Here and there in this shell-shat-
tered, gore-drenched, embittered and
embatted universe an old-fashioned
dream has a way Of coming true.
Where other men have dreamed Of
fame or power or wealth. or maybe
the Victoria Cross for distinguished
service on the battlefield, Benny Ksuf
hss limited his highly modest dream
70 driving out home run in q world
series contest while $4,000 of his
friends cheered his merry canter from
base 10 base.
To-day Benny's rose-tinted dream
broke ont in two separate and distinct
places; for the chunky, hard working
little Giant broke all past records by
crashing out two home runs in one
game, thereby shattering the White
sox defence and lifting the Giants up
neck and neck with their rivals From
the West.
Two Mighty Wallops
By virtue Of Kauff's two mighty
vallops 70 centre and TO right for the
tour-base route and the dashing re-
turn Of Ferdinand Schupp the Giants
crushed the White Sox, to 0, and to-
day are favored to win series where
three days ago they were rolling down
hill like barrel loaded with lead.
There are certain dynamic tempera-
ments, which, like guncotton and nitro
glyeerine. can be pressed just so far.
At this point the moment is about
right to get out from under, while the
getting is good. Fir. Kauf apparent
ly has one of these highly explosive
temperaments. For three games he
had been the most distinguished goat
Of the series. the King Goat of all
hollow-horned ruminants who are wont
- wander far from home
Thirteen times he had come to bat
without 4 hit. They had him baffled
and broodng, blghted, buncoed and
bereft. The harder he lunged and
lashed the easier they nailed him on
an infeld grounder or an outfeld fly.
1t was upon Benny's fourteenth ap-
pearance at the plate in the fourth
game of the Big Show that the tide
OF fortune suddenly veered his way
Ferdy Schupp and Red Urban Faber
for three innings had been pitching
with steady and telling effect. There
were two Giants cut IN the fourth
when Benny came 10 bat. Giant sup
porters still gave him encouraging
calls, while Chicago roOters continued
TO emit the old raspberry cheer. Five
seconds later Benny had swung and
Hap Felsch, in deep centre, after one
wavering look, had swerved back at
top speed toward the fence. The drive,
although fairly high in the air, dropped
far beyond Felsch's reach.
The big crowd suddenly lifted to its
collective feet, had a two-ring circus
10 watch. One was Kauff dashing mad
ly around the bases on his way TO third.
The other was Hap Felsch juggling the
elusive missile in the flower patch
against the fence.
Hap Juggles Ball
Hap tried the single and the double
grab. handling the ball as coyly and
as gingcrly as if it had been a hand
grenade loaded TO the brlm. By the
time his third grab for the ball had
been successful Kauff was rounding
third on his way TO home, fame and
ffty-dollsr Liberty Bond that was
justly named.
For by this long-dstance wallop
Benny had hammered the shackles OF
bondage from the Giants and made
them free men, entitled 10 health, hap
pineSs and the pursuit Of the winners
end
With this blow packed away, Benny
arrived in the eighth, again with
Herzog on first. and here, to display
his daring versatility, he shifted his
range from centre TO right, hammering
one Of Dsnforth's left-handed shoots
over the right field wall.
The man who hadn't made hit, the
King Goat of the Tribe, had in one
day surpassed all the mighty hitters
Of all time in world series play with
brace Of home runs in one game.
Such. as the saying goes, is life. The
last shall be first and the goat one
DAY shall be lion the next.
Side by side with Kauff's offensive
onslauphts was the careful, cunning
pitching Of Ferdinand Stubblefield
Sehupp, the Kentucky barrage. In Chi
eago on Sunday the Sox chased Ferdy
on the bleak reservation within two
rounds. To-day he came back with
ms left elbow thoroughly renovated
and tuned.
Here and there they struck him for
hit, but the erratic workman of Sun
cay had suddenly turned into cool,
crafty operator. where, from his rifle
PIT back Of the mound, he suppressed
every attack with a fast-breaking curve
under magnificent control.
Ferd's Fast Curve
Sehupp. taking his time and work
ng each man with consummate care,
ted the White Sox sluggers this fast
curve until they became nauseated at
me sight Of it. In only one inning,
ae NTH, were they able to bunch two
