Brooklyn W)--There was another queue in Brooklyn yesterday morning--seven abreast and two blocks long In the heart of the borough's downtown district--as Dodger fans sought to buy 8,000 reserved seats for the playoff games with St. Louis which will decide the League championship. The crowd, estimated at between 1,000 and 4,000 at 11 a.m. (E. D.T.), began gathering at seven, hours before tickets were scheduled to go on sale.

Most of the fans shrugged off the morning's rain, coming prep 'MI umbrellas, raincoats and, just in case, box lunches. The halls, elevators and stairways of the ofilce building at 215 Montague Street, which houses the baseball club's ticket office on the fourth floor, were so quickly jammed that officials took space on the iirst floor to eliminate a fire hazard." Only six policemen were on hand to handle the crowd and there were several minor skirmishes involving police and overeager fans trying to avoid the long wait. Youngest fan in the line was Florence Esposito, three years old, who waited with Her mother two hours. The first playoff game will be in St. Louis today.
