BosroN, Mass. Oct. t0.-Boston has
seen some very unusual baseball in It's
time. The Hub has always been a
mecca for the great summer sport
even when major league representatives
were cursed with lean standings. Eight
thousand people some years z saw
Chick Stahl's Americans win their frst
game after something like nineteen
straight defeats. A city Of that spirit
needs no press agent.
Yet Boston never before has been
stirred to such a keen tone Of excite
ment az prevails tonight ~ the eve Of
the third game between the Red SoN
and Phiiiies for the baseball champion
ship OF the world. Nothing better could
have been calculated to spur the zeal
Of local fandom than those two games
In Philadelphia.
Boston this year did not send out
with Carrigan's entry as great "a repre-
sanitation as usual when the town was
blessed with n chance for a worlds
championship pennant. This c,rcum-
stance was not due to lack Of interest.
Supporters Of the club who would other
wise have made the journey to Phila-
delphia were scared on by the reports
OF the scarcity of tickets in Quaker
Town. Boston was forced to follow
the progress of the two games already
Slayed from the ticker and from the
,coreboards that were to be found in
profusion throughout the city. These
long distance observations served but
TO whet the appetite of the general
oitizenry for real action. now that the
opportunity Is offered.
Extra seats Erected.
Whichever pitcher may win to-mor-
rows game will win before the largest
crowd OF baseball history. Braves Field
is the most commodious park in this
country. Braves Field was crowded the
day OF it's inauguration last August, but
there will be many thousands more on
hand tomorrow. Sections OF temporary
seats have been erected in the outer
confines Of the playing field. These
circus stands will not encroach upon
the rights of the respective picket lines.
The playing area is still greater than
that Of the Polo Grounds the side
walls are further removed and home
runs or triples are possible In almost
any spot where they get past the out
felders to the barriers.
There is no doubt that the park will
be crowded to capacity both tomorrow
and Tuesday, for Boston rootcrs alone
could hlI the place IL street enthusiasm
amounts to face value. Besides, there
are far more visitors among the adj
vance guard than seen In former years.
New York and Philadelphia all day
and all night poured in their thousands.
The morrow will see thousands more
from the densely populated environs OF
this thickly populated country.
troui what already has shown on the
surface there should he less annoyance
from the ticket scalpers than in worlds
series games heretofore. Spectators
have obtained "A certain percentage OF
the coveted p~asteboard. as spectators
always will. But there are so very
many general admission tickets and such
care was taken in the distribution OF the
reserved seats with the attendant pos
sibiiity OF a glutted market that the
Illicit trade was not pushed so forcibly
as in former years.
