Philadelphia, Oct. 1S.-Big Orville
Overall got a worse pounding from
the Athletics swatters than ever he
got from the Stanford footballeT
back in those dear old college days,
when the big &C" he wore stood for
California and not Chicago. The
Philadelphlans beat him up in three
innings and got runs enough TO stow
away the first game of the series for
the worlds championship, four runs
20 one.
Collegian Bender, who used to
wear a Carlisle &C." had the Indian
sign on the Cubs, the National league
champions. Indian sign is said ad-
visedly. Bender was there with ter
rife speed and he clipped the corners
for batter after batter. For eight
innings he pitched so well that 1t
looked as IL Frank Schulte's single in
the first inning would be the total of
the Cub clouting. But the Cubs are
not so easy to stop, and their dying
effort in the ninth was very near a
tying rally. They got two hits off
Chief Al then, and with an error
m ade run of ii, but Bender made
one strikeout. another roll the ball 70
the second baseman and still another
hit into force, so the rally perished
h-borning.
II was a game worthy the opening
OF the momentous struggle The
Cubs, masters of inside and outside
baseball, mighty on the paths and ter
rife with the bats, were a tame lot
almost all the way. They could not
get TO Bender and they found that
the Athletic defense was pretty near
tmpregnable.
The Mackmen wouldn't make or
rors and they handled everything in
fne style. And as for catchers, why,
Thomas to Collins turned back Frank
Schultz twice, and he was the Cnly
one of the Cubs who tried to steal.
And what's more, the only stolen
base Of the game is credited to Muir
ply of the Athletics. so the early
predictions that King would turn
them all back weren't verified.
The surprise of the contest was
the pitching OF Harry Mcintyre
whom the Cubs got from the Brook
lyns while ago. It must have
wrenched the feelings of his ex.boss,
Charley Ebbetts, who was there, to
see the way Mcintyre handled the
situation. The Athletics got one hit
off him in the five innings lie was on
the slab. To be sure that one hit was
a double that almost flew to the right
field fence, and it drove in Eddie Col
Inns, who was on third, because Nc
Intyre gave him a base on balls and
then threw wild to first to catch him
mapping. That was the only time
Mcintyre wasn't in good form, but
tuS Hltt sNthNS Nohliht III s'lu1liNN
accounted for a run. Mcintyre, how
ever, showed form most of the way
that made it appear he would have
done good execution had he been in
the box all the time. However, he
wasn't, and the Athletics won, and 1t
was bully good contest.
Cold fact requires It to be said that
the attendance was not 10000, but
26.s91; that is to say, those who had
paid admissions. The total receipts
were s37,424.50. OF this the players
share is s2O,2O923; each club gets
s6.T36.41, and the national commits
