by score of 4 to 1 in the initial
game of the worlds championship
series. The game was witnessed by
26,981 persons.

widely argued question Of whether
Chance and his men could hit the
famous Philadelphian received de-
cisive answer. They could not, and

the Athletics, had the Chicagoans at
bis mercy up to the ninth inning,
when he let down bit and the Cubs
got their single tally. 1t was not
earned at that, as Tinker, who scored
the run, was only enabled to make a
single because Thomas had previously
muffed foul from his bat
