ALL DEPENDS ON
 TODAY'S OUTCOME

in the event that today's contest does not result in a tie, it will decide the baseball championship of the world. Each contender has now won three games, the second game of the series having resulted in a draw. Much credit is due the New York Giants Tor their great spurt, which has put them on even foot ing with the Red Sox as far as games won is concerned. With lead of two games over them the Giants were prac- tically counted out of the running. as it was considered very unlikely that they could come from behind to the extent of winning three straights from the American leaguers. But the Giants in the last ditch showed that fighting ability that has placed them where they are
 in the baseball world. When the loss of one game meant the loss of all cham pionship possibilities, when everything was necessarily staked upon one battle, they defeated the Red Sox in the most decissive contest of the present series. This victory was quickly followed by the one yesterday oyer the Sox star hurler and the Giants stand on even footing with their American opponents for the first time since the series be- gan.
 The struggle today should be the great est of the series Upon it's outcome everything depends. The Giants, fresh from two decisive victories will enter the conflict confident and determined. The Red Sox, mindful of their recent vic tories over. the Giants, will again strain every muscle to win again the prestige over their National rivals, which was so lately accorded them by the sporting world. It will be battle where the nerve of the opposing players will be put to the severest test, A pebble, d lost opportunity, a pinch hit in today 3 game may mean the deciding Of the worlds baseball supremacy and of this the players will be well aware.
 The Red Sox and Giants have demon- strated the fact that they are probably the most evenly matched teams that ever contested the worlds baseball honors. Their playing during the series has been at all stages brilliant. And now comes the crucial battle of the series, upon witch all of the preceding games de- pend 1t will be test O. nerve, most severe test, and the aggregation which can face the strenuous moments Of to- day's struggle cooly and determinedly will tomorrow be the worlds baseball champions.

Auburn, October Especial )-Au- burn was given severe shake-down Saturday by the University of Florida men. From what was considered an easy victory by the Tigers developed into hard fought battle. The Florida boys were light and, although not ex- ceptionally fast they were very gritty, of ground. They played their hardest in the first two quarters, after that they showed signs of weakening con siderably and in the last quarter Au- burn played circles around them.
 The offensive and defensive work of both teams showed that there was room for much improvement, although the of fensive work of Auburn was all that could be expected at thls time of the year. Florida could not hold Auburn for downs and 1t was only through the fumbling on iAuburn's part that Flor ida gained possession of the ball as often as they did. The two touchdowns Florida made were on fumbled balls the quickness on the part of the Flor ida men, Penney and Pounds, netting them the scores. The playing of Pounds at right end, was the feature of the game. He broke up more Au- burn plays by breaking through and tackling thon any of the other Florida players

The Red Sox never recovered from that first inning, and though they peppered away htfully at Tesreau's moist ball, they never came within threatening distance of the Giants Manager McGraw, in the box down off third base, directed the attack on Wood. He gave orders to hit the first ball pitched, and with few exceptions, all of the nine men who batted in the first inning. rapped the first ball sent up. This shower of hits combined with double steal, paved the way to New York's six runs. Thereafter Wood was a broken reed and Charlie Hall, Boston's relief pitcher, was sent into the box.
