bitterness Among Fans.
There Is more bitter feeling among
the fans and the players over this
series than ever has been manifested
before. The reason Is perhaps the
heavy gambling, the heaviest ever
recorded. and the fierce resentment
OF the White Sox- They are making
up now in fighting for what they
lacked IN the earlier games There
is certain to be a howl from some OF
the Chicago fans against Mondays
umpiring. In fact the bitterness was
SO great that police escort was re-
Quired TO take Rigler off the field
after the game and. for a time. there
was serious danger Of a riot at the
White Sex club house.
