Game 1 of the 1905 World Series opened in St. Louis in Sportsman' Park with Tiny Bonham getting the starting nod for St. Louis against Ted Gray for the Pirates. In the bottom of the 1st, the Browns struck first on a Tom Downey double followed by a Joe Mauer single which put runners on 1st and 3rd. After Roberto Clemente struck out, Kal Daniels singled home Downey and the Browns took a 1-0 lead.

The game was played quite sloppily as there were 6 errors, 3 for each team. The first costly error came in the Pittsburgh 6th when Joe Agler singled and Solly Hemus doubled to put runners at 2nd and 3rd with no out. Levi Meyerle hit a grounder to shortstop that should have been an easy out with no runner advance except that Downey misplayed the ball which allowed both runners to score. In the Browns 6th, they got the two runs back after Norm Larker singled and then Shane Mack tripled and Ned Williamson flied out to score Mack.

In the 7th, a Joe Agler double scored Johnny Evers and Gray as Pittsburgh retook the lead. Unfortunately for Pittsburgh, it was all St. Louis after that as they scored 4 runs in the 7th and added another run in the 8th. Although Pittsburgh plated a run in the ninth, the outcome was never really in doubt and St. Louis took the 1st game 8-5.
