 BEAT CUBS First Game of Worlds Series for The Championship THE CHIPPEWEs SKILL
Largely Responsible for the Philadelphias' Victory - The Great Overall of Chi cagos Removed From Box After Third Inning.

Philadelphia, Oct 17.-In q clean sharply played game, the Philadelphia American league champions defeated the Chicago Cubs, the premier team of the National league at Shibe park today, to 1, in the first game of the series to decide the worlds champion ship. Nearly 30,O0O persons saw the game.
 To Charles Albert Bender, the Chip pewa Indian pitcher, and Frank Baker, the third baseman, Philadelphia large ly owes its victory.
 The Chief never showed better form than when he faced the Chicago men. Bakers contribution was his hard and timely hitting
 The Americans found Overall rath- CT easily and after the third inning. Manager Chance retired him, and sent Mcintyre into the box The latter promptly stopped the Athletics, and held them without a hit until the eighth inning, when Baker hit to the right field wall for two bases
 Besides getting only three hits, the Athletics took from the New York Nationals in the worlds series of 1905. allowed the Chicago men but three hits, one in the first inning by Schulte, and two in the ninth, and not one Cub reached second base until the final inning.
 If 1t had not been for the. muffing of Tinkers foul fly by Thomas in the ninth, the Cubs would have been disposed of with but two hits as the little shortstop hit the next ball for clean single and took second on Strunk's tumble.
 The big Indian was as steady as clock and appeared to be the master at every stage of the game.
 Besies getting only three hits, the Cubs were able to work him for only two bases on balls. and Schulte got both these, one in the fourth, the other in the ninth.
 Overall got away with the first in- ming in fine shape though Collins singled, but he got into deep trouble in the second when the home team batted him for three hits, and one double. He also gave a base on balls in this inning. In the third he was found for a single and a double.
 Third baseman Baker was the only man on either team to get more than one hit. He landed on the ball for two doubles and a single, scoring one run himself and driving in two others out of the total of four. Lord was the only other man to hit for an eX- tra base.
 Except for a hard running catch by Scheckard, of a long fly off Of Murphy's bat in the seventh inning, and several hard stops by Baker and Barry, the fielding was not sensa- tional.
 The only base stolen was by Murphy who reached second base on a high pitched ball which Kling could not bring down in time for a try to the second bag.
 The Athletics much discussed weak ness behind the bat did not show it. self. as Thomas had the ball down to second ahead of the runner each time it was tried. Only two at tempts were made, both by Schulte.
 The crowd was not the largest that ever attended baseball game in this city. The official count of attend ance was 26,9S1 the total receipts, s37. .424. 50. Of this amount the play CTS will receive s20,20923. the club owners $12,472S2, and the national commission, $3,742.45.
 The failure of a record breaking crowd was due partly to the inability of thousands to obtain reserved seat tickets, and to the fact that the. po- lice would not permit anyone to stand in the aisles of the grand stand Outside the grounds enterprising householders whose homes overlooked the field, erected bleacher seats on the roofs and sold them at from A to $5 each.
 Brown will probably pitch for Cni- caeo tomorrow, and Coombs for Pnli- adelphia.
