Three thousand disappointed fans were on the verge of tears at 12.15 this afternoon when it was annoutved that the last of the 4,000 reserved seats for the first game to-morrow of the world series between the Giants and the Red Sox had been sold to earlier birds who had kept an all- night vigil at the Polo Grounds en- trance. When the gates were opened, a 9.10 o'clock, the waiting line stretched from the Polo Grounds entrance, at One Hundred and Fifty-seventh street and Eighth avenue, to One Hundred! and Fortieth street and Bradhurst avenue. between the two avenues. Three ticket windows were in opera- tion, but at only one ef them were tickets for the first game sold. At the others were dispensed respectively tickets for the second and third of the jants’ afternoons at home. Slowly joving forward, congested at the gate, hifting, dodging policemen, impor- tuning for haste, the crowd gradually Hied past the wicket, At 11 o'clock ere still remained 1,600 of the 4,000 served seat tickets, VANS WITH FICTITIOUS PULL TURNED DOWN. ‘The watchman at the private gate had his hands full with fans who of their turn by, al possible—and many impossible—pretex’s. Some had “letters” from John T. Brush, others said they came with special word from Secretary O[Brien; still others insisted they were relatives or intimate friends of players. But the private gate re- mained closed to all comers, regard- less of their alleged connection with the powers that be in baseball. ‘The fans’ vigil was kept from as carly as 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon wai the gates were opened to-day—for the line moved forward slowly and the tickets were dispensed as carefully as {f they had been banknotes. First in line was Thomas Brennan, a youth ving at No, 22% West Forty- eighth street. He was at the gate at 4 P. M. yesterday, but the honor of buying the first ticket was not for him.

GAYNOR RETURNS CALL, A Thousand Committeemen Greet Visitors on Steps of City Hall. Rear-Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, com- manding the xreat Atlantic feet of the United States Navy, now moopilizing in the Hudson River, came. ashore to-day and said “howdy” to Mayor Gaynor at the City Hall’ The Mayor assured the Admiral that he was glad to see him, and the Admiral said it certainly was g00d to be here. The whole proceeding lasted less than ten minutes, and was followed by a sim- far call of ceremony by the Mayor and the members of the Citizen's Commit- tee on the Admiral and hia staff aboard the flagship Connecticut, off the foot of Went Seventy-sixth atreét. At the conclusion of the pleasantries on the battleship the Mayor askeq the Admiral how he would Ike to see ball game. There was nothing the Ad- mira! thought he would itke better, so the boss ef the city and the boss of the fleet linked arms and went down the gangplank to head for the Polo Grounds, where the pennant-winning Glants and the neighboring Highlanders were to sive @ game which should at once be an entertainment for the visiting sall- ors and a warming-up practice for the Glants before they enter on the World's Series to-morrow. Most of the sailors of the fleet who get liberty had gone on ahead. FOG AT DAYBREAK MADE THE SHIPS INVISIBLE, When the day broke to-day the fog over the river was so heavy that the ships were not visible from shore Launches bearing messengers or men seeking newspapers popped out of tho fog and dived tnto it again at landings all the way from Grant's Tomb to Bightleth street. From each flagship of the four divi- sions of the battleship fleet launches cast off at half past nine o'clock and hustled down stream to the Connecti- cut, Rear-Admiral Bradley A. Fiske of the first division, Rear-Admiral N, .R. Usher of the second division, Rear-Ad- miral Cameron McR, Winslow and Rear-Admiral F, M, Fletcher of the fourth division waited until Rear-Ad- miral Osterhaus came down to his own launch with his staff and Capt, Hugh Rodman of the Connecticut and led a Mttle procesgioh to the foot of West- Twenty-third street. A squad of policemen was drawn np to escort them down, The naval offi- cers were greeted by Chairman Her- man Ridder of the M “s Committes, and Chairman John M, Finley, R. A, C, Smith, Lewis Nixon, Howard Carroll, Sanvfel Fairchild and Dr, George F. Kunz and others of the reception com- mittee.

Hart, his Justice Goff Overrules All Motions for Delay and Threatens to Put McIntyre Out of Court for Attacks on Whitman. FIRST JUROR CALLED IS A FORMER POLICEMAN. All Motions Made by the Defense for Delaying the Trial Are Promptly Overruled by the Court. HAROLD B. SKINNER, Manager of one of the Edison Company's elec- tric plants and whose residence is at No. 601 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, was late this afternoon selected as the first juror in the Becker case. He fs a son of a former State Superintendent of Instruction.» Over the protests of his lawyer, John F, Mcintyre, Police Lieuten- ant Charles Becker was forced this afternoon to go to trial on the charge of murder in the first degree for the killing of gambler Herman Rosen- thal. McIntyre had attempted to secure delay on account of the illness of John W. Hart, one of the counsel for Becker, but Justice Goff refused to delay the case, and Becker was ordered to the bar. The six gangsters—“Gyp the Blood,” “Dago Frank,” “Lefty ” “Whitie’ Lewis, Jack Sullivan and Shapiro, the chauffeur— Me Ts tor ros ccd bates, ee This was done as all seven names are included in the blanket indictment charging a conspiracy to murder Rosenthal, engineered by Becker and carried out by the four gun men. Four lawyers stood up with the seven alleged murderers when Mr. Whitman moved for the trial of Charles Becker separately. Hartford Marshall, counsel for Jack Sullivan, said he was ready to go to trial and desired to have Sullivan tried with Becker. This little move Was blocked when the District-Attorney made a special request that Becker be tried separately. This motion was granted and the policeman’s co-defendants were sent back to the Tombs. Becker was then formally called to trial and took his place within the rail beside his array of lawyers. tial 23 McINTYRE MAKES AN ATTACK ON TMAN. - The instant Becker was seated and the trial formally scheduled, John F, Mcintyre opened a battery of technical objections and made a wwrathy attack upon the District-Attorney. The lawyer let his emotions go so far that Justice Goff threatened to have him put out of the | courtroom, Mr. McIntyre’s first move was to seck an adjournment for a week be- sociate counsel, He spoke elo- quently of Mr. Hart’s illness, and when he had finished his plea the Court whispered a genial. mo . ey Becker's counsel disregarded the denial. ne “Certain circumstances,” he said, “have arisen that have made it tnf- possble for my client to get a fair trial at this time, I refer ¢o the mur der of Zellg. “The District-Attorney has made false and outrageous statements con- cerning the death of Zelig.” “This 1s no time for eloquence, Mr. McIntyre,” continued Justice Goff. The lawyer went on, his voice vibrating with passion: “The District-Attorney has charged that the death of Zelig removes an important witness for the prosecution when he well knew that Zelig"— “gtop,” cried the Court. “When he knew,” sald McIntyre, “that Zellg was a valuable witness for the defense.” Justice Goff rapped sternly with his gave! an? interrupted the lawyer. “A man of your experience should know better than this." Justice Goff's volee snapped. “It you do no the Court threatened, “I f@ you removed years ago, Mr, Whitman challenged talesman for implied bias and turned him over to MeIntyre, Becker’ counsel questioned the talesman a great length and challenged the charge of implied bias, Justice Goff overruled tho implication of Dias and the Dis- trict-Attorney challenged peremp- tortly, Becker, grown stout and somewhat pully since his incarceration, was cool enough when at frat arraigned with the sangmen under indictment with him, but when Justice Goff began to turn down the motiona of his lawyers an‘ th examination of talesmen began he ex- hibited extreme nervousness and acute w from the courtroom." “The ordinary course of justice has been betrayed,” continued Mr, M tyre, and then subsided suddenly when he saw Hix Honor'’s pink cheeks goiny pale with rage.
