This also came to me through the SABR Black Sox Committee. Thanks to Jacob Pomrenke for sending this out.

John Thorn pointed out some incredible footage from a Hearst newsreel of Game 1 of the 1917 World Series that was posted at CriticalPast.com:

You can see clips of Eddie Cicotte and Slim Sallee warming up, the pregame meeting between Pants Rowland and John McGraw, a few in-game clips of plays, a shot of an African-American in the Giants dugout — could this be the White Sox’s longtime trainer, William Buckner? — and a scoreboard outside Comiskey Park as the White Sox are scoring in the third inning.

And here’s a different video from Games 3-4 at the Polo Grounds:

This one shows (around the 1:05 mark) Eddie Cicotte making a throwing error to first base in the fourth inning to let in the Giants’ second run! You can also see a Benny Kauff home run in Game 4 and the crowd exiting the Polo Grounds after the game.
