A genuine Indian summer day greeted
the players and spectators today, and
the fans turned out by thousands The
crowd, however, was somewhat smaller
than that of yesterday, but every avail
able seat in the stands and bleachers
was occupied an hour before the con-
test began. The gates opened at 1890
d. m. and the crowd, which had been
patiently waiting for several hours on
the outside, began to rush through the
gates. N
An hour before 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 base
lines and at the outskirts of the field.
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 tomorrow.
