Default say it ain't so joe...

In 1913 Kansas had an exhibition game between the White Sox and Giants as part of the World Tour. This was like a World Series Game for Kansas as players from other teams were allowed to play. Christy Mathewson, Buck Weaver, Jim Thorpe, Hal Chase and Sam Crawford were there. The paid attendance was listed as 2026 and so far only 4 tickets are known.

So basing my guess on this I would say that between 400-600 tickets for game one exist.

On a side note if Joe Jackson isn't allowed in the Hall of Fame why do they allow his uniform, bat and etcetera to be displayed.
