GIANTS WIN AGAIN.
CHICAGO WHITE SOX SHUT OUT
IN FOURTH WORLD SIC.
RIES,
Ii Was u Pitchers Battle With Two
Home Runs Thrown in--KauY Was
Star Batter for Giants.

New York, Oct. 11.-Swinging
their war clubs like the cave men of
old, the New York Nationals batter
ed their way to victory over the Chi
cago Americans here today by score
of to D. AS result Of the second
defeat of the White Sox in two days,
the Giants are travelling Westward to-
night on even terms with their rivals
IN the struggle for world series VIC
tory. The outcome OF the battle for
premier baseball honors is as much in
doubt as before the seric@ began in
Chicago last Saturday. Each team
now has won two contests and the in
dications point to a full seven game
drive.
The victory of the Giants in the
fourth game was the most impressive
OF the struggle to date, for the Ma
tional League color bearers excelled
both in pitching and with the bat.
While the Chicago combination threat
ened several times. they never got a
runner beyond third base and the
American League team left for til:
shores Of Lake Michigan without
crossing the Polo Grounds home plate
in Is innings.
Two new diamond heroes leaped TO
pedestals Of fame in the clash under
Coogans today, for Ferdinand Schupp
or Louisville. KY, turned the White
SOx back without a run and Bennie
Kauff Of Middleport. Ohio, led the bat
ting massacre with two home runs.
The youthful left handler fully re.
deemed himself for the vicious sally
of the Chicago Club in the second
game on their home grounds when
the COmiskey Park batters drove him
from the mound early in the contest
while Kauff, after 13 hitless trips to
the plate, finally found his batting eye
and broke through Pitcher Faber for
a circuit drive, which paved the way
for the Giants onslaught that later
was to demoralize the White Sox The
effectiveness Of Schupp's hurting and
kauffs batting were sufficient to de-
feat the American League cham
pions. but the thrill Of victory was
contagious and their teammates were
only a stride behind them in the rush
through the White Sox trenches Only
twice in the long history of world Sc
ries baseball has Kauff's feat Of two
nome runs in one game been duplicat-
ed. Before the former batting leader
OF the Federal League made his two
circuit drives. the honor was divided
between Harry Hooper of the Boston
Americans in 1915 and Outfielder
DOughtery Of the same club in 1912.
In shutting out the .Sox without a
run, following similar feat by Rube
Benton, Schupp also equalled for the
Giant team as a whole, {. double shut
out which has been scored few times
since the beginning of the present
century. In 1908 the Chicago Nation
ais whitewashed the Detroit Ameri-
cans twice in succession. and in
1905 the Giants shut out the Phil
adelphia Athletics four games out Of
five. while the only victory of the
Mackmen was also a shutout by the
Indian pitcher, "Chief" Bender. Chris
ty Mathewson. now manager of the
Cincinnati Nationals, and Iron Man"
Joe McGinnity were the New York
ruple whitewash Of the Athletics.

Steam Roller Methods are Being Used

London, Oct. 11.-Premier Lloyd
George. addressing q delegation Of in
surance company officials, who called
today to urge a readjustment ot
health Insurance. and the establish
ment of a ministry of health. declared
that all the nations thought and ener-
gies were taken up by the terrible
demands made in defense of liberty
and freedom.
] He could not think OF any state
ment more calculated to prolong the
war than the assertion of the German
foreign secretary, Won Kuehlman, that
Germany would never contemplate
the making of concessions to France
respecting Alsace-Lorraine.
| However long the war lasted, said
the prime minister, England intends
to stand by her gallant ally. France,
until she redeemed her oppressed chill
dren from the degradation of foreign
L
must husband its resources. and when
demands were put forward for i'm
provements here and there his an
swer was: Concentrate upon victory"
Maj. Gen. Frederick M. Maurice,
chief director Of military operations at
the war office, in his weekly talk to-
day with the Associated Press. after
an optimistic review Of the last
weeks work on the British front in
Flanders. said:
I'VE have every right to be conf
dent when we see what our men have
done. But the fighting .s hard and we
de- not think that the present series
Of battles in Flanders is going to end
the war. I would say that the i'm
portance Of getting the American
troops here as quickly as possible and
in the greatest possible numbers, has
not been diminished.
The word steam roller, which was
often used In the early days Of the
war In connection with the Russian
army. Is exactly the right word to
characterize the British advance in
Flanders. 1t Is an advance not rapid
but insistent. irresistible. 1t goes up
hill very slowly. but now it is goins
down hill and now battles are fol-
lowing each other more and more
rapidly. 49,
Il can truthfully say that nothing
the u-boats have done have delayed
for single hour our work in France.
1t has not delayed a single round or
ammunition or ration for the SOL
diers. The British army was never
better fed or supplied than today.
"rhe daily imports Of British war
material into France last January
averaged 11.4 tons per hour. In Sep
tember they had increased to 24.5.
The number of broadguaged trains

war material numbered 179 in March;
259 i'm September. The weekly ton
mage on narrow guage line in March

EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO
GET BOYS HERE FOR AT
LEAST A DAY
All Will Depend on the
Government
Thought That 1t Would Be More
Satisfactory to Get Brave Sol
diers Home Than to Go to Boise
to See Them.

, Every effort will be made to have
Company ID of the Second Idaho visit
Twin Falls for day on their arrival
in Boise. Lieutenant Ralph Leighton
is keeping in touch with the matter
and if possible the entire company
will be brought to this city. 1t is felt
that as the parents and relatives will
all want to see their boys it will be
cheaper as we'll as more satisfactory
to have them come here than for their
relatives to go to Boise. Hence, If
consent can be secured from the gov
ernment, an effort will be made to
have the parents and friends arrange
to take care of the expense.
Agent d. F. Sullivan of the Oregon
Short Line has taken up the question
with the road and will be able to re
port within a day or so relative to the
cost of bringing the company over.
If possible the promoters will plan
to have the company here a week from
Saturday. The time of their arrival
in Boise is not definitely known.
Some of them writing home expressed
the opinion they might get to the state
capital by this afternoon, but added
that they knew nothing about it.
If it is found that the boys can be
brought here, in the event all ex-
penses are paid, the question of bear
ing expense will be taken up with
ShOShOne.

Keep Coal in Utah
Says D. & r. c.. Head
President Nudge of That System
Would Have Embargo Apply Only
For One State.

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 2-H. y.
Nudge, president of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company, is expect
ed to arrive in Salt Lake City some
time today to confer with the city
commission in regard to the coal sit
uation.
Telegraphic word to this effect was
received yesterday from President
Nudge by Commissioner Karl A.
Schield, to whom the city commission
|erefersed the coaf prebiefn The dis
patch was in response to the one sent
by Commissioner Schield suggesting
that an embargo on through freight
over the Denver & Rio Grande road
be declared until such time as Salt
Lakes supply of coal should be above
the danger mark of possible shortage.
Another telegram was received by
Commissioner Schield from Daniel
Willard, chairman of fthe advisory
commission of the council of national
defense at Washington, d. G. IT
brought the information that Chair
man Willard had taken the problem
of Salt Lakes threatened coal short
age up with President Nudge and
that the railroad companys president
might be expected to confer with the
city commission at an early date
In his telegram, President Nudge
states that the amount of coal shipped
over the Denver & Rio Grande rail
road during the months since Janu-
airy 1, 1917, is greater this season than
during the same period last year. His
telegram follows
Your wire twenty-eighth: Between
January 1 and July 25, 1917, the Den
yer e. Rio Grande handled into and
through Salt Lake City 36,617 cars
of commercial coal, an increase OF
7549 cars over the same priod last
year, or 26 per cent. Destination OF
this coal is controlled entirely by cit
liens of Salt Lake. Since April the
Denver & Rio Grande has had in eff
feet a reduced freight rate to encour-
age storage of coal. Your suggestion
to place embargo upon through freight
would, in effect, put out of business
all of the Denver e Rio Grande road
from Denver to Helper and simply
! operate from Helper to Salt Lake
Would it not be more logical for the
state of Utah to place an embargo
upon such an enormous amount Of
coal leaving the state, if conditions
are as critical as you fear? We ex-
pect to have double track completed
August 8, when movement vii
be normal. l will be in Salt LAX,
Wednesday morning and would like t,
have a meeting with you.
Following is the telegram from Mr.
Willard of the advisory commission @

Your message twtenty-eighth re
ceived. Have whole matter up D.
telegraph with President Nudge o
Denver & Rio Grande railroad. l ex
pect to hear from him more definitel.
soon. He advises me that he expects
to be in Salt Lake this week for tn
purpose of going over situation. An
in hopes that conferences which n
has in mind will bring good results
Think it would be well to defer an,
other action until after conference
above referred to.
