After that one inning. which was
the fourth, the result was never In
doubt. Customers were walking
out on the pastime by the seventh
inning. though most of the $4,000
people remained to rejoice over the
downfall OF the Giants.
The ease with which the Sox smash

landers. was astonishing. 1t was be-
lieved by the Giant followers that
Schupp was almost a certain winner.
but he was least effective of all.

only Happy Felsch stlll standing
out beneath the calcium of the fare OF
yesterday. because there was no
chance for anyone to do any heroing.
or any coating either this afternoon.
1t was Just a sort Of general slaugh-
ter of the New Workers to make a
Chicago holiday, and all the White
Sox participated.
1t upset all the dope. and left the
experts practically speechless. 1t is
impossible to expert a 7-to-2 score to
any extent
This was the first worlds series
game played on a Sunday since 1910,
when the Chicago Cubs and the
Philadelphia Athletics met in the au-
tumn struggle. After that until to-
: day, the series stuck to the East,
where baseball on Sunday is not per-
mitted-
It was a new experience for the
in 90 q
most of them have heretofore re-
garded Sunday as just a day to be
devoted to intensive slumber. especi-
ally from noon OF. They came out
gummy-eyed and yawning, to find
bright sun-shiny afternoon
Thousands of people again waited
in the lee of Comiskey's walls all
night long. hoping to get one Of the
comparatively few seats which were
thrown on the open market. There
were a number OF women in the line.
Sunday is the favorable baseball day
in Chicago, just as Saturday Is the
favorite baseball day in New York,
and for about the same reason.
Chicago people do not work on Sun
day. New York people do not work
on Saturday. New York people do
not work on any other day IL they
can help ii, Of course, but they speci-
aIize on workless Saturdays, which
they devote to the Polo Grounds.
Some people regard watching Benny
Kaufr chase fly balls as a form of
labor. but that Is entirely q matter
of opinion
Benny changed his clothes three
times Friday. when II rained all day,
thus equalling the big league record
hon
Mike was at the top of his sartorial
form. 1t is believed that Benny's last
scenic outburst produced the hail
storm which followed the rain.
Today Benny changed his clothes
but twice. not counting his baseball
monkey suit as the pastimers call
IT.

pavilion yesterday was missing this
afternoon. The soldiers had to go
back to the task of readying them
selves to protect the civilians who
occupied their seats today.
The band found a sunny spot on the
field back Of third base today. and
kept up a musical barrage fire for the
phalanx Of song pluggers, who an

noises before the game When the

many variations. the Chicagoans stood
with heads barred.
The band was playing It for one
stepping purposes, but the citizenry
labored under the impression that It
emanated from patriotic motives. The
error is surprising, in view of the fact
that Chicago is home OF the e'JaZz. In
New York the boys would have intu-
itively grabbed themselves partners
and started reellng up and down the
neld.
Afterward the band. in all sincerity,

Clarence Rowland. the White Sox
manager. attempted a little camou-
fiage before the game by warming
up both TEX" Russell. the robust
left-hander. and Urban Faber. while
McGraw countered by displaying both
schupp and Pol Perritt in the prelim-
inaries. Neither deceived the other.
however.
Faber Is a spit-baIl pitcher. Some
yearsNago when he was on trial with
the White Sox as a recruit. Jimmy
Callahan. then manager of the Chi
cago club, decided he would not do
for big league service. He had asked
for waivers on Faber, intending to
send him to a minor league for
further development when McGraw
and Comiskey decided on their tour
of the world with mixed aggregations
OF ball players called. respectively, the
Giants and White Sox.
McGraw could get no pitchers to ac-
company him except George "Hooks"
wiltsea and Bunny Hearn, both left
handlers. Comiskey told him he could
have Faber for the trip, II Faber
wanted to go. and Urban went. He
pitched nice ball for the so-called
Giants on the trip. and developed
rapidly.
In the game in London before King
George. he worked for the Giants
against Scott and Benz. McGraw and
Comiskey were sitting in the grand
stand with Lord Lonsdale, and the
Giant leader called Comiskey's at
tention to the fact that the Sox were
not hitting Faber hard.
He's got as good a curve ball as
I ever saw" said McGraw. land he
ought to make you a good pitcher"
Faber tired toward the end of that
game, and in the eleveS.h inning a

him, but ''the old Roman" never for
