was a shift in the scenery yesterday
with old man weather batting 800 in
the North Pole league. The change
put the White Sox OF the worlds tour
lists to rout and the Giants forged
ahead. splitting the tie of the trip by
winning 6 to .. JEFF Tesreau was pitted
against a trio of the Sox. 'Reb" Rus

got away with the game. although
there was no license for the one-sided
score.
To give the fans of Kansas City an
exhibition of the national game took
some courage, as steady drizzle, in

globe trotters from ST. joseph to the
Kaw. However. there was a consider

with the territory, made couple Of
miscues which helped some in swell

Faber, for the first time in bis
league company, was too anxious t.
make a good impression and passed
a couple of Giants at the wrong point
