BY BILLY EVANS ERY often some rather minor detail plays a prominent part in deciding a world series, In a short series of seven games, winning the opening game is regarded as a decided edge. It is the history of the base- ball classic that in a majority of cases the victor in the open- ing game has captured the series. Winning the opening game helps the morale of a ball club. |The word morale can mean a great many things in baseball | former attle| play in the big Giants angham 8 ut piel der with who wilt Hoekaminn Is Set for Big Clash lA Reserved Tickets Are Sold for Opening Con- test on Wednesday BY HE YOR RY lL.
