New YORK, Oct. 16-The first of the Sc
rieS of games for the worlds champion
ship games was played at the polo grounds
today before $500 people. 1t was good
game, exciting at first but rather slow to-
ward the close. 1t was a pitchers battle
throughout, King and Keefe being about
equally matched. Mccarthy made a great
running catch. Gaffney was behind the
bat and Kelly on the bases and both gave
satisfaction. Many of the league and aSSo-
citation members We're present.
The Giants took the lead by scoring the
first run. Conner made a hit and so did
Ward. 4 wild pitch advanced each a
base and Conner scored on Slattery's out
to Lyons.
St. Louis got run in the third inning,
Latham getting first on balls, took second
ond on wild throw by Ewing, third on
an error by Slattery and scored on a hit by
O'Neil.
New York took the lead in the third
with one more run. Tiernan went to first
on balls, took second on wild throw by
Boyle, and as Lyons allowed the ball to
pass him, Tiernan scored on the error.
