WHITE SOX WIN
THE FIRST GAME
AMERICANS SCORE TWO RUNS
OFF BROWN
over Twelve Thousand People Gather
to See Opening Contest Of cham-
pIonship Series on Chicago
Diamond
By Associated press.

-'3V ASHOclateO HreSS.
CHICAGO, oct. 9-The Chicago
team Of the American league won from
the National league pennant winners
today by score of to in the first
game of the worlds championship
series.
The game furnished a fine sample
of modern baseball, wherein the fine
points of the game are more In evil
dence than the slugging of other days,
but Il was an error of puerile char
acter which gave the American league
team its winning margin. And that
error also is the reason that tonights
supporters of the winning team, erst-
while demanding odds in the betting,
are willing to take even money on the
series.
At 8 o'clock this morning the van
guard of enthusiasts who had not Sc
cured reserved seats lined up In front
of the box office of the National league
park. BY noon, wehn the gates were
opened, several thousand men were
waiting, and within an hour and a
half most of the persons who expected
to see the exhibition were in their
seats.
Ticket spectators, warned by the
early arrest of eight of their number,
soon disappeared. The streets were
lined with hawkers selling flags pins,
megaphones, photographs of the play
ers and souvenirs. Snow fell several
times during the afternoon and was
making a good showing when at 2:30
o'clock the game was begun.
The regular grandstand, the boxes
in front of 1t and fifty cent bleachers
and the circus seats surrounding the
IL.
bunded-up crowd whose nerves were
so much on edge that they were at
the point where cheering acts as a
safety valve.
The crowd made circle clear
around the field. One hundred police
men were on hand to preserve order,
and for the first time in years they
succeeded, aided partly by wire cables
strung around the field and partly by
the fact that only 1893 persons were
present. 1t had been expected that
over 10000 enthusiasts would be there
to cheer their favorites, but the COOL
ness of the weather, the possibility of
rain and fear that seats could not be
obtained kept thousands away.
1t was the lot of Rightfielder Hahn,
of the American league team, to walk
before $4,000 pairs Of eyes as the first

ones, thus becoming the first of seven
men who were to perform likewise be-
fore Pitcher Brown.
For four innings it was machine
made baseball Of perfect type only
one man-Schulte, of the Nationals,
reaching first base. Schultz stole sec
ond, and Captain Chance, with grim
determination written in the lines of
his face, changed bats and faced
Pitcher Altrock. Chance swung vi
ciously, but his hot grounder was
nipped by Altrock with one hand and
thta chance to score was gone.
In the first half of the fifth, how
ever, Robe electrified the crowd by
sending a stinging hit down the third
base line and under the temporary
benches in Sheckards territory, reach
ing third on the hit. Donohue struck
