Terriers Get Past Traders 4-1 to Open WS
The Boston Terriers started the World Series in style today, winning on the road against the Chicago Traders at Union Field by a score of 4-1 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Terriers right-hander Ben McHargue threw 8 innings allowing 1 run.

It could have been a different outcome for Boston, had it not been for George Smith, the former first round draft pick . Smith contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Boston up, 3-0.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Smith. "And not try to do too much."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Union Field. Slated to start are Harry Vickers for Boston and Dave Keen for Chicago.
