Cots and blan kets hae been secured to be used if t ;e Jump's of Chattanooga prove iu Actuate to house all of the vetorans. r These cots will be placed iu steam . jilted buildings for the most part to guard against a possible low temper ature or a cold wave; but the weather records of Chattanooga show that good weather usually prevails it; this territory the last of October and the first of November; so but little fear is entertained on that score.

He said that the com paratively light attendance on the op ening day had been caused by the at tempt to protect the public against the scalpers. The choice seats of the entire upper deck of the grand stand were disposed of at the grounds on the day of each game with the pur pose of insuring good locations to those who were not disposed to fall victims to the speculators. The public didn't quite catch the idea on the first day, and, consequently, there were lots of empty seats in the upper stand. SOLDI Kit RELIEF TO BE STRESSED Iudiauapolis, lnd., Oct. 19. Na tional headquarters of the American legion announced today that it is ex- jpected that the legion will, in its third I annual convention at Kansas City be ginning October 31, reaffirm its stand for adjusted compensation for veter ans. Headquarters predicts that the !convention will lay plans for a "fight to the finsh" on that issue before congress and that it will take steps to relieve distress among 900,000 ex service men who are reported to be unemployed. More than 1,000 voting delegates will bo presnt, representing 11.000 posts of the legion. Preparations have been made to care for 100,000 oiu-of-towa visitors in Kansas City during the convention. A survey of legion sentiment throughout the country as expressed in instructions to delegates and in ac tions by state and county conventions of th legion reveals says the announce ment the following additional issues on which it is likely the national le gion assembly will declare itself. It is held certain at headquarters that immediate action will be taken for temporary if not permanent re lief of the jobless veteran. A nation al committee of the organization has been making a study of relief mea sures following a country-wide sur vey. It is affirmed by some member of the l?gion that passage of the Sweet bill creating the Veterans Bureau, has not fully overcome all the diffi culties which have preventd disabled men from obtaining all their rights, and this question will 1 .msidered. In each of the 14 regional uistricts of the Veterans' Bureau a representative of the legion has been assisting the bureau in adjusting points between posts and individuals. These repre sentatives will be able to present to the convention reports showing just what the new bureau is or is not do ing. Further plans for obtaining pas sage of the federal adjusted compen sation bill are to be considered. Le gion representatives say that almost every state convention since the re commitment of the measure has pas; ed resolutions of firmest support for its policy of pushing the bill. The or ganization's national legislative com- dollar had commenced on a large mittee will present a report on the subject with recommendations for further procedure. The convention, it is expected, will consider the question of limitation of armaments in view of the importance of the international conference in Washington opening Armistice day.

John A. Heyd ler, president of the National league, yesterday expressed dissent from the conclusion of Judge Landis, high com missioner of organized baseball, that events had shown a nine-game sched ule for the world's series to be too long. Commissioner Landis in a statement made after the final game on Thursday had announced his in tention of advocating at the joint ses sion of the major leagues in the coin ing winter the reduction of t)i num ber of games to a possible seven, the winner of four contests to be declared the victor. "This will be done," said Judge Landis, "in the belief that it is very generally accepted that the ideal world's championship is decid ed by the winning of four games, as was the rule prior to 1919. The pres ent lengthy series overtaxes' the pa tience of the public." Commenting upon the words of the Judge, Mr. Heydler said: "As a mem ber of the advisory council I don't care to take issue this early with Com missioner Landis. Yet I cannot help recalling clearly the unsatisfactory nature of a seven-game series, and that it was chiefly, almost entirely, in response to public sentiment In the matter that we were constrained nearly three years ago to extend the series to nine games. It was for the sake of the game itself that the action was taken. It having become evident that the all-around strength and class of a team sometimes failed to be brought out and to tell its story In a seven-game series. i "Instances have arisenand will readily be recalled by; followers of illlllllli PUFF UP WE HAVE YOUR FAVORITE SMOKE Next time you want a real honest-to-goodness Smoke, step into this shop and name your favorite brand.
