FIRST GAME
FROM CHICAGO
WHITE S0x MEET DEFEAT BY
SNUG SCORE
Hank o'Day Fails to Receive Single
Libel and Good Natured Crowd
Is Happy Over Series
Opening
By J. b. wooDsIDE.


Everybody's happy, everybody's
glad; the White Sox came and saw,
but the Angels conquered by the nice
comfortable score of to 8, which tick
led Hen Berry until he fairly shed be-
nign rays of sympathy upon the Chi
cago rooters in the front box.
Thus ended the first chapter of the
ante-season baseball series between
Comiskey's Americans and the defend
ers of the diamond honors of Los An
geles And ]. was a glorious ending
Not such a game as would carry the
crowd into apoplexy or even place the
winners in the seventh heaven of eX-
pectation, but an excellent first day eX-
hibition of the national sport without
pomp or ceremony.
The fans were there TO a person. and
even the small boy who watches faith
fully but afar off, from a distant tele-
graph pole, was in evidence, and every
one was willing to make allowance for
thumby fingers and stiff joints There
was a climax, of course, when the score
was tied and when the Hoganites be-
gan to see the road to victory after
registering the balancing run. But as
big Charley Comiskey himself said:
I'VE haven't lost a pa. ticle of hope,
and all we wanted was to gulp down
the sunshine the first day, anyway"
Angels Will Win More
Not so Henri. The corpulent king of
the local aggregation dubbed out that
the defeat was only one of dozen
that is coming to the tourists.
Introductions and renewals of old
time acquaintances were in order on
every hand. AS an eastern player was
recognized by someone who perhaps
saw him perform back home a joy
full ''highball' was signaled to the idol
and the fan settled down in his seat
contentedly. Jakey Atz was one among
the Sox who was kept busy acknoWl-
edging greetings from the bleachers,
and everyone who remembered him in
anothe4 uniform gave him personal at
tention.
Hank O'Day, the pater familias of the
whole umpire tribe. determined the
points of dil )ute, and during the entire
game not one substitute for his real
name was heard.
