Game One of the Series was played before
  6,500 fans at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium featuring
  Buckeyes' Willie Jefferson pitching against the 
  Grays' Roy Welmaker. Both teams were shutout until
  the home half of the seventh inning.
          The Buckeyes broke the scoring drought 
  when Quincey Trouppe tripled in the 7th and scored
  on Johnny Cowans sacrifice fly to take a 1-0 lead.  
     Archie Ware scored the second run for the Buckeyes
  after he singled in the 8th, went to second on a walk
  and scored on Willie Grace's single.   
     The Homestead Grays threatened in the top of the
  9th when Josh Gibson (left) hit a one out single to
  score a run.  It was his first hit of the game. 
         Gray's shortstop, Sam Bankhead would bounce
  into a double play to end the game and the
  Buckeyes took a 1-0 Series lead.
          Believe it or not, both teams would travel to
  Dayton for an exhibition game on September 14th
  before coming back to Cleveland for Game Two
