ions today, or that Claude Williams
would get start. They argued that
Rowland is in position to take a
chance now holding his stronger
pitchers for a point where decided
effort is necessary.
Chicago fans, however, believe
Rowland will end it quickly by pick
ing his best man.
Supporters OF the Giants claimed an
advantage that is more than the mere
psychology of home crowd support.
They expected Benny Kauff and
Heinie Zimmerman to begin some of
the deadly execution their averages
of the year show. Zimmerman and
Kauff have done their heaviest maui
ing when stationed in the home tent.
McGraw Gives Advice.
McGraw had nothing to say to any
of his players until they had almost
reached New York and then he gave
them some advice. He pointed out
to Kauff. especially, that there Ger
tainly is a first base in the Polo
ground, for he has noticed it. He
admitted he wasn't certain there
was such thing in the White Sox
park, but urged Kauff to make y
sincere effort TO locate it. Kauff and

in fact, has not knocked
a ball out OF the infietd in the two
games played.
Clarence Rowland has met and dis
persed John McGraws best efforts
with tactics. startling in manager
supposed to know nothing of worlds
series playing. The second game in
Chicago was won by an assault Of
hit and run playing, broken up with
an occasional effort at sacrifice thai

the Giants helpless and quivering.
Whether they have recovered will be
the story of today's game.

POLO GROUNDS. NEW YORK,
Oct 9.-The management of the New
York Giants went through all the
motions of serving baseball high
ball made of rain water and tears Of
the Giants today-and failed.
The copious weeping of the sky
forced a postponement of the third
worlds series game.
The postponement makes no
change in the playing schedule of
Ills nag uIdpSd WI III SSilSS. IL
merely delays things for a day. The
White Sox and Giants laid off today;
they begin the first Of their schedule
for two New York games tomorrow,
weather permitting.
The teams will stay here until
those two games are played. If New
York should win one or both OF them
it will be necessary to return to Chi
cago.
The playing field at the polo
grounds was very soggy. Rain water
stood in puddles all over the field.
In spite of the weather a big crowd
was present and listened to the band
while they waited for an announce
ment of the fate Of the game. The
lower stand which seats about 10000
was crammed full. The upper deck
which is the reserved section, had
only a few, but all tickets for that
part had been sold. The bleachers
held crowd but were far from full.
The postponement Of today's game
gives John Mcqraw a chance to
catch up With four used up pitch
ers on his hands now 1t will be pos
sibly for him to throw Slim Sallee
back into the fray tomorrow with
sufficient rest to make it certain he
will be effective. His success against
the Sox in the first game makes him
the best bet the Giants possess. At
the same time the rest adds to Clar-
ence Rowland's hands, for 1t relieves
him Of the necessity Of starting any
pitcher save the two with whom he
has already maneuvered-Cicotte and
Faber.
