Polo Grounds, New York, September 30 - Behind the seYen-hit pitching of lean, lanky Carl Hubbel, the New York Giants captured the opening game of the 1886 World Series from their fel- low-townsmen, the Yankees, in a game played in a sea of mud this afternoon. The final score was 6-1.
 Little Gus MancuSo, back stop for the National League pen- nant winners, singled in the 9th, to score Mel Ott, who had dou- bled a moment before, with the Clients second tally and what proved to be the winning run. The Te;Tymen's first tally came on Dick Bartell's home run in the fifth. The Tanks lone tally came on George Selkirk's long home run into the right field stands in the third.
 Charley Red Rufing toiled val iantly on the mound for the Tanks, for seven frames but his mates failed to come through with base hits at opportune moments. The Supper Rifles had man on first and another on third with none out In the eighth, but Burgess White head picked Joe DiMaggio's sharp liner of his shoe-tops and doubled Frank Crossetti at first. Lou Geh- rig was then hit by a pitched ball, but Bill Dickey grounded out.
 Ruflng had a wild streak in the eighth, and his mates kicked the ball around in the field to give the Giants four runs.
 After allowing only one hit in the first two innings, a single by Jake Powell, Hubbell threw a fast one to Selkirk on the second pitch. in the first of the third and 'Twinkletoes" responded with a terrific line drive that found its resting place in the upper tier of right field stands. The tall left handler who won 26 games for the Giants got out the next two men in order, but Rolfe singled to right and DiMaggio followed with a sharp one-baser to right. 'Rolfe was on his way to third when he fell on the slippery baseline and had all he could do to scramble back to second before Otis throw. With the count two strikes and one ball, Gehrig tried to get out of the way of an inside pitch but the ball struck his bat and rolled to Hub- bell, who tossed out the Yankee Slugger at first.
