Boston Fans Give World’s Champs a Rousing Reception--N. B. H. . NEW.

The holiday pervades every- thing. There left to its inhab- itants only the theaters and the ball game for relaxation. The latter ap- pealed to about 45,000 who flocked to the ball ground, the returns showing that well over 42,600 of them paid from a dollar to three dollars each to see the final act in the Red Sox- Superbas comedy staged at Braves Field. W much of a comedy ! from the Brooklyn point of view, rather a tragedy with the Brooklyn players furnishing the comic relief. The thfong which packed the grard stand saw the players from Flatbush perform ‘and wondered audibly how it happened they ever were able to get into the limelight as champions of the National League. It further wondered how it was that they had ever managed to defeat the Red Sox, even with Mays pitching, in that third game of the series. Boston There in Force. Boston, like Rome of old, wants en- tertainments on its holidays. This outpouring; as a result of the Red Sox losing one game, with no earthly chance of imperiling its hold on tho world’s championship, is the answer. Bostonians are not ordinarily mali- clous, they are sometimes suspicious, perhaps, but always analytical and iphilosophical, as is natural to such as sit constantly where they may hear the words of wisdom, the deductions and conclusions of professors which teach how to make shrewd deduc ftions from given premises. Boston's lcrowd deduced out loud yesterday and all seemed to find the same an- swer ‘Which does not necessarily mean it is the correet one—especially as applied to baseball. Yesterday’s throng, paying and otherwise combined, filled practically every seat in the big stand and boiled over in the aisles in the stands and the “Standing room only” enclosure back of the right garden. It was the same orderly and impartial sort of thror saw the first act in the com- ledy now ended, distributing its favors With remarkable lavishness to friend land foe alik It refused to be led into such paroxysmal outbursts as characterize the fans of Flatbush in transports of ecstatic baseball blis or delcents into abysmal gloom when [the Superbas are being wallopped.

Brooklyn fans had their first and nly opportunity to make their pres- nce on the field evident in the sec- pnd inning, when Cutshaw having been given his base on four straight balls, brought in the first run of the game, thanks to a passed ball, on vhich Cutshaw was alert enough to get across the plate.

But it was their first reward for the discomforts of a night trip from Flat- foush plains to the chill field of Boston. Phey made the most of it ond shéuted fhemselves hoarse, and cavorted like o ot of schoolboys out for a holiday, while the rest of the crowd wondered ver such boundless enthusiasm over uch a stroke of baseball luck. Just hs on Wednesday, the Brooklyn root- ers got in their jubilation early, and hereafter there was very little to heer, them, and much' less to cheer feor.

So they cheered every play that was worthy of ap- plause, and many that were not worth the effort in order to bring the warmth to their bodies, which not even the ulsters and sweaters of the men and the furs of the women would fully fur- nish. Naturally, then, it had a perfunctory character, and was not of the stirring sort one is used to when a Polo ground crowd, for example, gets busy with the applause thing . The fans in the bleachers did not have the excuse of necessity to get them into action, for in the rays of the sun there was more warmth, and they did their cheering for pure fun of the thing. They were out in force and made things as lively as could be expected in such a one-sided game, In which the conclusion could be antlei- pated from the very beginning of the session. Jim and Charley Shake. But there a time when they broke cut into wild enthusiasm was never until after the game was ended. Then they all piled on to the field, and for a half h indulged themselves in a parade with the royal rooters, in which they visited the dugouts of both teams only to find that the, players had vanished. Then they discovered J. J. Lannin, president of the Red Sox, in his box, dragged him out to head a parade, and went over to the right- fleld boxes, where they found Mayor Curley and cheered him, and then dis- covered C. H. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn team, and dragged him out of the obscurity he welcomed into the limelight and compelled him to shake hands with Mr. Lannin, the pair aft- erward parading arm and arm as a finale to the whole performance.

One of the incidents of the game which the fans in the bleachers did not fail to see and applaud loudly was the intervention of Tyrus C. Cobb into the game. Cobb is one of the ball- players who have become writers for newspaper syndicates during the sea- son. As such he had a seat in the press aerle, which 1s at the top of the grand stand, in full view of all the bleachers. When Scott was at the bat for Boston in the fourth inning he hit a high foul which went sailing sky- ward toward the reporters’ hox. Cobh rose from his scat and caught the ball. After appropriating it as a souvenir he was compelled to doff his hat to the | fans, who insisted on applauding him vociferously. CORNELL WORK FALLS OFF. Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 13.—The Cornell ‘varsity team proved a disappointment in the scrimmage yesterday, falling oft considerably in its work as compared with the showing made earlier in the week. The work lacked punch, and on saveral occasions the offense was halt- ed completely by the second team. Shiverick, Benedict, Mueller and Hoff- man all made occasional good gains, but a sustalned offensive was lacking. A forty-yard run by Shiverick was the feature.
