NEW YoR IN. L.. 4: CHICAGO IN. L.. !.
The city shut UP shop yesterday afternoon
and went TO the ball game. It few strag-
glers sesn walking the streets While the game
was on were strangers. Everybody else was
up at the Polo Grounds seeing the New Yorka
sink the harpoon into the sensitive flesh OF
the Chicago Cubs. They sank it up to the
handle. not winning by a one sided score. but
having the writhing Cubs In their grasp
every minute of the game. The New Yorks
were the more aggressive and confident team
from the sound OF the bugle calling them to
action. and as things broke well for them at
the start and broke the other way for the
champions the New Yorks salted the game
away In the first inning. Chances men
played like a worried team. not like the one
time invincible Cubs
In the absence Of unofficial data on the
subject It is mere suesswork as to whether
the attendance was larger than at the Pitts
burg game two weeks ago. 1t may have
been more. It may have been less. IL was
controlled better. for one thing. and there
fore did not spread out and ramble about
as much. Still the additional barriers that
had been put UP did not entirely answer their
purpose. Several times where there was an
entrance or exit leading to the grass there was
q pressure that reached the bursting point.
and a consequent rush through or climb
over some opening or gateway to the playing
field. A sursing drove would push through
before an employee could hurry over and
stop up the gap.
All things considered. however. the crowd
gave less trouble than any other big crowd
since the days Of B~inehamized. oopless ball.
Probably that element OF the rootefs who have
little regard for others are beginning to learn
that the more they hold themselves In check
the better II will be for them. for the players
and for everybody else. There was q double
column Of standing spectators. those In front
being on the ground. those in the rear being
on benches and In between q lane through
which there was q constant shuf1ins back and
forth OF restless persons who couldn't get
Q good viewpoint In either division.
Up on the u yards to the north Of the ground
was something new. Three coaches had been
run on the tracks there overlooking the neld
to serve as observation cars, AL three were
hlLsd with onlookers. standing on the plat
forms and cranfng neoks out OF the windows.
They were close enough to see that the New
Yorks were winning. but not close enough to
nee the panied expressions that fitted across
the faces OF the Cubs or the joyful wave that
illumined the countcnances Of Sy Seymour and
his confr eres when BY plugged out what
really was the deciding hit Of the game In the
first inning.
