History used to make us think vice presidents were more than common mortals, Then, too, we have one specimen who has not yet reached history—that is to sav, he is still here to speak for himself—Mr. Roosevelt. Why not Champ Clark for tlie vice presidency on the next Democratic ticket —Wilson and Clark, Wood- row Wilson and Champ Clark? Every reader and thinker who has watched the march of events has seen by every test that has been made that the nation’s mind is turned to Woodrow Wilson in preference to any other man, Democrat or Repub lican, whose name . is thought of as a presidential possibility. A poll of the people’s representatives in the na tional congress snowed un der every other Democratic and every Republican pos sibility. A poll of every congres sional district in the United States by a leading maga zine, taking names entirely at random, showed even more overwhelming senti ment for Woodrow Wilson. Polls of state legisla tures, polls of colleges, polls of law schools and of every kind give but one answer— Woodrow Wilson. Unless, then, Democracy just insists on refusing to take tlje reins of govern ment it would seem that there is no room for debate as to who shall lead the ticket.

There was Just sufllclent tang In the air to cause the blood to tingle, little or no wind, and a bright autumn aun beaming softly down. Despite the fact that only admission tickets remained to be sold a line of fans began forming outside the gates of the Polo grounds last night, and by dawn comprised 2,600 sleepy men and boys. There waa a thrill—an electric ex citement—In the air, which ia not en gendered by any other sport. The knowledge that both teams were the pink of condition for the opening contest, that the rival managers were both sure of victory, and that all.ar rangements had been made for what all the experts had predicted would be the most bitterly contested struggles In the long history of the sport, creat ed a trinity of elements that added Im measurably to the ordinary lure of the national sport. Betting on the Game. Betting became livelier today as the hour approached for the two aggrega tions of gladiators to line up In battle array. Hundreds of visitors came from Boston, thousands from Philadelphia, others from Pittsburg, Chicago. Wash ington and doxens of other cities.' It seemed that each fan brought a pleth oric roil to wager on his favorite team.

Victory In the initial contest meant a big Jump on tlie odds which were bound to shult materially In favor of the winning team.

However, this was merely surmise, as nothing official will rtniauvqiiiin sports maintained that the honor of twirling the first game would fall to Coombs. The pitching staff of both teams were In excellent condition- anyone of the mound artiste being In perfect shape to go Into the box. Fans at Polo Grounds. By 8 o'clock this morning the line of clamorous fans outside the Polo grounds had grown to such an extent that the 230 foot and mounted police under In spector McCloskey could scarcely re strain them. Inside the grounds a regi ment of private detectives were gather ing to handle the crowds after the gates were opened. Among those who fought and Jostled were hundreds who gave faint utterance to their opinion of the manner In which the sent sale had been conducted. Cries of graft were heard constantly and ever}- speculator was greeted with yells of derision, despite tjie fact that every one of them found a ready market for his tickets at enormously swollen prices. Altho the game was not scheduled to begin until 2 o'clock, the sale of admis sion tickets began at 7 o'clock, and it was decided to open the gates to the hleurhers at 9 o'clock. The xize.of the mighty crush and the fact that the mob about the vast stadi um gradually grew in size early, made It certain that all records for hall at tendant* would be shattered. The Polo grounds have a seating ca pacity of 11,000. according to Secretary Gray, of the New York club, and the early turn not of fane made It evident that every inch of available space would be packed with humanity. On Ceogan’s Roost, Roosting high on Coogan'a bluff, rocky promontory rising on the weet side of the grounds, were hundreds of men and boys, their number growing Into thousands hourly.
