Score of the final game, the same.
Red Faber delivered the goods on
Monday and brought home the sides
of the raZorback.
The pink-topped hurler from Cas-
cade, Ia, finally broke the Polo
grounds hoodOo, ably assisted by the
regular inmates Of this valley lying
in the hollow Of COOgan's bluff and,
given excellent support, romped home
an easy winner. He carried off the
pitching honOrs Of the series, winning
two whole games and part Of another.
Fatal Fourth Inning Again.
Again the fourth inning was the fatal
one for the Giants and the fortunate
one for the SOx. Heine Zimmerman
started trouble at 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 fiHd
any permanent lOdgment, when he saw
Robertson camping under the ball
Felsch hit down to Benton. The
RUDE, 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
Tim. Heine overplayed his speed and
instead of tossing to the plate started
O fOOtrace after Eddie, who was beat
Ing it for the plate. Hene chased him
clear across the pan.
GandiI Drives in Two Runs.
Then Gandil came up and spilled the
beans for the Giants by driving a sting
ing single into right. Jackson and
Felsch scored and Gandil's ambition
put check on the Sox column or it
might have been six or seven runs. He
tried to make second and was thrown
out. AS Schalk got a single and Faber
pass after it the count is merely
conjecture had Gandil held first.
Faber passed Rariden and Without,
who went up for Benton. He had to
put it over for Herzog, who smashed
out triple and the Sox had only one
run margin.
When Weaver added another run in
the ninth the SOX bugs drew their first
easy breath. Two runs looked like a
safe working margin.
Weaver started the final round with
single. Schalk fouled out but Fa-
Der, VIGOROUSLY poor hitter, was in
gtructed to sacrifice, and he did. Memo
Leibold drove a low liner to center
that Benny Kauff couldn't handle, and
he made wild throw to the plate and
Weaver was in.
That ended the counting.
Perritt went into the game in the
sixth and only one run was made off
him.

Albany, Oct 1S.--A big jump In
potato prices was recorded in Albany
yesterday with the peck quoted at
sixty cents. Albany retail and whole

state.
The potato crops in the south and

this year and the dealers declare
there is no just cause for the price.
