COMISKEY PARK, CHICAGO, Oct.
S.-The White SoX went half way to
worlds championship when their
batters smashed the Giants, winning
the second game to 2, Sunday after
noon. The Star Spangled Banner
that made the first game a riot of
patriotism, huttered over the second
White Sox triumph. The Star
Spangled worlds series will now be
transferred TO New York where the
two teams will meet Tuesday in the
third game. Fo1r pitchers were sent
into the fray by Manager John Nc

the bats of the Chicago sluggers.
Six of them tipped. past the National
league f1elders in tine second.
McGraw picked FeTdie Schupp. his
brilliant left handler, as he started
put to even the series, but Schupp
was totally unequal to the task.
He not only appeared to have
little on the ball, but also seemed
frightened by his first worlds series
experience. When he was removed

Perritt was then rushed to the box
and Jeff Tesreau finished.
Fsber was Brilliant.
Red Faber pitched a brilliant game
and had only one soft spot, Three
hits netted the Giants two runs in
the second inning. Not more than
one hit an inning thereafter was
credited to the New Workers. Faber
also furnished the sensation of the
game when he tried to steal third
with Buck Weaver already on that
sack
Like all such efforts, his was
dismal failure
The Giants opened up like win
ners. With one gone in the second
inning, Robertson beat out a slow
roller that got past second and Holke
followed with a single. Robertson
and Holke both scored when Nc
Carly singled. Robertson scored on
the hit and Holke followed him when
Schalk allowed Robertson's slide to
knock the ball out of his hands. It
looked rather bad for Faber at this
time, but he stopped the scoring
right there.
White Sox Even Up.

countered no White Sox pitchers,
Michigan Central train number eight
cen arrived here today with the Giants
on board.
From Buffalo on, the Giants feel
they are among friends, but 1t was a
thick trail of gloom that was strung
across Indiana and Michigan last
night.
Benny Kauff saw white object out
of the window, approaching Ypsilantt
and thought it was first base, whose
acquaintance he has failed to make In
the series 80 far. 1t was only a white
COW. Heine Zimmerman was hur-
riedly assured Benny didn't have any
thing on him, still being in Heinie's
first baseless state. The Giants have
been so badly mauled by the White
Sox so far that even a Pullman porter
can't see much in them.
''Ah don want 'em, ah dom want
'em" was the way the whisk broom
wfelders greeted the news that the
Giants were to board the train, just
before pulling out OF Chicago.
ANY bunch that has taken the lick
in they have took these last two days

the porters' philosophy.

New York Behind Them.

NEW YORK, Oct 8.-Anyhow the
weather wasn't gloomy here today II
the Giants supporters were of that
cast of mind Nor was there any
diminution in the demand for seats
for the worlds series games of to-
morrow and Wednesday. The well
known pasteboards were scarcer
than pacifists in Germany and about
as we'll covered. The few that were
still in circulation gave graphic
proof of the low purchasing price OF
the famous American dollar. The
Giants headquarters in the Fifth
avenue building concluded Its distri-
button of reserved tickets by noon, a
clamoring crowd seeing the finish.
New Yorks own weather man
prophesied the same zippy October
autumnal weather for tomorrow that
the city was enjoying today.
New York hasn't lost faith in the
Giants. There was plenty Of good
solid confidence among McGraw's
supporters that back home in their
own baliwick, the National league
champions would redeem themselves.
The tricky White sjox playing field
was blamed for something Of the err
ratio behavior Of the McGraw ma
chine.
Huge punches Of White Sox money
are in sight today and the prepon-
derance was so strong that some bets
were made at two to one odds on the
Chfcagoans.
Just the same McGraw and his war
riors will. have goodly welcome
home late today, plenty Of the loyal
ones figuring that under the stimulus
of home support the Giants will come
back strong.

There is an impression locally that the present
high prices for commodities of all kinds will
cease just as soon as the great war is There
s no reason TO think so. The present high prices
will remain long after the war is over. The mil
lions of wealth that has been destroyed in build
ings cannot be replaced in short time. The
millions Of men who will have been killed or in
jured cannot be compensated for in a short time.
Only new generations can do this. The older
residents of Price will remember that this was
true after the civil war. There was period Of
high prices long after that conflict The same
was true following the Napoeonic wars We
may as well draw these conclusions from the
pages of history. They are based on a law Of
economics that is as certain in its operation as
law of nature
