XFAX YORK, Oct. 11. -The baseball game between the Reel Sox and Giants will be played. The gates were thrown open at 11:10 o'clock. NEW ORK, Oct. 11.—The scene of the big quarrel between the Red Sox and the Giants was shifted to New York today, and despite cloudy skies and an occasional shower, thousands of victims of demen tia Americana rushed to the Polo grounds at dawn to await the call of “play ball in the fourth game of the most sensational world's series ever played. Garry Herrmann, chairman of the national baseball commission, announced at 9:45 o'clock that the world's series game would be played if the sun came out ami dried the Polo grounds. At that hour it was still very cloudy with no sign of sunshine, but no rain had fallen for over an hour. About a half hundred men and boys and three fanettes stood guard at the Polo ground gates throughout the night risking influ enza in order to get tickets when the sale for today ’s game opened. By 8 o'clock between 300 and 40(1 were in line. At that* hour, however, it was not known when the sale would go on and the gates be thrown open, because, it was explained, Manager John J, Mc- Graw of the Giants would have to in spect the grounds first and see wheth er they were fit for playing. Giants Want to Postpone Game. No secret v. as made of the fact that ; the New York National officials were I anxious to take advantage of the slightest excuse that offered in order to throw Saturday's game into New York, Satnrda.v being > onsidered the best baseball day of the week, and it i was figured that a game h< . e tomor row would bring out the great, -I crowd ever seen at the Brush stadium. Brisk showers came up during the night and drove to cover the more timid of the crowd who had camped out at sunset. Three women repre sented the gentler fans in the waiting line, but at midnight when a severe rain began two of them broke for home and did not return. The third was equipped with a raincoat and an um- 1 brella, but when another shower of rain blew up her ardor dampened and she, too. disappeared. These two hard rains soaked the outfield, but the infield suffered little, owing to the fact that it was protected by a heavy tarpaulin. The uncovered stands were water soaked and the decorations were ruined. Feel Badly in Need of Sunshine. While the officials awaited anxiously for McGraw early in the forenoon, a cursory examination of the field was made, am! it was believed then that , an hour’s bright sunshine would put it Into playing shape. However, the sun showed no Indications of shining and the morning contirim d foggy and damp with the air full of moisture. The outti.-ld It tile Polo grounds I* niadi- gtound" and parts of it art un- even. These filled with water, which soaked slowly into the earth, leaving it mushy and dangerous for fast run ning. The all-night crowd began to gath er about 9 o’clock last night. Before midnight 50 persons were in line, many of them boys, who later volunteered to sell their places. General interest in the third big contest for the world's supremacy had suffered keenly from the weather. Despite the threatening outlook and the possibility of a post ponement, fans began arriving in large numbers by usrface and L trains after daybreak. There was disappointment when the fans found that the baseball officials were anxious for a postpone ment McGraw's appearance was anxiously awaited, but this anxiety was not to be compared with the eagerness with which his decision on the condition of the grounds was looked for. The day's sale was scheduled to be gin at 8 o'clock, with 30,000 admission tickets to be disposed of, but this was held up waiting orders from the little "bos.” Betting Is Now At Even Money. With the honors divided, each team having won a game, the betting on the series today was carried on at even money. However, wagering was tight. Even money was also given and taken on the outcome of the third decisive game. The Giants arrived home from Bos ton at 12:17 o’clock this morning as joyous as school boys and flushed with victory. They were certain that they would make it two straight over the Sox. The genera! Impression prevailed that the same pitchers who opposed each other in the first game would face each other this afternoon, namely. Big Jeff Tesreau for the Giants and Smoky Joe Wood for the Red Sox. Tesreau felt his defeat in the opening game keenly and told his fellow players that he would throw hie arm off to get even. A dispute is threatened as to the division of 60 per cent of the receipts for the first four games among the plnym of the two teams.

Here are excerpts from some of their articles printed today: Christy Jlathewson—Rube Marquard pitched the best baseball so far in the series. His pitching was the swinging point of the eries. He has braced up the team. Hugh Jennings—l knew Marquard was ready and said so. He finished with a hard-earned vic tory under his belt. His work was brilliant, show ing an exhibition of muscular ability and head work. Rube Marquar— 1 only want one-ninth of the credit. The balance goes to the other fellows on the team. I worked as hard as I could, but most credit for the victory goes to Devore for his won derful catch of Cady's drive in the last half of the ninth. It saved the game for us. It was the greatest cateh 1 ever saw. Chief Mevers- How the Keil Sox ever <rot MAKES LIFE CAST OF GOVERNOR WILSON ON SPEEDING TRAIN DENVKR. Oct. 11. —A remarkable life cast of the face of Woodrow Wilson was modeled by Compart Philomon, a noted sculptor of Denver, while riding on a speeding train from Colorado Springs to Denver. The taking of one cast, true in every detail, on a moving railroad train is considered an exceptional feat. The mold will be completed In a few days, and Philomon will then take a life size statue of the Democratic leader. Philomon at one time made a mask of the late Queen Victoria in London. BUTTON MURDERER LOSES CAUSES HIS CONVICTION ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 11.—The bodies of a wealthy couple named An drejeff were found lying near the Mi nekaja railway station. They had been stabbed to death. The only’ clew was a button picked up near the scene.

DEFINES FARO IN SUIT: SAYS IT’S‘UNPROFITABLE’ MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. Oct. 11.— "Playing one’s money on the table and watching the other fellow take it, af fording more or less excitement, but no great or lasting profit." That is the description of a faro game in a complaint gled in the district court here when Jacob and Helen Sko rish. of St. Paul, brought suit against J. P. Garrity and J. Stearns for Hie re covery of $1,870, alleged to have been lost by Skorish at faro in a game w'bich the two men are accused of conducting here. WILL MAKE ARMY MUSIC “A THING OF BEAUTY” WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—The United States army band music of the future will be a “thing of beauty and a joy forever" if the efforts of a New York musical institute can make it such. The director of this institute has offered to take yearly and train five musicians chosen by competition from the various army bands. Th' army has fa lien.in with his offer. 150 "KEPT IN” SCHOOL UNTIL DOG IS KILLED ST.

"Rube" never pitched so well before. His shoots broke so fast I could scarcely see them. John -I. McGraw We have lhe edge on the s'rie.s. Marquar pitched beautiful ball, and de serves great credit. So does Devore for his run ning catch in the ninth. -lake Stahl- The fielding of the Giants is weak. It certainly is a great fight now, but I expect the Red Sox to take the world’s pennant. Ty Cobb—The Sox were too careful in their plays. Marquard’s control was superb. It is a new Marquard who is working in this series, and not the Marquard who pitched last year. The Sox must get. the fighting spirit now if they are to win out. "Bill” Carrigan—Marquard gets the credit. He had everything. The Giants got all the "breaks,” 100, but I think all credit, goes to Mar quard. If he had faltered once all would have been lost for New York. Jeff Tesreau—Marquard held the Bostons helpless. Devore saved the game, but Marquard won it. The Giants are growing more and more aggressive. This will win for us. I believe that the Sox have exhausted every trick in their bag.

S. Mediator, Re turns From Augusta—Hilton Smith Reported Coming. Closeted in a large room in the Pied mont hotel, national officers and local chairmen of the unions of conductors and trainmen are discussing today the strike situation as it appfies to the Georgia road, the Atlanta joint termi nals and roads which have been as sisting those systems by switching their freights. What the outcome of the conference will be no one would predict. It is expected the unions will formulate demands that other roads refrain from assisting the terminals, and if this is refused a strike may be ordered on those roads. The whole trouble, which threatens to bring on a genera! strike, hangs upon the one point of whether or not about a score of terminal employees be reinstated. All the principal characters in the railroad embroglio are gathered in At lanta today and the scene of action has shifted from Augusta to this city. Vice President T. A. Gregg of the Brother hood of Trainmen and Vice President James Murdock of the conductor* ar rived early today from Augusta, where, they have been directing the conduct of the strike. Vai Fitzpatrick and G. H. Sines, of the trainmen, are here, and have been for several days, but as Mr. Gregg was the first officer to take up the strike situation he is considered the ranking executive in the confer ence. Dr. Charles P. Neill, UnKed States commissioner of labor, returned to At lanta today from Augusta. He was here several days ago in an effort to adjust matters, acting as unofficial mediator between unions and roads. Gregg Refuses To Forecast Plans. Vice President Gregg would not fore cast the result of the conference. “Will there be, a strike on other roads?” he was asked. “That depends on what we decide to do today and what action is taken by the roads,” he returned. “Is there any chance of the terminals strike being settled today?” “Better ask W’ickersham" he replied. “It's up to him.” The Southern railway, through Vics President Coaptnan, has promised to refrain from switching cars and hand ling freights In such away as to re lieve the joint terminals. Several oth er roads nre said to be assisting the terminals, and unless they agree to stop a strike order may be directed at them. Chairmen of the unions on tha various roads running Into Atlanta are represented in the conference being held today. Milton Smith Said To Be On Way to Atlanta. It is reported that Milton H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nash ville and directing genius of all really big things in the Southern railroad world, is said to be on his way to At lanta. It is said among railroad men that few heads of roads under Louis ville and Nashville, control dare to make a move without an order from him, and his presence at the seat of war is taken to indicate fils appreciation of the seriousness of the situation. No railway officials were present at the trainmen’s conference. Neither was Commissioner Neill. “We don’t meet the railroad offi cials,” said Mr. Gregg, curtly. "This is just a meeting of our own.” f The Georgia road was preparing to send out passenger train No. 2 today, but an hour or two after its scheduled time of 7:30 o'clock it still was in the yards, with a small crowd of onlook ers hanging round lhe shed. The road brought one train tn yesterday after noon from Augusta, the first since last Saturday. It was under the protection of United States Marshal White, »he
