Chicago, Oct. 1S.-The weather To-Day
was less suggestive of ball game than
of starting the Christmas shopping
early.
Altho the New York Nationals and
Chicago Americans were to meet here
today in the fifth worlds series game,
the line in front of the ticket window
at Comiskey park did not start to form
until O'Clock this morning. Three
hundred fans were shivering outside
the park at daybreak. In several
places there were IttlG camp fires and
q brisk business in hot coffee and
steaming frankfurters was done.
Mere Hope suppIants Confidence.
Chicago enthusiasts made ready for
the game in spirit far different from
their Conscience following the first two
games. At that time they considered
the series as good as won, but when
New York blanked the White Sox for
eighteen consecutive innings on the
Polo grounds that feeling disappeared
in oblivion and was replaced by mere
hope. The feeling was that the breaks
in the game would decide the series.
The lineup:
New York Nationals-Burns, II;
Herzog, 2b; Kauff, CT; Zimmerman,
3b: Fletcher. IS; Robertson, IF; Holke,
1bH Rariden, C; Sallee, p. .~-st .--
Chicago Americans-J. Collins, RI;

Deciding Games in New York.
The teams will return to New York
for the next game which will be played
on Monday. and If the seventh game
IS necessary, It also will be played in
New York, as the Giants today won

game should be staged. This is con.
ceded to give the Giants stronger
hold on the titular series.
