INSURANCE INSURANCE - WORLD’S SERIES OPEN TODAY Brooklyn Meets Boston fqr Highest Baseball Honon on Braves’ Field—A Stiff Battle Looked for—Nation-Wide Interest in Games. AUTO FIRE COMPENSATION Let us quote you rate: J. L. LATHROP & SONS 28 Shetucket Street. Boston, Oct, 6—This ci ty, the home of winning world’s series baseball teams, awaits the opening of the 1816 clash ‘tomorrow between the Brooklyn Nationals and the Boston Americans with the calm confidence that comes from faith in its playing representa- tives and the unbroken string of vice tories in past contests. Brooklyn Club Optimistic. The optimism and fighting spirit that the Brooklyn club and its accompany- ing band of supporters brought to town tonight added interest to the impending struggle for the premier honors of the diamond without shaking in the least the faith of the local fans that the Red Sox would triumph over the invading team from Greater New York. Betting 10 to 7 on the Red Sox This confidence is reflected in a score of ways and in every portion of the city as well as throughout New Eng- land. In basepall debate and wager- ing its erops out time and time again until it would appear as though there was in all of this section one Amer- ican League rooter who even consid- ended in victory in the closing days of the race, has aroused great respect for the prowess of the National League standard bearers and it is conceded that they wilil give the Boston com- bination the stiffest kind of a battle before they will admit defeat. Interest in Series is Nation-Wide The serles which opens at Braves’ Fleld tomorrow is far from being a local or even a gectional affair, haw: everever, from the standpoint of in- terest. Notwithstanding that the con- tending teams are eastern clubs, the interest in the coming struggle for the world’s championship is national and this is clearly demonstrated by the gathering of the spectators for the two games that will be played here tomorrow and Monday, weather per- mitting. Whit it is but natural that the majority of the fans should hail from New England and New York, the fact remains that hundreds of base- ball enthusiasts from all parts of the country are here tonight awaiting the umpire’s call of “Play_ ball” to set going the machinery of the 1916 world's series.

Fans From All Points of the Compass. the fans have journeyed from the south, far west, central and Atlantic states to witness the play and explains why Braves Field, with its seating ca- pacity for more than 42,000, will be un- able to accommodate the throngs who will besiege its gates tomorrow. Fine Weather Promised. As if to play the part of host to perfection, the weather man has prom- ised his finest brand of weather for the opening game, his prediction call- ing for an ideal Indian summer day, moderately warm and with little, if any wind. Every indication tonight pointed ot his forecast coming true and hun- dreds of men and boys gathered out- side the walls of Braves' Field for an all-night vigil under brilliant moon- light and in warm balmy atmosphere that made overcoats and heavy wraps unnecessary. Gates Open Early This Mor As has been the custom 9. in_past years, the gates leading to the unre= served sections of the stands and bleachers will be opcned early to- morrow morning and it was apparent that these sections would be fllled to overflowing before the game bezan at 2 p. m, if the canguard, which be- gan to form in lines at twilight, could be taken as a criterion of the rush to come after the midnight hours had passed. Every Reserve Seat Sold. In some respects these early bidders for the unreserved sections were more fortunate than the prospective spec- tators who depended upon their fat pocketbooks to gain them access to the more expensive stands. With_ the exception of a few uncalled-for allot- ments, every reserved seat was sold out tonight and these will be snapped up immediately they are put on sale.at the box office” tomorrow morning. S0 great has been the demand for seat that not many are offered for sale by speculators. President J. J. Lannin of the Boston club stated that he had been forced to buy back, at a premium, {some tickets which he needed for per- sonal friends who had applied and | could not be refused at the last minute. Speculators Reaping a Harvest. Those speculators who were fortu- e enought to secure cven a pair of ts reaped a harvest of more than )0 per cent upon their investment on heir mere announcement that they ad seats for sale.

Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn Nationals, arrived in town with his players late this evening and like President Tener, he predicted a surprise for the Superbas’ opponents. “Make no mistake,” he said, “the Brooklyn club is going to upset some theories before the series is over. My club has had to fight for every game it won in the pennant race this sea- son an dit is a fighting team from the ground up. Every. time it received a setback it returned to the play strong- than before and clinched the pennant in the hardest drive ever known in the National League. “This experience is going to help the players and we'll be out there fighting for every advantage from the start and I feel that in the long run this spirit is going to be rewarded with victory. Ban Johnson's Views President B. B.

Play begins at two o'clock. to win ,but I believe that the contest for the greatest honors that baseball has to give will be closer than appears to be the geneal impression. I would not be surprised to see the series go six or even seven games before Car- rigan's players finally clinch the championship. The team is a power- ul, well-balanced combination and its ghting spirit is well known. The Na- tional League team is also Strong and should furnish much opposition so that I expect to see some of the best games that a world’s series has de- veloped in many years.” Tener Declines to Pick Winner. John K. Tener, president of the Na- tional League, appeared confident that the senior league representatives would emerge victors In the series, but he modestly refused to pick a winner. He said in discussing the outlook: “I am not going to try and pick a winner, although naturally I have my own opinion on that point. I will say, however ,that I expect to see the best games that have ever been played in the world’s series to date. The Brook- lyn club, winner of the National League pennant, is undoubtedly the best this season in our league as its record of games won shows and I be- lieve that it will prove to be the sur- prise of the series. “All T ask is for fair weather and that the best team win after a series of games that will be an honor to the great national sport.” Left Handers to Pitch Today. All indications point to a battle of left handed pitchers in the first game for it appears to be a settled conclu- sion that Manager Robinson will send Marquard to the mound for Brooklyn while Manager Carrigan will rely on Leonard to uphold the nonors for the American League _champlons. If Leonard _pitches, Outflielder Casey Stengel will not be in the Brooklyn lineup and the probable batting order will be as follow: Brooklyn Lineup. Broolyn Nationals—Johnston, right Daubert, first baseman; Myer: centerfield; Wheat, left field; Cutshaw second base; Mowrey, third base; OIl- son, shortstop; Mevers, catcher; Mar- quaxd, pitcher. Lineup of Red Sox. Boston Americans—Hooper, _right field; Janvrin, second bas: Walker, centerfield; Hoblitzell, first base; Lew- is, left field; Gardner, third base Scott, shortstop; Carrigan, -catcher Leonard, pitcher. How Umpires Will be Stationed. The umpires will be staioned as fol- lows: Connolly (American League), behind the plate; O'Day (National League) on the bases; Dineen (Amer- ican’ League) left field; Quigley (Na- tional Laegue), right field. Robbie Not Worrying. “We are going out to win, and I think we can do it,” sald Manager Robinson of tie Dodgers yesterda: “Our team has played good ball all season, and we held the lead alrost 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 mith will show them some pitching, and we are not worrying.” Rube Sees Victory Ahead. Rube Marquard, who is reported to have been selected to pitch the opening Zame of the world’s series for Brook- Iyn, said yesterday that he was in top form now and that Brooklyn is going to win. “This team has nothing to fear from Boston,” he added. “We measure right up to their standard in cvery department and, believe me, we are going to trim them. All I hope is that I can pitch the same sort of ball that I have been pitching during the last couple of weelk “At Their Throats” Says Coombs. “We be right at their throats al time,” declared Jack Coomb comeback artist of the Brooklyns, ves. terday. “If anyone believes Boston Is going to ride right over us, he is reck- oning without men of the stamp of ke Daubert, Pfeffer, Marquard and “hief Meyers.” Leonard and Carrigan to Start? | Close followers of the Red Sox team, claiming no authority sor their state- ment, predicted at Bo: n_ yesterday that Carrigan himself would catch the opening game, with Leonard as the pitcher. COOMBS READY FOR FRAY. Man Confident Brooklyn Wil! Make Great Showing. Iron Jack Coombs is one of the brainiest pitchers of the game. Because of his long experience in the American league before Robinson gave him a chance to malke a real comeback with the Robins his views are doubly intcresting. Colby Jac kwas pressed to elucidate and after a great deal of coaxing did so. ust remember this,” said the for- mer iron man of Connie Mack, who Dbeat the Cubs almost single handed in the 1910 series, “nobody can tell how any player is going to act when he goes into his first world's series. “Only in world's serles experience have the Red Sox any advantage over us that 1 can see. I really look for Brooklyn to play quite as well in the more important series as they have played during several crises of our chompionship. That, I _think, will be Zood enough to beat Boston for the long end of the prize money. “This Brooklyn club, contrary to some views of the out of town critics, is as game as any team with which 1 have associated. I do not think the team as a whole will suffer the slizht- est nervousness. A great deal, of course, always depends on the batteries of the first game. Chief Meyers is a catcher who has been through threc world’s championsbips. Marquard was with the Indian in all of these, and the pair did valiant service. Il be reday any time Wilbert Robinson calls upon me. Personally I can guarantee that T'll not suffer from the fidgets.” LEXINGTON RACES. Two Year Old Stake Won by Emma McGowan. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 6.—Emma Mec- Gowan won the Lexington, the oldest two vear old stake race in _ handy fashion at the ~ Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' assocfation meeting here today, trotting the two heats in 2,07 1-2 and 2.07 3-4, which makes it the third fastest two vear old race on record. Her best heat was only a half_second slower than the best heat by The Real Lady in winning the Futurity. Ben Earl, in winning the Blue Grass stake for 2.10 pacers, showed the best speed of the day. In the second heat Ben Earl passed the last half in 58 1-2 and the last quarter in 28 1-! [atter naving toatea to the pair mite post Ben Earl, who was driven by Marvin Childs, won the pacing fea- ture in straight heats, but only after three_hard batties with Jay Ell Mack and_Young Todd, ‘Worthy Volo got second money _in the Lexington, Kelly Deforest third, and Mary Coburn, who captured sec- ond money in the futurity on Monday last, finished fourth. The 2.13 trot developed the hardest race, five heats being required, Baby Doll got first money by winning the second, third and fifth heat. Jeanette Speed won the first heat and second money. In the second heat George Patterson and Jeanette Speer ran togéther on the first turn and Cox was thrown from the sulky but was not injured. The horses were placed by the judges be- cause they considered it an unavoid- able accident. The 2.16 pace was easy for Spring Maid, the favorite, in straight heats, Rayo de Oro taking second money, ‘The Aim third, and Miss Patsy fourth. Brisac, driven by Murphy, won the third and deciding heat of the 2.09 tpot unfinished from Thursday, M. L.

Five Southern Varsity Elevens Will Battle on Eastern Gridirons. New York, Oct. 6.—Intersectional contests will be the feature of eastern football games to be played tomor- row ve of the leading southern university elevens will appear, upon varsity gridirons in this section to test their prowess against _eastern teams. The University of Virginia will play Yale, over which it triumph- ed by a 10 to 0 score last year. Prince- ton will have North Carolina as an opponent; West Virginia Wesleyan meets Washington and Jefferson: and Western Maryland faces Fordham, while the Army will be entertaining the Washington and Lee University. The west will also be represented, for Ohio University will oppose Syracuse in the stadium of the latter university. All the contests, togetner with sev- eral others between eastern teams, promise to develop play rather more advanced than is usual at this period of the football season. The records of the invading southern and western elevens last year show great scoring power and strong defensive strength and as they have retained a majoril of the 1915 veterans, it 1s expected that the home combinations will be forced to uncover something more than prac tice football if they are to hold their own, or win from the visiting elevens Among the more important east v: east games, Harvard will meet Tufts; Pernsylvania will play Franklin and Marshall; Navy_ forces Georgzetowr Colgate tackles Maine; Brown has Trinity as opponent; Williams oppos- es Union; Columbia lines up against Hamilton: Penn State meets Bucknell and Lafayette plays Swathmore.
