The world tour of the Chicago White Sox and New York Giants comes to an end, with a royal audience as King George V and Queen Mary of Teck are among the 20,000 spectators at Old Chelsea Field. The King would see a thriller, as the White Sox won 5-4 in 11 innings on a home run by Sam Crawford. The teams began the tour in October, playing 46 games with the White Sox going 24-20 with two ties.
