New York, Oct. 22.-The worlds Sc
ries rules will most likely be amended
before next year as a result OF sug-
gestion made by Manager McGraw of
the Giants to Garry Hermann. chair
man of the nationaf commission, and
Fan Johnson. president Of the Ameri-
can league. McGraw made a suggestion
which the two members Of the national
commission Thought weal OF ard which
they said would he likely adopted be-
fore many months.
The other day Boston, when the
GIANTS lit upon Joe Woods delivery In
the first inning and scored six runs,
the entire New York team was on the
anxious seat for fear that their great
lead would count for raught as the
clouds were gathering thick and fast
nj the time. and 1t looked doubtful II
the teams could play more than three
or four innings. In this case unless
they played the full five innings the
Giants would have done sill OF their
cannorading for nothing.
The clever manager suggested that q
rule be made fer future worlds series
games that If rain stopped game, no
matter at what stage, play would be
resumed the following day where the
two teams left off. rain checks beinS

tenth inning Of the final worlds series

with Schmidt's passed ball In Chicago

Snodgrass' failure to hole Engle's fly
took $29,5l4..4 out of New York's poe

losers end.
The error actually cost over $29,o0f

thousands of speculative dollars that
were lost when Snodgrass' hands be-
