(By l'edcral WirelessTelegiaph.)
NHW YOItlC, October f. (Spceial to The Advertiser) It was
slated today that there has been received at the New York Club niort
than thirty thousand applications for the eight' thousand available
reserved scats for the world's series games. " "
This number is 6utside and in addition to the number that woie
allotletl lo the various club magnates, players and league officials
The seats aie juiced at three dollars eaeh per game ow a total of $T2
for the reserved seats for the three-game series. ;,)'
It was learned today that 27djOO(J had 1ecnrecjujved in cash and
certilicd checks fin.ui alixious hlus'ltsking for reserrbd seats at games.
Itcie. Cheeks and cash continued to pour ittitoday and it is expected
that at least 22o,000 will have to bo' returned by the New
York Club. Notice that every reserved scat had already been dis
posed of was posted before noon today by John H. Foster, secretary
of the New York Club. The remaining seats in the grandstands and
the bleacheis will be put on sale at the polo grounds Tuesday morning.
Hutting' on the result of the scries continues to ho desultory and
in small amounts. This is due, brokers say, tp the fact that many
of those wishing to place bets prefer to wait until the battel ies for
the first game arc announced.
"GIANTS WILL GIVE ATHLETICS ARGUMENT
OF THEIR LIVES," SAYS MANAGER M'GRAIAI
(By Federal Wireless Telegraph.)
NKW YORK, October 5. (Special to The Advertiser) John J.
McGraw said today, "Our team is playing snappy, aggressive ball
at ptcscnt and it is my opinion that we have a better chance fot
premier honors than we did in 1911 against the Athletics or in 1912
against Boston. I beliove the team is stronger and that the playeis
are in better condition.
"We have a few cripples and our rest after cinching the pennant
will put all the men in the best of shape for a hard fight.
"I have a very high opinion of Connie Mack and realise that it
will be a stubbornly contested series. Mack has an able assistant
in Harry Davis and these two generals will (get all there is out of
their men. With Denial ee in form, he will be a hard proposition
to beat. Tesreau is also going well. While "Matty" is always at
his best in a close battle. Marquard won two of the contests last
year and should pitch well.
"No, I cannot inake even a guess at present who will twirl the
fiist game. Ah for the Atjiletiqs' pitchers, Bender and Plank are
veterans and these two have been the main standby of a hard campaign.
Coombs will be missed by Mock. We will be in the fight
ft om start to fiiiisli and the Giants will give the Athletics the argument
of their lives for the honors."
WE HAVE GREATEST HITTERS EVER BROUGHT
SAYS MANAGER MACK OF ATHLETICS
(By Federal Wireless Telegraph.)
HIIIHADELI'HIA, October 5. (Special to The Advertiser)
"Connie" Mack said today:
"I -am fully confident that the Athletics -will wear the title of
world's champions. We have the greatest team of hitters ever
In ought together. "Eddie" Collins is among the leadeis with a great
average of .1111 while Baker hub hit for .329, Mclnncs for .316 and
Amos Strunk and "Eddie" Murphy for more than .290. With five
of' my regulars so close to the honor olass, I have nothing to fear as
tegaids hitting.
"In fielding, well, I am satisfied on that score. Schnng will do
the catching for the Athletics in tho series. He is one of the greatest
finds I ever picked up. 'Although Jack Barry docs not rank
among the leading batters of the American League, being only about
a ,260 hitter, he is one of the most dangerous men ever connected
with baseball when it conies to delivering, an odd hit.
In pitchers I am relying on Chief Bender, Eddie Flank and Shaw-key,
who performed well sinee I took him up from Baltimoie. Bender
and Plank aie at present in better condition than they weie
when the 1911 scries opened.
"I expect the series to be an extremely close one but I fully believe
that the Athletics will be the victors."
