By ROBERT EDGREN. (By Special Wire to The Evening World.) POLO GROUNDS, Oct. 7.—With twenty thousand disappointed into the great stadium and very nearly 40,000 happier and luckier persons inside, and a half a hundred sturdy heroes in uniform cavorting over the field, kept dry over night by tarpaulin covers, the stage for the first of the games between the Giants and Athletics for the baseball championship of the world was set at 1.30 o'clock to-day. The sale of tickets was ordered stopped at 1 o'clock by Police In- spector Titus. For an hour police lines had kept an empty space on Eighth avenue from One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street to One Hundred and Fifty-sixth streets, and would-be ticket buyers, formed in a line street, had been admitted to the ticket gates in battalions of four and five hundred. Word that the gates were to be closed flashed down the line almost as soon as Inspector Titus had uttered it. Six hundred men and boys broke out of the line in One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street, swirled to a board fence around the lots which face the entrance to the grounds and broke it down, Brushing aside the police, they charged the ticket gates. They were allowed to go through. Chief Howe of the Bureau of which reached to Bradhurst avenue and One Hundred and Forty-seventh 4 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1913. GAME, 20,000 ARE TURNED AWAY Crowd Waiting at Entrance to Polo ) Grounds eee VAN ai EES-S MORSE Se RE eR EES Fire Prevention made a survey of the grounds, and at ten minutes past 1 o'clock on his recommendation a tast thousand was admitted, It was almost certain that Marquard would pitch and that Bender would work for Philadelphia. One glance at the Glants as they strode across the fleld was enough to make it certain that Fred Snodgrass would be unable to play in the opening game. The “charley horse” that has stiffened his leg for several days was ati!) present, A few minutes later McGraw confirmed it by announcing to his nearby friends that Tilly Shafer would play in centre fleld and that Herzog would play third base. ‘This was not regarded as a serious handicap. Shafer and Herzog are both better batters than Snodgtass, The disadvan- tage in Shafer's lack of experience in the outfleld ts overcome by the ad- vantage gained in hitting strength. Larry Doyle appeared in excellent shape and announced to several of his friends as ‘he leaned on the wall sur- rounding the bench that he would most certainly play second base His injured shoulder, apparently, did not bother him in the least. LOOKED LIKE RAIN EARLY TO-DAY. A heavy wet haze hung over the Polo Grounds at 9.30 this morning, when the gates were opened and the walting crowd began to drift slowly in. The alr was full of that rainy feeling, warm and sticky. This gave great joy to the speculator, huddled beyond the police lines, In case of rain they might be able to carry on a colossal business in rain checks. And early in the morning a light drizzle had laid the dust of the infleld. No better arrangements have ever been made for handling a big crowd at the New York grounds, Heginuing with the all nighters on their stools and soap boxes, the line of fans waiting for the ticket gates to open begam to grow quickly after 6.30, By 9 it extended solidly from the Polo Grounds down Eighth avenue to the viaduct, under that along One Hun- dred and Fifty-ffth street to Bradhurst avenue and down Bradhurst ave- nue to One Hundred and Forty-eighth street. Above the viaduct men | massed four abreast.

Harry McCormick can alno be sent into centretield Im an emergency. When the gates opened the whole line began crawling slowly forward, | not sinuonsly like a snake but with the sure mec! hanteal progress of an “L" road escalator, Ax gate after gate opened to Hne moved faster and faster, and when the whole twenty-seven entrances were in action the line below the Polo Grounds was moving at a double, almost a run. From end to end atood one long row of uniformed policemen, etbow to elbow, raincoats on arm, cheerfully “Josbing” with the hurrying fans, LUCKIER THAN RESERVED SEAT HOLDERS. Not a bit of confusion tn that early rush, Getting tuto the Polo Grounds was like strotling acrows the Brooklyn Bridge at noon, As a plain matter of fact those who depended upon buying thelr tickets at the gate had much the better of it, for they get in even more quickly than the holders of re- served teats on the upper tier and once inside could select the best seats {y all the grand stand on the ground level at thelr letsure. At 10 o'clock 4,000 were already in the big stand, massed in the eentre. Few holders of reserved seats came early, The bleachers filled more slowly than the stands, But in front the field had a businessiike look. Every bit of ground not protected by turf was covered with tarpau- line, Beside the first base line were a number of benches arranged in a circle. The band, blue uniformed, took position there, and aa the crowd marched in began to play 4 tango. ‘The mist began to ro'l upward and everybody grew cheerful. Behind me in the crowded stand there was the bum of thousands of voices, much @nodgrass; it would have been an easy @hance for him. Marquard threw out Bender. Taree Runa One Left.

New York can get out early for a ball game No doubt of it. The band was playing something that sounded like “Die Wacht Am Rhein" probably out of compliment to the Mayor, whose box was still vacant. A moving picture machine snapped the band at work. Then it was turned upon the men who were rolling the tarpaulins and clearing the field, encouraged by a little stronger light filtering through the mist over- head. Last the picture machine was turned upon the great blue pennant fluttering lazily at the masthead beyond the right field bleachers, Boast- fully the pennant published: “Giants, World's Champions, 1905, 1888-89, 1904-5-11-12." That w: challenge to throw to the invaders. But Chauffeur Harris was not the fi person to get a ticket. By general agreement, Joseph Sullivan, a elip of a boy who had waited almost as long, was selected by the gatekeepers and the photographers for this ieace though any five hundred of the firet buyers had each as good a chance to see the game as the other. Next came famous twins, the Woods sisters, Aileen and Doris, who have not missed their seats in the front row, midway between the frst base and home plate, at a single game the Giants have played this year. Last year the Twins sat up all night for early seats, This year they ap- peared at a little after 8 o'clock and brushed aside the order of Inspector ‘Titus to go back to the foot of the line. “We are the Twins,” they said, “and whem Mr. McGraw heard that as steady rooters as We had to stay up all night last year he told us to come to the head of the Ime this year and he would see that we got in anyway.” GIRLS ENTER AT HEAD OF LINE. The word of McGraw to the loyal ladies was made good. Miss Alleen and Miss Doris were the second and third to buy tickets. There was no grumbling among those against whom they were preferred. All regular dress and by their keen and instinctive knowledge of the game and players, ae well as by their fierce, almost vindictive, adherence to the Giants’ cause. A pathetic comedy at the entrance was the continuous dropping out of line of boys and men who had been in line all night in the hope of selling their places, but who had not themselves the money to buy a ticket omee the opportunity was forced on them. Some who had money earlier tn the night found that slinking plekpockets had robbed them as they dozed. Among those who felt tn their pockets for money which was not there— though it had been—and then turned away blank and dazed wae Dusen Berkoz of the Art Students’ League, who found that $7 ha@ been atolen from him With the lower stands all filled by 21.30 time began to hang heavy on the hands of the waiting fans. The band broke into a lively Irish jig tune. Somebody rolled up a peanut bag and threw it. In a moment the whole stand took up the challenge. Programmes and newspapers, whole but just then the band turned on the slow music and the confusion stopped, A moment later another bar or so of ilg tune started the riot again, One tall, gangling youth stood up in the middle of the lower stand and held his derby hat overhead at arm's length for a target. A blizzard of flying paper came his way. A folded newspaper carried away the hat. It fell in the crowd twenty feet away and a secand later popped up minus {ts brim. The gangling youth accepted the wreck and sat down. Over back of the wire screen four men started a pinochle game. That was discovered and roughhoused out of existegee. The cards went flying over the heads of the crowd and the discomfited players ducked into obscurity. By this time there were no more $2 seata to be had, Back of the covered stand seats thousands began to patrol, looking for standing room.

An hour and a quarter more to wait. The stage all set. Only the act- ors absent. Slowly the boxes and upper stand began to fill. The band played loudly, All of a sudden the crowd broke into a roar. A huge clap- ping of hands, a shrieking of applause. Down near the right field fence a group of ball players had appeared. In a few seconds more they were rush- ing out upon the field. The Athletics were all in blue jerseys, gray trou- Camera men gal- loped madly about, flags appeared as by magic in the stands. broad purple bands on their stockings and purple visors on their caps, the royal colors. In a second twenty men, paired off, were tossing baseballs about, warming up. “There's Matty” yelled the crowd. “And there's Marquard.” Chief Meyers strolled through the bunch, careless of moving pictures. McGraw with Harry Stevens stood posing for a picture, while the fans “kidded.” The Philadelphians took the field and batted balls to the out- field. Baker knocked the first ball tossed clear over into the rightfleld bleachers. “Ob,” yelled the fans, Baker walked back jauntily, pursued by an army of camera men. He came up again a moment later and swatted to the rightfield fence. Bender, sweater-covered and stolidly chew- ing gum. batanced a couple of bats and looked bored. The band ‘Normandie.” Eleven camera men and a moving pieture outfit cornered Baker and photographed him shaking hands with Herzog. While the warming up was in full blast an automobile rolled out on the field and stopped back of the home plate where it was presented to Jake Daubert of Brooklyn “as the most valuable player” in the National League. There was very little ceremony and many moving pictures, This surely was one grand little occasion for the movies, Reno wasn't a cir- cumstance beside !t. Daubert did not look very happy as a movie hero. Betng a “most valuable player” is more in his line. To make the movie atmosphere complete John Bunny walked through the length of the grand- stand, As his well known “map” moved along the ball fans all recognized him and gave him a share of applause. John wasn't at all embarrassed, He wore a smile a feot wide, by actual measurement.
