Perspiring carpenters were hammering the last few nails in temporary stands in center field calm in the midst of the storm, fighting Griffmen went through their final, spirited workout Out at the ball park the very at- mosphere seemed to breathe the word “ready.” The lucky few who had ‘managed to beg positions as peanut and soft-drink salesmen stood in line waiting for their white s and final instructions.

A few wanted different seats from those allotted them. They were promptly shown the door. Others came to inquire why they had not received reservations in response to requests written long ago. Some of these were mailed to wrong addresses, a few others, quite naturally. simply overlooked in the scramble. To date, it is figured that more 200,000 persons wanted the 3 tickets the Washington club availuble for every one. And in the meantime, other thousands of re- quests are arriving at the clubhouse daily and are not even being opened. Jt was only natural under such stren- us conditions that some mistakes should have been made. Try to Work “Pull.’ The worst trouble Jookers at the ball park today was caused by certain men who consid- ered that they had “pull” and who insisted upon being allotted large batches of tickets for “out-of-town customers.” They got the same an- swer: “Take your place in line. The minute the people who wrote months ago have finished calling for their reservations we will =ell to the pub- Jic what has not been called for. {This club does not feel that it is fair to sell a man’'s ticket when he has not been able to get up to the win- dow to get them because of the crowd.” Eynon figured shortly before noon that there probably reserved seats to be sold in this man- ner. He expected they would be sent 0 the booths at noon, but this hour, he explained, depended altogether on whether the lines that still stood in front of the booths where reserva- tions were being held had been taken care of.
