By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 17.—The official
forecast of probably showers for the
third game of the world’s champion
ship baseball series was sustain^ by
actual weather conditions early to
day. At S o’clock the sun had not ap
peared and the sky was covered by
thick, gray clouds. The temperature
was 61 degrees, promising comfor-
able weather for the spectators if
the rabx held off.
Third Bout
Fortune having favored the Giants
and the Athletics each with a victory,
the two contending teams for tiie
world’s championship honors came
together today at the Polo Grounds
for the third contest of the series.
The edge of e^xcitement was whetted
kneen and thousands made an early
start for the ball yard to see' tse
pennant winners of the National and
American Leagues engage in battle.

through = the . fog “like the cold grey
skeleton of d^d triumps.
While there seemed to bei no im
mediate prbspect of showers, the
chances in favor of rain looked about
the same as the prevailing odds on
the game.
What Postponement Would Mean
A postponement today would mean,
under the world’s series rules, that
the game would be playpd here to
morrow. The sale of tickets indicated
that with favorable weather the at
tendance would equal Saturday,
which was limited only by the ca
pacity of the grounds.
Less Enthusiasm.
The gathering outside the bleach-
ewi gate before the entrence was
opened showed somewhat less en
thusiasm tnan on the morninig of- the
first game of the serlM. Only five
boys spent the night there and at 8
o’clock there were barely 100 Ci line.

The sale of tickets downtown to
day was languid because there were
practically no seats for today’s con
test to be had. Two dollar seats
sold for from $4 to $6 while many
of the speculators were holding their
$3 seats for |8 and flO. .
Philadelphians'...who came over to
see today’s game were begih^g
with cojifldence and ready to bwk
their opinions - with somethings
sides words. The odds r^mamed
slightly in favor -ql the Giants, ,i»wt
ever, largely through 'l;Jie prfeponder-
ance of New# York money.
The Giants believe they will win
the series.* the players talked that
way at the clubhouse this mom^g
basing, their opidion, on the form
that Mathewson and Marquard have
shown inv the first two games.
“Certainly the Athletics, heavy- bit
ters that they ate, have not reiUly
been dangerous against"otir pitchers
and we have seen the best our oi^
ponents have In the pitching line,-
said Devlin. “We don’t fear Coombs,
for his work last year in the wor^d^s
series ahowed- his was *'m6re ' lucky
than than anything else.” . .
Connie Mack ‘ and his * Athletics
wore sunny sndles today.
“They were good ball ^ games,
weren’t they?” questioned Mack^ and
then added: _
“There will be soine more, we
have just begun fighting.”
The Athletics do not think that
Mathewson will b^ as pueellng now
that they have had an opportunity
to.- look over his shbots and slants.
“He’s, a wonder though,”' said Eddie
Collins, “and you have got to watch
closely to follow his ball.”
Coombs depends largely on speed
and the Athletics flgured Mack would
call on him. today .to scrvis up the
ball to the Giants batters.
The weather prospects grew more
discouraging as the day advanced
Clouds became darker and more
threatening.
Members of the natlofxal commis
sion, however, said It would take more
than one gentle shower to caulte a
postponement. t

Rome, Oct. 17.—^Very grave disorders
have occurred at Segni, a town of 7,000
population one-half hour by rail from
Rome.
The rioting was caused by the action
of the muncipality in adopting meas
ures to stamp out cholera. Believing
that the government intended to pois
on quarantined cholera patients, a
great crowd marched to the city hall
and demand^ their release. ^
The mob* broke in the doors of the
municipal building seeking the mayor,
but failing to flnd him the rioters sack

A woman seized the municipal fiag
from the burning structure and cried:
To the hospital, to the hospital,
death to the doctors.” This suggestion
caugh^ the fancy of the crowd and the
mob of chrieking men, women and
children rushed to the hospital. The
doors were forced, attendants swept
aside and the cholera patients lifted
from their cots and carried to the
Meanwhile others broke into a house
where suspects were quarantined and
took them from the place. A prooes-
slon was then formed and the sick
were home to their homes. Two of the
patients who were at the point of
death were pased from one to anoth

mad friends.
The local tothorltles managed to
send a message to Rome and the troops

The examination of Talesman Z
Nelson has cleared the atmosphere,
it was agreed, by defining many is
sues involved in the effort to deter
mine whether James B. McNamara is
guilty of causing the death of Charles
J. Haggerty, in the Los Angeles
Times explosion and fire
Among the points made certain by
Nelson’s examination are these:
Many talesman who believes the
Times building was blown up by gas
believes McNamara innocent, in the
opinion of the defensie. This position
was taken by Attorney Clarence S.
Darrow, chief of counsel for the de
fense and It Is noted by counsel for
the state for future use, in the be
lief that it can be mado serviceable
to them in examination of talesmen
whom the state believes to be unde
sirable. »
The defense may offer an alibi for
McNamara or may rest solely upon
the gas. explosion theory in support
of which it has gone as far as
Europe for expert evidence.
“May be we can. prove an alibi;
maybe we can’t; may bet we shall
not try-to prove one,” was Mr. Dar-
row’s declaration in the court on
this point but he insisted on his posi
tion regarding* the cause of the ex
plosion.
The effect, of Nelson’s long exam
ination ‘ was perceptible yesterday
and'tod^y- in the terse replies of
talesmen who came after him.
“Yea” ,and "No” were the answers,
there being an evident understanding
of -vJ^t the-examining counsel was
trying to leam and a‘Willingness to
