The Governor of Illinois is out ‘on bail, but was unable to be present. George M. Cohan, who wrote "The Yanks Are Coming" in 1917, lived to wsee his prediction come true. George wl there in a high-priced seat. {Twenty-four Old Glories hoisted in ‘his honor. Mayor Hylan was Ilke- hvise present, escorted to his seat by a union ban.

Louis loves a turn- away at his Adam's apple like he does when the box office seats go on pale There were guys from every walk tm life, including the Scandinavian. Famous statesmen who were noticed were Al Smith and Bill McAdoo. Famous writers who were noticed were Perey Mackaye and Big - ll Edwards. Irvin Cobb almost escaped notice on account of a fall reduction im size. Famous actors seen at the Polo Grounds were Babe Ruth and Prank Fay. Hundreds of clubmen, policemen, and both, pervaded the Polo Grounds. Many members of the stperior sex were also noticed, espect- ally around the ankles, Celebrities not noticed in the s0- ealled throng were Abe Attell, Fatty NEAL OuaRe won and lost, inclusive 6500 in the World's Series League.

T was a peculiar crowd which saw I the Yanks take so handily the first *game of the World's Series from the Giants, not at all the sort of crowd one would naturally expect at an en- sagement between champions, It wasn't, for one thing, a capacity crowd by several thousand, although its numbers, 30,203, were the largest which ever witnessed such a contest. It never showed any anxiety and hardly any tenseness of feeling. Its moments of jubilation and exultation were few. It showed excitement, yes, but not the excitement engendered by the hope which springs eternal in the breast of usual baveball fans who plead, implore, exhort and challenge their team to action. It wasn't the excitement of a crowd thrilled by the gallant combat of Its own nine and participating emotionally in its strug- gles; instead it was the excitement of a crowd moved more by playing than by players. It seemed to care more for the exhibition than {t did for the victory. | It was, in short, as unpartisan a crowd & one could imag ne at a bail | game, It swung to one and then to| the other of *the teams. It applaud- ed generously both Yankees and) Giants, and {f one was inclined at the beginning to believe it was dl- | vided In its alleg ance he was forced | discard the belief In the almost unbellevable—for a baseball game— silence which greeted a base on balls vr the one or two pleys which were almost misplays. ‘There was no gloating. If the father of Emil Meusel of the G'ants and Robert Meusel of the Yankees had been present he prob- ably would have deported himself as did that crowd, He would have upplauded Robert's catch of Emil's liner in the second inning and com- miserated mentally with Emil throughout the game for not having an opportunity to do better. Father Knickerhucees was watch- Ing his sons play and he had a good word for both of them. In the first inning It seemed that the crowd belonged to the Yanka, th younger team, the less successful on» in past years, the on. most deserving of praise and support. It roared ap yval when Miller singled past Raw lings and took second on Peckin pnugi’s sacrifice. As the mighty Bi Ruth walked briskly to the pla there y was general—all world home run by George Herman, wh It seems, stands in the affections t New York fans as does the President after March 4 with the Nation's vot- ers, And when the Babe single crats feel a thrill when they see him lift his hat, But the roar that greeted the Giants’ execution o- @ double play a moment later was almost as great a3 that wojch met the Habe's single and the run {t drove home. For once, any- way, basevall fans scemed to be out to root for the game and not for the | winning of it, Thereforé, it was a good-humored crowd; and in the second, when Douglas's liner to the Babe bounded up out of his hands and then fell back into them for a putout of the Giants’ big pitcher the 80,000 yelled sicefully and sympathetically failed t> notice Phil's chagrin over tho Babe's good luck. It was also a crowd which craved action. The Babe's obtairfing a base on balls in the fourth was remarked by only a murmur, His being called out on strikes in the sixth brought forth merely a cheer of commenda- tion for Phil's good pitching; but waen he swung mughtly in the elghth and missed for the third time, the 30,000 rocked with glee—not particu- latly because the Babe had failed, but because he had tried so hard. Even when he threw away his bat In disgust the pntomime brought forth approval for George Herman, Mike -McNally’s steal of home tickled the stands immensely, al- though their first feeling was that of bewilderment. Mike was ranging far off third and when he bore down on home plate as Phil was taking his long Wind-up, there was a gasp of surprise and wonder, and for the in- stant It seemed as If the 30,000 had suspended breathing. One could al- most feel the silence enveloping the feld as Mike slid under Snyder and the latter fell on top of him, the ball in his hand jabbed against’ the ribs of the Yankees’ third baseman. The 30,000 leaned forward in their seuts, anxious for the first time during the game with the anxiety to know what had happened almost as much as to know the outcome of what had hap- pened, Charlie Rigler's motion of ex- tending his hands, palms downward, toward the ground, {ndleating that the crowd. |Home had been stolen in a World Séries game! The yell for the run was drowned In the babble of delight that such a play had taken place. This was a real baseball game! It wasn't, however, a particularly colorful crowd, It came in too slowly. There were too many vacant seats In the upper ter of the standa, the ends of which looked bleak There had been some fun early in the left field bleachers, where late ar- rivaly in that section had been pelted with paper balls and had retaliated in kind until several thousand were engaged in a good-natured milling in which only the ground keepers, who were forced to pick up paper from the playing field for more than an hour, lust their tempers. ‘The stands were quiet, even sedate, before the game started. The band played a few rousing numbers There was a stir, of course, by the irrepress.ble movie men; some real cheering when the two teams made their appearance, and then a craning of necks and a scatter of applause when Mayor Hylan and Goy, Miller marched across the ficld behind the band and a squad of policemen. | Numerous celebrities—greal and for sharply to centre, scoring Miller, there was a wild yell and then a happy babble of voices.

Mike McNally, who gave the World's Serles crowd at the Polo Grounds a big thrill yesterday by stealing home in the fifth inning, smflingly greeted a representative of The Evening World in the club house after the game. Mike 1s just that kind of a fellow. A| likable lad and always smiling. “Did you get a signal from the bench to steal home?” the third baseman asked. I just stole home, I noticed that Douglas was taking a big wind- up while 1 was on third and when hr started to pitch again to Miller I made’ a dash for the plate.” : “How was Rigler’s decision?” Mike was asked next. “1 think a good one. back of the plate wi Snyder did not tag me with the ball until 1 was over the plate.

The game seemed won, but none of the crowd got up as usual baseball crowds do tn order to make a more spovty exit. Every- body remained, as they do at a good! play, until the curtain was rung down, No one wanted to miss any of it And when the gaine was finished the demonstration was the applause of approval for a game well played rather than the cheering of a victory Some may have missed the latter, but none seemed disappointed, fas Ua ay Loutaville Wina the First From the Ortolen.

Turned In and There You Have the Secret of the First Game of the New York World's Series.” By George Kelly. HE GIANTS were beaten yesterday by a team that surprised us so thoroughly that we have little to offer in rebuttal. It is impos- sible on the face of it to win a ball game unless you score a run or T two and we completely overlooked that little detail. We didn’t exactly reasonably pr ced. overlook it. We tried our mightiest, but’ Carl Mays vitched the greatest game of ball he has ever turned in, and there you have the secret of the first game of the all New York World's Series, Tae task before the Giants is clearly defined. We will have to play the same sort of ball against the Yankees that we turned in against the Pittsburgh Pirates when we humbled the pride of Gibson's men. Ir fact, we will have to go just a bit stronger, for it is quite evident to us now that the Yankees are io be feared at all times. beeceen as | becides brute force, and they showed that so clearly that there can be lit‘le loubt of it. That sort of baseball is no accident. However fierce the rush of the Yankees might have been yesterday, it has in no wise weakened the morale of the Giants. We feel that we are soing to win the series, although we appreciate fully how hard we must ght. It is not go‘ng to be a question of going out and stopping Ruth. We will have to attend to them all, and we are going to do It. A great deal will depend upon our® pitchers for the next couple of days. | o¢ the Of course, branching out as a jour-|¢ nallst does not give me the key McGraw’s thoughts, and so I cannot ell who will pitch to-morrow. How- ever, it is pretty certain to be either Art Nehf, our lefthander, who has pitched brilliant baseball throughout he season, or Fred Toney. I incline to the belief that it will be Nehf, and I think he will win his game, We have a very fair idea on what the Yank hitters like to hit, and likewis: | time the bases were prett: r of the Giants. We had men bases six times in the afternoon, and four of these occasions found two of Us out. Now, you know for yourself that there is mighty little nourish- ment in that sort of thing.
