ming worlds series as they were of
coping this 1916 tilt. But, fresh from
the wilds of Flatbush, Wilbert Robin
son and his Dodgers are full of fight
and promised to give the SoS the battle
of their lives.
The Red Sox were the first to appear
on the field. They came tumbling out
of their dugout only few minutes after
12 o clock and Immediately took the
field for batting practice. The Boston
warriors swung only at left handed
shoots. In anticipation of Rube. Mar
guard, Carrigan had only southpaws
serving them up to his swatsmiths. In
the meantime cabaret sextette made
drown out the megaphone shouters but
was only partially successful.
The Royal Rooters band was on the
grounds early, well supplied with lung
power, to toot "Tessie" all over the
place.
The arrival of the Dodgers was fore.
cast by the appearance of the shadow
of Wilbert Robinson's stomach on the
field shortly before o'clock. A sec
ond later Robbie himself appeared, Vol.
lowed by the entire Brooklyn crew.
