The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-10-11

McHugh of Cleveland, the first in line,
voiced the sentiments of many when
he explained that it really wasn't
worth waiting in line for all night"
because Cleveland had practically won
the series.
By midnight, however, the line had
approached the proportions OF previous
days. Experience, apparently had
taught the walters several lessons, for
few were standing AS they did Friday
and Saturday nights. Those waiting
for the bleacher gates TO open had
brought chairs, boxes, tables and 9th
err comforts and played cards, matched
coins and found other ways to pass
the time. Before daylight candles were
used to illuminate the impromptu card
tables.

get to the pitcher, will live long in
the baseball records. The first two
never before had been duplicated in a
worlds series.

spectators jumping to their feet and

every case--wonders which made it
impossible for the Dodgers to have
real chance, although they outhit
Cleveland.
