NEW YORK, Oct, 11-Whethel
the White Sox are to return to theil
home lot needing only one more game
to grab the worlds baseball title. o,
this star spangled worlds series is tc
become a dizzy fight running to SIX
or even seven games, will be decided
today.
The Giants are up and coming. The
Sox are just as good as they were
Saturday and Sunday when they
took two games in a row.
But they now hare the New York
crowd fighting back at them, encour-
aged by the cheers OF the home folks
and their pitching tangle unsnarled.
Another line Of fans shivered and
shook at the bleacher gates OF the
Polo ground In the cold and rain that
prevailed early today. When Rube
Benton turned back the So1 yester-
day he transformed the series from .
runaway into a bitter, determined
struggle. The Giant fans were stalk
ing everything on today's game. A
victory and the series will be even
up. Defeat and the Sox win return
home on the verge of clinchihg the
title. Favor hung on the McGraw
doorstep as John made ready to send
the Giants into the fourth fray Of the
series today. Fortune who has given
McGraw some rude bumps in the last
few days was flirting with him, for
she gave him the critical battle. Sal
lee, Schupp or Perrftt were ready to
step to the firing line today The
punch that had gone straying In Chi
cago had been located The Giants
have proved they are the better away
from the jeers of Chicago. But they
must have their winning luck against
Chicago today for Saturday they
must face the raging crowd that
crushed them in the windy town and
set them to playing with their chins
on their chests.

weather was due for this Afternoon
