Natives Quite Calm
This was the opener in Brooklyn
but the natives didn't seem wildly
enthused about It, The double beat

ton seemed 10 have dampened the
ardor OF Brooklyn fans or. maybe

they were not demonstrauVe. AT
any rate. pretty plays in fielding
practice and smashing clouts IN
batting did not provoke much ap-
plause.
Reserved seats were on sale az
the box office here almost up 10
game time. This is a condition
UNIQUE. unequalled in worlds series
history. Never in the last six OF
eight years have any reserved seats
been left for public sale before

sale today. And this condition, by
the way. gave the spectators an
other financial wallop. Before the
