Chicago come from behind in a thrilling, though loosely played game and won from New York today in the fifth contest in the world's series by a score of ft to S. The Giants and" White Sox looked ftrange without shin guards, ewcat- - 4rt and padders today for they lined up to play the. fifth game of the rrsrifls aeries with ideal fnotbsll weather on tap and a shivering crowd looking on. The bleachers and other unreserved seats were slower filling up than usual and the fans huddled together1 like -i snpep to keep waim. In spite of cold weather and recent rains, not to mention a snow flurry on F'riday. Commkey park looked like a spring f'tsluon plate. It was spick and span s.id when the stands began to fill up. all that was needed to make the afternoon ideal were earmuffs and felt boots. The. sun gods in the bleachers were the lucky birds today for they were the only one aside from the players, who got the benefit of what lit'.le heat old sol handed out At 1:15 p. m., the Giants took the field for batting practice. Al Oemaree went to the mound to pitch to the batters. Zimmerman, Kauff. Burns and Fletcher, sent long drive to the outfield, one of Kauri's drives went clear over the outfielder's head in right center. The fans gave him a hand. At 1:40 the bleachers were unfilled and there were many vacant scats in the reserved section of the grand stand. The erowd came late and kept ushers very busy just before game time. The Gisnts showed a lot of pepper in fielding practice and Bill Rariden, upon whose shoulders the catching burden has fallen since MrCarty was injured worked in particularly flashy style.

The lull in the fighting gave the British an opportunity to strengthen and consolidate their r.ew ground although the work -was hampered by the heavy rain whiMi fell through the night.

Will lire rr.sfiit Chancellor. Iff On IslerMfMMl Xcre Senior.) AMSTERDAM, October 13. A sensational report that Germany will have a new chancellor bjf the time the reicliatag reconvenes on December 5 is in circulation today. It is evidently based on a dispatch from Berlin quoting the Tageblat as saying that another chancellorship crisis is imminent. The explanation given regarding the resignation of Admiral Von Cap-

pelle, an minister of Marine in the ! (Je-man cabinet, was that "A man of sterner stuff was needed." ' This evidently means that Von Capellc was held responsible for not nipping in the bud the mutinous outbreak in the fleet. The opinion w advanced today j that the disaffection in the Getman I fleet might prevent the contemplated naval operations against the Russian j bases in the Baltic. -The influence of the Russian rev - olution has bitten more deeply into tne uerman navy man euner me arrny or the civilian population and the German naval staff evid?ntly fears that the sailors would refuse I to fight against the Russians. j Y H
