 The two contending baseball teams battling for the championship of the world returned to New York tonight to resume their struggle at the Polo Grounds tomorrow afternoon. As a re- suit of the stormy and loosely played game in the west Saturday the SC lies stands three victories for the Chicago White Sox and two for the New York Giants.
 Chieago's Chances Are to I.
 One triumph for the American Leaguers tomorrow will give them tte championship of the world and the spells that go with it. Victory for the Nationals, however. will carry the series into Tuesday for the final game providing the weather man is kind hearted and assuming there is no tie game. As Chicago has the odd game safely tucked away, great advan- tage at this stage, her followers feel confident the title will go to Comis- keys men. They still have two chances to win while the Giants have but one. The White Sox say they do not believe McGraw's men Gan re- taking. two straight games on the Po- To Grounds.
