bleachers was occupied an hour be-
fore the contest began. TIL gates were
opened at 1880 p. m. and the crowd,
which had been patiently waiting for
several hours on the outside, began to
rush through the gates. An hour be-
fore play began the crowd was so
large in the stands that the police
took positions about the field and the
people were seated along the first and
third base lines and at the outskirts
Of the field. ts
Ground rules were established,
making a hit into the crowd good for
two bases, but there was no occasion
for this.
It is probable that White will OPP
pose Donovan in the game today,
which decides the leagues pennant
winner
