Weather Ideal.
Weather conditions could not have
been better. A bright sun developed
an atmosphere of summer, tempered
somewhat by a light breeze.
Thousands Of persons moved on Fen
way park early today to join the hun
dreds who had held places during tie
night in lines that led to the bleacher
entrances. The first few arrived at
noon yesterday; by nightfall the wait
ing numbered score; at midnight the
line was 200 strong, and as the sun
rose there were more than 500 people
in six lines. Some slept in the ground,
others had brought straw and some
had equipped themselves with COM
forts.
There were nearly 10000 rush seats,
5000 of which were to be had for fifty
cents each. The others sold for 81.
1t was required that the purchaser en-
ter the grounds Immediately and pre-
clude speculation.
We've got the jump on the Athletics
and they never can get up enough
speed to catch US now" said Manager
Stallings of the Bostons before the
game. They never have seen Tyler in
action, and Rudolph is ready if we need
him today. Bender can't come back
so soon and if he does, we will beat
him gain. There is only the Athletics
second string artillery to stop u.s.
I'VE have not been hitting" said
Captain Ira Thomas of the Athletics,
and any team looks feeble when it is
not getting in solid blows. Watch lis
today Our club is not the one to take
a third straight beating
Boston was baseball crazed today.
Hundreds swarmed all night at the
gates of Fenway park. Within an
hour after the unreserved stands flung
open, every seat was taken and scores
lined the backfield fences and pressed
against a guard fence erected around
the rear of the outf1eId. Once the
crowd broke the wooden barrier and
mounted police had to drive the people
back into the enclosure. All this was
three hours before game time. When
the crowd was not surging it was
cheering. Outside the fences, unable
to gain admittance, thousands clam
ored. The gates were closed, how
ever, and barred by the police.
An Indian summer day was fur
nished for the contest. The sun glowed
brightly in a clear sky and the air was
balmy. The playing field was dry and
fast
Betting was 10 to on the Bostons
to take the series. Wagers at these |
odds were made at noon.
Batting practice was lively. Gowdy, !
heavy hitter Of the first game, smashed |
a ball into the temporary stands while |
Connolly, Baker and Collins sent fast |
liners toward the left field stands |
where the spectators tried to secure |
the balls for souvenirs.
Fielding practice was mechanically |
perfect and executed with a snappi- |
ness that stirred the spectators to ap- |
plause. Meanwhile and Evers, Barry j
and Collins worked around the mid |
field section, made sensational scoops
and stops.
