New York, Oct. 10--White Sox and
Giants, thoroughly rested after their
two days of idieness, were ready to re-
turn to the fray-today, weather per-
uniting, and battle for supremacy in
the third game of the series for the
baseball world championship.
Early reports from the ground
keepers assured the management Of
the New York club that. if no more
rain fell the diamond would be in
good condition. The infield was cover
ed when yesterdays rain began, and
is dry and fairly fast. The outfeld.
however, is somewhat heavy but not
so soft as to, make an appreciate
difference to the fielders. The four
umpires made a trip to the Polo
Grounds early for the purpse of re-
porting to the national commission.
Betting for the third game has not
undergone any change. Two to one
and three to one that Chicago would
take the series were the prevailing
odds with not many takers. There
appeared to be more wagering on the
result of today's game than on the
outcome of the series, even money be-
ing offered by both sides. New
Workers covered the money offered
by enthusiastic Chicago rooters that
the Sox would take four straight.
It was admitted by Giant rooters
that the two defeats suffered by the
National leaguers in Chicago had Sc
verely shaken the team as a whole
and had to some extent demoralized
the pitching staff.
Manager McGraw's pitching plans
were shot to pieces by the White Sox
