10,000 ATTEND THE OPENING GAME AT RICKWOOD FIBLD (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6). spirit of this man who has but lately acquired the controlling interest in the local association-the spirit of the true, clean sportsmanship. The people turned out in appreciation of this. No doubt the whole league will soon catch the spirit, for it 18 bound to win out. A new standard has been set and other clubs must lift their eyes to it.
The dedicatory exercises were very simple. There was no pomp of ceremony. The occasion was a modest Mr. Woodward did not enter into the exercises. Harry Jones, president of the City ell, and one of the most ardent fans of Birmingham, acted as master.
of ceremonies. Mr. Jones made a few preliminary remarks, stating that it was unnecessary to explain the gathering of such great crowd, after which he introduced R. H. Baugh, president of the local association, to whom he referred as a man representative of the grandest atheltic sport of the world.
Mr. Baugh in turn introduced Judge William H. Kavanaugh, to whom he referred as the "greatest baseball man In his pleasure of able to be present. the world." Judge Kavanaugh expressed He spoke of the new park as "the finest home of baseball in the southiend and one of the finest in the world." He then christened Rickwood neld by pouring on the home plate champagne from a silver cup riven to the association by Sake. Manager Mole worth was called forward and the association presented the silver loving cup to him through Mr.
Jones, the master of a ceremonies. ager Molesworth was also presented with a gift of Joe and Lee Slaughter, a silver-headed walking cane that he might "use in his old days when he is unable to play This ended the ceremonies. The band which was on hand for the occasion burst forth with Dixie" and bedlam broke loose. More than 10,000 lusty shouts were emitted from the throats of the eager attendants and the game was called. When the players had taken their pofirst appearance on the field.
With Dasitions "RiCk" Woodward a made his ley of Montgomery at the bat and "Rowdy" Elliott catching, Mr. Woodward And he threw got the first. trouble. Pitcher Woodward was just about to wind up for his delivery when he discovered that he had forgotten something. Wherewith he called Elliott off to one side and put a bug in his ear.
Elliott made all sorts of apparently uninterpretable motions, which the pitcher evidently understood, however, and with an air of satisfaction and wise countenance the wonderful twirler and baseball mogul resumed his position in the box. The horsenide. sphere described some eight or ten enigmatic figures before Mr. Woodward had finished winding up, but finally he cut loose and with a mighty heave worthy only of some undiscovered wonder sent the ball singing toward the plate. It fooled Umpire Rudderham.
Although Pitener Woodward and Catcher Elliott were both convinced that the ball split the plate to a hair's breadth, Umpire Rudderham see it that way. He called it a ball. An argument ensued. With angry countenances the battery approached the poor, misguided, deceived What was said could not be. heard from the press box and the principals declined discuss the ugly affair last night, but the remarks must have been something awful, for Umpire Rudderham ordered the mighty pitcher off of the diamond and Covaleski, the "Hurling was sent into the box by Manager Molesworth to re'place the mighty "Rick" Woodward, who promptly determined to forever 1 tire as an active ball player, being willing to rest on the knowledge that he had put one over that even the umpire could not solve.
When Mr. Woodward had been escorted back to his seat in front of the grandstand the game began and the initial battle at Rick wood Field was on. The crowd at Rickwood field yesterday afternoon was without a doubt most magnificent ever assembled in Birmingham. There were 10,000 paid admissions and including the deadheads, the attendance ran well on toward the 11,000 mark. After 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Birmingham was a deserted city.
The spirit of the approaching occasion had penetrated the remotest sections. of the business. district and practically every store. in town closed its doors for the afternoon and everybody who had a drop of sporting blood in his veins and who could go went to the ball game. It was Rickwood day, the biggest baseball day in the history of Birmingham.
Those who remained in the city must have been lonesome. There were so few people in the business section that one could. feel it. A visitor might have thought the city had been abandoned for good or else that he had by mistake gotten off, the train at Montgomery. Nearly 11,000 persons had abandoned the city for a few hours.
Everybody from capitalist down to the office boy turned out for the occasion. The special baseball cars did not begin running until 1:30 o'clock, but long before that hour many fans were on their way to Rickwood feld. When the first special cars began running they left the city with people literally hanging to them by their teeth. The crowds which stood on the varlous corners. seemed never to diminish, but rather to increase many fold.
By 3 o'clock practically every seat in the magnificent grandstand and the bleachers on either side was taken: Seats had been provided for 6000 people. By 3:15 o'clock there was not a vacant chair on the grounds and still the lines before the two ticket offices were no shorter. When the dedicatory exercises began at 3:30 o'clock many spectators had sought seats on the field and it is estimated that fully 3000 were outside the park seeking entrance. And still cars loaded to the very guards were arriving at intervals of only a few minutes. The ticket managed, with a supreme effort, to get the immense throng into the park -before the game started.
By this time there were fully 4000 people on the field and they were obliged to string themselves out in a circle around the lot. Ground rules were necessarily put in effect. Promptly at 4 o'clock the game was called. Those who were in a position to secure a panoramic view of the crowd were awed by its magnitude. The weather was oppressively warm, but some merciful advertiser had distributed fans among the attendants.
Everybody had one and the sight of the thousands of little artificial breeze-makers moving back and forth gave the suggestion of a choppy sea. It was an immense expanse of humanity, perpetually moving. The sweltering thousands on the field stuck to their positions with the sun full in their faces. There were no quitters. No man was willing to relent.
The game WAS about to begin. And when play started the crowd appeared to take it in a surprisingly calm manner. But as the game tightened up the nerves of every spectator tightened along with it. The mad enthusiasm confined within a crowd of thousands might burst forth at any time. Finally it came.
When Manager Molesworth, after doubling, was pushed across the plate with the initial run of the game there was a mighty demonstration. Ten thousand men and women rose to their feet and everyone let out a shout. The wild throng roared like an angry lion in its cage. Drums and bells added to the deafening noise. Never there such a demonstration in the of Birmingham.
When play Wag resumed and the excitement subsided the crowd came to a normal state, only to be roused again and again when either some brilliant or some dissatisfying play occurred. Between innings the band played. This was the occasion for a demonstration each time. Everybody was wild with enthusiasm and this wag the one occasion of all occasions to give vent to their feelings. The game finished, there was a mad rush for the exits.
Approximately 5000 people had been seated around the field. When the winning run was scored this great throng rose of one accord and box on top of the grandstand the dashed for the exits. From the was a magnificent and still half terrifying one. The sight under other circ*mstances might mass have led one to believe that the of humanity had stricken with some terror and in its Alight was giving expression to its fear. The grandstand.
solid A8 a stone wall, resounded with the exultant shouts of 10,000 satisfied souls. The game had been won and it was crowning day. Rickwood Field had been fittingly opened. "Purity at Parker's" Fresh candy fine candy. Allegretti's, Wiley's, Gunther's.
