Philadelphia. Oct. 21.-The fourth
game between the Athletics and tn.
New York Giants for the championship
OF the world, which was scheduled to
be played here last Wednesday. was
postponed today for the fourth time.
and under the rules will be played on
Monday or the first clear day.
Rain fell heavier today than at any
time since the present wet weather set
in last Tuesday night.
Umpires Klein, Connolly and Dineen,
Under the instructions from the ma
tional commission. went to Shibe park
at 1880 o'clock this morning to make
an early decision SO that an announce
ment could be made in New York and
other eastern cities within easy reach
of Philadelphia. The umpires agreed
before they left their hotels that there
could be no game.
May Not Play Monday.
Connie Mack was not at the ball
grounds when the umpires made their
decisicn But when he arrived ana
took a look at the wretched condition
Of the field he said 1t appeared to him
that 1t was doubtful If game would
be played Monday unless the rain soon
ceased.
The members Of the Athletic team
reported at the grounds as usual today
and we're excused until Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
Reuben Oldring, the center fedler'

the moving picture rirhts TO the DIS
games and the players want 10 kno"
who is going to get the money. Cnrls''
Nathewson, Larry DOYLE and other
New York PLAYERS had conference
With Harry Davis captain of the Atm
letics today and 1t is likely that some
definite action will be taken IN the
matter before the next game is p'aNed
The thing was brought forclhlv TO
tho attention Of the PLAYERS when Man
opers McGraw and Mack received in
structions from the national coinmis-
sion To allow the moving picture men
IN +,ke whatever pictures they wanted
nrior to the games when the teams
,re nracticinc. It was stated In the
,o,,er thnt the contract between inc
commission and the picture men stlpn-
lated that the players must pose Tor
i the pictures.
II ia understood the rights were SOLD
for $40 600 and the players declare they
fail TO see why they should not come
IN for a share OF this money. 1t Is GER

Philadelphia is Confident.
The series Of games stands two &c
! ono IN favor of the Athletics. and the
house of Mack is impatient To hnls'
tho struggle as soon as possible. Con-
nie Mack, the leader Of the White
E,,erhant force. does not look witf
much favor upon the enforced idlenes'
NJ his team. He wants to keep his mer
/ on the lump now that they have hit the
championship stride. Two victories ir
succession over the proud Giants seen
to have taken much of the hghtins

When Mathcwson put over 70

the series at the Polo grounds, Goth
omites were wild in their praise o
their team.

Things have changed since then
The sudden coming to life OF one j

last year and as it did all year In th'
American League pennant race. th'
