icy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w#El
Chicago, Oct 5.--Rain fell heavily
today and soaked Comiskey park to
such an extent that it was impossible
TO play the fifth game of the worlds
series between the Cincinnati Reds
and the Chicago White Sox.
The sun came out in the afternoon
and the game will be played here to-
morrow unless there IS further deluge,
The postponement was or no ad-
vantage to the visitors, as Manager
Moran planned to pitch "Hod' Eller,
who has not yet had his inning in the
box, but to the battered SoX. who
have lost three and won one of the
games played so far, it was boon
because it gave Claude Williams, who
was beaten at Cincinnati last Thurs
day, another day of rest. Manager
Gleason had intended to send him into
the box today.
In the series to date the Sox have
scored only six runs and only one of
those was of the brand known as
earned" The hard hitting Reds, on
the other hand, have accumulated fif-
teen runs, partly earned and partly
profiteered,
The attendance for the four games
was 123,690 and the total receipts
$384290. OF the receipts the players
get 207,516.60; the clubs $13S,344. 36
and the national commission s3o-
429.04
AS most of the sox have homes
here the enforced idleness found them
happily situated but the Reds spent
a rather restless day at their hotel,
playing cards and dining. For the
most part they planned to attend the
theater tonight,
Five games remain to be played if
the schedule is required, but Manager
Moran and the Cincinnati fans believe
that the full route will not have to be
traversed With a two-game lead the
Reds believe they have crushed the
American leaguers into a condition
where the Chicagoans cannot hope for
even one more victory
On the other hand Manager Gleason
asserted he was not downhearted
I'VE go best coming from behind"
said he, land you watch the Sox go it
from now on. We have had the
worst of the breaks all along and l
think, too, that we We're over-confi-
dent That was natural, for Cincln-
natl supporters wanted odds, even
after the Reds had taken the first
game. Naturally we were confident
Wen even UP the series with the next
two games Cicotte deserved to win
yesterday"
The diamond was covered with cam
vas last night and it protected the
infield from the rain. The umpires
inspected the field this afternoon and
said that it would be in excellent con-
dition tomorrow if there was no more
rain.
Manager Gleason of the Sox for the
first time since the series began today
was restless. He and Pitchers Grover
Lo%dermilk and Lefty" Sullivan
were the only members of the club
at the park at game time. The Sox
were nearly all there during the
morning, however.
"Its the best team that ever went
into a worlds SERIES" was the man
ayers comment on his team. but il
isn't playing the baseball that won the
league pennant / don't know what's
the matter, the players don't know
what's the matter. but the team has
not shown itself thus far. But-we'll
be there tomorrow"
Baseball writer's tonight were esti-
mating that if the attendance tomor-
row equals that of any of the pre-
vious four games players of the win
ming team will receive about $4,000
each, and the losers about $4,000
each According to their estimates
members Of the New York Nationals
and Cleveland Americans. runners-up
in their respective leagues, will re-
ceive about 1000 each under the
new division of the players pool,
while members of the Chicago Ma
tionals and New York Americans, who
finished third in their leagues, should
get about $700 each.
