Clarence Rowland today as his Whit
Sox speeded toward Comiske y parl
for their fifth battle with the Giants

With the fight for the world bias,
ball title now knotted, these twt
statements represent the sentiments o.
the two teams that have throttled eacl
other twice and are now squaring fol
the stretch. The Sox are disappointed
almost to the point of peevishness al
their setbacks of the past two days
The Giants are confident and cocky
Benny Kauff is all smiles, He may
have been held hitless and helpless for
three games by the Sox pitchers, but
he crossed home plate at the Polo
Grounds twice singlehanded in one
game, where the entire Sox team failed
to tally even once in a brace of pas
times.
The White Sox are back right where
they started last Saturday-even up
after a dashing start, and fortune is
now playing no favorites. The advant-
age of the Chicago bunch in playing
Saturday s game on their home
grounds will be evened up by the fact
that the Giants have their confidence
back and McGraw has his pitching
staff in order again.
Saturday oame in Chicago should
be a whiz. So far victories have all
been returned on home lots. If the Gil
ants can break through and take to.
morrow s game in Comiskey park they
will return home for Mondays battle
with the chance of c~linching final vic
tory.
Favored by a home crowd, out to
"ride' the Giants, however, the Sox
are confident of coping the fifth
game. Should these home victories rule
then continue and the Giants win the
sixth game Monday luck will rule for
the seventh, when the toss is made to
determine where it win be played.
Praise was heaped on the brow of
Ferdie. Schupp by the White Sox to-
day. They declared the youthful south
paw showed up with a startling
amount of nerve in view of his ardent
fright of Sunday. He was game to lay
them over at any point during the con.
test, but simply had so much on the
a he was invincible.

Russell had been primed to meet the
Giants in yesterdays game by Mana

Russell is now on his toes and beg

Kauff was given credit for a
run on his wallop to center in the
