The gloom of the GUnts' defeat mounted up to them from the grounds. Venders of "hot dogs" and ham and corned beef sandwiches reaped a harvest rmonf- the Coogan's Bluff contingent, and some enterprising small boys who had laid in a .store of old newspapers sold their stock for seats. Spectators who had not come provided with something to put be? tween their clothing and the wet rock? and ground eagerly bought the old news? papers, paying ae high as five cents for what one boy termed "a good chunk " Inspector Titus, who had 3f*u men under him keeping the spectator? in check, said that the crowds were bigger than at the opening crame, and the automobiles, which wers parked in nearby streets, more numerous. Aside from the disorder attendant upon the arrest of twent' -five ticket specu? lators, who were fined $10 sach in the Harlem court, all was peaceful with the crowds that sought admission to the fame Ons of these speculators had two hundred li seats for the day's game In his pockets.

Boms of the boys who held places In ths line became convinced at about 10 o'clock that there would b? no game, be~ of rain, and sold their placa at $1 to ?2. At M K the sale of seats began, and when the last one had been sold and orders given by the policemen to disperse, what remained of the crowd sought places on Coogan'S HIufT and elsewhere.
