Chicago, Oct. 9.—Forty thou
sand men and women, frenzied
with baseball enthusiasm, today
Hocked to the west side baseball
park to witness one of the greatest
diamond battles in all the history
of sports—the first game of the se
ries between the Chicago White
Stockings and the Chicago Cubs to
decide the championship of the
world.
Only once before since Chicago's
charter was given has there been such
a crush of humanity within one In
closure. That was 13 years ago today,
when Chicago Day was celebrated at
the World's Fair grounds.
Whol* Country 8tirrsd.
Chicago Is stirred and excited from
the northern limits to the Indiana line.
People bubble with enthusiasm and al
most dance with Joy. Never was there
such excitement over a sporting event.
The country Joins In this wonderful
demonstration. .There Is no town or
city, no matter how small, that Is not
sending up its call for the result.
Wintsr Wssthsr Prsvails.
The day broke cold and chilly. It Is
cold enough for winter'overcoats and
furs. These were dug from the dark
closets and those who took up the
march to the field early were wrapped
up as snugly as If they were on a Jour
ney to a football game.
The wind blew from the north at a
velocity of about 30 miles an hour. The
sun refused to shine for many hours,
but finully at 10 o'clock it broke out
and Hooded the city with a dash of
warmth. It wus hailed with delight by
those who thought of the cola and
cheerless bleachers.
Heavy Clouds Appear.
At 10:30 It had dlsapspared again,
but the heavy clouds appeared to be
broken up and there was a good chance
that it would be shining brightly at the
time the guine was scheduled to be
called.
At 11 o'clock It grew dark again and
u slight truce of snow fell down town.
Railroads Bring Crowds.
Every railroad entering the city gave
rates to its patrons In a distance of 300
miles of I'hicago. Each yaln brought
in from 50 to 200 men and women who
came to Chicago especially to see the
first game. Most of them iiad no tick
ets reserved and they went to the base
ball park early this morning. Many
were standing around the gates at 3
o clock. At 10 a. m. it was estimated
‘hat ,,,ooo were crowding the streets
adjacent to the grounds.
At n a. m , ticket sellers nrrlvcd at
[he grounds and began arranging the
tickets at once. 8hortty after this hour
President Murphy telephoned them to
open the gates at the earliest possible
moment.
Row Ovsr Umpires.
An exciting scene occurred In a room
In the auditorium annex Just before
noon. President Ban Johnson, of the
American League, and Charles W.
Murphy, president of the Chicago Na
tl 1 ? 1 " 11 League club, engaged In a quar
rel which nearly resulted In blows. The
altercation was over the selection of

\ a Are that originated Tuesday
morning about 2:30 o'clock In the Greek
restaurant of. Davis & Chotos, 11 Ma
rietta street, near the corner of Peach
tree street, damage estimated at $6,000
was done to the restaurant and build
ing. and the entire block threatened
with destruction.
The Greek restaurant was complete
ly gutted, slight damage being done the
rear of the store of the Coates Shoe
Company, which *fionts Peachtree
street, and the flames also ate their
Way Into Williams house No. 8, a lodg
ing house, which occupies a portion of
the Henley block.
Several men were asleep In that por
tion of the Williams house directly over
the restaurant, but they were all
awakened and escaped without Injury.
The Elkln-Watson drug store, nt
Peachtree and Marietta streets, had n
narrow escape from the flames, the
hottest part of the fire being In the
rear of the drug store. a
Damage Reaches $6,COO.
The damage to the restaurant Is es
timated at $5,000, while the damage to
the building Is said to be about $1,000.
The building belongs to the Healey es-
tyite. The Greeks carried no Insurance
on their restaurant and fixtures, and
there was also no Insurance on the
building.
The reason the fire gained touch head
way Is ascribed to the fact that the
three Greek clerks, who were on duty
In the restaurant at the time of the
outbreak of the fire, were unable to
turn In a Are alarm. The blaze started
In the kitchen, some lard Igniting on
the stove, and It wns the space of but
a few moments until the entire room
was In flames. The Greeks at once be
came excited and one of them ran to
the nearest fire alarm box, to send In
the alarm.
He turned the crank on (the outside
of the box and then ran back to the
burning restaurant, thinking he had
done all that was necessary. He had
failed to sound the alarm, however,
and there was no response from the Are
department. A delay of fully half an
hour ensued and all the while the fire
was rapidly gaining headway. The po
licemen were on the scene In a Jiffy.
By this time, however, the restaurant
had been totally ruined and the fire
was burning Into the rear of the Coates
shoe store and through the celling Into
the Williams house. It was only a
ida j
pose of conferring with the officers of
the local unldn. This Is the first strike
the Southern has had In Its machine
shops since 1901. Members the At
lanta union say they do not expect to
bo out longer than three weeks.
F. W. McCabe, business represen
tative, said Tuesday that the Atlnnta
machinist* were paid lower wages thun
machinists In Macon, Columbus, Sa
vannah and nearly every other South
ern city.
"No one knows better than the
Southern officials,'’ said Mr. McCabe,
"that the local union. Is entitled to i
better scale. Macon machinists get
better wages; so do the machinists In
surrounding cities.
"This strike was well considered be
fore any action was taken. Machinist.*
In Atlanta can’t live and keep out "f
debt nt, $3 per day, and many of them
are forced to work 14 and 15 hours to
keep even. Living expenses are mui b
higher than formerly. £
•Nearly every machinist In the At
lanta union is a married man and h *s
a family, and the need of a higher . a *
scale Is Imperative. The official- f
the road have had the matter befo. j
them from time to time and the str.ke
not a surprise. The machinists u 11
get what they want."
All Out in Macon.

Macon, Oa.. Oct. 9.-—Along with
about 800 others employed on t!ie
Southern system, the machinists em
ployed In the Macon shops of that raid
have gone on strike. Labor leaders In
Macon are of the opinion that the
strike will be of short duration, r 1
that the men will go back to work In
a few days. They point out fhat the
last machinists’ strike on the Southern
was an expensive one to the road and
believe the officials will not care to
have a repetition of the trouble.
