stadium in the country, was filled with
a gathering which fell less than q
championship throng. Bleachers and
srandstands were filled almost to ca
pacttv and in contrast 20 the opening
game the spectators. thrilled with the
terseness OF tho situation. rooted
without cessation throughout the en-
tire two hours and thictv-two minutes
of play. once the character Of the
contest had gripped them, men, wo-
men and bows aided by bands and I'M
provised noise producers, raised din
that ratified the windows Of staid Back
Bay homes and made It impossible to
hear the umpire's decisions
So great was the noise that Man
ager Robinson finally protested TO tho
arhi'ers against tho blare OF the bands
or the grounds that his players could
not hear his coaching Instructions
With It ALL however the thousands
were exceedingly fair in their up-
plause and every star play Of the
many made ny Brooklyn was accorded
The same approval as those reeled off
by the smooth Boston machine.
