The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-10

New York, Oct. 10--The battle>fo the premier baseball honor of the year transferred from, Boston to Brooklyn today, the baseball enthu- siasts of New York. focked by the thousands to Ebbets' Field to view the worlds series from a new an- gle.
 In contrast with the warm, hazi- ness of the past few days, remarka- ble for it's suitability to the great national pastime, the morning broke cool and breezy, with the promise of a day more suited to work on the gridiron than on the diamond.
 The ticketholders for the games to be played on the Flatbush dia- mond-there were more than 10000 grounds started-were not over-im- patient to get to the playing field and the Brooklyn traction lines were easily able to take care of their fore noon patrons. .l
 Long before game time there was every indication that the stadium, at the call of play, would be filled to the limit of its 26,00O capacity. The playing field itself had been smoothed down for the occasion. Additional seats to the number of 2,000 had been placed near the left field fence.
 The struggle of the day, coming af- ter two desperate encounters in Bos- ton which left the Bropklyns without victory and gave the Red Sox a commahding lead in the battle for the title, promised to be perhaps the 'cruciaP' game of the series. On familiar ground after the loss of two games away from home, the Dodgers figured in the calculations of ardent Brooklynites as having a better chance. A pair of reverses by sin gle run margin, in one of which five extra innings were required to sub- due them, was not looked upon sas A decided defeat. Nevertheless it was realized that today's battle might vir- tually decide the series as another setback would force the Robins to mean their downfall.
 It was likely to be either the turn ing point of the series or the contin. uation of the Red Sox march to vic- tory and with no decided superiority in run-making power demonstrated by the American Leaguers, the SUD- porters of the Tener circuit cham. pions' were not inclined to concede anything unless or until they were forced to do so. On the other hand the Red Sox rooters came primedl for the continuance of their favorite's triumphal progress. supremely reliant that "c1ass would te1l.''
 One game, at most. for the Robins was ali that the great majority oi them would concede. And with their starter likely to be Leonard, another 1efthander who when ir shape. is one of the hardest twirl- CTS in the profession to hit, few e1 them could see much chance for any thing but a third victory with an other to follow with Shore or Mays on the morrow,
 The assembling fans were early or the lockout for the particular heroes of the preceding battles to give them a hearty reception. Harry Hooper and "Del' Gainer, of pinch hitting fame, were in the hero class for the Red Sox and Babe" Ruth was sin g1ed out for credit for the game he twirled yesterday. Of the Brook 1yns, popular .approbation waY forth coming for 'Fi" Myers, whose home run in the first inning of the second game at Boston kept the Robins in the running until after the break of the 14th and for Marquard and Smith whose twiriing performance even though barren of victory, had endeared them to the Brooklyn root CTS.
