night. It was called early for the
purpose apparently of working out
signals and strategy to be tested in a
practice game this afternoon. The
Brooklyn team made no effort to!
hasten its movement on the scene ofi
the series curtain raising and did not i
plan to arrive here until late in the
flay. Through its series here with the
Boston Nationals the team had gained
& good working knowledge of condi
tions at the Braves Field, which Man
ager Robinson thought sufficient
preparation for the test.
Fine Weather Promised
The. weather man contributed his
part to the arrangements with as
surances of fine weather to-morrow. I
While it was warm to-aay there was
a promise of slightly lower tempera- j
tures for the game and with no early \
Indications of rain.
The attendance at tne first game i
will be the largest in the nistory of
baseball, according to President j. J.
l*nnin. of the Boston Americans.!
After working through the night again
to facilitate distribution of reserved
seat tickets. Lannin said the interest
In the series this year as indicated in
many ways was greater by far than
last year when a necord crowd of 42.- •
800 saw the first game played in this
city.
First Oomc, First Served
The height of this interest was
shown by early morning crowds at!
Fenway Park, small m number, but
eager to obtain preference in the pur- j
chase of grandstand seats. The new
system by which .successful applicants
*ere forced to fall in with a policy of
"first come, first served" at the ticket
lines. Instead of having certain tickets
held to their order, caused some con
fusion yesterday and was responsible
for the early lines to-day. Prospective '
speculators were under surveillance of
police officers and plainclothes men
who had orders to arrest any persons
trading in tickets.
The time for exercising purchase
privileges on reservations expires at 6 j
o'clock to-night after which uncalled I
for tickets will be put together and
Prepared for a rush line sale to-mor-!
ow morning. This wilt be the only
opportunity for persons not successful i
applicants by mail to obtafn such seats
except by private transactions at in
creased prices.
As far as could be learned to-day, i
disposition of tickets for the games
here has as yet developed no incident
requiring the attention of the Nati<yial j
Commission. Members of this board!
met here late to-day at which plans
for the series as already made were to 1
be approved.
Whether the commission would;
consider the action or Manager Mc- j
Graw of the New Tork Nationals in!
quitting his team a few days ago with |
•tatements that his did notj
follow instructions in the game which
Brooklyn won. could not be learned.
The only member of the commission

Sprawled on the lawn in front of

arms and kicking his feet, unmindful
of a torrential rain which was falling.
