Yesterdays crowd, announced as
42,505, was expected to be dupli-
Gated this afternoon, although the
fans occupying unreserved sections
were later in arriving. There we're,
however, some 10000 spectators in
the cheaper seats when the Tigers
came out for the first general drill.
The Tiger fans still were confident
in the ultimate success of their
cause; they still believe Detroit will
win a worlds baseball champion
ship, something that never before
has been accomplished.
If the Tigers don't win this aft
ernoon it probably will be just too
bad, for tonight the clubs leave for
st. Louis, where. the third and
fourth, and, if necessary, fifth game
will be played Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
Not even the rabid fans who
stood in line all night to be among
the first into the park today believe
that the Tigers could even the
count in hostile st. Louis territory.
A bright sun was shining today.
dispelling much of the early october
haze. It was chilly however. and a
nipping northeast breeze whipped
through the towering steel and con-
crete stands The field again was
in perfect condition.
Cochrane in JoviaI Mood
Despite yesterdays unhappy
showing, Manager Cochrane was in
jovial mood today. He joshed the
photographers while posing for pic
lures with Babe Ruth.
Rowe and Hallahan warmed up.
Dizzy Dean, the eccentric st. Louis
hurler who was yesterdays winning
pitcher, came over to the Tiger
dugout, and engaged in some light
bantering with the Schoolboy. Rowe
just kept on pitching.
The crowd gave the Tigers
great cheer as they trotted onto the
field.
