Diamond Flooded With Match Applied But the Conflagration Only Dried Off the Sur face, Leaving the Plat Treacherous For the Players Who Practiced on the Grass Back of the Base Lines. By GEORGE R. HOLMES. PHILLIES FIELD, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8. Phillies and Red Sox began the first game of the world's premier baseball struggle this afternoon on as rotten a playing field as the annual classic was ever contested on. The infield was covered with a slimy, treacherous blanket of muck which a small army of groundkeepers labored feverishly but vainly to make firm under foot. Shortly before I o'clock the diamond was flooded with gasoline and a match ap plied. The conflagration dried off the surface, but scarcely touched the real seat of the trouble. Sawdust, crushed brick everything was thrown on to the playing plat, but still it threatened to make the infielders crazy with grief and consternation. The crowd, of course, packed the band box park to suffocation. Hundreds stood outside the gates and gave up a small fortune for the coveted paper slips. Speculators paid their winter expenses on the proceeds of today's bartering. The SI beachers were filled in thirty minutes after the gates opened and the faith ful patiently awaited the coming of the principals. They were rewarded, or at least sat isfied, at 12:40, when John Patrick Moran, with a good, old Irish swagger, led his white suited cohorts through the gate under the centerfield bleachers. Ten minutes later the Sox trooped in. Phillies on Edge "If confidence wins hall gamrn look out for tii In this eerieg. We arc ready to the Iaet'Vord.
