lows:
Both teams are in New Y'ork ready for the first game.
All of the 44 eligible players are reported to be In fine fettle with
one exception—first baseman Mclnnie of Philadelphia whose Injured wrist
may keep him put of the game. Pitchers were not chosen tonight or if
they were neither manager would divulge his choice.
Tiokets to the series, though still to be had, are mainly In the handa
f speculators who are charging exorbitant prices.
Disclosure that speculators had obtained great blocks of tickets pre-
cipitated a tremendous row between the enthusiasts.
Vague charges were made of mail robbery in connection with the
ticket scandal.
All Is ready at the polo grounds for a crowd of nearly 50.000 per-
sona, the largest that ever saw a baseball game.
So determined were some that they formed in line at the grounds

Umpires—Choice of two from
Klem and Brennan of the National
league and Connelly and Dlneen of
the American league.
The twenty-two Philadelphia play-
ers picked as eliglbles arrived in New
York tonight. The party was headed
by Manager Connie Mack accom-
panied by the wives of a majority of
the players and a few Philadelphia
enthusiasts.
Mclnnls May Not Play.
All the men look In the pink of
condition and in but one exception
did looks belie the truth. The ex-
ception was "Stuff yV Mclnnls, the
Philadelphia star ftrst-saeker. Will
Mclnnls play? The question was one
thing which arose for discussion as
a small party of New York friends
met the Philadelphia players when
they stepped off their train at the
Philadelphia station shortly after six
o'clock.
Bib "Chief" Bender answered
"Stuffy won't play." He can't with
such a wrist as he's got."
Krause and a number of his team-
mates said the same. Mclnnis him-
self did not know, but plainly show-
ed some worry over his wrist which
has not responded sufficiently to
treatment since it aws injured three
weeks ago.
Connie Mack was seen in a smil-
ing mood after dinner with liis men.
• Ail I can say is that we are here,
and will do our best to win."
• Will Mclnnls play? I can't say
tonight, but it is doubtful. "Will
Davis. Strunk or Derrick take his
place?"
"Now I didn't say anything last
year the night before the game as
to our lineup," he replied, "and I
cannot tonight."
It was stated in quarters close to
the management that Harry Oa^8-
the veteran first baseman would take
hi sold position if Mclnnis was un-
able to play.
"Who will pitch?"
The problem was as hard to solve
tonight as the picking of tomorrow's
winner.
"There will be no night before an-
nouncement."," Insisted Mack.
Bender, Coombs and Plank stood
about the hotel lobby and in the face
of their leader's pronouncement none
of the trio would give the slightest
clue as upon whom the choice would
fall. "It may be any of us," said
Bender.
The Philadelphia players came to-
night to avoid the rush of enthus-
iasts which is expected to tax the
capacity of trains tomorrow. They
stuck mainly to the hotel lobby In the
early evening and went to their
rooms early.
In the New York camp there was
the same reticence as to which pitch-
er would lie chosen. It depends on
a number of things, especially the
weather. Many of the enthusiasts
guess that if it is a cloudy day
Young Marquard, the hero of the
season, will be put in the box, as his
speed would show to more advantage
In the haze He Is more sensitive to
opposing ruling. It was said and
would pitch steadier at home than at
Philadelphia. The veteran Christy
Mathewson Is the ore fit. the en-
thusiasts figured, for facing the op-
ponents on their home grounds.
"All the men are in fine fettle,
said Manuger McGraw, "and they are
going ti. to win."
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.—The
American league champions received
a rousing send off from hundreds of
I peal enthusiasts at North Philadel-
phia station today when the team
l*ft for New York to defend their
title as champions of the \v®rld. The
players were cheered Individually j
and collectively and cries of "Go get
them, you white elephants, • and
other words of enthusiasm and en
couragement filled the air.
Of even greater importance, was
the question which has arisen among
the lot enthusiasts is how they are
going to get admittance to the game.
In spite of the fact that only four
seats to be sold to each applicant
and that the great majority attend-
ing purchasers were denied t.ie
privilege in the advance sale by the
club speeulatore appear to have an
almost unlimited supply of the paste-
boards. The regular ticket offices in
the big hotels here today were of-
fering seats not only for the local
games, but for the contests in New
York. The privilege paid was Ji
a seat for each game. Many of the
rooters who are going tomorrow to
cheer their favorites paid that price
to insure admittance to the polo
grounds.
President Shibe of the Philadel
phla club emphatically denied to
night that there had been and col
lusion with speculators in the local
sale of tickets.

Loafing Day lor
New York Giants
NEW YQRK, Oct. 13.—This was
loafing day for the New York Na-
tionals. All were reported in good
condition.
It was gossiped among the players
today that Manager McGraw would
not determine what pitcher he would
send to the mound until he had
looked ever the weather conditions
If the day is dark it Is thought by a
few that Marquard would be called
upon to pitch the opening game. I*
was figured that on account of Mar
quard's speed he would greatly baffle
the Phillies.
Odds of 6 to 6, and in Bom« in
stances 7 t) i on the Nationals'were
heard today, but even betting was the
rule. Some heavy wagers are ex-
pected tonight when the vanguard of
the Philadelphia crowds begin to
arrive.
Special details of police will be sent
this evening to the Polo grounds to
look after those who will camp out
all night near the bleacher tteket of-
fice to obtain seats offered for sale to-
morrow morning.
