NEW YORK, October 11-Swinsinr
their war clubs like tho cavemen of
old. tho New York Nationals battered
their way to victory over the Chicago
Americans to-day by a score of to
o. As result of the second defeat
OF the White sox in two days. the
Giants are travelling westward tonight
on oven terms with their rivals In the
struggle for world series victory. The
outcome OF the battle for premier base
ball honors is much In doubt as
before the series began in Chicago last
Saturday. Each team now has won
two contests. and the Indications point
to full seven-Eame drive before either
club will admit the supremacy of the
other.
The victory Of the Giants In the
fourth game was the most impressive
OF tho struggle to date. for the Ma
tional League color-bearers e1celled
both in pitching and with the bat.
While the Chicago combination threat
ened several times, they never got
runner beyond third base. and the team
left for the shores OF Lake Michigan
without having been able to cross the
Polo Grounds home plato in eighteen
innings
Two new diamond heroes leaped to
pedestals of fame in the clash to-day
for Ferdinand Schupp. OF Louisville.
Ky, turned the White Sox back with
out run. and Benny Kaun. OF Mid
dieport. Ohio. led tho batting massacre
with two home runs
YOUTHFUL LEFT-HANDER
FULLY REDEENS HIMSELF
THE youthful left-handrr fully re-
deemed himself for the vicious sally
of the Chicago club in the second
game on its home grounds when the
Comiskey park bntters drove him from
the mound early in the contest, while
Kauf. after thirteen hitless trips to
the plate. finally found his batting eye.
and broke through Pitcher Faber for
circuit drive, which paved the way
for the Giants onslaught that later
was to demoralize the White Sox. The
effectiveness Of Schupp's hurting and
Kauff's batting was sufficient to defeat
the American League champions. but
the thrill OF victory was contagious.
and their teammates were only stride
behind them in the rush through the
White Sox trenches.
only twice in the long history of
world series baseball has Kauffs feat
OF two home runs in one game been
duplicated. Before the former batting
leader Of the Federal League made his
two circuit drives. the honor was di
vided between Harry Hooper, OF the
Boston Americans of 1915. and Out
fielder Dougherty. of the SANG club ip
1903 Hooper hammered two home
runs into the bleachers in the NTH
h.. orta 81
ago against the Philadelphia Nationals.
while in tho ancient days of the post
season play. Dougherty established the
record with his twin drives against
the Pittsburgh Nationals OF 1903.
DOUBLE, SHUTOUT RECORD
RARE IN THESE CLASHES
In shutting out the Sox without a
run, following n similar feat by Rube
Benton yesterday, Schupp also equaled
for the Giants team as a whole q
double shutout, which has been scored
few times since the beginning of the
present century. In 1908 the Chicago
Nationals whitewashed the Detroit
Americans twice in succession, and in
1905 the Giants shut out the Philadel-
phia Athletics four games out of FIVE,
while the only victory OF the Mack
men was also shutout by the Indian
pitcher. "Chief" Bender. Christy
Mathewson. now manager of the Gin
cinnati Nationals. and Iron Man" Joe
McGinnity were the New York twirlers
who engineered the quadruple white
wash Of the Athletics.
There was nothing to forecast the
sensational developments Of to-day's
game in the early innings. For three
sessions it was a pitchers battle be-
tween Faber and Schupp. with little, IL
any, advantage for either. Kauff was
the third man to face Faber in the
Giants half of the fourth, Burns and
J1erzog having failed to make first
base. With two out and his record of
not hit in the settles in thirteen times
at bat a by-word among the fans,
Xauff was desperate.

asainst him he saw a groove" ball,
coming UP from Faber's hand, and.
taking a deep toehold in the batter's
box. he flung the full weight OF his
body into the sweep of the bat. There
vas terrific crack. and the ball flew
like bullet over second base and far
onward into center field.
BALL FALLS AMONG FOLDS
OF LIBERTY LOAN SIGN
Outfielder Felsch, the man who made
/ the tremendous circuit drive off Sallee
in the opening game of the series,
sighted the sailing sphere and sprinted
for the centerfield bleacher fence. The
ball passed over his head and fell
