PRICE: FANSFLOCK TO CHAMP GAME Chicago Crowded the Great Ball Contest. for WINTER WEATHER NIPS SPECTATORS Bow Over Umpires Nearly Results in Mix-up of the Big League 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 IS INAUGURATED IN CHICAGO 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. THE GAMeTiTdETAIL. By Private Leased Wire to The Geor glan. 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.

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.
