Of 100 in line at the ticket offices as
early as $780,

block in length, and was growing
longer every minute. Despite every
effort made for the accommodation Of
a record breaking attendance, it Is
probable many Thousands will not be
able to gain admission to the games.
Il Over 1000 general admission tickets
will be placed on sale at double the us
ual rates, and It Is believed these will
be exhausted within two hours after
the ticket offices open.
The weather does not promise to he

dark, with a strong breeze blowing
from the north. The game commenced
at 2:30.
BY noon there were 5000 men and
women lined up at the gates awaiting
their opening, and the crowds were
rapidly Increased as the time for the
beginning Of the game approached.
Good humor seemed to prevail on all
sides, and there were as many Arneri-
can rooters as their We're National
fans.
Noticeable, was the presence Of large
numbers cf women In the linesNt the
main gates. Many OF the early comers
were Of the fairer sex, and they were
az enthusiastic as the mem All carried
GONE emblem denoting their choice OF
the teams.
So thoroughly had the management
arranged everything that there was
absolutely no hitch in any department.
Expert ticket dispensers wore employ
ed, and the way they took in the money
and handed out admission tickets was

their capacity, Similar conditions weio
noticeable in the left field bleachers,
occupied by friends of the American
team. The roofing, even at this hour.
was something fearful. One could
hardly hear himself talk, and the army
/. OF operators in the press stand, found
1t hard work to hear the clicking Of
their instruments.
At K o'clock slight drizzie began to
fall, driving many handsomely gowned
women to shelter. At times, flakes Of

house. they were recognized and cheer
ed until they disappeared.

champions entered the GROUNDS. tren
the reception they received. one would
have thought the entire audience was
with them to man. A man with
cornet stepped up to the home plate
and played There Will BE a Hot
Time, The rooters joined in, and it
was one grand cheer. Every member
OF the American team was robed in a
new suit, from stockings to caps.
The official announcement this aft
ernoon that George Davis would not
appear as silortstop for the White Sox,
and that Rohe would play In his place,
was considered as point In favor Of
the Cubs. Davis Is trlfle better
