Baseball writers assembled here in legion for the world series of 1927 were guileless enough Monday to write optimistically about the ticket situation and even about the weather. Then all bets were "coppered" when a roaring big ticket row and a rainstorm came over' the horizon together. The rain seems to be just about as wet -as that which made the series here a swimming tournament two years ago. The big fuss over the tickets appears to be something more than the annual squak ema? hatUig from the world series. Ticket speculators have blossomed suddenly everywhere, -with advertisements in the papers and apparently, with a fat share of choice tickets on hand.

FINANCIER SLIGHTED IN TICKET DEALING. The resulting uproar might have been just a pointless and futile protest, as usual, had it not been for the fffct that quite a individuals and interests who really sount were left out when the management began assigning tickets to the elect. Among these was the president of a Pittsburgh bank; whose certified check was returned with a curt letter saying there were no more tickets. This particular financier Is a power in Pittsburgh and he has promised to deal somebody a lot of misery in the vefy near future. One large block of tickets, this writer ascertained, went to a bis national corporation with headquarters in New York.

Powerful Pittsburgh politicians blazed up like a blast furnace when they heard about this. Barney Drey-; fuSj, o.wner of the Pirates, has the reputation of being one of the snutffest' men in baseball. His office a few days ago that every possible effort would be made to keep the tickets out of the hands of speculators and serve the first comers'. Nobody has been able to solve the ensuing muddle.
