Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURG, October off possible the
crowd which assaied the portals of
Forbes Field this morning in an endeavor
to crowd into the one-mllion-dollar ball
park to witness the second game of the
series for the championship Of the base
ball world. for which the teams of Pitts
burg. representing the National League,
and Detroit, the winner of the pennant of
even larger than that which stormed the
gates to see the opening game played.
Thousands of adherents of the bat and ball
once more clamored without the gates
fortunate ones to be on the inside of
the big gates when dt was necessary to
close these because..eS bit OF room
within was occupied.
Camping Out All Night.
All night long many Of those who had
been disappointed in their quest Of yes
terday waited near the entrances to be
as near the front as possible when the
inlets were finally flung back and the
throng permitted to rush noisily for the
choice seats, from which to watch the
second days struggle for the highest hon.
ors attainable In the world Of the bat and
ball.
The chill air of the night was endured
by the camping fans without a murmur.
Some had come with wraps of all kinds
and descriptions Blankets, wrapped
about them in Indian fashion; sweaters
and great coats, all were brought into
use, and had it not been for the vigilance
of the extra force of police it is a safe
bet that the street in front OF the grounds
would have been the scene of many bon
fires. Those who were unfortunate or neg
lectful enough to come without such
comforts were aided, II only in a small
way, by those who had them, for be it
understood there is no crowd so congenial
as a base ball gathering. The fans look
upon one another as members Of the
one big family.
Through the long night the rooters
lounged about. A few even lay down on
> the sidewalk near the fence and snatched
few winks of sleep.
But the scene just outside the ball park
was not the only one to claim the at
tention Of those seeking the extraordinary
feature connected with the playing of this
history making event in the annals of
sport. The city itself slept but little 1t
retired late from the discussion Of play
of yesterday and the first break of day
found 1t wide awake again. with Forbes
Field as the center of its activity.
Holiday for the City.
Only business which could not possibly
-
. city fathers might as we'll have declared
October municipal holiday. The ma
jority OF the business houses suspended
toll, that their employees might try to see
the game. In turn, the employees worked
into the early hours Of the morning to get
as much of their work finished as was
possible. And sall this In response to the
call OF the national pastime.
But there was a reason for II all in q
way. After the victory of the Pirates yes
terday the fans of this city were harbor-
ing the hope that the locals would make a
clean sweep that they would win this aft
ernoOn's game and those in Detroit Mon
day and Tuesday. If such should prove
the case. then no more matches will be
played here. and every Pittsburger
whether he be fan or not is anxious to
see the two championship teams in action.
closely for any length OF time figure THAT
the Pirates have their hardest fight still
I'm front of them. They will find II harder
to win before the antagonistic crowds of
Detroit.
Pirates Greeted With Cheers.
Manager Clarke wore a confident smile
as he led his team upon the field Each
member of the team was roundly ap-
plauded. but the lions share of the cheer
ing was centered upon Leach. Clarke
Wagner and Gibson, the heroes of the
first battle.
Clarke again refused to make a definite
announcement Of his pitcher, but 1t was
expected lie would send In Howard Cam
nitz, who Is just recovering from an at.
tack of throat trouble. Maddox and viii.
lis also worked out before the game. anG
there was chance that either of them
might be sent in II Camnitz failed tt
warm up well enough to please Manager
Clarke's eXacting eye.
Manager Jennings OF Detroit refused tt
take a pessimstic view of the situation
and he and his men came on the fiel6
with a jaunty air.
They were determined to win today, q.
they knew another defeat would practt
cally put them out of the running for the
greatest honors in organized base ball
