White Sex are better fortified and
encouraged than ever. The kind of
bail Faber pitched yesterday was
practically unbeatable
With the exception Of that one in
ming ne was in near perfect form and
the Giants seemed unable to do anv-
thing either against his speed or his
splitter. With Cicotte ready to omen
IN New York and Faber to follow, II
Rowland so elects, the necessity OF
I l.s.li. to chicago for another
game IS matter Of much doubt
The hope OF the Giants appears 10
rest upon the moral effect Of the
crowd upon the Giants and the White
Sox.
II the Polo grounds crowds get
after the White SOx they may be
able TO upset their wonderful de-
fence to some extent. but their
present state Of confidence Is in
surunce against IL. 1t Is to he
hoped that the Polo grounds
crowd shows better EpOrfEmanShfn
than the White SOx fans did yes
terday. The crowd bOoed and
hOOted at Zimmerman from start
to finish.
Whether or not zimmerman de-
serves the I'll will Of Chicago crowds.
ii is certain that $4,000 against one
Is not good sportmanship. The boo
ing and ho0ting marred the game and
scarcely seemed TO dent the cuticle
Of n Zimmerman.
The fielding in this series is one
OF the marvellous parts Of IL all
Even after the issue was decided and
all chance for the Giants to win had
vanished, the individual exhibitions
Of skill kept the crowd cheering and
enthusiastic. We never have seen
such work either in the infield OF
outfleld than the speed Of the ma
chimes. It is the highest since De-
troit and the Chicago Cubs met for
the first time. (Robertson's work in
the outfield, especially his throwing,
has been marvellous.
II there was a stage feature in the
struggle yesterday, IL was the eI-
traordinary number Of base hits that
the Chicago team made that were
rearly infield outs. Herzog seemed
to be everywhere except where the
bat was hit.
II may have been partly luck. but
Il looked as II Herzog was playing
where the ball should have been hit
had the pitchers been putting the ball
where they wanted to. He was try
ing 20 play the game as il should be
played and the pitchers were pitch !

resumed on the Polo grounds Tues |
day.
It is too early even to attempt to I
guess what McGraw will do. The I
best guess is that he will do exactly /
what no one expects him to do.
The eineh is that Rowland will
pitch CicOtte. While a. IS not

Pen Made From Tree From Nazareth
Used by Senator Salisbury
United States Senator Willard
Salisbury, of Delwaare, signed the
food control bill with a pen that has
some extraordinary history attached
to it. Senator Salisbury is president
pro tempore of the Senate, and in
such capacity acts in the absence of
the vice. president. Vice-President
Marshall has been away from the
Senate for more than a month, owing
to the illness of Mrs. Marshall, and
Senator Salisbury has been presiding
over the business of the Senate in his
absence. The senior senator from
Delaware was in the chair during the
entire day that the final debate on the
food control legislation was held, and
when the bill was finally agreed to it
was his duty to sign the measure rs
the presiding officer of the upper
branch of Congress. Rev. Forrest ].
Prettyman, chaplain of the United
States Senate, had asked Senator
Salisbury to sign the bill with pen
J that he had secured from a tree while
visiting in Nazareth, the birthplace
of Jesus in the Holy Land. Senator
Salisbury agreed to the request of the
chaplain, and the latter made a pen
out of the wood he had obtained while
on a tour to the land where Jesus first
saw the light of day two thousand
years ago. The Delaware statesman
signed the bill with the pen while the
movie men took a picture of the
memorable event and Immediately
turned it over to Chaplain Prettyman,
who prizes the pen highly. The lat
ter was in Palestine when the present
war broke out and had some difficulty
in returning to his home in Washing
