 The spectators were slow in filing into fthe stands and there were many vaean
 seats when Evans opened the game witt
 an infe'd out. Later these seats filled
 but there was an apparent lack of en
 thusiasm compared with preceding world'
 series. Much of the typical noise ant ifooting was missing and there was 1ittl,
 evidence of concerted effort to cheer or
 either team Spectators who offered
 both grandstand and bleacher sefA- q
 several times their face value. found f4--
 purchasers and after the first inn n
 were glad to dispose of them for fir
 per cent. of the original price. The hi~-
 ground back of the park and the roof
 of apartment houses in the vicinity wer
 thronged with men and boys but thes
 crowds dwindled as the cold wind anC
 inability of the Brooklyn batters to hi
 Coveleskie safely, chilled their baseball
 ardor.
