BOTH TEAMS PREPARE
F0RrHIST0RYING
SERIES; ODDS CLOSE
By HAMILTON,
(United ' Press Staff Correspondent)
Boston. Oct. 7. As the Nation
waited with expectant ear, the Brook
lyn Dodgers and Boston Red Sox met
here today in a collision whose re
sounding smack will be heard from
Maine to California. ,' Under - ideal
weather conditions,' with indications
pointing to a crowd of 40,000 or more,
the winners' Of the American and Na
tional League pennants, met for th
first game of the world's series on the
Braves' field at 2 o'clock this after
noon. '
Never in "baseball history have two
championship teams met in baseball
classic after such wild scrambles for
honors as they gained. . Both were de
termined to put up one gosh-awful
fisrht.
- (Robe Marquard, cast off by the
New York" Giants, but the. idol of
tie Brooklyn fans, was probably to
pitch the ' opener. Leonard was the
probable ' mound choice for Boston .
Babe Ruth and Carl Mays, the un
derhand 4 twirler, ' also were possible.;
'"Marquard defeated the Red. Sox in
' he 1912 series when with the Giants.

pennant winners have met in world
aeries contests every -year since 1903

.The series is for four out of seven
cames. The national commission has
full charge of th egames. It collects
B money from the "gate and divides

: National Commission. The Cpmmis-
awn' appoints the official scorers for
th games and decides the prices of!
admissioa; The schedule" 'of' "earn
batters out in one, two, three
Boston, all down with no run,
is arranged under its supervision.
Money from the first four games is
divided three ways:
Sixty per cent to the players, 10
per cent, to the Commission and 30
per cent, to the club owners, to be
split evenly between the clubs. The
60 per cent, which goes to the play
ers is cut 60 per cent, to the win
ning team and 40 per cent, to the los
ing team. After the first four games
all of the money received with the
exception of the Commission's ten
per cent, goes to the club owners for
a fifty-fifty split. The players share
in only the first four games.
Prices for this year's games are $5
far box seats, $3 in the grandstand,
$2 pavilion and $1 general admission.

The Dutch Convinced That
Peace Is a Long Way Off.
Germany Has Faith in
Arms Neutrals Consid

By CARL W. ACKERMAN,
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
The .Hague, Oct. 7 The Dutch gov
ernment only two months ago sound
ed the European belligerents on the
prospects for peace, the United Press
is informed. Evory belligerent ex
cept France expressed willingness to
enter into Informal discussions.
France's reply was such a fiery refu
sal that it was described as "almost
an ultimatum."
Holland has not resumed the ne
gotiations, convinced that peace is
distant.
A wide chasm of opinion is appar
erj' among the belligerents regarding
the conditions of the others. Copen
hagen, tremendously anti-Germr.n, be
lieves Germany is about to fall to
pieces. Reports are heard of unrest,
starvation, and lack of soldiers. The
Danes also believe , the Allies in the
Somme offensive have met with a
great success, as does The Hague.
Berlin maintains faith in the army.
Everybody keeps maps and follows
the course of " the "fighting. The
streets of Berlin and "all other big
itie3 in Germany aro crowded with
soldiers all the time, ' refuting the
statement that Germany has exhaust
ed her reserves. Germany believes
Britain is lacking in soldiers. "The
Allies are losing 5,000 a day," the
average German points out.
United States Not Hopeful.
Washington, Oct. 7. The likeli
hood of the United States acting as a
prominont factor in bringing about
peace in Europe is dwindling daily,
is the general belief in official cir
cles. However, peace talk is being
revived by Gerard's return to the
United States from E'arlin despite
Von Bornstorff's denial.

More than a score of fiddlers, ban-

them from quite a distance, partici
pated in an old-time "fiddlers' con
vention" in the Courthouse Friday
night Never was anything mora en
joyable pulled off here. Some of the
contestants were old in years; but all
were young in spirit Laughter and
rollicking backwoods music prevailed
from 8 until 11 p. m. The expenses
were quite heavy, but notwithstanding,
the receipts were large enough to
leave a handsome little profit, which
was turned over by the management
to the United Charities. $ Deputy
Sheriff H. V, Allen was An supreme
command; Register of Deeds Carl
Pridgen was the t¬mcer; CoL'H. E.
Shaw, Policeman J. W. Taylor and
Mr. Wm. Hayes, superintendent of
the Carolina R. R.. were ths judges.
Not content with ths fiddling and ban
king and dancing, the promoters bad
m hand a "scrub' band, which prov
ed not to be a scrub band at all.
Some of ths participants laughed
steadily throughout their little skits.
It wai sttnahmo occasion. Fiddler'
and dancers smiles outshone the ar
tificial illumination of men punty lit

drawback two fiddlers proved to be
violinists and rendered "educated" mu

after they had delighted the large
audience with a number of very good
