CHfAGo. Oct. 1S.-After the pair OF
crushing defeats inflicted by the Giants
on the White Sox at the Polo Grounds
In New York. putting the rival teams
on an even footing in their worlds PEN
nant battle with two victories each.
the McGraw athletes could be par
doned for not expecting to be routed,
TO s. in the fifth game at Comiskey
Park this afternoon.
But that Is exactly what happened
to the visitors from Harlem, who were
placed in the unpleasant predicament
Of seeing game that seemed to be
safely In their list Of victories turned
into an annoying defeat In their final
lnninsa ...
Despite the frigid character Of the
weather and the Arctic attitude of the
Chicago fans the Giants right up to
the eighth inning fehcitated them
seives with the pleasing thought that
they would return East with the de-
moralized White Sox dragging at the
wheels OF the triumphal chariot.
This comforting belief was strength
ensd when the Giant batsmen pounded
Reb Russell on the mound In the very
first inning. dynamic two baser by the
redoubtable Benjamin Kauff. with men
on the sacks. resulting In the summary
disEuissal Of the Sox hurler from the FIR
ing line.

Further evidence justifying the Giants
In their happy anticipations was fur
nished In the removal from the game at
the end Of the nth OF Edward Cicotte,
originator Of the g,istening spheroid de-
livery. Cicotte was taken out Il, a time
when he was none too steady, and the
New Yorkers deemed they had won a
moral victory.
Cicotte's successor, Claude Williams,
was unpleasantly economical in the mat
ter OF hits. but the Giants fattered them
selvss that they could hold their lead.
But the White Sox started a stampede
in the seventh, and chased Sallee of the
range In the eighth. batting In enough
runs in those two frames to assure
them tho victory and put the Giants de-
cidsdly on the defensive in Monday s
game At Brus,a Stadium.
The manner In which the Giants
cpened the game was very gratifying to
tie players and the handful OF rooters
%ho braved the icy blasts from Lake
Michigan. Burns opened with a pass.
1Ierzog had contributed single, and
Eauff introduced a two bagger. on which
Burns scored. Then Russell was re-
quested to take a half holiday, while
Cicotte entered the combat

Herzog and Kaun were both out al

NcMullin, but Robertson, who was sent
Il! TO bat in place Of Thorpe. singled and
scored Zimmerman.
The White Sox coaxed one run over
tie plate in the third on Collins's pass
and Felschs double. but the Giants re-
sponded In the fourth with two more
runs on Rariden's single. Sallee's sacri.
