San Francisco. Cal, Nov. 14.-Four
thousand fans composed the reception
committee at Oakland yesterday after.
noon in the first game OF five-game
series on the bay between the globe
girdling White SoX and Giants.
The sun won a 12-hour battle with
the mist. although it was little chilly

to give the coast fans an exciting bat
tie, which went to the SoX, to ,.
"Reb" Russell was right and his
support sparkled, while a costly error
by Jim Thorpe behind Hooks" Wiltse
practically cost the Giants the game,
as they eventually pounded in run
in the ninth, while the SoX were not
entitled to anything in the seventh,
when four runs went across.
McGRAW DRAWS "CAN."
To enliven the proceeding Manager
McGraw and Umpire Klein had bat

the trip the Giant pilot was the John

which meant Punishment for McGraw.
AS Mike Donlin also wanted to get
in a word at Klein for which he has
been aching for several days. he also
went to the clubhouse McGraw did
not have anything in particular To
kick about. but the accumulation OF
rain and train service Wednesday
worked on his nerves and he took it
out on the imp.
The game itself was scrappy enough,
as the players went the limit to win.
The field was heavy, but more
speed was shown on the bases than
has been the case for several days.
The SoX opened upon Wiltse in the
first, when Weaver beat out an in
field hit and Grawford's single brought
him in.

The duel between Whistler and Jack

game. Whistler is much lighter than
his opponent. but possesses speed and
the same ability TO pick his holes and

be one of the best ever staged in
