NEW YORK. Oct. 2O.-The seventh
game for the New York city cham
pionship between the Giants and YAM
KEGS, which was TO have been played
at the Polo grounds today. has been
postponed on account OF rain. The
postponement greatly disappointed the
Yankees, who after their 10 TO 2 vic

the Giants on the run. The series
now stands to in favor of the
Giants with one tied game. Ford will
go back at the Giants in the next
clash and the postponement, which
gives Mathewson an unexpected rest,
will probably mean that McGraw will
send him TO the firing line.
