Score Board Fans Enjoy Lew Ritter's Style of Play; To Give Rain Checks Today

Just like in big games, rain checks were in order to-day at Lew Ritter's world's series in Chestnut Street Auditorium. The local catcher is a big factor in making the games as played on the electrical board a big success. Catcher Ritter knows every ball player in the universe. His description of a game is not only interesting but instructive.

Baseball fans wonder at times why certain plays are being made. Ritter tells them. He is quick in giving decisions. The board as operated by the local player is considered the most accurate in service. No details are overlooked. Play started to-day one hour earlier than on Saturday. All games in the east open at 2 o'clock, eastern time. In the event of a postponement to-day the two games in New York will go over to Wednesday and Thursday. The electrical board will be in operation until the series is completed.

It is interesting to hear the fans who watch the board. They root just the same as at a big baseball game. They call on the man at the bat to "hit them out," and they even pan the umpires when he calls a runner out at home plate. The crowd this afternoon filled the Chestnut Street Auditorium where this famous board is operated.
