Philadelphia, Oct 17.--In clean,
sharply played game the Philadel-
pnia American League champions le,
feated the Chicago Cubs, National
League champions, this afternoon,
four to one, in tne first contest OF
the worlds series. To Charles Albert
Bender, the Ch ppewa Indian pitcher,
AMI to Frank Baker third baseman,
the Philadelphia team largely owes
the victory. The Chief" never
showed better form. Bakers contri-
hnton was his timely hitting. Phila
delphia found Overall rather easily
after the third inning; Chance was
compelled to send in Mcintyre.
Bender allowed C1icagc three hits,
one in the first by Shuttle and two in
tie ninth Not one Cub reached sec
ond until the final inning. If It had
not been for the muffing of Tinker's
foul fly by Thomas in the ninth, Chi
cago would have been disposed OF
with but two hits. as Little 7 mixer
hit the next ball for a clean single
and took second on otrunts fG3,b!e,

letics, hit single, but he got into
trouble in the second when the locals
battei him for three hits, one dor-
HE. He also gave base on balls
in this inning, In the third he was
touched for a single and a double.

man on either team TO get more than
one hit He landed two doubles and
a single, scoring one run for himself

total OF four Lord was the only otn-
er man to hit for an extra base.
Except for a hard running catch
by Sheckard of long fly by Murphy
in the seventh and several hard stops
by Baker and Barry. the fielding was
not sensational.
One Stolen Base
The only base stolen was by Muir
phy. who reached second on a high
pitched ball which King couldn't
bring down n tine for try to the
center bag.
The crowd was not the largest that
ever attended a game here. The Of

club owners $13,47S.S2; National
commission $S.7i245 The failure Of

inability of thousands to obtain re-
served seat tickets and to the fact
that the police gpnld not permit any
one to stand in the a;sies of the
