BOTH Confident
Rowland and McGraW Look to
Saturdays Game.
''SOx Disappointed to Peevish-
ness" Says John.
BY H. c. HAMILTON.

With the Words Series at Large,
Buffalo, n. Y, Oct. 12.--."We're going
to win," was the sole comment of
Clarence Rowland today as his White
Sox speeded toward Comiskey park
for their fifth battle with the Giants.
II knew we would come back. Now
that we're back we are going thru to
victory" is John McGraw's size up.
With the fight for the worlds base
ball title now knotted, these two state
ments represent the sentiments of the
two teams that have throttled each
other twice and are now squaring away
for the stretch. The Sox are disap-
pointed almost to the point of peevish-
ness at their set backs of the past
two days The Giants are confident
and cocky. Benny Kauff is all smiles.
He may have been held fhitless and
helpless for three games by the Sox
pitchers but he crossed home plate at
the Polo grounds twice, single handed
in one game where the entire Sox
team failed to tally even once in
brace of pastimes.
The White SoX are back right where
they started last Saturday-even up
after a dashing start and fortune is
now playing no favorites. The adj
vantage of the. Chicago bunch in play
ing Saturdays game on their home
grounds will be evened UP by the fact
that the Giants have their confidence

Saturdays Game a Whiz.
Saturdays game in Chicago should
be a whiz. So far victories have all
been returned on home lots. If the
Giants can break thru and take to-
morrow's game in Comiskey par, they
will return home for Mondays battle
with the chance of clinching final
victory
Favored by a home crowd, out to
ride" the Giants. however, the Sox
are confident of coping the fifth
game. Should these home victories
rule then continue and the Giants win
the sixth Monday, luck will rule for
the seventh, when the toss is made to
determine where it will be played
Praise was heaped on the brow of
Ferdie Schupp by the White Sox to-
day. They declared the youthful
southpaw showed up with a startling
fright of Sunday. He was game to
lay them over at any point during the
contest, but simply had so much on
the ball he was invincible.
It developed last night that Reb
Russell had been primed to meet the
Giants in yesterdays game by Mana

picked at the last moment.

Polo Grounds, n. Y, Oct. 1.-THE
Giants battled their way back to an
even basis with the White Sox here
Thursday in their struggle for the
worlds series baseball championship.
Ferdie Schupp duplicated the per-
Torrance of RUDE Benton Wednes-
day by holding the White Sox run
less.
The Giants pounded Faber and Dan
forth for five runs. Benny Kauff
shared with Schupp the individual
honors. Twice the hitherto hitless
slugger pounded out home run, once
with Charley Herzog on the paths be-
fore him. His first circuit clout was
over Felsch'S head in deep center field
in the fourth inning and the second
was into the right field grandstand in
the eighth. Four hits were punched
in the fifth inning for another Giant
run and the seventh saw the other run
er's infield out.
The Giants deliberately stole r the
White SoX heaviest thunder in the
fifth inning when by an attack of
bunting, they accumulated two hits
that followed a line single and which
resulted directly in the second run.
Aside from its run getting value, this
attack had the effect of completely
upsetting the Chicago infield so the
White Sox played with noticeably less
dash.
E. Collins BuIIed Boner.
Eddie Collins was responsible for
play, that had it not taken place
might have held the White Sox in the
game. In the fourth he led off with
double but after Schupp had failed
in several attempts to pick him off,
he was finally nailed flatfooted and
put out at third. Fast playing by
Schupp and Herzog and Collins was
completely outguessed. a.vz.g
Schupp came back in remarkable
fashion after having been driven from
the box in Chicago on Sunday. He
struck out seven and allowed seven
hits.
Faber, for Chicago, was going strong
in the early innings but weakened.
Danforth took up the burden in the
eighth inning.
The White Sox and Giants leave to-
night for Chicago where they will play
the fifth game of the series at Comis-
icy park Saturday. They return here
Monday for the sixth game
