The air must have vibrated with
signals that yesterdays game between
the Giants and the Yankees at the
sPoio Grounds was to be Il rafting 5000
one, for not since the world series
started Wednesday has there been so
J, much ginger and enthusiasm In the
Held and in the grand stand and such
crowd of women out to see the big
league battle. At the previous games
the women seemed to be lost in the
mass Of regular cigar smoking vet
Grams, but when the Giants trotted out
to the diamond to practise. twice as
lively as the day before, the boxes and
grandstand seats were well filled with
the feminine contingent. They really
stood out both for numbers and for
bright appearance.

was due in part to the fact that they
had put or their gayest colored hats for
The occasion. 1t may have been to en-
courage the downhearted Giants or just
because they felt sprightly themselves
but however one explains the psychol-
'bEy of the color effect the fact remains

hats on the right side of the grand
stand and masses OF red hats on the

orange one standing in bold relief

never saw so many red hats and so many
Y blue hats at any one gathering. And
they were of such brilliant shades. as IL
to cheer up the players and make them
see without having to study the crowd
that there were hundreds of women
rioters. M.s.

their long white gloves and beat the
air with them: they unfastered their
fur neckpieces and waved them joyfully

And II any further proof Is needed
that the women knew how things were
