NEW YORK, Oct 11.-Swineing
their war clubs like the cavemen of
old, the New York Nationals battered
their way to victory over the Chicago
Americans here today by a score of 5
to 0. AS u result Of the second defeat
Of the White Sox in two days the
Giants are travelling westward tonight
on even terms with their rivals in the
struggle for world series victory.
The outcome OF the battle for pre-
mier baseball honors is as much in
doubt as before the series began in
Chicago last Saturday. Each team
now has won two contests and the in
dications point to a full seven-game
drive before either club will admit the
supremacy of the other.
The victory of the Giants N the
fourth game was the most impressive
of the struggle to date for the National
league color bearers excelled both In
pitching and with the bat. While the
Chicago combination threatened sew
eral times, they never got runner
beyond third base and the American
leag'Ie team left for the shores of Lake
Michigan without crossing the Polo
grounds home plate in IS innings.
Schupp and Kauff Heroes.
Two new diamond heroes leaped into
fame in the clash under Coogan's
Bluff today for Ferdinand Schupp OF
Louisville, Ky, turned the White Sox
batters back without a run and Benny
Kauff of Middleport, Ohio, led the bat
ting massacre with two home runs.
The youthful lefthander 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 thru Pitcher Faber for q
circuit drive which paved the way for
the Giants onslaught that later was
to demoralze the White Sox. The ef-
forgiveness of Schupp's hurting and
kauff's batting was sufficient to de-
feat the American league champions,
but the thrill of victory was contagious
and their teammates were only a
stride behind them in the rush thru
the White Sox trenches.
Double Sl,ut-Outs Seldom.
In shutting out the Sox without n
run, following a similar feat by Ruue
Benton yesterday, Schupp equalled
for the Giant team as whole a
double shutout record, which has been
ScOTeu lew times since the Dpy1ll-
ming of the present century. In. 1905
the Chicago Nationals whitewashed
the Detroit Americans twice in sue
cession and in 1905 the Giants of those
days shut out the Philadelphia
Athletics four games out OF five
- while the only victory of the Mack
men was a shut-out by the Indian
pitcher, "Chief' Bender. Christy
Mathewson. now manager of the Gin
cinnati Nationals, and 'Ironman" Joe
McGinnity were New York twirlers
who engineered the quadruple white
wash of the Athletics.
There was nothing to forecast the
sensational developments OF today's
game in the early innings. For three
sessions it was a pitchers battle be-
tween Faber and Schupp with little II
any advantage on either side. Kaufi
was the third man to face Faber In
the Giants half of the fourth, Burns
and Herzog having failed to make
first base. With two out and his
record of not a hit in the series In
thirteen times at hat, by-word
among the fans, Kauff was desperate
Kauff Breaks Up Battle.
With a ball and a strike called
against him he saw a perfect groove
ball coming up from Faber's hand
and taking a deep toehold in the
batter's box. he flung the full weigh,
