The Series q Record Breaker

Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 23.-The
fourth baseball game between Phila
delphia and New York In the series foi:
the w'orld’s championship was post
poned today for the fifth time. The’
weather was fair but the grounds were
too wet to play on.
Decision Made Early.
,Under instructions of the nation^
commission an early decision, was
made by the umpires. Onjy two of
them, Klem and Brennan, went to
Shlbe park and It did not take them
many minutes to decide to call the
game off until tomorrow. They found
many puddles In the outfleld and the
infield, especially along the tase.paths,
was quite soft. The groundsr Idbk^d so
bad to Umpire Brennan that he ex
pressed the opinion that the sun would
have to come out strong to dry the
grounds suflBclently to permit^ a game
tomorrow. He felt sure a game would
be played Wednesday. The weather
forecast for the wek calls for more
rain, beginning Thursday.
Teams Report on Ground*.
The members of the Athletics team
reported at the grounds as usual today
and donned uniforms for practice
along the side lines.
The New York players expect to
work out on the National League
grounds. Overhead the day is fine for
baseball, the sun is shinlg brightly and
a good breeze Is blowing.
Rescord-Breaking Serle*.
The present world’s series Is a rec
ord breaker all around. Not only has
the series exceeded the figures for at
tendance and receipts at one game but
the record for the number of postpone;
ments of one game also has gone by
the board. Furthermore, the present
series will come to a close at a later
date than any series heretofore play
ed. ' ,
Dates of Endings*
Since the world’s championship
games have been played under the
rules of the national commission they
have ended on the following dates;
1905—Octobfer 14th.
1906—October 14th.
1907—October 12th.

May ASk For Alternates.
Considerable speculpition had been
cauiscMi by a report that' the prosecu
tion would ask Judge Bordwell to
swear in i4 jurors»before the taking
of testimony begins, the last two
selected to act as alternates. As the
trial is'expected to last for several
months this method, if 'adopted^ It is
believed, will eiiminate much 6f the
danger of a mistrial In a case (tf
sickness or death or disquallftcatloii
