In line before box offices, scrambling
for tickets and doping OF batteries,
is as good as under way.
With the arrival OF the Brooklyn
team. the umpires and members Of
the national commission here this
afternoon, the stage setting will be
complete, all the principals will be on
the ground and only the final jam at
the gates, the blare of bands and the
call of the umpire will be awaited to
send the Red Sox and Dodgers away
By 900 o'clock tonight, when the
distribution of reserved seats closes,
there will not be vacant seat left In
the huge Braves field where the first
battles for the worlds title will be
staged.
A long line OF fans was waiting
YEARLY at the ticket Offices when
they opened at Fenway Park, home OF
the Red Sox, today. They took the
place of men and women who stood
in four long lines throughout yester-
day. loudly crying for the admission
cards.

OPENING TILT FOR WORLD
TITLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Betting Is Stronger.

Betting has been growing stronger
| every hour. Odds of ten to seven are
| being freely offered that the Red Sox
| will take the series and many bets
have been placed at 10 to 8 that the
Red Sox will cop the opening game
/ Not a word has come from Bill
Carrigan regarding his pitching
choice for the opening game Of the
series tomorrow. Babe Ruth, Ernie
Shore. Dutch Leonard and Carl Mays
all worked out yesterday at Braves
fielders were getting used to the
diamond AS the Dodgers have been
weak most OF the season against
southpaw hurlers, 1t is considered
likely that Ruth or Leonard may get
first crack at the National league
champions. Also 1t Is believed that
Rube Marquard will start for the
Dodgers. RUDE has met the Red Sox
before and his experience under fire
is expected to be a strong argument
in favor of his pitching the initial
encounter.
Poor outfield.
Right and center fields at Braves
field, according to admissions from
Red Sox headquarters so far have
proved troublesome to the American
league outfielders. Hooper, especial
ly found his station not to his liking
and great deal of time has been
spent in getting him accustomed to
the rough ground.
Another workout will be taken by
the Red Sox today but it will be light.
The Dodgers will arrive In Boston
late this afternoon and will not get
into action on the field until tomor-
row morning If they take any work
out at all
Arrangements have been made by
the police for the start OF the annual
hot dog soap box" line up which
always spends the night in front of
the ticket Offices prior to the opening
Of the big games.
Only general admission tickets
will be on sale on the day of the
game and these will sell at 81 and
so cents.
Ideal weather is promised for the
opening game tomorrow. The sun
smiled down from a cloudless sky to-
day and the weather man gave his
word that the same would hold for
Saturday.
