LARDNER BROOKLYN, Oct. 5.—Just before I left the heavily mortguged home this | morning to. go to Brooklyn, a bird that sald be represented a cooterie that represented a former champion prize fighter that represented a mas- ter mind, called me up on the phone and says they was prepared to make it worth my while if 1 would agree to not write my best about this world serious. For a minute I thot about the wife and kiddies and then I thot about the money, and I says some- thing to the bird on the other end of the wire and hung up on him, and I will leave it to the public to judge whether 1 listened to reason oF no. : Bo far I feel better about this sert. ous than I did after the Ist game at Cincinnati 1 year ago. On that occasion I had a heavy wagger on the white sox to win. This time 1| and another bird bet Hughey Fuller- ton 5 smaks apiece that Robbie would start a left-hander pitcher, and Hughey come in and paid us right after the game, tho a friend of mine seen him talking to Rube Marquard on the way out of the park trying to fix it up for Rube to say he was right-handed, for witch Hughey was going to give him & smacks. Rube wouldn't fall for it, So this year, gents, we are starting out way ahead of the game, and not only that, but much to my surprise Riley Wilson paid me for the tickets I had boughten for him. It looks like a big yr for the Lardner boys. Speaking about Riley Wilson, What happened to him explains why the reserved seats didn’t fill up till the game was pretty near % over. Riley come up from Charles. ton, W. Va., where it still is 2 o'clock in the P. M, when it is 3 o'clock in citys. So Riley didn’t leave his ho- tel till his Charleston watch says 1 S66 HERG WHERE GOV. Cox SAYS HE'S GONNA Lower rr % past one and fell into his seat about the same time Steve O'Neil was thumping his 2nd 2 bagger. The | same thing happened to a lot of other | yaps. Wake up, yokels! We're a yr ahed of you, you poor simps! No doubt the experts will give you a idear about how this game was lose and win. Personally, it looked to me like Brooklyg lost because it was the int time they ever played vs a club that uses 6 outfielders in the game at the same time, 4 of witch is a manager, That is where the indians has got a big advantage. Speaker don't only manage his club, but he plays right center, left center and middie center field and shortstop, while Robbie don't do nothing only waddle out to the coacher’s box when he ain't takeing up 4 positions on the bench. However, my business is to te'l what come off and not why. Well, it looked for a while like they wouldn't be no game, because when the Cleve. land boys got over to Brooklyn and asked where was the ball pk they couldn't find nobody that understood American dialect till finely they run jaeromst a bird that talke Stanley | Covielsky's tongue, and covie says to jhim, “Wheresky isky the ballpark. sky?” And the bird said, “I don’tsky knowsky.” So they hunted around tl they found it. They was considerable confusions around the gen admission ticket win dows dureing the A M Monday night. The master mind that runs the Brooklyn club give out the news that the bleacher tickets would be placed on sale at 8 o'clock this a. m. and regular Brooklyn fans would be give the preference over outsiders, |and the way the ticket sellers could |wee that the regular Brooklyn fans | was, took care of would be to only gell tickets to people that could show a gob of rain checks that they had saved up from the games played at Ebbets Field this season. Well, this worked like the scheme to run Herbert Hoover for president. When § o'clock came around the ticket agents opened up their win- dows and seen a couple thousands fans standing in line, and it looked ike it would take till next yom kip- per to interview each fan personally and ast him, “How many rain checks do you hold up?” So 1 of the asst master minds says that the ticket agents had saw enough of the Brook- lyn fans to know them when they seen them, so the word was past around that tickets be give out to people that looked and acted like they was regular Brooklyn fans. After this plan was put in effect the sale went on ok. If you went up to the window dressed quietly and acting normal and said that you wanted 1 $2.00 ducat, please, why a flat foot would knock you out of line with a black- Jack, and say, “Go back to Phila and | sive the home boys a chance!" But if you went up looking cuckoo and frothing at the mouth and says something like “I am Albert, King of the Belgiums!” and begin doing a foxy trot and ‘yelling “Take away | them sour elephantsT’ why, they seen you was one of the regulars and filled your order, #0 by noon they | wasn't a vacant cell left in the pop- lar priced wards. In the 7th inning Covelskie fouled one off and it lit on a home rooter’s dome in the upper grand stand and ‘a cop come up to recover the ball, | but when he got there he seen it was | lop sided and the bird responsible for | ite condition was allowed to take it home. Amist those present in the press stand was Charley Herzog, who was nursing a few sliced knuckles where (Turn to Page 2, Column 7) WOT’S NEWS TODAY?
