As compared with {he crowds that. blocked the reet from curb to curb in previous post 'season contests, the knots of fans watching the score boards today were woefully small and apathetic. But the lack of enthusiasm in the street is not the proper measure of the real degree of interest in the series which exists in Boston and -New England this year. At the headquarters of the American League team it was announced to- night that everyone of the 1,595 box seats for the games to open in Bos- ton Monday had been sold. The re- maining grandstand seats will be plac- ed on sale at the box office on Jersey street at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Four applicants were noti- fled today that their orders had been filled and further applications received tonight and in the first mail tomor- row will be acknowledged.

MANSFIELD CENTER Probably the leading event in Mansfield during the past week was the presentation of “The History. of Mansfield in Pageantry” by a. cast of more than 60 people, on the hillside of the Dewing estate south of the church, in the early evening Tuesday. Red Cross. Between 250 and 300 people witnessed the production which was so far as possible an accurate representation of leading events in the history of the town. Many of the events Cepicteq occurred on almost.the same grounds, from 100 to 200 years ago. The program opened with se- lections by a special orchestra wof nine pieces and a prologue arranged and given by Mrs, Gilbert W. Chapin. The opening event was. an Indian scene, “Karly Home Life in Mans- field,” followed by the “Coming of the White man” and .the “Bequest of Land, called “Joshua’s Tract” (which included this town) from the Indians. ing the lullaby sung by the mother of the first white baby born in. Mans- field. Immediately after, came an at- tack by a band of hostile Indians which was routed by Major Mansfield. A group of about 30 Pilgrims was seen starting for Windham (Hither Place) where previous to 1710 they attended “meeting” two Sundays of every three. Later scenes depicted early. church services in Pond Place (Mansfield), and the first school, 1706. The Rev- olutionary: Period as represented by an ox cart bringing merchandise and news {rom Boston, by the town meet- ing of Oct. 10, 1774, at which the Declaration of Freedom was adopted, and a recruiting scene. The eighth episode represented the inventions and industries for which Mansfield was noted a century ago, particularly the beginning of the silk industry in this country, which was represented by Mrs. Phebe Hanks. The Civil War was pictured by the Baptist church here was occupied |' The pageant was given by the localy: A beautiful scene was that represent- \ wounded soldiers on the field with C. E. Franklin as color bearer, while a quartet sang “Tenting Tonight.” The final episode which was ar- rangeq by Mrs. G. H. Allen, chair- man of the local Red Cross branch, assisted by Mrs. .G. C. Jensen, Jr. was “The Spirit of 1918,” a proces- sional of 28 people representing knit- ting, sewing and surgical dressings departments of Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Junior Red Cross, Girls Canning Club and Junior Food Army. Leading historical characters were represented as follows: Sachem Joshua, R. E. Fellows; Uncas, father of Joshua, F. ‘E. Eaton; Mistress Royce, Mrs. E. P. Ayer; Major Mans- field, Stedman _Storrs} Capt John Mason, Gilbert W, Chapin; Rev Ele- azer Williams, A. W. Buchanan, Jr. Eunice Williams, Miss Mabel Mandell; John Arnold, Chas. G. Hall; Shubael Conant, Ged. H. Allen; Col. Experi- ence Storrs, Leslie M. Nichols; Col Benjamin Hanks, Axel Erickson. The ox cart was driven by John Barrows. The music of the orchestra which play- ed throughout the evening added much to the success of the pageant, as did the costuming of so large a group of people, and the natural beauty of the surroundings. The pageant was ar- ranged and directed by a committee consisting of Mrs. Lucya Gatchell, Miss Elsie Marsh and Mrs. Gilbert Chapin. A lunch of sandwiches, coffee, cake and ice cream was served on the church lawn, under the direction of Mrs. W. R. Davoll. The receipts, in- cluding a few gifts amounting to $137, which netted more than $95 for the Red Cross.

Buckingham; flute, M. Leslie Nichols; saxaphone, J. L. Dunslan; drum, Francis Johnsan; Nichois.
