POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oc-

Harlem today came the New York
Nationals and New York Americans to
do battle in the fourth game of the
1929 world series
Awaiting at noon the appearance of
the two teams on the field to strug-

fans, who completely filled the small
bleachers and more than half of the

stood in line part of the night, and

of excitement, that of today was
heavy with foreboding.
Even when squad of Yankees
came on at 1920 there was no cheer

with all the appearance of grim

didn't have the elasticity of yester-
day nor the buoyancy of the first
day, when the greatest honors of the
game lay unpicked for the besy man
in the lap of the gods.
At 1880 Wallie Pipp, the Yankee
first baseman, who was forced out of
