Mrs. Brown and her first husband

bursting them open.
McKwnn heard faint cries en the
second fleer. He reached there with
much difficulty and found the front
bedroom deer locked. Although
weakened, ns a result or Inhaling
smoke, he broke open the deer.
The patrolman reused Mrs. Levin
and was about te help her te the street.
"Take the baby first," she said,

By JOSEPH T. LABUUM
New Yerk, Oct. 7. It began te rnln
shortly before 1 o'clock today and a
postponement of the fourth clash be
tween the Yanks and the Clants In
Father Knickerbocker's exclusive World
Series looked extremely probable.
A drizzle this morning dampened the
bleacher benches and sprinkled the
dusty diamond. It was n dreary day,
in absolute accord with the spirit of
the Yankees, who are reeling under the
two victories scored by the aggressive
National League champions.
The hope of the McUrnw men wns
bright and cheery. They expect te
dneh through the Huggins athletes for
four consecutive triumphs. They ar
gue that the nearest the Yanks will
come te victory wns in the ten-inning
tic game en Thursday.
The American Leaguers were the
home folks today and gave funereal
welcome te the Giants, who planned te
make it four straight ever their hap
less foemen and capture the crown of
baseball.
Greh Confident
"We have tbe Yanks en the dead
run," said Heine Greh, midget, third
sackcr of the Giants nnd exponent of
the oettle bat, "nnd we will keep them
en the run. The Yankees were sup
posed te have a flvc-stnrred pitching
staff, but I lmve net seen it yet."
A idantless mist closed in durinc; the
day. dampened the plnying field, mnhlng
prospects of n centrHt dubious and un
certain. The wenther man took n slant
te the east and figured thnt the erean
breeze would bring showers before
nightfall. The wind came in puffs from
the eaft. bringing with it nn intermit
tent drizzle.
Henry Fnbinn, greundkeeper, had the
base nath. nitcher's and batter's box
blanketed under heavy cnuvm-ct. Th
outer gardens were in need of rain nnd
the drizled served only te allay the
dusty top neil. The crowd came early
nnd the wet weather did net '.com w
