1t was a fine day, a fine field and
a great crowd but the game between
the New York mastodons and the Chi
cago stockings here Wednesday after
noon was loosely played.
A combination of a high sky, a scalped
combination of a high sky, a scalped
diamond, covered with sand, and
high altitude prevented the two big
league teams from playing first dlVls-
ion ball The Sox got to MatheWson
in the first inning for three hits and
three runs, Whereupon the big Six
person retired to the bench and
Hearne went in to pitch. The lack
OF rivalry was also a damper on the
ginger OF the game, the Giants being
most affected by the lack of spirit.
Fans enjoyed seeing Big Chief Mey-
ers, Jim Thorpe, Larry Doyle and
Christy MatheWsOn in action and John
McGraw coaching from the bench. The
preliminary stunts proved more inter-
esting than the actual game for the
players pulled number of big league
plays, fungo hitting and the famous
pitchers warmed up in front of the
grand stand

big league game and his intrOductlons

other wonders at odd times. he
opened his announcement by introduce
