Takes Lead Over Giants in
Series for Base Ball
Title of World.
TEAMS OFF FOR NEW YORK
TO PLAY AGAIN ON MONDAY
Game Lacks Skill, But Holds Fans
in Constant Cheering Through
Entire Length.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. October l5.-ln a
game that thrilled and enthralled
some 1900 spectators this after
noon, the Chicago Americans
scrambled into the world series
lead again by defeating the New
York Nationals. s to 5. and
swinging to the fore, three games
to two. 1t was contest that
ran the gamut OF base ball from
sensational and brilliant to medi-
ocre, 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
exhausted as the players.
The adherents OF the White Sox
roared and cheered for more than
two hours without a moments in
termission while the players, once
the Chicago team went into the
lead. became frantic with joy and
performed antics in front of their
dugout that would have made a
college cheer leader despair.
For the first time during the present
struggle for the titular honors the game
developed both concerted and sustained
roofing. and so keen was the rivalry be-
eral times it appeared as though the
participants would allow their feelings
to get the better Of their judgment.
Skill Fails to Abound.
While the enthusiasm and thrills en-
yeloped the contest with the glamour
that had been entirely 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 base ball perfection.
1t ahounded with errors of both omis-
sion and commission. and was marred
by misplays which would have brought
censure on schoolboy competitors. All
this was forgotten. however. when the
American League combination finally
wrested the lead from its rival and
gained position of advantage nearly
as commanding as the two straight vic
tories 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 will be played Monday.
and the seventh, if necessary. Tuesday,
the Giants having won the toss and the
privilege of naming the place of the de-
Gliding contest should each team win
three games.
