last spring but was released in September to con- tinue his college work, will not be allowed to play on the Rutgers’ 'var- sity football team. Wallace did not complete his work last year, expect- ing that students who enlisted would receive credit, but on his return he learned differently, and is now in- eligible because of scholastic deficien- cies. Baker, & new man at quarterback, is showing excellent ability, however, and Sanford is well pleased with his work. Baker ran the team in excel- lent fashion against Ursinus, and dis- played better field generalship than Rutgers has had in some time, EMPIRES, TAKE NOTICE. Through the press a few nights ago, the Rainbow team of this city issued a challenge to the Empire team of this city, but as the Rainbow man- ager has heard nothing of the chal- lenge from the manager of the Em- pires, they (Empires) must admit that the Rainbows are the real claimants to the:title in this city. The Rainbows therefore are with- out a game for this coming Sunday, Oct. 7, and if any of those teams in the city, who have been putting chal- lenges in the paper, wish to play us they can do 50 by communicating at once with the manager of the Rain- bows. The manager of the Rainbows is- sues a challenge to any team in the city or state, none barred, who aver- age 120-125 lbs., for any Sunday, either on the Rainbows’ field or any other place. Please address all communications to Manager Edward J. Smith, 937 | Stanley St., New ‘Britain, Conn., Tele- | phohe 843- THREE DRIVERS HURT. Two Bad Collisions Occur During Brockton Fair Meet. Brockton, Mass., Oct. 5.—Two col- lisions in which three drivers were thrown to the track furnished thrills for the spectators at the light harness | races here yesterday.
