Led by saloonkeeper ‘Nuf Ced McGreevy, ardent Red Sox fans known as “the Royal Rooters” precipitate a chaotic hour-long delay before today’s World Series game at Fenway Park. Finding that their normal seats had been sold to other fans, they mill about on the playing field until mounted policemen shunt them to the overflow area behind the outfield ropes. After this madcap prelude, it becomes a bad day altogether for Boston as the New York Giants bomb Smokey Joe Wood for six runs in the first inning and roll to an 11-4 victory, evening the Series at three wins apiece. “The Royal Rooters” will boycott tomorrow’s decisive game, but the BoSox will manage to pull out a dramatic 10-inning, 3-2 victory against the peerless Christy Mathewson to clinch the championship.
