Boston. September 10. Big Jim Vaughn. tb powerful left-handed pitch er of the Chicago Nationals kept the Barton American out of the world' championship today by winning the fifth game of the aeries 3 to 0 after the contest had been delayed for an hour by an unprecedented strike of the playere of both teams for a readjustment of their share of the When it seemed as if the player. and the representative or the national commission.

Garry Herrmann and Ban Johnson were hopelessly deadlocked and the curtailed baseball year would fizzle out in a strike. Harry Hooper the Red Sox captain called the turn We will play. hesaid acting as spokesman for both teams. Not be cause we think we are getting a fair deal. because we are' not.

But we 11 play for the sake of the same for the oake of the public. which has always given us its loyal support and for the sake of the wounded soldiers and sail- ors who lore in the grandstand waiting for us Hooper for the Red Sox. and Leslie' Mann for the Cubs. For a while the representatives of both sides argued over the telephone. but when the time for both teams to take the field for practice found them still in their dressing rooms in heated discussion.

the national commission representatives hurried out to Fenway park to learn from the managements what the team members had decided to do. It the players Intend to strike making It necessary to call off the game. it is only fair to the public for them to notify the management to stop the sale of tickets before any additional thousands come in Chairman Herrmann or the commission said. No such announcement was made however. The players still tried to im press on the commission the Justice of their cause while the commission point.

ed out that the matter was out of their hands. and that any change in the division of the proceeds would have to be submitted to the club owners for ratification. Hooper Elide Strike. Shortly before the time for calling the game Chairman ms.nn stated the position of the commission positively The commission cannot change Vht rule he said. It was proposed and agreed to by both leagues and it is up to them.

It there is a strike we shall end the series at this point and dUidr the money that was coming to the players equally among the club ownels And we will also take care of the play. ers' share of the Red Cross' contrlb tlon. Mr. Herrrnanns words only led to further argument which was leadinc nowhere when Harry Hooper one 0 the most popular veterans of the game turned to his fellow players and re minded them of the crowd awaiting outside. He put the situation up them forcibly and la a few words and all hands agrwd to call oft.

the strike and go on with the game for the game sake. In th meantime the crowd was utterly at sea as to the cause or the deserted diamond. They filed steadily In until nearly 25000 had been seated In the tear that such a huge gathering would start a riot in the event of the announcement of a strike police reserves were rushed to the park. But the crowd took the long wait patiently. The band did its best.

to till in with popular war numbers and patriotic airs. The arrival of detachments of wounded soldiers and sailors brought all hands up cheering lustily. Finally half an hour after game time lit was announced that the hostilities would begin In about 16 minutes. At this point the crowd as a whole was enlightened as to the cause of the deserted field by former Mayor John F. Fitzgerald one pf the royal rooters" the Boston world series cheering organization Taking a.

huge megaphone and going to each section of the stands and bleachers he stated the cause of the delay and the determination of the players to go through with the series. Players Cheered cud Booed. When the players headed by the Cubs finally emerged on the field they were greeted with mingled boos and cheers. They had a short workout and then Sam Jones one of Boston's star right-hand pitchers. went Into the box for his tint appearance in the big series The Cubs clawed him badly from the start.

Flack the first man up drew a pass and Hollocher shot a single over second Flack pulling up at the middle station. The situation grew worse when Mann sacrificed both runners along. and with only ont out. runners were on third and second. Paskert.

came up prepared for a killing and sent a hard low liner to left field. It looked like a sure safe hit and both runners started with the crack of the bat. But Whiteman running in fast caught the ball below his knees and with a great throw doubled up Hollocher at second retiring the side without a score. Vaughn's start for his third game of the series was also inauspicious. Hoop- opened with a single and was sacrificed promptly to second by Sheen.

But Vaughn was entirely unperturbed. He struck out Strunk and Flack made a sensational catch of Whltemans long foul. crashing into the tight field fence. but holding on to the ball. Jones proved wild In the second inning but was saved by sharp fielding It was in the third that the Cubs drew blood helped out by a hit of clever strategy.

Scott disposed of both Vaughn and Flack on two of his dcv. erlv executed plays. Then Jones gave. Rnl10cher a pass. Hollocher strolled oft first ba and Agnew shot the ban down to Mclnnls it looked like a sure out and was the same kind of sharp- shooting that helped down the Cubs yesterday.

But the Cubs were wary of the trap this time. Hollochfr Instead of diving Into Stuff's big mitt. dashed for. second. Stuffy with his eye on the hall swung around with admirable grace And quickness roe a perfect put-out only there was no one to put out.

He roads one more wing through the du of his own Mng and then saw Jollocher grinning at him from second base. Leslie Mann here proceeded to add to the general discomfort of the Sox by ecoring his teammate with a double to left. Plays Red Sox. That ended further scoring until the eighth inning. Boston threatened in the fourth fifth and seventh.

but each time fast plays stopped them before they could reach the enemy wire. Strunk led oft Boston's lucky fourth" Inntnl with a long double into right tied. The fans Implored Whiteman to come through with one of his timely hits but the best he could do was to pop to Merkle Stuffy Mclnnls made a bl try for a up but Merkle caught his hard hit drive and doubled un Strunk at second.

What chances the Red SOT had of a run In the seventh built on Whltemnn drive Into left were spoiled when Me. lank' once more hit into that deadly play combination of Hollocher to Pick to Xrkle Un to this point the game had been a pitchers battle. and a fielding revelation Hippo Jim Vaughn was now- better with each ban he pitched. Whenever trouble threatened even re motely his teammates sprang to his rescue with some spectacular play.

In the meantime Jones had lost vouch of his early wildness and his curve boll kept. the Cubs swinging vainly. He was hacked up superbly by' the oth Red legs and It looked II If It would be a to pitchers' duel untn Paskert broke up the game In the eighth.

Captain Hooper tried to start things going by poking a fly into short left. Held apparently beyond the reach or any one but Hollocher racing like the wind got it In his outstretched hands. Shean came through with a hit but Vaughn struck out Strunk Amos swinging hard at the last one. The Red Sox. however were not a bit discouraged.

They still lead Chi. cao three to two in the series and need but one more win to give them the championship while the Cubs must win two straight games to wear the laurel wreaths on their. brows. Tie Box Seers. CHICAGO- al I' h.

Mass. September 10 A possibility That the' world series game tomorrowmight be delayed in starting developed tonight when the dispute between the players of the Chicago National and Boston American teas and the National Commission regarding the players' share of the world series receipts took a turn. The players' committee announced that they would. ask the commission to mee them at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning tv make a further effort to come to a settlement. They said they would ask the commission to meet thenf tomorrows game to be started until the matter was ironed out.

The players-claim that under the present arrangement they will re celve little more than the members or. the teams which finished second and third in the two leagues. By Hugh S. SFnflertoa Boston. Mass.

September' 10- Spe cial. Chicago's Cubs fought their way back into the running for the worlds championship today after poor old baseball oft disgraced by magnates and players had received the hardest blow in its history. The players dissatisfied over the division of money for the series went on strike delayed the game for an hour while a big crowd waited and wondered and finally saved themselves from the wrath of the public and the game from ending in utter disgrace' by conceding. the point. declaring that they surrendered only for the sake of the game.

Then they went out and played the best game of a really remarkable se ties and playing glittering ball behind Vaughn won. because for the first time since the series started they managed to place their hits in timely fashion. They had the Red Sox on the defensive at every stage of the game and Vaughn never really was in serious trouble. The few times in which he allowed the Red Sox a taint chance to score. his Infield rose to the occasion and the speedy fielding of Ilollocher and Pick startled the Boston tans and resulted in double plays.

Holloeher the Star. HoUocher. the Cubs' kid shortstop looked to be the big figure of the day. In spite of the tact. that he blundered into a double play in the first inning after Whiteman had made an astounding shoestring catch of Paskerts line smash after that he dazzled the Red Sox.

He walked in the third Inning and a moment later Sam Agnew tried one of his famous snapshots at first to catch him but Hollocher was stealing and landed safely. Then Mann walloped a hard double straight over third base and sent home the tint run. Boston was on the defensive entirely the Cubs attacking so hard it required work especially by Scott and Mclnnis to hold them In check. Occasionally they were troubled by Jones' queer slow ball but most of the time they hit. him healthy.

Scott made no fewer than four remarkable stops and throws and Whiternan who never claimed to be a great player but who' is doing everything a Cobb could do. In this series stopped them in the sixth when his remarkable throw to the plate cut down Fleck by fifteen feet. The Cubs however smarting under defeats which they attribute largely to luck were not to be denied. In the eighth Jones passed Flack and again the fatal base on ball proved they' deciding factor. That makes four of the five games that have been decided by bases on balls.

and the other was lost by a hatter being hit. showing how closely the teams are matched. Jones walked Flack and Hollocher pushed down a. perfect bunt which' Thomas could' not reach and allowed ATLANTAN IN MARINE. CORPS IS TRANSFERRED William Thornton Corner Jr.

hoping it would go foul. Mann flied out but Paskert who had been hitting the ball viciously mauled a double to' left center and ctncbedthe game. Team. Warmed Up. For a time it seemed as if the strike or the players had taken all the pep out of players and crowd alike and the early innings were slow' and drag- gy.

Then the teams warmed to the battle and fought fiercely. While we know that these teams are not high- class or up to major league standard of former years yet there never has been so well-played or so desperately contested games. The Cubs simply to- fusd to quit and gave Vaughn beautiful support all the way. Vaughn is making himself a' nick In hills hall of tame. After losing two luck games he pitched superbly and the Boston crowd.

admiring nerve and strength. was rooting for him in the later stages. Tomorrow Tyler. Vaughn's companion in the Iron Man class will attempt to even up the series. and iMays is his probable opponent.

The strike was the worst disgrace that has fallen upon the baseball business It has been brewing ever since the series started and came to a head this morning. The players discovered that the agreement made under old conditions by which each player was guaranteed 2000 or and that the remainder of the players' share was to be given to playersvon clubs finishing second third and fourth in the leagues. The commission decided to cut the players' share in proportion to the re duction of admission prices. which meant that the players would receive about 860 for the winner. and bout 530 for the losers.

The stand of the players was decided upon last night and Lea Mann of the Cubs and Harry Hooper of the Sox. were appointed to represent the two teams. Demands were served upon the club owners the national commission being partly under the weather after a hard night. The demands resulted in hasty calling of the commission and Mr. Johnson when he appeared was not in shape to decide anything ex ceptthg to buy another round.

Hooper did most of the' talking and Johnson orated loudly about how he saved baseball and made the series possible. Crowd Because Impatient. The crowd was patient but after 3 o'clock their patience commenced to wear out. Only the arrival of a bunch of wounded soldiers. from France who were wildly received preventing a demonstration Mounted police and a squad of re serves were hurried to the park for fear of an outbreak.

The conference was funnier than a vaudeville show. It looked to be a fitting finish for the game which has been disgraced so long by its officiate Jack Heydler bad little tosay and was plainly worried and discouraged while Johnson and Herr- mann orated but refused to yield anything or decide anything. After almost an hour Hooper and Mann surrendered. declaring that they did so only to prevent baseball being hurt by the worst scandal of Its many. Hooper in a nice manner.

stated that he wished it understood that the play. ers have been wretchedly treated but that they would rather play for nothing and give the receipts to the Red Cross than to bring- disgrace upon the game as the magnates had done. It was agreed that the matter of division of the receipts shall be referred to the two leagues. The players want more money and their stand that play. ers of the first division teams should not recdve any money puts them in a bad light.

especially as dozens of those players who will receive such money are In France or in army posts. The strike seems over but the players are sore and very bitter so that almost anything la likely to start trouble afresh. Copyright 1918) IN SCHOOLS 25457 To War Conditions Is Attributed Slight Decrease From Last Year. The' opening enrollment In the Atlanta schools for 1919 term shows a total of 26457 pupils which la about 1 000 less than the enrollment of last term. which totaled 28349 These fig urea Include the grammar schools the high schools the night schools and the negro schools.

The total number of pupils enrolled at the opening of the Atlanta schools was the occasion of some surprise among the officials many of whom ex' pected that this years enrollment would eclipse the records of other years but the decrease is possibly attributable to the extraordinary condt- tina brought about by the war. There will be many pupils coming into the schools during the present week. and it is believed that before the week is out there will be a sufficient number of pupils enrolled to make up the above mentioned decrease. The total enrollment for last year based upon the nine months of the scholastic terra. was about 28000.

or nearly two thousand more than the opening days enrollment and this probable number of new scholars coming in during the next few days is expected to make for all deficiencies. The congested conditions in two or three of the schools as explained in The Constitution yesterday have been looked after by the school authorities and all the pupils applying for seats in the various schools wilt be provided with seats. Conditions have been met In the several sections of the city where new buildings are in progress and the pu pils awaiting the erection of the Spring street. the Oakland City. and the Moreland avenue schools win be provided for until the building are completed.

Teaching forces have been filled with competent teachers and the faculty of every school in the city will be provided with teachers before the end thb present week. There were one or two technical places in the high schools that had not been filled on the opening day but these places will be manned by competent instructors before the present week ha passed according to The school office.
