Score for the series, four games to

Score of the final game, the same.
Red Faber delivered the goods on
Monday and brought home the sides
of the razorback.
Again the fourth inning was the fatal
one for the Giants and the fortunate
one for the Sox Heine Zimmerman
started trouble Mt the first opportunity
in this round which Eddie Collins gave
him, by picking up his grounder and
putting so much steam behind the
throw that the pill landed in the
stands. Eddie raced to second. Then
Dave Robertson got into the goat class
by dropping Jackson's fly. Eddie raced
TO third, but Jackson had TO remain
at first, where he didn't expect to find
any permanent Judgment. when he saw
Robertson camping under the ball.
Felsch hit down to Benton. The
Rube, instead of throwing to Zim at
once To nail Collins, who was on the
way home, raced over to make the put
out. Then he finally had to throw to
Iim. Heine overplayed his speed, ana
instead Of tossing to the plate started
footrace after Eddie, who was beat
ing II for the plate. Heine chased him
clear across the pan.
Then Gandil came up and spilled the
beans for the Giants by driving a sting
ing single into right. Jackson and
Felsch scored and Gandlrs ambition
put check on the Sox column or II
might have been six or seven runs. He
tried TO make second and was thrown
out. AS Schalk got single and Faber
a pass after II the count is merely n
conjecture hHd Gandil held first.
Weaver started the final round with
