Zimmerman waving his mace men
acingly, Russell was called to the
bench after delivering just eight balls
and Eddie CicOtte was sent in to hold
the Giants in check. Zimmerman hit
to Weaver and Herzog was nipped at
the plate. Fletcher drove to McMullin,
whose quick throw caught Kauff at
home and the thousands roared their
approval of the White Sox splendid de-
fensive play. Zimmerman, who had
moved up on the outs, scored on Rob-
ertson's single to center and with two
runs in Cicotte grabbed Holke's hit
and tossed him out at first.
The Chicago team tried desperately
to meet this advantage of the Giants

bases in its half of the inning, but
it was not until the third that the

After McMullin had flied out to

thrills and tense situations, there was
no one player who could claim the
spotlight of heroism in this melacge
of hits, fielding, flashes and sprints
from base to base.
A perfect autumn day greeted the
players as they stepped on the dia-
mond. 1t was clear and just trlfle
cold, but the fans did not appear to
notice the tinge in the atmosphere.
Here and there were vacant spaces in
both stands and blea cheers, and there
were no crowds on the buildings over
looking Comiskey field. The trees and
high fences of Armour Square park
were fanless, but the noise of the root
ing fans could be heard for blocks
away. Little time was lost by the two
teams in getting into action, and the
Giants, first to bat, rolled up two
run lead before the White SoX could
check their rush.

The two clubs tonight again started

where the sixth game will be played
on Monday and the seventh, if neces-
sary, on Tuesday, the Giants having
won the toss and the privilege of nam
ing the place of the deciding contest
should each team win three games.
Receipts and Attendance
While the players of both teams
have ceased to participate in the fl
nancial proceeds of the contests, the
rivalry is none the less keen, for there
is more than thousand dollars differ
ence between the individual shares
that will fall to the winning and losing
combinations. The club owners and
the national commission protited hand
somely, however as the result of to-
days receipts, for the official attend

Foreign Features Develop
In many respects today's game de-
veloped features which have been for
cign to previous diamond battles of

American and National league pen

innings without scoring a run against
the Giants the SoX turned and piled
up eight tallies while the losers col
lected five, making a total for the day
of thirteen. more than nalf as many
as the entire scoring of the two teams

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-In game that
thrilled some $1,000 spectators today
the Chicago Americans scrambled into
the world series lead again by 0efeat-
ing the New York Nationals s to ),
and swinging to the fore, three games
10 two 1t was a contest that ran the
gamut of baseball from sensational
and brilliant to mediocre, but never
during the two hours and thirty seven
minutes of battle did it lose its intense
hold ON the spectators, and at its con-
clusion the fans were almost as ex-
hausted as the players.
For more than two hours the ad
herents of the White Sox roared and
clieeied without moments intermis-
sion, while the players. once the Chi
cago team went into the lead, became
frantic with joy and performed antics
in front of their dugouts that would
have caused a college cheer leader to
despair.
Rival Spirit Intense
For the first time during the present
struggle for sthe titular honors of the
baseball year the game developed both
concerted and sustained roofing, and
so keen was the rivalry between the
two combinations that several times it
appeared as though the participants
would allow their feelings TO get the
better of their Judgment.
While the enthusiasm and thrills
enyeloped the contest with the glamor
that has been missing in the preceding
games, the fifth meeting OF the White
SoX and the Giants will not go down
in world series history as a diamond
battle of either outstanding skill or
baseball perfection. 1t abounded with
errors of both omission and commits
sion and was married by misplays
which would have brought censure on
schoolboy competitors All this was
forgotten, however, when the Amer
lean league combination finally wrest
ed the lead from it's rival and gained
