BATTLE FOR BASE BALL HONORS OF WORLD ON TODAY Red Sox and Brooklyn Robins Clash in First Game of Great Championship Series at Boston. BETTING ™ JORS CARRIGAN Interest 1y truggle Nation- Wide, With Visitors Com- -ing From Everywhere. FINE WEATHER PROMISED Boston, Oct. 6.—This city awaits the opening of the 1916 classic to- morrow between the Brooklyn Na- tionals and the Boston Americans with confidence‘ and faith in its play- ing representatives and the unbroken string of victories iny past contests. This confidence is reflected in every portion of the city, as well as through- out New England. In base ball de- bate and wagering, it crops out time and again. While the betting tquight is 10 to7 on Boston, with but 'little Brooklyn money in sight, the average supporter of the Boston Americans is far from predicting a walkover. The determined and courageous strug- gle put up all season by Brooklyn in winning the National league cham- pionship has aroused great respect for the prowess of the National league standard bearers, ‘and it is conceged they will give the Boston combination the stiffest kind of a battel. 3 Not Sectional Affair. The series which opens at Braves field tomorrow is far from being a sectional affair, from the standpoint of interest. Notwithstanding that the contending teams are eastern clubs, the interest in the'coming struggle for the world’s championjshp is na- tional, and this is clearly demon- strated by the gathering of the spec- tathrs for the two games that will be played here tomorrow and Mon- day. While it is only natural that the majority of the fans should hail from New England and New York, the fact remains that hnudreds of base ball enthusiasts from all parts of the country are here tonight await- ing ‘the umpires call of “play ball,” to set going the machinery of the 1916 world's series. Boston usually, is far from lacking in ample hotel facilities, yet every hotel in the city tonight is thronged with” base ball followers, who are willing to endure-inconvenience, pro- vided they-are assured a place to sleep ‘and “eat for the next few days. %' " Come From Afar. that ‘the fans have journeyd from the south, far west, central and At- lantic states to witness the play, and explains why Braves field, with its seating capacity for more than 42,000 spectators, will be unable to accomo- date the throngs who will besiege its gates tomorrow. / As if to play the part of host to perfection, the weather man has promised his finest brand of weather for the opening game, his prediction calling for an ideal Indian summer day, moderately warm and with little, if any, wind. Every indication to- night pointed to his forecast coming true, and hundreds of men and boys gathered outside the wall of the park for an all-night vigil, under brilliant moonlight and in a warm, balmy at- mosphere that made overcoats and heavy wraps unnecessary. Will Be Opened Early. The gates leading to the unreserved sections of the stands and bleachers will be epened early tomorrow morn- ing and it was aflaarcnt that these sections will be filled hours before the games begin at 2 p. m. With the exception of a few un- called allotments, every reserved seat was sold out tonight and these will be snapped up immediately when they are put on sale at the box office to- morrow morning. So great has heen the demand for seats that not many are offered for e 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 need- ed for persomal friends, who had ap- slied and could not be refuseu at the 'ast minute. ¢ Those speculators who were for- ((‘<;nk|nned on Page ‘l:w-h'e.

The orchid silver cloth was draped over a foundation of flounces of silver lace, while over this billows of Lucile tulle were looped up high on the hips with a ipleated ‘heading, with silver lace looped up to the back of the gown.| The bodice was of the orchid silver cloth veiled with the same shade of tulle, fashioned with a pointed girdle, the square-cut neck edged with silver lace with silver baMls over the OMAHA, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER g Maidens Attending Queen Were Beautiful in I & 2ly Gowns ¥, covered with orchid tulle, ~sleeves were just filmy bits of wile caught a little below the bare shoulder. A short, square court train, two yards in lergy S’ ¢ orchid sil- ver cloth, hung from above the waist. While presenting the same simple, girlish effect, no two or these court gowns were made alike, each one be- ing a work of art totally unlike any of its companions. Fashioning the gowns of the princesses of the court in the mode of the hour, instead of following any certain period, as in the past, is a departure from custom instituted last year. Pages to the king and queen wore suits of white satin, the queen’s pages’ suits trimmed with silver, and those of the king with gold. The suits had rococo, cut-away coats with white lace waistcoats, while a shoulder cape of white satin was worn over the coats. White tam o' shanters with white plumes, and white hosiery with black satin slippers, completed the costumes. Little Jane Powell, Beatrice Man- ley, Marie Dixon and Bertha Mae and Maertha Ri Bradford were the queen’s pages. Harley Moorhead, jr, Ed- ward Kennedy, Louis Rogers Nash, Francis Burkley and David Crofoot were the king's pages.

She 1s 2 Brownell Hall graduate and com- pleted her education at Briarcliff Manor in New York. Miss Megeath was the first debutante of last year's season, having made her bow shortly after last year’s coronation ball, when she served as one of the special maids to Miss Marion Howe. Only last Sat- urday, Miss Megeath returned from Honolulu, where she spent six weeks with her parents. 4 As an expert horsewoman, Miss Megeath is best known. Long sum- mers spent in the heart of the Rock- ies at Estes and Yellowstone National park, have contributed toward the ease and grace with which she handles the most spirited animal. Shunning the usual diversions of the | debutante, Miss Megeath is distinctly an out-of-door 5irl. wielding the ten- fiis- racquet and the go}i{;!ub with equal facilify.™ WA Glistening Figure, The queen was a shimmering, glistening figure as she moved to join the king on the throne. Her corona- tion gown of brocaded cloth of sil- ver, embroidered with silver and sil- ver \sequins, together with her re- spléndent jewels, seemed to catch and reflect millions of rays of light. So exquisite was the texture of the silver cloth that the simplicity of man- ner in which it was fashioned, brought out its beauty most vividly. | The gown was quite short, the bro- caded silver cloth being draped in two high puffs over the hips, showing a dainty foundation of silver lace. | e bodice was close-fitting and pointed with the low “V"-cut neck filled in with silver-rin net. Bands of the brocaded silver cloth coming over the shoulder from the back were fastened just below the Shoulders in front, the rest of the short sleeve ‘formed of real princess lace, being finished with tassels of pear! beads. Silver slippers too, were worn. White Satin Train, A white satin train, lined with sil- ver net and edged with ermine at the bottom and at the V, where it was attached to the queen’s gown, | hung from the shoulders, Cloth of silver, lined with white satin, formed the coronation robe of | the queen. It was over four yards in length and was elaborately em- broidered in silver and trimmed with silver sequins, and was fastened to the queen’s shoulders with strands of silk cord. The court jewels of rhinestones and solid silver carried out the dewy, silvery sheen produced by the queen's attire. The jeweled crown rested on the queen’s dark hair, which | was worn low at the nape of the neck. ‘The other crown jewels included the | thinestone necklace and the jeweled | girdle and two bracclets studded with diamonds, which were worn on the drms, above the elbow. The quegn carried a jeweled scepter. A platinum bar pin set with dia- monds and sapphires was her gift | from the board of governors.

The dispatch says lhat_m‘ar Karytruca and Zubilno, Russian infantry have attacked Ger- ture, according to an authoritative statement of the government’s posi- tlon, obtained today in high official circles. While no official professed to know what is in President Wilson's mind, it was dc:lared’ that no preparations had been made for discussion of peace through the usual diplomatic chan- nels, and that all the information gathered here seemed to indicate that such a move would be hoth useless and inadvisable. Itwas pointed out, however, that in a matter of this na- ture the president usually keeps his own counsel and might be influenced by indications of wlx?ih the officigls here ‘are if ighoFance. Net Offered Nor Suggested. Regarding the many rumors that the: United States had made media- tory advances to the belligerents, during recent months, it was de- clared authoritatively that mediation nad been neither offered by this gov- ernment nor suggested to it from abroad. It was finally stated that no new peace overtures at all had been made to any of the belligerent governments and that no belligerent government had indicated that such overtuges wodld be welcomed. The United States, it was explained, stands exactly whepe it has stood ever since President, Wilson, at the outbreak of the war, made an open offer to use the good offices of the country whenever requested. Since that announcement, it was declared there has been no changes so far as the American government is con- cerned.
