in the Eighth.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1o.-The first game
of the worlds championship series be-
tween the New York and Brook.
lyn clubs was played at the polo
grounds this afternoon in the presenca
OF S,44S persons. The interest in the
series is very great, and thousands OF
base ball enthusiasts were unable ia
witness tO-day'S game owing to the in
ability of the elevated and horse cal
railroads to convey them to the grounds.
at all elevated railroad stations down
town the platforms were crowded with
'eranks," but the railroad facilities
were entirely inadequate to the de.
mand. The day was delightful in every
respect. There was not a feck of
cloud in the sky, and the sun shone
with genial warmth, while the wind
was tempered in a most kindly way.
When the Bridegrooms came On tho
grounds at $50 p. m. the enthusiasm
was most marked. They praeticed with
dash that spoke volumes for the work
they would subsequently do, and their
admirers looked on approvingly. Al
2:45 the Giants came upon the field. and
then the crowd cheered wildly. Every
PLAYER came in for his share of the ap-
plauSe, and when the practice was be-
gun every brilliant play. and there were
many of them, was
CREERED TO THE ECHO.
With Umpire Ferguson at the plate
and Gaffney at the first base, the Brook
lyn's took the field. In the first inning
New York went out in one, two. three
order. OBrien was the first 10 face
Keefe, and he hit safe. Then Collins
planted tWo-bagger in left field and
O'Brien went to third. Burns hit for
two bases and O'Brlen and Collins
scored. Foutz and Pinkney were re-
tired on short hits. Then Terry hit
safely, and, with two on bases. Corkhill
sent a tWO-bagger down to left center
field fence, bringing in two runs. Smith
struck out. The inning ended with five
runs 10 BrOoklyn'S credit. By steady
work the Giants had cut the Brooklyn's
lead down to one run at the end of the
sixth inning, and by heavy hitting in
the seventh scored five runs and took
the lead. In the BridegrOOms' half Of
the seventh Wards error and hits by
Burns, FOutZ and Pinkney netted two
runs. The Giants were blanked In the
eighth, and Brooklyn again took tho
lead and won the game, scoring four
runs on hits by Vizner, O'Brien and
FOutZ, and errors by Ward and Gore.
Just as the last man had been put out
Ferguson called the game on account Of
darkness. Great excitement prevailed,
but there was no disturbance. Score:
