GAME POSTPONED;
RAINY AND COLD
Third Game OF Series to have been
Played in New York To-day, has
Been Called OFF

NEW YORK. Oct. Baseball
! fans We're disappointed this morning
when they awoke to the patter of the
rain on the roof. and cold, raw wealth
er, with half a gale of wind blowing.
1t is an ideal day to sit by the fire and
talk over summer sports, but for play
ing baseball an absolute failure. The
game was cancelled at II o'clock. as
soon as it was seen that there would
be no let up in weather conditions.
and will be played early tomorrow.
The players are keyed up to a
breaking point and passed the morn
ing working out in local gymnasiums,
loafing or card playing. The city is all
a-fevered over tomorrOw's game and
betting on New York is being indulg-
ed in around the hotel lObbies. Con-
siderable Chicago money is on hand
on the result of the series. one man
offering to bet $4,000 even money
that the White Sox win the series,
while other wagers were confined to
;OmOrrCW'S game.
1t is epected that the lineup will
be the same tomorrow as on the first
game in Chicago Saturday, with
Schalk and Cicotti for the Chicago
Americans and Mccarthy and Schupp
for the National
F'elsch played on all-star game in
Chicago and his admirers here pres
ented him with a beautiful floral en-
blem as he stepped off the train.

AMERICANS OCTBID
Il. &. CANNERS ON FISH

VANCOUVER, b. G., Oct. 9.-Am-
ericans bidding for salmon. in this
market have nearly routed the British
Columbia Gamers by running prices
above what is considered a limit OF
profitable operation. Today Americans
bid Is cents for sockeyes, but even
that price did not satisfy the Japanese
fishermen, who virtually control the
Fraser river catch. The Japanese, it is
evident, intend to hold out for high
er price, and Gamers say they will
have to close their plants if the Am
orleans bid any higher.
