Here is a view of the more than 11,000 baseball fans who jammed Victory field last night to welcome the Tribe in their first game here this season. Total attendance was 11,077, which included service men.

One thing that pleased the customers was the fact that when Indianapolis got men on the sacks, they didn't leave

them stranded as was the case so many times last year. Timely hitting brought them home last night.
