A morning crowd of fair proportions had
the 0orrowful experience Of seeing the New
Yorks beaten by the Phnadelphias yester-
day,Jbu In the afternoon as big an attendance
a. the Polo Grounds ever fenced In saw the
New Yorks win impressively all che way.
There was not room enough In the grounds
to accommodate all OF the perfervid cranks
who took advantage OF the holiday to 20
a-MRyinE TO the ball park. The gates were
shut down at twenty minutes after ) o'clock.
for the seating capacity Of the arena was then
full TO the bursting point. The closing OF
the gates in the face OF clamOrtng hundreds
on the outside was not without its difficulties.
The panel OF one of the 90 cent admission
doors was smashed In by the pressure from
without.
IL was a delightful day for baseball. and
all went well enough in the afternoon until
there was q sudden overflow from the tightly
damned denlsens Of the left field seats. A
man Jumped over the rampant TO the neld
below, and In another second scores were
following the lead of this intrepid pioneer.
It was q human WATERFALL Niagara, = Min

to induce the jumpers TO stay where they
were we're as leaps OF gra%sshoppers against

1t was only a few minutes before game
time when the cataract from the ~altitudinous
bleacher broke loose. aud as the teld WAS
quickly overrun there was n delay OF hull
an hour before the Gro Wd was sufficiently
in subsection for play to begin. AZ TO the
wire screen that was to hold people
in check. dozens clambered over that from
the right field bleachers and Joined those from
across the meadow in scampering out Oh
the grass. Several women. scorninR the
hampering nature Of their attire, scaled the
screens, and for those who did not take the
hurdle easily there were willing male hands
to assist in clearing the barrier.
1t was not long before there was q solid
ring OF spectators all the way around the field
in front Of the stands and back field fence.
Those who seated themselves on the turf
in the outheld were all right and made no
trouble. but there were many among those
who rushed for vantage points near the front
of the grand stand who cared for nobody
but themselves. They would neither cit
down nor fall back. What few uniformed
peace preserveTs there were on hand were
altogether unable TO force the crowd back.
The crowd was nearly up to the base lines
and was very stubborn about relinquishing
an inch OF ground, though to play while they
were there was out OF the question.
They could get police on these grounds

iRnoramus, who was as much In the way as
anybody. The club gAtemen and other en-
ployees came to the assistance OF the Pinks.
but there we're not enough persons TO ac-
complish anything by force. Moral suasion
was the agent that at length Induced the
serried ranks to retreat q few yards. Phil
Sei1as went out on the field and informed
the people that there would be no game until
they made room for one. He did a good deal
toward convincing them OF the need OF moving
back-he and Fred Knowles and the players

card boys and every other Kind OF temporary
policeman obtainable.
The players benches were no good TO them
being obscured by the crowd IN front. and
the players had to camp out on the grass not
far from the home plate. The crowd was
orderly enough, once, the eltuatlon OF its
