Ninth Inning
BROOKLYN, April 12.-—-‘.\'ew York
won the opening game here yesterday
before the largest crowd that ever at-
tended a National League contest here.
‘50 dense was the crowd that it on-
oroschod on theItiinmond and a hat-
talion of police had to be called in on
the advice of Mayor Gaynor to give
the players room. A hit into the out-
field that would ordinarily have been
an easy out went for two bases. The
New Yo‘rks took advantage of this,
getting no less than ten doubles. They
scored 18 runs off the three Brooklyn
pitchers before the game had to be
called after the sixth inning on no-
cottut oi‘ darkness. hlarduard was
effective in all except the third inning.
The game was the most remarkable
one since the St. Louis Browne and
the llrooklyns played more, than a
score of years ago, on the old grounds
diagonallyIacross from the present
ones at Washington Park. The crowd
yesterday was estimated at 30.000 and
orerftowed the field clear up to the
diamond. it looked for a time us if
the Brooklyns would be compelled to
forfeit the game for the special police»
men wore helpless. Finally President
l'lhbeits appealed to Mayor Gaynor.

ball into the field and his honor made.

commissioner to bring in the regular
