J2.—Worm and balmy autumn breezes gave the White Stock ings nnd the Cubs the most pleasant day of the series, when they met in th« fourth game for the world’s champion* ship today. This was the only day ao far in the series when baseball could be played with anything like justice to the players. Thj cold weather of the preceding three days was a great f handicap the players. ' Today was likewise the last day when the players, would re ceive a share of the gate receipts, *an*d they wero willing to take their share of $60,000. It did not look as if that much would be split up among them.

This was a most trying game for both teams. _ If the Sox can win It they are practically certain of the world's championship. If .the. .Cups should down them this afternoon they will be on the same footing with the Sox. ) There Is decidedly more betting to day than on any previous day. Even money wagers are being made on the series. At this prlco a large number of small wagers are toeing yiade. ' Batteries Are Announced. The batteries announced for the game were Altrock nnd Sullivan for the White Sox and Brown and Kiln* for tho Cubs.
