retrieved by Myers, far too late to pre- vent Speaker from scoring. Olson pro- tested, claiming interference with the ball, but the umpires refused to consider the claim. The peculiar Circumstances which. have pervaded the playing of the Cleveland club to date was again shown in this play, for Burns Is native son of Ohio, having ben born In Niles.
 Wrought up to fever pitch of enthusiasm by the sensational play of Sunday. this city and sur- rounding sections turned outanother tre- mendors gathering of fans for todsy's game. After the last turnstile check had been made it was announced by the na tional commission that the paid adfnis- sions totalled 27,1s4, the largest in the series to date. The gate receipts amount ed to ss2,26s which will be divided 10 per cent to the national commission ard the remainder equally between the owners of the two contending clubs and the treasuries of the major leagues.
 Weather conditions were unlike those prevailing at any of the preceding games. The sky was overcast and a stiff breeze blew across the outfield, causing the fieid- CTS considerable trouble in judging the ! course of high hit balls The atmosphere was saturated with a damp heat, how ever, and players and fans perspircd ! throughout the game. A few raindrops | fell in the sixth inning but at no time | did it appear that it would be necessary l to call the. contest
 l Notwithstanding the heat and humid ] ity, there was no cessation of either en- ] thusiasm or roofing. In fact, concerted l efforts to help the Indians win were mors
 conspicuous than in any of the preceding l games. Apparently the entire conGrega- ! tion of spectators were determined :. ti1a i Cleveland should conquer their opponert Is 1 if the vocal encoura cement of the fans 1 could throw the advantage toward the l Speakerites. For the first time in the series there was evidence of attempts tu
 rattle the opposing players. Rattles, auto horns and sustained yelling and stamping
 continued steadily during the play. Cap | tain Whsat was liberally booed when he | famed and then protested, the strikeout | in the second inning, and Pitcher Smith 1 came in for similar disapproval in the
 fifth.
 There were plenty of opportunities to
 cheer both the home players and the in-
 vaders, however, during the hour an1 thirty-four minutes of play. Notvith-
