to mediocre, but never during the two
hours and 81 minutes of play did 1t lose
its intense hold on the spectators and
at its conclusion the spectators were
almost as tired as the players.

Bad Feeling Arises.
For the first time in the present
struggle for the worlds championship.
the game developed concerted and sus
tanned roofing. and so keen was riN
airy that several times 1t appeared the
participants would allow their feelings
to get the better of their Judgment.
While enthusiasm gave the contes,
more intense interest than in any OF
the preceding games, today's game will
not be listed in baseball history as of
great skill. 1t abounded with errors OF
omission and commission and was
n,arred by misplays, which would have
shamed schoolboy competitors. All this
was forgotten, however, when the
American leaguers gained an advan.
tagc nearly us commanding as the two
straight victories at the opening Of
the series had given It. The two clubs
tonight again started to the Polo
grounds at New York, where the sixth
game viii be- played Monday and the
seventh. If necessary. Tuesday, the
Giants having won the toss and the
deciding contest should each team win
privileges of naming the place of
the deciding contest, should each team
win three games.
Fighting for Long End.
While the players of both teams have
ceased to participate in the financial
proceeds of the contest. the rivalry Is
none the less keen. for there Is more
than $1,000 difference between the in
dividual shares that will fall to the
winning and the losing clubs. The
club owners and the national commits
sion profited handsomely as the result
OF today's receipts for the official at
tendance was 27.323 and the gate re
ceipts, sG9.4S2. OF this sum the two
clubs received s3l,231.S5 each and the
National commission s6940.3p.
In many respects todays game de-
veloped features which have been for
eign to previous diamond battles OF the
present series. Twenty five players ap-
