POLO GROUNDS, Oct. 7.--As the
Athletics and Giants took the field at
1885 o'clock for the first game of the
worlds series, thousands of men and
women were still pouring through the
various gates. Dark clouds prevailed.
The Giants began playing catch.
The Athletics lined up to bat. Eddie
Collins hammered the ball against the
right field wall, Rube Oldring smashed
one into the left field seats, then
home run Baker belted one into the
right field stand. If the purpose of
this heavy artillery practice was to
get the goat of the Giants, it seemed
to succeed to some extent.
