Athletics Win Opener to MURPHY Bats in First
Run-Giants and Hghlanders Go 10 Innings to a
Tie-Other Sports.

Philadelphia, Oct. lin a clean and
sharply played game the Philadelphia
American league baseball champions
defeated the Chicago Cubs, the premier
team of the National league, at Shibe
park this afternoon by the score of 4
decide the worlds championship. Near
ly 10000 persons saw the game.
Big Indian Showed Great Form.
To Charles Albert Bender, the Chip
pewa Indian pitcher, and to Frank
Baker the third paseman, the Phila-
delphia team largely owes it's victory.
The chief never showed better form
than he did wnen he faced the Chicago
men this afternoon. Bakers valuable
contribution was his hard and timely
hitting. On the other hand, the Amer
lean champions found Overall rather
easy and after the third inning Mana
ger Chance was compelled to retire
the star pitcher and send Mcintyre
into the box. The latter promptly
stopped the Athletics and held them
without a hit until the eighth inning.
when Baker landed on one Of his
curves for a terrific smash to the right
field wall for two bases.
Bender who won the only game the
Athletics took from the New York Ma
tionalS in the worlds series in 1905,
allowed the Chicago men but three
hits, one in the first inning by Schultz
and two in the ninth, and not one Cub
reached second base until the final in
ming. II it had not been for the muff-
ing of Tinker's foul fly by Thomas in

been disposed OF with but two hits, as

getting only three hits, the National
leagusrs were able to work him for
only two bases on balls; and Schultz
got both of these.
Overall. who was elected by Cap
tain CHARGE to win the 1rst game got
away with the first inning in fine
shape. though Collins. the star second
basernan of the Athletics hit a single
But he got into deep trouble in the
second, when the home team bait ed

Third Baseman Baker was the only
man on either team to get more than
one hit. He landed on the ball for two

of the total of four. Lord was the
only other man to hit for an extra
base.
Only Base Stolen Was by Murphy.
Except for a hard running catch by
Sheckard of a long fly off Murphy in
the seventh. and several hard stops by
Baker and Barry, the fielding was not
sensational.
The only base stolen was by Murphy
who reached second base on a high
pitched ball which king could not
bring down in time for a try to the
center bag. The Athletics much dis
cussed weakness behind the bat did not
show itself. as Thomas had the ball
down to second ahead of the runner
each time a steal was attempted Only
two attempts were made, both by
Schultz.

Attendance 26,8e1.

The crowd that saw the game was
not the largest that ever attended a
baseball game in this city The official
count of the attendance was 26,S9l and
the total receipts S37,424.50. OF this
amount the players will receive $2O.-
209.23; the club owners s13,472.S2, and
the national commission $3,742.45.
The failure of a record crowd to at
tend was due partly to the inability OF
thousands to obtain reserved seat tick
cts and to the fact that the police de-
partment would not permit anyone to
stand in the aislas of the Srandstand.
The national commission had arranged
to sell several thousand standing room
tickets in the big pavilion, but after IS
OF them had been disposed of the police
shut down on the sale.
Bieachers Filled Two Hours in Ad-
vance.
The bleacher seats were packed and
there were several thousand persons
crowded behind the ropes in right and
left fields.
The bleachers were filled two hours
before the game began, several thou

OF the night at the gates of Shibe park
In order to get good seats.
Outside the grounds enterprising
.hOuseholders whose homes overlooked
the playing field erected bleacher seats
on the roofs and sold them at from So
to S. each.
The big game was late in getting
started due to a long conference over
ground rules, owing to the crowd in
the field and over the question of per-
hitting moving picture men on the
field while the game was in progress.
The picture men had placed them
selves behind the home plate. but were
made to place their cameras against
the grand stand behind first and third
base.
How the Game Was Played.
When Bender slowly walked to the
pitchers box he was given a splendid
ovation. His great record for the sea-
son was remembered by the crowd
and the Philadelphia rooters settled
back confidently. believing that the
Chief would continue to show his great
form.
Sheckard was the first man up
fouled off the first ball pitched and
the crowd cheered. The next was
strike and with two more heaves of
the Indians mighty arm the batter
went out on strikes Schultz the
next man up, then sent a clean single
to left. He attempted to steal second
but was headed off by Thomas beau
tiful throw. Holman was an easy out
In the Athletics half Strunk and
Lord were easy outs, but Collins got
in a hit to left. He attempted to pill
fer second, but was thrown out by
King.
"Hit 'Er Out, Murphy" Yelled the
Crowd.
Chicago was easily disposed of in
the second inning, Chance and Stein
feldt going out on grounders and Zim-
norman on a foul fly Baker, the first
man UP for Philadelphia, brought the
spectators to their feet by a two-base
hit into the lett field crowd and was
sent to third on Davis pretty sacri-
