GIANTS DENY ROUGH PLAY
 AS CHARGED BY WHITE S0x
Herzog and Fletcher Say Chicago Men Tried to Use
 Spikes On Them

cordingly. This series is such a close. hard-fought battle that no one who knows anything about baseball is looking for childs play. But the cry which has gone up from Chicago about the Giants rough tactics is i'm opportune and unfair.
 It was noticed that none of the criticism of the alleged rough play by the Giants has come from the White Sox players. They know that they have done their share of the nagging and have gone out of their way to try to rattle the rival players. They have succeeded against Hetnie Zimmer
 man, for the third baseman's play has been decidedly poor in this series. Zim
 has tried to take the hostile jeers of the Chicago crowd with fortitude, but the tough ordeal is plainly affecting
 his play.
 Dave Robertson of the Giants has been the shining light of the series thus far with his great batting. Rob- bic has hit safely in every one of the five games of the series, ayfeat which has not been equaled by any other player in either club. Robertson's work has been a pleasant surprise for the l Giants, for all season long the south ern slugger has been inclined to be in-
 different in his batting perform l ances.
 l Heading the list of players batting
 in runs stands Benny Kauff. Benny I and his bat have driven four runs
 across the plate. Happy Felsch, Mo
 Mullin, and Chick Gandil' are next l with three each. Eddie Collins, Joe l Jackson, George Burns. and Bill I Rariden have each driven in two runs, | while John Collins, Buck Weaver, Sal l lee, Schupp, Ho1ke, Robertson and I Risberg have each driven in one. The
 third base play of ,McMullin has been | a big surprise to the Giants. for they | never ranked him as player of the first order, and in this series he has been playing rings around Hein1e Zim On neither team has there been I any more polished, more graceful, o1 < more sportsmanlike playing than the second-base work of Eddie Collins

CHAIN PLAYERS IN
 GREAT FORM AND
 BEAT WINCHESTER
lRY Wagner.l

By getting some new blood into the backheld, the American Chain Co. has been strengthened and will be better team than last seasons outfit when a few rough edges are smoothes off. Young players like GrunWald Forst and Bob Hurley put lots of pepper into their efforts and these youngsters helped largely in downing the Winchesters of New Haven by IA to 0 at Newf1eld park yesterday.
 Grunwald is fast man who knows how to pick his openings He made several sprints that resulted in good gains and in the final quarter made the second touchdown for the Chain forces by dashing IA yards. George Moshier also made a few spectacular, runs, but hasn't lost his old fault of running too far across the field in- stead of turning in for a short but sure gain.
 One of the unfortunate happenings of the day was an accident to Dan O'Neil, the Chain Co. center. He broke bone in his ankle in the first half and was taken to the Bridgeport hospital. Pjura was moved over to center to replace him and Gormley replaced Pjura at guard. Bill FHan- dSdu dId-zt ISc0 " Si C strong in the line and Bunk" Ab- bolt did valiant work at guard.
 The Winchesters had a strong team but not quite good enough to hold the Chain crowd in check. The veteran Frechette and Coogan displayed plenty of ability for the visitors. The Chain boys started the scoring in the second quarter when after. a series of rushes to the Winchester 15 yard line, Eddie Reilly lodged his way 15 to touchdown. He also kicked the goal.
 <here was no further scoring until the final quarter when Grunwald went over. Reilly booted that goal between the posts. too.
 ! The best run of the game was attri- buted by Pjura of the Chain crowd, who intercepted a Winchester for ward pass in the second quarter and ran 30 yards before being, downed FTTl-

FANS STAND ALL
 NIGHT TO PROCURE
 SEATS FOR GAME

New York, Oct. 15@Chicago White Sox and New York Giants meet in the sixth contest of the world series on tho Polo grounds today in what Com iskey's men hope will be the money game. The home team, disappointed at it's failure to hold the lead they had in Chicago. are fighting with their backs, to the wall. While the [McGraw men know their chances are desper- ate. they are still hopeful of turning back the White Sox and making the series all even again. New York has but one chance to win, while if Chi Ieaguers would still have another op- portunity to take home the bacon.
 What little betting has been report ed since Saturday favors the White Sox 2 to l, though wagers at even money have been made that the Giants will win today. Atmosph eric conditions were the most favorable of the series in New York. The pros poets were for fair and warmer weather by the time the umpires called the teams together.
 The better weather had the effect of drawing a larger early morning crowd to the Polo grounds. Some men and boys, eager to see what may be the final game of the series were at the stadium at midnight, and with the coming of daylight the one dollar ana two dollar ticket lines began to grow rapidly. Gates to the unreserved seats were opened after g o'clock, as soon as street traffic began to become clogged As the result of the toss Saturday the seventh game, if one is necessary, will be played on the Polo grounds to- morrow.

JOHN |. SULLIVAN IS 53 YEARS OLD
 AND STILL HEARTY

Congratulations are due today to John L. Sullivan. for this is the 59th birthday of the Old Roman who was the mighty men of the ring. The ex- champion now divides his time be- tween his farm and the stage. He has a permanent reserved seat on the water wagon. and is a tame and do- mestfcated John compared with the scrappy big fellow who used to go rampaging around with a chip,on each shoulder, always hunting trouble, and making it where he couldn't find it. After running through several for tunes, John L. has accumulated an other one with which to cheer his de- elining days. He owns a fine S0-acre farm in Plymouth county. Mass., not far from Boston, where he was born Oct. 15, 1858.
 He leads the life of a gentleman farmer during the summer months, but rural joys haven't the power of holding the old .gladiaHor the year round, and in this respect he resem- bles most boxers, for whom the bright lights Of cities have an irresistible appeal. Before Jeffries retired from the ring, he was always telling his friends that he intended to settle QOWn on a ranch ana spend the re- mainder of his life far from the busy haunts of men. That dream ranch of Jefs was a mighty attractive prop< osition, but when it came to investint his money he found that he prefrref

New York, Oct. 15-Those who saw the thrilling drive of the White Sox on Saturday, are still talking about it. There seems to be- a whole lot of un- necessary hysteria in Chicago about the aggressiveness which was exhibit ed by Doth clubs in the exciting bat tle There is a certain element of the Chicago fans who have tried to paint a bad case against McGraw's men on the charge of riding rough shod over the White Sox players. Naturally the players were all under severe strain. There were wordy battles and jump ing on the base paths as in any close game, but no more. Both teams were fighting and fighting hard.
 And, under the stress of such com petition. the men did not handle each other with kid gloves. Chicago fans have tried to build a mountain out of mole hill when they accuse Flttcher of trying to pick fight with Manager Clarence Rowland after the eighth inning. The players had few words and Umpire Evans told. them to end it, and they did.
 Before Saturdays game the Chicago players received orders to go into the bases for all they were worth. When Happy Felsch slid into second in the eighth he was faithfully carrying out these instructions, for he rode high toward Fletcher with his spikes
 gleaming. When Fletcher tagged him with the ball he tagged him good and hard as any player natur- ally would when such an attack is made on a base by g. runner. Felscf

EDDIE COLLINS A HERO.

Although many critics declared be- fore the worlds series started that Charley Herzog would outplay Eddie Collins at second base, the results so far have knocked these predictions into cooked hat, Collins has played like whirlwind while Herzog has done nothing startling except to tackle few Chicago runners.
 Collins has played in many worlds series and generally distinguished himself. He did not do very we'll in 1914 against the Braves but in 1910 against the Cubs he batted .429 and in 1911 against the Giants clouted .2S6. Tn 1913 against the same club he broke into the 400 class again. going at a .421 clip. After the 1913 series Manager McGraw declared Col iins ranked with the greatest nlaye1c he had ever seen. In Saturdays game at Chicago 1t was Collins who steadied the White Sox infleld after the other players began to crack. It has often been said Herzog has more pepper than Collins but you can't reach first base on pepper.
 A boxer can always find some place to light. Sam McVey, who wouldn't draw flies in this country, went down to Panama and took on Jim Johnson, another negro, in g. 25 round bout. McVey won the referees decision.
 Because the gridiron season is in our midst Fletcher and IIerzog of the Giants think they are playing foot ball. A New York writer in telling of Saturdays game remarks. "Herzog | and Fletcher played ends on our team and every runner who tried to round second base was tackled for asloss" Rube Marquard attempted to stop the Lincoln Giants yesterday and the negro players hammered the Brook lyn southpaw for 14 hits.
