PABBR WAS STEADY

White Sox Crack Slabman Wabbled
 Only Once During Crucial Game,
 and Giants Score Twice Thereby.
 New York, Oct. 16.-Steadiness was the quality that enabled Urban Faber to triumph in the decisive game of the worlds series.
 Analysis of the pitching shows that he was not much more effective than Benton and Perritt, but he wabbled only once in the game, the fifth in- ming, when two runs were scored be- cause of his inability to find the plate.
 The fact that he won the game was due to the fact that his support was ment by his club mates was scandalous.
 In the matter of called balls. Faber had only four less than the total of Benton and Perritt, while in strikes called the Giant pitchers excelled the ChicaEoan by nine. As to the balls hit to infield and outfield, the opposing pitchers were practically on an even basis, but In the matter of balls served, Benton, by l using twenty-six in the fateful fourth. made the Giant total considerably more than that of Faber. Faber served twenty balls in the 1 fifth, when the Giants scored twice, and twenty-two in the seventh. when the Giants had him in an anxious 1 frame of mind. 1 The pitching statistics by innings 1 are as follows: l Benton. 91O13 26 IA .: ..-72 | Perrit... ..... 13 It l. 14-57 ! 129

NEW YORK HOOTERS HOPEFUL TO THE END
Crowds at TiCkerS and Bulletin Boards Hope Against Fate

New York, Oct. 16-Wherever base ball fans gathered in these parts last night Old Man Gloom was master of ceremonies. The unwelcome but ir- repressible joy killer lowered every where. He even shot his darts of sadness into places where fans were hitherto unknown. Held in check since the series began by an optimism that would not be downed, he un- shaclxled himself at the Polo Grounds with Heinie Zimmerman's bone plays in the fourth inning and never stop ped his joyless rampage until he had dejected and depressed millions of X New Workers and their friends.
 He did more than depress Broad ( way. He staggered it; fairly knocked 1t out of its happy senses and left it as jubilant and enthusiastic as Phil- night-and that's going some. Depres- |sion and dejection were all over this flown. Gloom early filled the hotels land restaurants of the white light district and then filtered in all di- rections to other centers where ordi- narily joy reigns supreme at this sea- son of tho year.
 And then into tho homes he glided And remained in each long enough to east his evil influence over families which had never known depression before. He worked on father. son and brother, and through them on the entire family until all New York and ite environs sought relief from his ugly weapons in sweet dreams.
 The Old Soy Killer did not score his victory without battle though. From the time Heinie Zim got into his bril- liant brain that he could give Eddie Collins a handicap and beat him in . dash from third base to home plate the crowd on the scene made only feeble efforts to banish him. But around the bulletin boards and tick CTS which abound in the city it was different.
 The rooters who watched the Giant Eox battle from the boards or tickers could not believe that the Bronx boy or any other Giant, could pull such a bone. Even newspaper accounts of Heinie's play were thrown aside with scorn Heinie might have made an error, they conceded, but an error in such a heart stirring battle was par donable in their opinion, and almost as one they continued their roofing for a New York rally that would win the game and the championship. And they had plenty of opportunity to enthuse. In the Giants half of the fifth innl,lg pandemonium reigned in every section of the city where score boards gave the progress of the game to the fans. It was in that frame that the Giants scored two runs.
 Tells and whoops and cheers &C., companied frantic and fanatical dances, while hats, papers and even valuable bundles were tossed high in the air.
 The two runs had cut down the big handicap to mere run and to the 'outside' fans this could easily be overcome by the heavy hitting Giants. Almost each succeeding inning gave the faithful hopes, for Robertson got on in the sixth; Pol Perrit reached third in the seventh. and Bobby was perched on second in the ninth. But all of their roofing availed them noth- Ing, for the necessary punch was missing, and when Lew McCarty, the last batter for the Giants went out on tiny roller MT. Joy Killer became their master.
