Philadelphli, OcL 18.—More than
eight hours et continuous rainfall
turned Shlbe park Into an creaa of
mod and water today, making It neces
sary that the fourth game between the
Athletics and the New York Giants
for the world's obampionahip go
over to tomorrow. At 8 o'clock a
driving rain, whipped by a stinging
h rev re, waa churning the diamond Into
a quagmire. So hopeless waa the out
look that not k fan waa on band at the
park.
Hailed as oonquerlng heroes and su
premely confident that the hig cham
pionship will remain the trophy of their
prowess, the Athletics, with tiro scalps
at their belt, were all ready for the
fourth encounter. The Giants arrived
from New York early.
In a way the respite of a day waa a
welcome gift to Manager MoGraw. The
New Yorkers have suffered from the
fast pace set by the Quakers, coming

eleventh hour rampelgn that won them

Betting Favors Athletics,
Following the second consecutive vie.
tory by the Athletics, It became plain
that the Giants are now fighting a last
ditch battle and when they came to
town, wreathed In gloom and grim de
termination, they were desperately de
termined to even up the firing of vlo-
‘ y capturing tho fourth game,
sentiment swung heavily over
. the locals, as the betting showed.
Wagers were made today at 8 to 1. with
the Athletics on the short side, that the
worM's pennant will oontlnue to

-We are not dead ones Just because
we lost yesterday,- said MoGraw at the
Majestic hotel. -We still have much
more than a fighting chance. New Yolk
is a mighty good betting proposition
still and baseball la foil of surprises."
Manager Connie Mack of tho Ath-
lattes was Jubilant.
