As there has been an enroll

Philadelphia, October 9—
Three thousand men and boys,
tired and bedraggled, this morn
ing awaited the opening of Shibe
Parke gates, standing in an ex
tended line along the park walls
Many were there all night.
The skies were cloudy, but
yesterday’s bad drizzle disap
peared and the weather man de
clared the prospects good for
favorable weather. The ticket
scandal has been growing and a
I dozen more sralners have hppn
arrested.
Before the game, the National
Commission instructed the um
pires to warn the players that if
they use an “emery ball” they
will be barred from the series.
The game opened with Ben
der, the veteran Indian twirler,
on the mound for the Athletics,
and Rudolph for the Braves.
!The latter was invincible in all
pinches allowing the American
leaguers but five hits, while
I Bender was knocked out in the
! sixth, when Boston scored 3
I runs, Wyckoff succeeded him.
