Gotham. For just when the world
series crowd of $4,000 people was
rising to the first stage Of noisy
vociferation yet reached in this
second world series between the
New York Giants and the Yanks,
the umpires called the second game
with the score tied at and at
the end of the tenth inning. 1t

house and took after Bill KLEIN,
senior umpire of the National

Thcre was only one out at the time
and the situation was in a state

his bar in the way Of the fast ball
and three runs came into the
Giants duEout through showers Of
tern newspaper and breakers OF
noise. the first manifestation of
more than the most formal con-
cerD which the crowd had yet un-
co~ked in this series.
Even so. the game had no very

Giants because when the Nanks are
