POLO, GROUNDS, New York, Oct.
Sat one o'clock more than $4,000
had crowded into the polo grounds to
witness the first game of the world
series between the Red Sox and the
Giants. At that time, one hour before
the time for the game to begin, there
were large blocks of empty reserved
seats and there were still few va
cant seats in the bleachers. There was
a mild wind sweeping over the field,
but the chill of this was tempered by
bright sun.
The final rush of the day began
shortly before one o'clock and from
that time on there was a continuous
onward rush of fans and fanettes
which showed the full capacity of the
ground would be required.
The Giants took the field for prac-
tice shortly after / o'clock and some
sharp work brought the enthusiastic
fans to their feet with cheers. Joe
Wood and Cady were announced as
the battery for Boston. Tesreau and
Myers were the battery announced for
the Giants. The Red Sox began their
practice at 1920 and exercised their
batting eyes by hammering the ball
to all parts Of the field and the Giant
rooters We're visibly impressed.
When Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston
took his seat with the Boston fans he
was given a royal welcome.
