at the right Of the grand stand. The
noise that came out of this musical
instrument shook the "bleachers" several
hundred feet hypotenuse-ward away.
Something like 10000 people occupied
the grand stand, pavilion to the right
and the "bleachers" to the left, the whole
forming right angle. About every
other man on the "bleachers" was pre-
pared for the occasion and the noise that
came from that portion of the grounds
most of the time was enough to awaken
the dead. The circus opened the
moment after Heffers of the Baltimores
sent the ball like a bullet toward the
plate. Jess Burkett, the champion bats
man of the world, hit the first ball
pitched clear into the center field for a
single. The "rooters" rose en- masse and
nearly split thaU throats. But the noise
wasn't comparison with the excite
ment which followed McKean's line hit
to the right, which brought Burkett
across the plate and the first score for
Cleveland. 1t seemed as ii Bedlam had
broken loose. TIN horns, cow bells,
gongs, whistles, rattle boxes and the
dickens knows what, played upon with
all the strength Of thousand upon
thousands of humans, added to the yells
emitted from many more thousand
throats, produced din the like of which
the writer never saw equalled. To add
to the noise one gang of cranks had lot
of cannon fire crackers, which they
would throw at opportune times into the
field. The efforts of the "rooters" were
mostly aimed to rattle Hoffer. the Balti-
more pitcher. When tho Clevelands
were Mt the bat the din would last all
through the inning and the noise would
be so deafening that Hoffer couldn't hear
the umpire call the balls and strikes.
But Of course this is the only manner in
which player can be interfered with.
/ The field is clear of every man except the
4 two nlnes and the umpires and the
stands are back far enough to never in
terfere with the players. A player who
cannot stand the noise and guying OF
the 'rooters" is not the man for the
place. The league mines use two UNI
ipires usually one to call balls and strikes
and the other umpires for the field. The
latter stands at first bnse until a runner
reaches there, then he goes back to

he stands behind the catcher always
not back Of the pitcher. as some OF onl
western amateurs do.
