on Board the White Sox Special,
Oct. S.-A happy laughing team of ball
players rode this train to New York
today. Two up on the Giants after
their first clashes with the National
league champions, the White Sox bask-
ed in the sunny smiles of fandom, for
they are just halfway down the trail
that leads to the worlds champion
ship.
Everything seemed to favor the Am
erican leaguers as they approached
their two contests to be staged on the
polo grounds. The prospect of playing
on an alien field bothered them but
little. They have the knowledge that
John McGraw is short of pitchers and
that Clarence Rowland can now af-
ford to take a chance. Cicotte and Fa-
Der. his two stars have downed the
enemy. They are now able to take a
rest.
PERRiTT MAY BE USED
1t wasn't that way with the Giants,
as the Chicagoans figured it. They
had witnessed the setting of two suns
those of Schupp and Salee. They
had faced the fearsome shoots of Per
rift and had come off victorious. They
know the curves and tricks OF Fred
Anderson. John McGraw was left
helpless from the standpoint of pitch
Ing strategy. Supporters or the New
York club who had figured McGraw
would save Schupp to WORK against the
Soy at home were confident the Giants
leader would not start the young left
handler. They believed it meant a
start for RUDE Benton or Poll Perritt.
The latter's showing against the Am
erican league champions, while not ex-
ceptionally brilliant, was sufficient to
convince baseball followers that IN tho
right arm of the former Cardinal lies
the greatest pitching power the Ma
tional league champions hold.
+ AS had been predicted by the United
Press the Sox have taken the jump,
and the rest of the predction-that
the White Sox would come through
with their second worlds champion
ship-seems about to be realized.
WHITE Sox CONFIDENT.
There is favor for the Sox in playing
at the Polo grounds, for they have be-
come accustomed to the home of the
Giants. There We're some who believ-
ed the return home would have a
cheering effect on the Giants that
would amount to more than mere tov
at coming home. The Giants never
played baseball in Comiskey PARK and
were at some disadvantage. The
White Sox's confidence, however, was
running wild. Never member of the
team could consider anything but vic
tory in two more games.
That sort of figuring seems out of
che ordinary, for McGraw is at the
head of a powerful baseball club, one
that Will go strong with breaks in the
luck. He still holds an ace in Slim
Sallee, who pitched an extraordinary
game against the Sox in the opening
encounter. He still has Benton to
fling into the fray, and he possesses
an excellent right handler in Perritt.
Dope points to at least one victory for
the National leaguers with a probable
fly that they will take away two
games.
Clarence Rowland could send Eddie
Cicotte back today. Cicotte is whale
OF a pitcher, of which the Giants are
aware. His presence on the pitching
mound would have great effect How
ever, Reb Russell has been showing
lots of stuff and is expected to get the
call. He would give Rowland the
added advantage of mixing it up for
the opposition
II was considered improbable that
Schupp would get to work again. un-

games. Sohupp, In addition to having
