Results in Mix-up of

Magnates.
By JESSE F. MATTESON.
Chicago, Oct. 9.—Forty thou
sand men and women, frenzied
with baseball 'enthusiasm,' today
flocked 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 sc
ries between the Chicago White
Stockings and the Chicago Cubs to
decide the championship of the
world.
Only once before since Chicago's
charier 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.
Whole Country 8tirred.
Chicago Is stirred and excited from
the northern limits to the Indiana line.
People bubble with enthusiasm and al
most danoe 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 u|> Its call.for the result.
Winter Weather Prevailed
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 wrapt>ed
up as snugly as If they were on a Jour
ney to a football game. .
The wind'blew from file north at a
velocity of about 30 miles an hour. The
sun refused to shine for many hours,
but finally at 10 o’clock It broke out
and Hooped the city with a dash of
warmth. It was hailed with delight by
those who thought of‘the cold and
cheerless bleachers.
Heavy Clouds Appear.
At 10:30 It had dlsapepared again,
but the heavy clouds appeared to be
broken up and there was a good chance
that It would he shining brightly at the
time the game was scheduled to be
cstled.
At 11 o'clock It grew dark again and
a slight trace 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 Chicago. Each train brought
In from 50 to 200 men'and women who
came to Chicago especially- to see the
WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

first game. Most of them had no tick
ets reserved and they went to the base
ball park early this morning. Many
were standing around the gates at 3
10 a ' m ' !? wa * estimated
that 5,000 were crowding the streets
adjacent to the grounds.
At 11 a. m. ticket sellers arrived at
the grounds and began arranging the
tickets at once. Shortly after thla hour
President Murphy, telephoned them to
open the gates at the earliest possible
moment. , -
Row Over 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
tional League club, engaged In a quar
rel which nearly resulted In blows. The
altercation was over the selection of
umpires for the world’s championship
games.
Murphy did not want any more um
pires than the two already chosen—
U'Laughlln, of the American League,
and Johnstone, of the National League.
Johnson wanted In addition to these
Sheridan, of the American league, and
another from the National League.
What Belligerents Sat'd.
‘Til not stand for two,” shouted Mur
phy.
"You haven't anything to say about
it,” replied Johnson. '
‘The national committee will decide
that question."
‘Til show you who'll manage that;
you’re not going to shovel on me what
I don't want.”
"You're tanking a mighty small part,
was Johnson's answer. Then the two
men leaped to their feet, Johnson tow
ering tar above Murphy.
"You big stiff, I'll hit you on the
Jaw," cried Murphy.
Then smiling, Johnson turned and
left the room.' The question was left
undecided for a time.

WEST SIDE BALL PARK. CHI
CAGO, Oct. 9.—When the game was
about, to start the umpire announced
the batteries as follows:
. Cubs—Brown and Kllng; White Sox
—Altrock and Sullivan.
First Inning.
Sox—The first ball that Brown
pitched was low and curved In close
to Hahn's leg. The umpire called It a
ball. The great pitcher then fired two
straight across the middle of the rubs
her and Hahn struck at them fran
tically. The great pitcher retired the
first Sox batter on strikes.
Manager Jones, the next man tip.
dodged the first ball, which was close
to his head, but the next one he met
on the nose and drove straight to Hoff
man, who played In center field. Isbell
fouled olT two and then put one high In
the air, which fell In the press box
back of Kllng. He missed the third
strike and Brown had laid two Sox
men low by his wonderful curves. No
runs.
Altrock found difficulty In locating
the plate, but finally put one over
which Hoffman slammed to Tannehlll.
Tannehlll made a beautiful throw to
first* and nipped the runner by a step.
Shreckard sent a difficult grounder to
Donohue, but the first baseman handled
It cleanly and Altrock took the throw.
Altrock appeared to be In fine shape
and fooled Shulte with one which
skipped across the plate like lightning.
He had a perfect cross fire and when
he used thla he was moat effective.
Shulte sent one to Tannehlll, who
throw to Donohue Inj plenty of time,
no rune. •
Second Inning.
Rhoe fouled one Into the bleacher
crowd which Kllng would have gotten
had not the crowd been In the way.
The next two were ball*. He fouled the
fourth ball. The next he met aquarely
and drove It atralght to Brown. The
pitcher atopped It and threw to first.
Brown appeared to have everything
and fooled Donohue by three of his
wonderful shqots, Jlgga having struck
out without touching one of t r
pitched. As Dougherty was bi
out aa he crossed the line. No runs.

Sox shortstop. Altrock fed Brown _hls
own medicine compelling t‘
pitcher to fan. No runs.
Fourth Inning.
Hahn was up for the second time and
to a tumultuous burst of cheers' he
tapped to Evers who threw him out
at first. Jones lined a hot grounder at
Brown, but the miner stopped It and
threw the Sox runner out to Chance,
The drive was so hard that It nearly
turned Brown around. Isbell put up a
skyscraper which' nearly touched the
far away kites, but the ball fell Into
the hands of Manager Chance. Up to
this time neither had been able to make
a hit. No runs.
Hoffman, who heads the Cubs - bat
ting order was the first up and the
West Side supporters called upon him
frantically to break things up. His
response was three vicious swipes
which missed everything,, but the at
mosphere and n few snow flakes. A
cheer went up when Shsrknrd clipped
a fast one to Donohue, but this first
baaeman made a brilliant stop which
ended the hopes of the Cubs' rooters
for the time being. Altrock made a
magnificent catch of the ball. . This
was the best play of the game so far.
Schulte was the first man having the
honor to reach first base. He picked
one off the ground and although It was
fielded perfectly by Isbell, Schulte was
able to best the throw to the sack.
Schulte stole second, Sullivan having
him caught perfectly on the throw, but
Isbell dropped the ball. At this Junc
ture there was a big Kick by Jones that
Chanca had struck out, but the objec
tion was not sustained. The Cubq
were In an excellent position to score,
but Chance was unable to meet the
emergency. Altrock made a magnlft-
cent. one-handed atop of his hard hit
ball and retired the man at first, while
the thousands of Whit# Sox rooter*
cheered themaelvea hoarse.

He turned the crank on the outside
