ager Rowland's plans Of winning the
worlds series for the White Sox from
the Giants with only two pitchers, Ed
die Cicotte and Urban Faber were
knocked silly when the National league
champions came back with another
terrific punch and evened up the series
BY winning the fourth game. s to 0,

kauK Makes First Home Run.
Benny Kauff, the hero Of the contest,
was the one who took all of the starch
out Of Faber with home run wallop
In the fourth inning. Both clubs strug-
gled along without tally for three in
nings, but In the fourth Kauff broke
the Ice with terrific swat to the cen
ter field fence.
But what the Giants did to Danforth,
the first southpaw to work In the series
for the White Sox, was a shame. This
also was a tip-off for Rowland not to
send left-hander against the Giants.
They gave Dave a trOuncing and Kauff
obtained his second home run with
Herzog perched on one Of the bases.
Kauff made up for the lack Of hitting
In the first two contests.
Ball Sails Over FeIsch's Head.
Neither team had scored and the
Giants had not been able to CLEAN even
one hit from Faber's effective pitching.
There were two out when Benny came
up. Faber "grooved" one and Kauff

The hit was high but long and the
force behind 1t caused Happy Felsch to
despair Of a catch.
The ball rebounded from the center
field fence and began bobbing around
a slight embankment. Felsch made
three grabs before he could clutch the
pill, and when 1t finally was started
ba- toward the diamond Kauff was
rounding third base. He slid home,
but that was not necessary, as the play
was not even close. AS Kauff walked
to the bench he was presented with a
$50 Liberty bond, which was offered
by Clara Kimball Young for the first
home run Of the series.
Home Run Shock to Faber.
Faber never fully recovered from the
shock that Kauff gave him. He was
bumped for four singles in the next
round, but escaped with only one run
when Rariden hit into double play
at the plate and first base.
Again in the sixth the Giants threat
ened, but Faber crawled out with
base runner left on third. He still was
shaky In the seventh when he un-
corked wild pitch that advanced a
runner from first to third base and
then hit the next batter.
Though the Giants had lead of 3
to 0 going into the eighth, they were
not on easy street until Kauff delivered
his second home run. Dave DanfOrth
was manhandled by the Giants in that
round.
kauff Poles Out Second Homer.
Danforth, who opposed the Giants in
the first half Of the eighth, relieved
Faber after Risberg had batted for the
latter. Danforth started by tanning
Burns, but Herzog smashed clean
single to center. In his anxiety to
drive Herzog around, Kauff took two
cuts at bad balls and registered misses.
With the count two and nothing
against Benny, the spectators were un-
prepared for what followed. DAN
forth evidently figured he could sneak
over a third strike. He lay in Kauff's
alley and once more the ball arose for
high, long flight, this time to right
field.
Next Game at Chicago.
The Giants departed Immediately
after the game for Chicago and were to
arrive there ahead of the White Sox.
They will have chance to rest for the
fifth battle, which will be played at
Comiskey park Saturday.
