BOSTON GETS BREAKS AND WINS, 1 10 |

to the batters failed to work.
 The enchanted spear by Scott of Vaughn's hot grounder in the seventh inning provided the one spectacular feature of the contest. It was a beau tiful play but at the time the Cubs were not threatening. The whole nine innings failed to produce hit for ex- tra bases, nor any real test of speed for the outfielders.
 George Whiteman, Boston utility outf1elder, starred in the outheld for Boston, and doubtless prevented the Cubs from scoring. He also was tke only man of the invaders to make two hits, one of which figured in Boston's tally.
 Vaughn's momentory weakness in the fourth inning cost him the game. Shean, the first man up for Boston, walked when the giant Cub twirler at tempted to work the corners on Um- pire O'Day. Strunk, who followed. flied to Vaughn on an attempted sac rifice and Whiteman delivered bis second blow. sending Sheau to second. Paskert's quick return prevented the Red Sox second baseman from taking third McInnis single to left scored Shean while Whiteman moved up to second. Scott popped to Deal and Whiteman scrambled back to the key stone sack just in time to beat the Cub third baseman's peg to second. Vaughn mixed them to Thomas, who swung heavily at three wide ones. This ended the inning for Boston and the scoring also. Boston never threat ened again.
 The premier brand of Ruths pitch ing was the chief factor in the Cub defeat, although the superb support rendered by his team mates assisted ir repuising the Cub attack. Had the Nationals been able to bunch their blows on the Boston pitcher the game would have been over in the first, when Mann singled after two were out and took third on Paskert's Texas leaguer to left field. Markla was passed, f:yng the bases. With the game depending on his next offering, Ruth served up A low, fast ball to Pick, at the same time waving his outfielders back toward the bleAchefs and the Cub second baseman dropped a high fly to Whiteman, closing the l inning. Whiteman captured the ball after a hard run and earned laurels thereby. To have missed it would have meant two runs for the locals
 Whiteman stepped ill between the Cubs and victory again in the sixth With one out Paskert singled b cen ter, taking third when Merille bounced a grounder over Ruth's head and into center field. Pick grounded out tc l McInnis, unassisted, and Stuffy's quick throw from first held the Cub center fielder at third. A moment later Whiteman again stepped into the fore and raced across the field 2f.er Deals long fly to deep left. He captured il l ef3 C saved, for the Cubs never threatenei again. !

SPORTING NOTES.

George Gibson the major league catcher has a son with the Canadian contingent in France.
 France has increased her game re- stricting since the beginning of the war and had her first open season on birds last year.
 Capt. R. c. Rice, who represented the United Kingdom in the spring at the Olympic games at Stockhom in 1882, has been wounded in France.
 Among the latest old timers to re- turn to active service in the big leagues is Tommy Leach who was re- leased to the minors a number of years ago.
 Elmer Smith the young Rochester catcher is reported to be the find of the year in the minor leagues. No less than fourteen major league clubs are after his services.
 Johnny Summers a famous English boxer has been slightly wounded in 1 action and is now in a French hospi- 1 tal He won from Johnny Britt in London in 1909. He lost few months later to Freddy Walsh. Football will be resumed on a be- fore the war scale in the Western Conference this fall in spite of the opposition of President Bryan of h. diana. At Minnesota all profits vii

Chicago, Sept. 5.-One of the small est crowds which ever turned out for a worlds series opening today saw the Boston Red Sox, of the American Lea que. defeat the Cubs of the National League, 1 to o, in an errorless game.
 The battle was between two eminent, representatives of what the dictionary calls the family hippopotamidae- namely, Hippo" Vaughn of the Cubs, and the hippo rejoicing in the name of Babe" Ruth.
 These two giants fought it out all the way and although Ruth allowed six hits to his opponents five, the break" went to the invaders and they were consequently making confident claims to the worlds championship tonight.
 The effect of the war was every where apparent, especially in the tenn per of the crowd which, largely local saw the home team drop the first game without a protest. There was no cheering during the contest, nor was there anything like the usual umpire batting.
 Today's attendance was 19,247. Rain caused postponement of the first game scheduled for, yesterday. Today the downpour had ceased and the grounds were comparatively dry. The sun shone fitfully and there was a stiff, chilly breeze from the north. No seats were occupied in the upper tier of | the second floor of the grandstand, and the right section of the stand vir- tually empty. In the left section there were many vacant chairs. A number | of boxes also were without occupants, and in the bleachers the three lower rows all around the field were vacant. War taxes, the high cost of living, curtailed railroad service at advanced prices, the weather the shortened sea- son and over all the shadow of the war, were said to account for the in difference of the public. The dyed in the wool fans were there but not the general public.
 The left field bleachers space, usual ly given over to the virtures of a cer- | tain chewing gum, admonished the crowd to keep the glow in old glory, and the right field space commanded buy war savings stamps, and do it now"
 At intervals six airplanes from the war station at the lake front reminded the spectators that baseball is not an essential industry. Even the brass band was cut down to a war basis of l twelve pieces and it attracted most | lAlCHliOli WilCH IL pldyNu IliV CIol Spangled Banner" On this occasion players and audience stood respect fully, Fred Thomas among them Thomas. third baseman for Boston was in Red Sox uniform by grace of a fourteen days furlough from mthe Great Lakes naval training station
 One thrill was granted the crowd aside from the game and that was what must have happened to the as- pirations of the ticket spectators They had unlimited seats which they attempted to sell at double and ever treble normal prices.
 Even the electric score board failed to rise to the occasion.
 Spectators were reminded by in- numerable hawkers that you can't tell the players without a score card but purchasers not familiar with the game found they could not anyway . for that portion of the board devoted

 At Pinehurst trapshooting tourna- ment last January the ground was covered with snow. The glare both cred the shooters until R. D. Morgan former champion of Maryland told of the device used in Alaska to defeat glare, namely, blackening the side of the nose and the cheeks under the eyes.
 Babe Ruth's work during the past season recalls other pitchers who were among the leading swatsmiths of their teams. Among them are Walter Ben Tincup. Grover Alexander, Eddie Cicotte, Earl Hamilton, Gene Packard, Claude Hendrix, Clarence Mitchell and Lefty Tyler. There are many others. Then remember George Sisler started as pitcher.
 The popular idea of fighting deer pictures them with locked horns. Elk however fight erect on their hind legs with their heads thrown back.

WHAT THE MANAGERS
 HAVE TO SAY

Chicago Sept. 5.-'It was the first test. of strength and the breaks were against us" said Fred Mitchell man. ager of the Cubs, tonight. However, cridit is due Ruth for his wonderful pitching. The Cubs have ferreted out the weak spots of the Red Sox and the score will tell different story tomorrow. I haven't decided who l shall pitch, but it is likely to be Tyler"
 We got the jump on them today and confident of repeating tomorrow" said Manager Barrow of the Boston club. Ruth pitched great ball and I certainly shall start him back at the Cubs when we play in Boston. haven't made up my mind who shall pitch tomorrow. It will either be Mays or Bush. Baseball is a long way from dead, judging on the enthus- iasm and size Of today's crowd. We will even have a bigger opening day crowd in Boston,

New York. Sept. 5.-The restraining influence of the local financial inter ests was again a potent factor Tn to- days stock market. prices yielding an average of one to 1 1-2 points on pronounced curtailment of trading af- ter the moderately active first hour.
 Promise of easier money, as sug- gested by yesterdays slight relaxa- tion, was not fulfilled. Call loans were maintained at recent high levels, and virtually no time funds were avail able. An expansion of business was reported in bank acceptances.

 Some of the independent steels and equipments were firmer, early gains in those divisions ranging from large fractions to l 1-2 points.
 Oils and tobaccos again were fa- vored by pools, mostly at material ad- vances, and copper responded to the better trade outlook, American Smelt- ing making an extreme gain of almost two points.
 There was a marked increase of ac- tivity in the various automobile is sues, General Motors gaining four points and Studebaker 1-2 Motor subsidiaries also improved moderately.
 Rails forfeited early gains at mid day, but came forward again in the final dealings. retrieving the market from its otherwise irregular tone. Hide and leather preferred was heavy and shippings eased with minor special ties. Total sales were 390,000 shares
 Gains of to 10 1-2 points in some of the underlying issues of the New Haven road and it's subsidiaries were the striking features of the bond mar ket, investment issues holding steady to firm. Total sales, par value, az gregated s7,450,00O. Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.
