Made by New York's
Team.


POLO GROUNDS, New York, Oct.
l4.-Tense and drawn were the faces
of the Giants rooters as play ball
was called for the sixth game of
the worlds series between the Red
Sex, champions of the American
League, and the Giants, title winners
of the National League, at the Polo
Grounds today. The crisis was faced
by McGraw's men with the calm and
determination that were so conspic-
uous during the season when the
rally day set in after heavy slump.
The rush for seats and all night
line were missing In stodays battle
and chilly damp wind penetrated 10
every corner of the big stand.
About $4,000 fans stormed Brush
Stadium, and as the first player took
his place at the plate the stiffness
was like unto the quiet before the
storm.
