Philson, of North Main street.

A ed the world series count today, tak- f4 in the sixth game by the score of tj 8 to 5. Each club now" has won three 5 games, and if the course of the $ struggle so far is anything fo judge & by the battle bids fair to * go the ij> limit of nine encounters with a & gTeat contest on the last day for the h final honors. n Today's game at the Polo grounds, a played in mild autumn weather to a a; crowd of some 34,000 spectators, a took on for a couple of innings the tn aspect of a battle of home run hit- s] ters. Meanwhile up in the stand, his t< damaged arm in a sling unable to play, sat "Babe" Ruth, the king of R all the home runners, a pathetic picture of baffled determination watching no less than three other men j< I clout the ball for circuit drives be- b< fore the game was two innings old. p, Two of these men were of the jj opposing clan. The other was "Babe" Ruth's own substitute, the slim and jr snappy "Chick" Fewster. Substitute w Fewster lifted the ball into the left 01 field ibleaehcrs with a man aboard t in the Yankees' second inning, put- tli ting his club on the happy side of a two run margin after the home runs al of the Giant sluggers, Emil Meusel m and Frank Snyder had cancelled a lV.ee run advantage which the Amer- n< ican leaguers had acquired in the Sp first inning. There was nothing of jealousy in Ruth's demeanor as he ~ watched all this and the one happy smile observed on his face during the afternoon appeared when 'Chick' inserted his four base blow. The game ultimately went to the Giants through a thunderous descent upon Pitcher "Bob" Shawkey in the fourth inning which netted four runs and gave "Jess" Barnes a commanding margin upon which to' pitch a game of consummate skill for the remaining innings he occupied the piound.
