Babe Ruth Man Who Packed
Stadium With Record Crowd

cans find so much time to bother the
remainder os the world and themselves.
And There Were Vacancies.
This new structure is not stadium
in any sense. Ii is one-half OF a
colossal amphitheater, its western
side mounting toward Mars and the
eastern half climbing 60 feet or more
from the playing surface OF the field
toward the elevated extension of a
subway railroad. 1t was not filled.
There were vacant seats amounting
to at least 1000 in the amphitheater
and in the section of the sun gods.
Thousands came out of curiosity and
thousands left wh,n the game was
half over and they had seen Ruth
make a home-run, for the average
New Yorker, made over as he comes
raw from foreign lands IS queer
bug rbout sport.
There was no great enthusiasm
about baseball or for baseball while
the show Of dedication was going on.
There were yaps and raucuoLs noises,
but when Ruth knocked a home-run
an oral cyclone started q wind spout
which spiraled upward and so dis
turbed air conditions above that a
gale blew clouds of dust over the
choking bleacherites and the rain fell
when the last player was out.
1t was baseball's biggest day from
the standpoint of the business office,
but it wasn't baseball's biggest game.
The stand is SO large that the game
is seen from its seats furthest back
as it is seen in the huge one-tier
stand at Boston-better with field
glasses than with the naked eye.
Easy for H0me.runs.
Much discussion has BEEN heard
about the right field of this new
ground, much speculation has been
entered into as to whether it will
be an easy stand for home.runs. 1t is
the easiest in either major league
and if the pitchers cannot outwit
Ruth he will hold another home-run
record by the end of the season. If
there are other lcft-hand hitters who
can wallop the ball to right field or
right-hand hitters who cal sting long
raking liners to right field. they too
will add some home-run games TO

Tolle's Classy Twirling

Victory.

closely-contested game from Main Ave
nue. High Wednesday at Schwab
Field, 8 to 1. The losers showed i'm
provement over the first game they
played with the South Sjders. They
played good ball after the first inning
when they booted the ball three times
which counted two scores for the
Purple and white.
The game Wednesday was perhaps
the classiest and undoubtedly the fast
est game played in the Academic
League this season. The pitchers
were exceptionally stingy although
there were not so many strikeouts,
The hits, only one of which was -
an extra base, were kept we'll seat
tered and only three free passes were
given Goforth, allowing two and Tolle
the other one.
Whitney and Irby of the South
Siders were the only two players to
get more than one hit Each gar
nered two. James of the Red and
White was the only man to get a
bingle for an extra base, hitting a
two-hagger in the sixth and scoring
Goforth with the only Main tally.
