HICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 6.-Be-
- fore a crowd of 3, 900 yell
ing fans, the Chicago White
.Sox, winners of the American
League pennant, nosed ont the
New York Giants, winners OF
the National League pennant,
by a score of 2 to | in the first
game of the 1917 series for the
worlds baseball championship.
Both clubs put up championship
caliber of ball and there was little to
pick between them. The fnield and
outfields OF both teams worked like
well-oiled machines as the error col
umn shows. New York disappointed
its supporters in failing to do heavy
stick work in the pinches.
Happy" Felsch, centeriielder for
the Chisox, won the battle in the
fourth inning when he smashed hon.
er into the left field bleachers. In
the previous innings John Collins, al
ter tapping a safety scored from first
when McMuIlen cracked double into
deep right field. The Giants made
desperate effort to come back and
succeeded in scoring in the fifth
frame. Lew Mccarthy trippled and
Slim Sallee nursed him home with
single.
AS the later innings show the Giants
repeatedly allowed their runners to
die on the bags even Bonnie Kauff
failing to come through with men on
the stations. With this exception the
stick work of both clubs was ON par.
Siuggers Are Helpless
Both "Slim" Sallee of the Giants
and Eddie Cieotte of the Chisox per.
formed nobly, the best siuggers on
both teams popping flies in many
pincfes. Cicotte did not attempt to
use the shine" ball but employed his
famous knuckle throw which has
peculiar break in the vicinity OF the
plate. Both Zimmerman and Kaulf
appeared powerless under his delivery.
Sallee had the Indian sign on Jack
son but was unable TO handle John
Collins, who collected three hits in
four times up to bat.
The Chisox men appeared to be in
a nervous frame of mind during the
opening innings while the Giants we're
all at ease up to the end of the frs.
half of the third inning, when they
almost scored on Herzog.s hot one
to center. With Chicagos turn at bat
in the third the home players hurled
themselves into The game, grabbing
victory while the Giants were still
getting ready for the final squirt.
The Chisox base runners, famous for
their Merry thefts, did not attempt
their usual style Of play except in one
or two instances, and on those occa.
sions the runners were caught fiat.
