 There is football. eleven in this city. which have live energetic players in the lineup. It seems that the team was in need of new football and as the finances were low, the boys de- scided that they go to work and raise the jack. So last night when the Herald apeared on the street contain ing a complete account of the Giants Tanks battle, several of the team started in to sell the Herald, and they met with so much success that the team is now assured of the needed football
 It was an extremely happy bunch of Giant fans that left the front of the Herald building yesterday after noon, after the McGraw men had copped the opening game of the world series.
 The followers of the Tanks, while they were supremely confident in the ability of Joe Bush to win the opener, are not disheartened over the loss. The splendid hitting .and fielding of the team encouraged the Hugmen rooters, and believing that "one swal- low does not make a summer" a cleanup is anticipated from now on
 John McGraw must have been very happy man yesterday but it is doubtful if he showed any more sat- isfaction over the opening result than did Judge George W. Klett The judge has long been an ardent rooter for the National league champions.
 Those who have been handing it to Manager Higgins in the past few seasons got something in the line of argument to put forth for a while to his defenders. Why he ever allowed Bush to remain on the mound and be slaughtered the way he was in that eighth inning, forms a basis for the critics of Miller in their argument.
 That the Giants are never beaten no matter how far behind the team may be, was shown in yesterdays game. With the score to against them. and Bush pitching superb ball, the National leagners just kept bang ing away, with the result we'll earned victory.
 Heinie Groh, who was prior to yes terday's game looked upon as the prize bust in the National league, came through in great style. The former star of the Reds collected three hits in as many times at, bat, Bush passing him on the third ap- pearance at the rubber.
 Groh gets credit for making the first hit of the series. Dugan scored the first run of the game, and 1t was on Ruths hit, at that.
 Ruths use the willow was noth- ing to cause his boosters to go into All ho ex-Sultan of Swat hit timely single, but he also hit the ozone three healthy clouts on two occasions. One other time he forced a runner at sec ond base.
 Ross Young, regarded as one of the best outfeders in the National league, was credited with two errors. He, however, made a catch of fly ball with two men on bases, turning the capture into a double play, and shutting off a sure tally.

 "The Giants play like the Corbin champs" unused John Francis Tobin last night. You see the local cham pions always played their best when the other team was several runs ahead, and that's what the National leaguers did yesterday he added.
 Joe Bush was about as effective f against the Giants, at times yester- day, as was Mccormick against the Corbin team.
