FIFTH GAME DELAYED
 BY PLAYERS STRIKE

Boston, Sept. 11.-A new chapter was written into worlds series history yesterday, when for more than two hours at FenWay park the Red Sox and the Cubs struck for a bigger share of the receipts A crowd of about 25,O00 sat out in the New England sunshine and wondered what it was all about, rending the air from time to time With cries of Play ball."
 No such situation ever before had arisen in worlds series competition, and ended, as have most baseball in surrectioas of the past, in summary rout of the players. Their demands were thrown overheard by the na- tional commission. The players were told that if the series were not com- pleted it would be called off, and the money taken in at the first four games would be divided between the Boston and Chicago club owners after 10 per cent. had been donated to the Red Cross and another 10 per cent. award ed to the national commission.
 Players Issue Statement.
 The players losing their demand for more money, agreed to continue the series only on the promise that their statement would be made public. It was gwen out DN the ked SOX cap tain, Harry Hooper, who acted as spokesman for both teams. HQoper's statement follows:
 "We will play not because We think we are getting a fair deal, because we are not. But We will play for the sake of the game, for the sake of the pub lie, which has always given us it's loyal support, and for the wounded soldiers and sailors who are in the grand stand waiting for us"
 The game was more than an hour late in getting started. In fact, at game time 2:30, Stuffy McInnis, the player on the field il uniform The public was absolutely in ignorance of what was going on in the national commissions box, and there were grave fears of a riot among the big crowd if the game We're called off.
 The police were prepared to handle the situation, as several wagon loads Of reserves were rushed out to the park. while a squad of mounted po- lice picketed the Outt1eld i'll front of the centre and left field bleachers.
 Sympathics Evenly Divided
 The players consented to go on With the game at 3 o'clock, when it was announced by megaphone that the game would get started in about i5 minutes.
 The crowd seemed to be fairly even 1v divided in it's synlpsthies for when the players, headed by the Cubs. final ly put in an appeara nee, they were

Thomas singled for Boston in the fifth With one out, but was eradicated
 by a Hollocher-Pick -Merl1le double.
 In the sixth Whitman saved at least
 one run and no one will ever know
 how many more. HoIlocher singled.
 Mann flied out and Paskert walked.
 Mcrkle came up with two and
 singled sharply to left. Hollocher was
 rounding third as Whiteman got the
 ball on the bound. The Cub short
 stop, who can run faster than a bull
 dog. slid into the plate, but White
 mans perfect throw beat him to 1t
 and he was distressed to behold Hank O'Day's thumb extended toward the
 distant horizon.
 There were still two men on. Pick
 hit sharply toward a, vacant spot
 back of second, but Strunk, by sprint
 ing thirty-fve yards in nothing flat caught the ball. For moment
 Mitchell looked as if he were going to suffer a hemorrhage of the brain, but
 he recovered, and the doctor put back the hypodermic of sweet oil which he
 had been preparing to inject.
 Tn Boston's part of the sixth, which was as barren of fruit as a plum tree ! in February, Pskert caught a long fly in centre field, and just for eXer- else threw the ball on a line straight into Killefer's hands. The fans ap- plauded. If a man had been scooting for home from third probably he would have thrown it through some body's wind shield.
 Boston fans began to root in unison for a run in the lucky seventh. Two or three harmless but agile nuts began waving their hands, a la, col lege cheering, and soon about 24,929 out of the 25,000 were clapping their [ hands in a mad sort of rhythm and screeching like demons. Apparently Vaughn was deaf to it all. At least he appeared to be no more affected i than was some solitary farmer hoeing
 potatoes in the distant stretches of 1 Aroostook county.
 | The lucky seventh was as full or 1 good fortune for the Red Sox as a mild winter to the village undertaken. ! Whiteman got a hit with one down, | but McInnis hit into a. donble play. l via the popular and much travelled 1 route, Hollocher- Pick M erkle.
