Tcfs should not despair. The Giants
are not nearly so bad a ball club as
they appeared 10 be during the siren

first four innings, nor are the White
Sox as much better a ball club as
they appeared TO be during those
game moments.
The Giants. evidently moderated,
for the time being, that wallop Of
which the White SoL are possessed
They did not Know that when the
Sox are driven back on the defensive
they are most dangerous They pro-

by Schalk, to grab the lead early in
the game. And the White SoN rose
up, rearing 20 90, and they went
They waded into the Giants with
svallop after wallop. and evened up
the count
Their lack OF skflful and well
arranged offensive kept them
from winning the game right
there, hut later they routed pitch

time on the two teams played in

National league teams all summer,
and being the pOssess0rs OF 4 punch
declined 10 believe that the White
S0x are there with q Wallop IN either
hand, nor do they appear TO realize
that the SoE are not a team that
fights until they are in trouble.
r Yesterday they got into trouble
There was no doubt but that they
were in trouble, for Red Faber is NOT
a pitcher who IS inspired when his
team is behind. or when the luck APP

HIS side arm splitter was crack
fn= across the plate, and the
Giants were not hitting him to
any great extent. In the second
inning. the Giants spilled the dope
for minute or two.
Faber appeared 10 have trouble IN
keeping the ball in perfect control
and the Giants exhibited their Ma
tional league brand Of punch, and
they hit with some luck, and IN the
pinch our gallant little hero, Kay
Schalk has a habit Of playing the
runners instead Of the bail he
seems 20 think that the play at the
plate is 20 sit on the base runner and

Anderson used clean speed, and a
side arm spit ball, and the White Sox
scratched their heads and puzzled
over il for one inning then resumed
the batterinE.
The exhibition Of crashing that
the White SoE gave in the fourth
inning was one OF the prettiest
ever seen. They sent five
snsnshes through the hevfldered
Giaufs's inffeld, scored five runs,
and placed the game in refrigera-
fiou.
Sometimes we speak Of the luck OF
baseball. Yesterday, OF the nine hits
that decided the contest, eight were
close enough to infielders to be al
most within grasp. and the great ma
fority were within a few feet Of the
frantic hands Of Buck Herzog. There
