tending teams began shortly
after noon.
The National League champions,
in bright white uniforms, went out
first for batting practice, while the
Yankees, in travelling uniforms OF
well-worn grey, were the object OF
seemingly endless attention on the
part of Pittsburghers and the near
est fans.
Babe Ruth, of all the ballplayers
on the field, was the most pestered.
The fans wanted his autograph on
baseballs and score cards. They
wanted to wiring the big hand that
held the bat that busted sixty home
runs this season.
Babe Is Big Attraction
There was no doubt that while the
fans we're out to root the Pirates
home to victory If possible, the one
big attraction was Babe Ruth OF
New York.
The new bleachers. towering back
of the fence in deep center field.
we're practically filled before noon,
and crowds we're standing in a dou-
BILE line outside.
The line stretched the length Of
adjacent Sennott st. and around in
to Bouquet ST., equivalent to three
city blocks. Mounted police were on
patrol, but the fans we're orderly.
Many women were among the
prospective customers.
Remy Kremer, a stocky Cali
fornian of French descent will be out
there on the hill. flinging his fast
ball past the vaunted sluggers of the
American League.
Waite Hoyt, blonde hurler from
the opposite coast, once known as
the schoolboy wonder, but now the
seasoned veteran of several post
season campaigns. will pitch his
curves across the chests of eager I,
Pirate batsmen.
A bright sun brought the mercury
to 81 degrees on Forbes field at l0.30
o'clock today and a mark OF be-
tween 10 and rs degrees for the
opening game of the world series
this afternoon was predicted by w.
S. Brotzman, United States weather
forecaster.
Brotzman cast a little gloom over
the second game Of the series by
predicting cloudiness tonight and
showers Thursday. with low tenn
perature.
Today marks the start of world
series between two great ball clubs.
The fact that one made its mark
before the season of 1927 was fairly
under way, while the other had to
fight to the seasons end for a mere
league pennant, no longer con-
Germs the nations fans.
The Pirates are in there today
fighting to justify themselves. Their
stocky, diminutive. aggressive man
ager, DOME Bush, has much to
justify.
Pittsburgh fans will not forgive
hastily ilis benching of "Kiki" Guy
ler-a year ago the star Of the
Pirate outfleld-if a Yankee victory
results.
Fight yellow Stigma"
Men have called the Pirates yel-
low, and the ball clubs only ade-
quate answer can be the winning of
another worlds championship.
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mark
Koenig, Bob Meusel and Tony Lag
zeri are names to conjure with in
the world of swat-what's more 1T
ting than that they should hammer
their way past all opposition to VIC
tory in the series of 1927?
