With DignitarieS in Line

Boston,, Oct. 13.-Boston's habit Of
going in for everything it touches
Fundamentally had a deal to do with
the great outpouring yesterday to see
the final game of the worlds series.
Columbus Day is a holiday here. The
city, therefore is q closed town.
The holiday air pervades every
thing. There was left to its inhab-
1tants only the theaters and the ball
game for relaxation. The latter APP
pealed to about 45, 900 who f1ocked to
the ball ground, the returns showing
that we'll over $4,000 of them paid
from a dollar to three dollars each
to see the final act in the Red SoX-
Superbas comedy staged at Braves
Field. 1t wasn't much of a comedy
from the Brooklyn point of view,
rather a tragedy with the Brooklyn
players furnishing the comic relief.
The thfong which packed, the grard
stand saw the players from Flatbush
perform and wondered audibly how
it happened they ever were able to
get into the limelight as champions
of the National League. 1t further
wondered how it was that they had
ever managed to defeat the Red Sox
even with Mays pitching, in that
third game of the series.
Boston There in Force.
Boston, like Rome of old, wants en-
tertainments on its holidays. This
outpouring,, as a result of the Red
Sox losing one game, with no earthly
chance of imperiling it's hold on the
worlds championship, is the answer
Bostonians are not ordinarily mali
0Tn ioin
perhaps, but always analytical and
philosophical, as is natural to such as
sit constantly where they may hear
the words of wisdom, the deductions
and conclusions of professors which
teach how to make shrewd deduc-
tions from given premises. Boston's
crowd deduced out loud yesterday
and all seemed to find the same an
swer. Which does not necessarily
me can it is the correct one-especially
as applied to baseball.
Yesterdays throng, paying and
otherwise combined, filled practically
every seat in the big stand and boiled
over in the aisles in the stands and
the standing room only enclosure
back of the right garden. 1t was the
same orderly and impartial sort of
edy now ended distributing it's favors
with remarkable. lavishness to friend
and foe alike 1t refused to be led
into such paroxysmal outbursts as
characterize the fans of Flatbush in
transports of ecstatic baseball bliss
or descents into abysmal gloom when |
the Superbas are being wallopped
1t seems always cheerful in victory
or defeat. which is possibly because
defeat comes SO rarely. But it GER |
talnly does love baseball, applauds
and can root most sue |
cessfully1as was shown in that four
teen inning game of Monday last
Brooklynitcs Cheer a Bit.
Brooklyn fans had their first and
cnly opportunity to make their pres
ence on the field evident in the Sec
ono. inning, when Cutshaw having
been given his base on four straight
pals, brought in the first run Of the
game, thanks to a passed ball on
which Cutshaw was alert enough to
get across the plate 1t was easv
enough for him to score standing I'D.
and was not much of a. play to get en-
thusiastic over.
But it was their first reward for the
of a night trip from Flat
bush plains to the chill field of Boston.
They made the most of it ond shouted
hoarse, and cavorted like g.
lot of schoolboys out for a holiday.
while the rest of the crowd wondered
over such boundless enthusiasm over
such a stroke of baseball luck. Just
as on Wednesday, the. Brooklyn root
ers got in their jubilation early, and
there was very little to
cheer them, and much less to cheer
for r,
Boston's band of enthusiastic root
ers, the be- badged and be-ribboned
royal rooters, had their chance the
next stanza of the same inning, when
Lewis came to the fore with a three
Dagger, which developed into run on
Gardeners fly to left field, which Wheat
earnered but could not return in time
to stop Lewis from tying the score.
Then the holiday aspect of the crowd
asserted, itself and led by the royal
rooters and their band, and of course
by the strains Of ''Tessie," Boston's
fandom cut loose and did what they
could to make the welkin ring in con-
servative fashion. They did fairly we'll
for a Boston crowd, which has be-
home satiated with baseball victories
hnd looks on them as everyday
events.
A fairly accurate statement of what
FmpelIed the crowd to expend any
Energy in demonstrations, either vocal
sbr gymnastic, is that they did it in or
Eer to get warm. There was q chill |
wind blowing from the northeast |
which made the seats in the stands far
hess comfortable than those in the |
hlachers.
Even Peanuts Were Cold.
The vendors had nothing but cold |
soft drinks and colder hot peanuts to |
