 Spectators have obtained no such large blocks of tickets as they were able to secure in Chicago last fall but men and boys holding from two to six tickets were sprinkled among the crowd demanding from s10 to s20 each for the coveted pasteboards. It is on record that an offer was made at the Hotel Schenley of $160 for eight tickets in row. Instances of outsiders pay ing from $8 to s15 were numerous.
 Hundreds of Pittsburg people took time by the forelock and bought tick cts from $1.50 to s2 each, intending to attend the games, found they could make from $15 to $20 on the invest ment and gave up their desire and offered their tickets for sale.
 Tremendous crowds came pouring in- to the city this morning. hopeful to the last for chance to see the game. Every train and suburban car was loaded to the roof with fans. Traffic on the downtown streets was serious sought in vain for some means of transportation to the ball park and for any kind of a ticket that would get them through the gates once they ar rived there.
 Secretary Locke of the Pittsburg club estimated the number of disappointed fans at 50000. At Forbes Field there was a police force numbering 200 and fairly good order was maintained de- spite the tumultuous onslaughter on he gates.

BIG LEAGUE NOTES
They're off at Pittsburg.

New York and. Boston. who finished in third place in the National and American Leagues. will contest this afternoon at the Polo Grounds in the first of a series of games to decide which is the better aggregation of ball players. While the betting is 10 to 8 on New York the reason of this is that Mathewson is scheduled to do the bulk of the pitching for the Giants. The Bostcn club. however. are very confident and declare they will win the championship handily. The games are under the direction of the National Commission and the division on the receipts will be the same as in other championship games.
 The faithful can be devouring the result at the eats this evening. The game being scheduled to make a start at two.
