passed through the entrances without un-
tying their purse strings. The usual SUNDAY
process OF selling score cards at the gates
was adopted.
From the four points OF the compass came
the people, via l. road. trolley and shanks
mare. Some waited patiently In line at the
main entrance. while others hustled AROUND
for other points OF ingress. When some
body connected with one Of the two clubs
would stick his head out Of the once window
and call attention to other gates where there
was less OF a crowd waiting. there would be
a rush for that spot. Charles Ebbets. the
BROOKLYN club president. decided after
while. 20 great was the waiting list OUTSIDE
that il would be well TO open the carriage
gateA When the sliding gates just 10 the
rightNof the main entrance were forced open
and the crowd there admitted free, there
was rush that nearly carried Ebbets on
his feet. Some OF these skipped up through
the ONCE and thus found their way into the
grandstand free. other deadheads went IN
through the carriage gate on the Third street
side and encamped on the field.
When the stands held all the people they
could hold the overflow was admitted TO the
field. The field was completely surrounded.
A number OF nimble Rymnasts found van
tage points on top Of the fence which separates
the teams dressing room from the field,
and q number roasted on top OF the right held
fence where their ability as equlibrlsts was
put 20 the test. The crowd INSIDE the gIounus
