INS FIRS! GAME OF SERIES Red Sox Defeated Giants this Afternoon in New York City by Score of 4 to 3. JOE WOOD DID HEAVING FOR BOSTON IN OPENING CLASH Initial Game of Championship Series Attended by 45,000 Leather-Lunged Fans. With the bleachers and grandstand at the polo grounds in New York tax ed to their capacity with a crowd of eager and enthusiastic fans estimated at 45,01)0, the lioston "Ked Sox" this afternoon cinched the opening game of the series for the baseball cham pionship of the world, by defeating the New York "Giants" on their own ground by a score of 4 to 3. Tescreau twirled the opening game for the "Giants" while Joe Wood ap peared on the mound for Boston. The opening game this afternoon was the most interesting ever seen in New York and each play was greeted with the cheers of the thousands of leather-lunged fans who were on their feet every time a close play was made. After the close of the game, pan demonium broke loose among the ad mirers of the "ked Sox" and the extra force of several hundred policemen who were on duty at the grounds were helpless against tile fans who swarm ed out on the field and gave vent to their enthusiasm by embracing each other and throwing hats ami cushions into the air. No accidents occurred to mar the pleasure of the game and the weather was ideal. The second game of the series will be played at h'enway Park, Boston, tomorrow afternoon, where it is ex pected that the crowd will be even greater than it was in New York this afternoon. The backers of the "Red Sox" pin their faith on the hard-hitting infield of the llostonians, while the New Yorkers are depending on the three great pitchers of the "Giants" aggre gation and the base running of the members of the nine. The sentiment among the ball fans of Albany shows that the "Red Sox" are the favorites here but there are nearly as many who think that Me Graw will spring a surprise before long and capture the pennant. The members of both the lioston and New York teams are in fine fettle and the outcome of the series is being awaited eagerly all over the country by the admirers of the great national game. Seven games will be played to de cide which team will win the pen nant ami although great enthusiasm is being manifested now iu the ser ies, it is nothing compared to what it will be by the latter part of the week. The coming presidential election will be a small topic of conversation while the big games are in progress and if you are looking for John dur ing the next few days you will find liiiu at the scoreboard waiting for the result of the game.
