iAst wy A4oAaSe+ Ns N44V GSAolOASt and John McGraw. veteran pilot Of the Giants, meet today in the fifth game of their seyen-round bout for the worlds baseball championship.
 The first four sessions developed into a battle of rights and lefts with the margin strongly in favor of the southpaw swings Yesterday, Harris evened up the fight by taking the fourth round by a score of z to 1, the widest margin Of the struggle. George Mogrldge, left-handed pitcher, and Goose Goslin. port sided batter jabbed the Giants silly,
 Today, Manager McGraw will re- vert 10 his southpaw tactics and use Arthur Nehf if the latter's injured hand permits, Otherwise the New York hurler will be Bentley or Wat son. Harris will utilize the hefty right hand punch which won the pennant for his team, Walter John son, veteran of IS years of diamond battling.
 Meanwhile, the public is enjoying the baseball battle of the century. Yesterday, 49,245 people, the largest paid attendance which ever wit messed game at the Polo Grounds, cheered the visiting Senators even more than the hometown Giants. Today another record d-breaker is ex- pected.
 The purse for which the teams are battling amounts to s248,S19.3S. Each Giant will draw about $5,731 by winning or $3,S21 by losing. The winning Senators figure would be about s6,477 and the losing amount s4,319.
 Roger Peckinpaugh shortstop of the Senators, was not able to play yesterday because of a charley-horse and will not be used today unless the injury has improved beyond eX- pectations Bluege took his place at shortstop and Miller replaced Bluege at third The absence of the veteran Peckinpaugh weakened the impen- etrable infeld until the far corner resembled sieve.
 In the first inning it appeared as if Washington had completely shot its bolt in the first two games and was done as a contender. Mogr tge walked two men and Bluege contrib uted an error and the Giants w@re of in front with a run.
 Then, as Zachary. another left handed veteran with. slow serve, had done on Sunday, Mogridge pro ceeded to stand the Giants on their heads. He allowed only three hits in seven innings. George Kelly tal- lied the only Giant run during this period on two infield outs which fol- lowed his double in the sixth,
 Meanwhile Goose Goslin, the man who put the punch in Washington but whose efforts had only given Frisch a chance to shine on Mon- day, discovered means of circum- venting the Giant captain. With two on base in the third inning, Goose hit one so high and hard that not only Frisch, but Ross Young, the Giant right-felder, watched it soar into the stands for a home run.
 The lower three of the Senator batting order was absolutely power. less but whenever Goose appeared there was action. In the fifth, Me Neely, who with Bluege, came 10 life with three hits yesterday, singled and Harris followed his example, The former scored on a wild pitch and Goose drove a hit past Jackson for the other run.
 Virgil Barnes left then. Baldwin was taken out for a pinch hitter after two innings and Wayland Dean was pitching when Goose again came up in the eighth. Dean, known foE his "home-run ball" was throwing his single ball" yesterday. GoSlin and Judge hit for one base each, ad- vanced on Meusel's wild throw and scored when Bluege made his third hit. Dean threw the single ball" out and finished the game improssively
 But Mogridge had gone the way of all left-handers in this series by weakening in the last stages, Two stops by Harris saved him in the seventh, but in the eighth he walked two men and gave Wilson two balls before Harris signaled for Mar berry, the champion relief pitcher of the world, who bore down. anl checked the rampaging Giants fol the second time during the series.
 Wilson poked a double 10 lef which scored one man before Mar berry struck his pace and retired thf eide. In the ninth he permitted thu Giants 10 stage the usual nirth-in ming rally Of the losing team, hl after one run had been scored, am as Giant fans imploreI George Kelly to tie the score with a homer whicf would tally the two Giants on the sacks, the big pitcher made th' equally big Kelly whilf ingloriousI! to end the battle,
