Rain Stops
Fourth Game
World Series

POLO GROUNDS, n. Y. Oct.
S.-The fourth game of the
world series between the Yam
KEGS and the Giants was called
off today on account Of the wea-
ther.
Rain began to fall lightly at
1880 o'clock but not in sufft-
c!ent amount to cause post
ponement II the precipitation
did not increase. At 1:10 bat
ting practice for the Yankees
was suspended by the downpour.
Ground attendants began cover
:ng the infield with tarpaulin.
The rain was still falling brisk
" at 1910 and there was little
probability that the game would
be played. Pools formed near
the second base line and the
outheld was rapidly becoming
nire. The umpires said that
they would consider the condi-
tions a little before two o'clock
and mako known their decision
whether the game would be
played. The crowd sought shel.
ter in the covered stands and
tho few spectators observed In
outficld bleachers huddled
under umbrellas. Nick Altrock
and Al Shnct Of the Washington
club put on a comedy fishing
turn out in the rain soaked
fields to tho amusement OF the
spectators. In the event Of a
postponement the fourth game
will be played tomorrow, the
Yankees being the home club.
