Pittsburg Wins the First Game
Masterly Pitching of Philippi to (Sic) Much for the Bostons
First of World’s Series
Over Sixteen Thousand People See Leach and Sebring Hit the Ball Hard.
“Deacon” Strikes Out Ten
Boston, Oct. 1 – The masterly pitching of Phillipe brough about the downfall of the Boston Americans to-day in the first game of the world’s championship series with Pittsburg, the National League pennant winners. The score was 7 to 3, and 16,000 persons witnessed the play. So completely were the American League champions under the spell of Phillipe that until the seventh inning only one Boston runner reached third, and then only on an error. Score:
