other parties and connected with kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the

CHICAGO, Oct 13.-chicago fam
dom awoke today eager for another
baseball spectacle that was scheduled
to bring the forces OF McGraw and
Rowland together at comiskey Park
in the fifth contest for the world
championship series.
The series that was inaugurated
here just one week ago today found
the teams tied at two victories each
and the populace more excited over
the probable outcome than before the
opening game.
Chicago pins its hopes on Reb Rus
sell, their southpaw hurler,' to win
back the lead in the series for the
White Sox today. And II this player
is Manager RowlAnd's choice the
game will likely be a duel between
left-handers, for McGraw has made
up his mind to pitch Slim Sallee. who
worked in the frst contest here.
Sale IN that game fulfilled the ex-
pectations OF the Giants followers.
There was no flaw in his pitching, and
that he was compelled to accept defeat
was due to the so-called breaks" OF
the game, according to the baseball
experts.
Should the afternoon be dark and
cloudy, however. It is probable that
McGraw will call upon RUDE Benton
to take up the pitching burden. Ben
ton has had lots OF time to rest up
since his brilliant performance in the
third game Wednesday. and as he has
more speed than Sallee. II Is figured
he could be more effective under such
conditions.
CIeotts Not Ready.
Chicago fans would feel more con-
hdsnt of winning the nth game with
Cicotte, their idol, on the mound, but,
as he has had only two days rest
since his defeat on Wednesday, It is
doubtful whether he could show at his
best. Should he meet defeat, too, II
would leave the White Sox without a
dependable hurler for the sixth and
what would then be the deciding
game.
Chicago displayed as much interest
and excitement over the NTH game as
they did before the opener here. In
terest has certainly not been dimin-
ished by the two defeats OF their ia
vorites.
Some OF the fans turned in their
third game tickets following the Sec
ond SoK victory. figuring that the
series was practically over, so far
as Chicago was concerned, and fondly
