Boston
Brooklyn

Brooklyn made ready last night TO
take its place for the time being as
the baseball center Of the universe.
The shift called for by the worlds ser
les schedule brings the battling teams
to Ebbet's field for the third game Of
the big set and gives the loyal legions
of Brooklyn rooters their first oppor-
tunity to rally in force in vociferous
support of their favorities.
That they were preparing to make
the most of it was evident from the
demand for tickets for the games to
be played at the home of the National
league champions. The Brooklyn club
announced that all the boxes and vir
tually all the reserved seats. provid-
ing accommodations for abou $4,000
persons. had been sold. All that re-
mained to be disposed of were some
2000 unreserved seats that had been
provided in temporary bleachers Of
the circus variety erected in left field
Plans for an equal number along the
opposite field wall had been Cancelled
because of the realization that their
erection would objectionably shorten
the already short right field, the
fence bounding which offers a tempt
ing mark for the home-run hitters.
whose solid raps frequently surmount
the barrier.
Last night there was every indica-
tion that the 2000 field seats would
be grabbed up as quickly as might be
after the ticket window was opened
at II O'Clock this morning and that
the game would be witnessed by
crowd that would fill the park. to its
10000 capacity.
This interest was evident despite
the fact that Manager Wilbert Robin
sons team had so far failed to win a
game i'll the series. The two defeats
in Boston were suffered by such close
scores and, particularly in yesterdays
game, accompanied by the exhibition
of such high-class baseball and evi-
dences OF gameness by the Superbas
that Brooklyn fans still clung strong
ly to hopes of ultimate victory.
The rival teams reached New York
on late evening train from Boston,
the Red sox going to an uptown hotel
in Manhattan for the night. The
members of the Brooklyn squad took
automobiles for Flatbush to spend the
night in their homes there.
Weather prospect last night were
that the third games of the series
would be played under less favorable
conditions than the first two A cool
wind, with a threat of rain in it, blew
from the southwest, indicating that
football rather than baseball weather
might be in store today. -

weak. After opening u to 7s higher

Trade was light
Provisions were neglected. The mar
ket. however. seemed to be steadied by
higher prices on hogs.
Later the wheat market tended to ad-
vance owing to the serious nature of

caused by drought. heat and insects.
Prices closed steady. u to II net high
