Clans His Hands and Shows
Enthusiasm as White
SoX Beat Giants.
ENGLAND GETS TASTE
OF REAL BASEBALL
Big Crowd Turns Out to See
Touring Players Go Eleven Fast
and Furious Innings.

Giants and White SoX played here TO-
dav. He was thrilled just as every
baseball "rooter" the world over Is
thrilled when a long hit breaks UP an
eleven inning game.
II is true that his majesty did not
slap the Earl Of Lonsdale on the BACK
nor did he jam Baron Desboroughs hat
about his ears. after the manner of the
spectators from Chicago, but he clapped
his hands and cried well Played
And indeed it was in spite Of the
soggy field, for the White Sox took the
victory from the Giants only after
eleven innings Of red hot baseball. The
score was > 10 4. More than thirty
thousand persons were in the stands at
the Chelsea Football Field when the
game began.
Walter Hines Page, the American
Ambassador, sat beside the King. ready
10 explain any difficult points Of play
but he found that there was sur
prisingly little for him to tell. When
Faber, who was pitching for the
Giants, retired the side without a run
after filling the bases with only one
out, his majesty applauded with as
much vigor as any one in the big sta
dunn.
Later in the game, when Faber threw
a high in-shoot at the head Of Buck
Weaver, the King smiled as the player
fell fat 10 save himself An American

all his party burst into hearty laugh

All the baseball tourists had a good
time except Germany Schaefer The

the crowd He conhded TO friends af
ter the game that Jimmy Callahan had

Comic relief came from an unex-
pected source. For some reason or
other the English took Bill KLEIN. the
umpire as a comic character. and,
much to the chagrin Of the official,
greeted every move and every an
nouncement he made with roars Of
laughter
Although the game was a splendid
example Of the best that baseball has
10 offer in the way Of excitement, 1t
must be confessed that IN the minds Of
many of the English spectators wonder
was the strongest emotion. They sat
dazed. or. If they did applaud q play,
Il was at the wrong time.
When Larry Doyle seized an easy
grounder and threw the ball far over
Merkle's head. a thousand Englishmen
cheered his strength Of arm. Again,
when jim Thorpe raised a towering
pop fly right in front of the plate, many
applauded for the man who could hit
a ball so high.
Americans in all parts OF England
hocked 10 London TO see a game Of ball
again. The dictum that one must do
in Rome as the Romans do was thrown
10 the winds. In the seventh inning

A New Yorker was heard to remark:

ham sandwiches I'd feel that I was
home again"
AS soon as the King arrived the
players gathered in front Of tho royal
box which was protected by heavy
wire netting and gave nine "rahs'
with three King Georges" on the end.
The royal sportsman was very much
pleased and bowed his acknowledge
ments several times. \ foul from the
bat OF Dick Egan broke a window
above the Kings box and his Majesty
accepted a piece of the broken glass
as a souvenir Of the game.
At the end of the ninth inning the
score was a tie at two runs each. In
the first Of the tenth the Giants
knocked Scott from the box and Benz
took his place. Sam Crawford squared
accounts by bringing home himself
and a man on second by mighty
drive TO centre field.
