hills that overlook the field had been secured
by Spectators. who had built stout ratings
and who stood at the gates to collect admis-
sion money. Those who were willing 30 pay a
dollar for admission and take their chances to
find seat. began to arrive at ~ o'clock. They
started early to avoid the rush which they
knew was coming and by their common fore
sight were subjected to Just as much crushing
and jostling as were those who came three
hours later. Nevertheless they were glad that
they had come so early. for ut / o'clock there
