FIRST GAME Of
SER|ES|S WON
BY PH|L[|ES

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S-The first
game of the Worlds Series resulted
in a victory for the Quaker City team
by a score of three to one. The game
commenced at two o'clock, and despite
a drizzling rain which set in at eight
this morning and continued until
eleven the grounds were in fair con-
dition, and the game was played in a
speedy fashion. The sun came out
just before the game commenced and
assured a fine afternoon. Boston out
hit the Phillies, making eight hits to
their opponents five and the official
scorers registered one error for each
team. The capacity of the grounds
was taxed to hold the crowd of enthu-
siastic fans, and many were refused
admittance because of lack of room
Ground rules had to be established be-
cause of the crowd in center field
Grover Cleveland Alexander pitched
for the winning team and was ably
seconded behind the bat by Burns
The battery for the Red Sox was
Ernest Shoere and Cady. Both teams
play here tomorrow.

TOLOvANA
$4,000

Falcon Jaslin, president of the
Tanana Valley railroad, arrived in Cor
dova last night from Fairbanks. He
made the trip overland to Chitina in
one of Thomas Gibson's Ford machines
and he was six days on the trail, the
roads being in an almost impossible
condition in places. From Rapids to
Yost's there was from one to two feet
of snow and from Parsons to Gul.
kama the mud was almost knee deep.
The only decent piece of trail was
from Gulkana to Chitina, this dis
lance of seventy-five miles being COW
cred in less than five hours.
Mr.. Joslin is very optomistic as
to the future of Tolovana and says it
is only question as to how large a
camp 1t VIII be. ropUrus -uraU
plenty of good pay has been found on
Livingood creek, aid there is some
there is a large watershed with big
streams and good gold prospects.
Thusf far but one hole has been sunk,
but a dozen outfits intend working
there this winter and the next three
months should demonstrate the value
of the ground.
Since leaving Fairbanks Mr.. Joslir
received word that Gus Peterson ar
rived there with a poke of $500 in
gold dust, representing his cleanup
and Kinney and Franklin uncovered
a nugget at Tolovana, weighing 81
ounces. 1t is estimated that the sea
sons output at the new camp will bt
100000.
