 8 cr3fice and an out, but Ruth sent ], @.askert back on an easy dribbler to i, wScott In the sixth Chicago had an ! other big opening, as Paskert and Merkle singled with one out and ad- vanced on Picks out, but Whtteman saved Babe with q nice catch on Deal. the best play of the game.
 Vaughn's pitching was little infer for to that of Ruth. He also had his great speed and his grand assortment of curves, but the Sox pressed their advantage in the one inning that they had their big opportunity, While Ruth held in the pinches. Vaughn famed six of the Sox, twice getting Ruth, the Rostonian flaming with some of his wicked lunges, much to the delight Of the crowd. Not an extra base Int was recorded against either pitcher.
 Next to Ruth the leading SoX star was the thirty-seven-year old George Whitman. He made two of the five Boston hits, one of which aided in the scoring of the lone run, and also played we'll in the fielding, accepting five chances, several of them d1fhcuN~ He had to do some lively sprintlng to haul in Deals fly in the sixth and made other neat catches.

Scott fielded with his usual ability hare handed stop on Vaughn in the seventh being his most spectacular play.
 Draws Good Crowd.
 The contest showed only patches of the worlds series color that has been seen at these games in former years. Th crowd was barely over l9,o0O. which was almost 13,0O0 below the number of people that attended the first game between the White SoX and c;iants in the same park 8 year ago.
 However the fact that the game at +racted 10000 shows that baseball still is q pretty lively fellow for corpse. The crowd was loyal one and whooped it up for the Cubs whenever the local players gave them q chance. The bleachers and pavil- ion seats were pretty we'll filled, but there were many gaps in the reserved grand stand, especially in the $3 box nrea. On the upper tier there were few besides the baseball writers.
 Weather COn01llOHS dSdln Ildu ft toI to do with the condensed crowd. While the sun shone brightly while Yhe game was being played it was h1ealx and threatening all morning, and when it began to rain shortly aft Ar noon another postponement seemed Jrn,inent. However, old Sol came hut in all his glory about half an hour hefore the game started and was rheered warmly by the bleacher boys. The day was raw as the average worlds series day in mid October, and few of the 19,0 900 came without lhetr overcoats.
 SpecuIators Arc Stung.
 The crowd that was out was prac atcallv a home gathering, as the series has attracted only a handful of out bf town visitors. The biggest joke sht Chicago has enjoyed in quite d stretch was at the expense of the tick et scalpers, who were caught before the series with thousands of paste boards that they were trying to un load at a 30 per cent. loss instead of holding up out of towners for 100 br 200 per cent. gain,
 The crowd would have filled Weegh- haans North Side park to capacity, as the old Federal league stamping
 
 tar of fact q lot of North Siders are grumhHng because their section has oaen sighted, though the games were shifted to the South side for the con- .enience of the Chicago fans.
