BRUSH, PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW SPECULATORS SECURED BLOCKS OF CHOICE SEATS New York Baseball Public Handed Rawest Deal in History cf Sport in Sale of Tickets for World’s Series Between Giants and Athletics. [ Copyrtant, 911,,by The Press Publishing: Co, (The New York World), 00D morning. Have you been stung? Were you, one of the “loyal fans" so welcome at the Polo Grounds ticket office during the dull days of the season, lucky enough to get one of the few pasteboards passed out during the two-hour “public sale” a few days ago, at advertised prices? Or did you send a certified check to the New York Baseball Clud office, and find Saturday morning on hand without a sign of either ticket or returned cheok? Or have you submitted to the extortion of the speculators, who apparently control the ticket eftua- tion entirely? Or have you. bought one of the numberless counterfelts now on Here are FACTS! All of best of the reserved seats for the Giant-Athletic series to the number of at least 20,000 have been secured by specu- lators. They were:selling them BEFORE the club’s regular sale b A Certain big ticket agencies were able, in some unexplained manner, to get control of tickets in big blocks, Ticket speculators bought up the tiok- ‘ ‘Sure, but I only want the dest seats ets at advanced prices.

Jack McInnis, the crack young first baseman of the Athletics and one of the cogs in their defense and offense that was expected to prove a big factor in determining the world's series against the Giants, won't play to- day or in any game of the series because of his injured wrist, which has failed to respond to treatment as fast as predicted. Stuffy, seen at the hotel where his team ée etopping, cried when asked regarding his chances of playing to-day. He ie the youngest major league player and had been counting on playing in such an important series for months, When the Goctor told him yesterday tha: he wouldn’t be able to use his wrist with- out danger of injuring it permanently he was the most disappointed chap im the country. Harry Davis, the veteran player, who was on the initial bag when the New Yorks played the Athletics before, will take McInnis‘ place, and the substitution is bound to slow up the infleld immeasurably, as his age has sertously impaired his usefulness, Tex Rickard, Famous Fight Promotor, Back May Try to Secure Big Heavy-|] Boxing SHOWS TO-NIGHT. weight Match for Argen- At Fairmont A.

There is only one thing needed to make the year 1911 the greatest in the history of the National League, and that is to have the Giants win the world's championship.
