started riot. She asked if Nick Az.

seen Ruth in vaudeville and that tbs

ball uniform looked like g comedian
The $50 boys are daring lot. WITH
forty feet of air between them and
the playing field they never hesitats
in calling every and anybody who has
anything to do with the game names
that are far beyond the comprehensive
of the average bleecherite and little
bit too daring for the aristocrats. who
sit in the lower section nearer the
field. The selection Of Bush started
the first argument. The $50 boys de-
ciared Higgins was poor simp not
to know that after losing three games
precedent insured Yankee victory
and he therefore ought to have wasted
one Of his second-string pitchers on
the game. Until after the Giants had
scored three in the eighth il was evi-
dent that the upper berthers had their
money on the Yanks.
When an upper berther has money On
team he is Hind co reason. Dugan,
Ward and Scott were at the start Of
ball has ever produced. Heine Groh,
Banny and Frisch were buns When
Giant rooterss asked what was the
matter with Groh after he made his
sensational stop of Pipp's liner in the
sixth, he was told that Groh was get
ting paid to do just that, and it was
nothing unusual.
Nathan, George and an eight-year-
old counterpart of Nathan sat in Sec
ton ii. Nathan rooted for the GianS
and George rooted for the Yanks
Nathan jr., who sat between the two,
rooted for the hot dog man. When
Ruth struck out in the fourth Nathan
loudly asked his son If he had ever
seen a bigger boob than Babe. Nathan
Jr was at that moment trying to dig
up a penny that was on the floor bes.
yond his reach, and in reply to his
father asked if he was going to buy
him another hot dog. George told
Nathan his son was near the barking
stage, as he had eaten ten dogs, and
added if he had kid who paid no more
attention to world series game than
Nathan jr. he would break his neck.
Then the fun began.
ne real comedy of the upper berthsrs
came with the b>g event of the game
1t was the last half of the eighth.
A middle-aged man, who sat in Section
10, yelled himself speechless telling
Bush how to get out of the biz hole,
Frisch was on third and Meusel Oh
second.
