FEW WOMEN ATTEND

One of the oddities of the scene was the comparatively few women among all the thousands present. The percentage of women could not have been more than l to 100. There was also a notable ab- sence of the continuous cheering which the rivalry of the series had forecast.
 There were tremendous outbursts of applause and encouragement at critical periods or when startling catches or hits were made, but on the whole the tense- ness of the struggle appeared to grip the fans so that they were unable to give vent to their emotions.
 There were not lacking moments whan the spectators rose en masse, however, and hurled their vocal offerings across the field, for the game was replete with startling catches, double plays long hits and the breaks which mark the line di- viding victory and defeat. In the en- < thusiasm of the occasion even the wea th- CT man relented and at the last moment furnished a perfect weather setting For the diamond battle. A blue sky flecked with film of cloud, looked down upon the struggling players and the stiff south wind failed to interfere with their work, due to the protection of the tow ering stands
 FIELD TRIPLE SOFT
 t Under foot the field. although a trifle soft from the rain of Friday, was true and there was not a miscue which could be attributed to poor fielding conditiont
 While the box scores showed little ad- vantage one way or the other between the two teams, the fact remains that the White Sox for the day at least showed a faster and better machine th,.r the Giants. Both the infleld and the foutfied worked with perfect judgment and harmony and the players collective ly and individually co-operated to high CT degree The men of Rowland. Cicotte on the mound, appeared to have . psychological edge on the Giants and even in the most uncertain moments "a dash and vim was an outstanding fea- ture of their work
 < They were the first to score, gathering in their initial run in the third when after Schalk had been retired at firs by Zimmerman, Cicotte singled through second. John Collins followed with an other to right and Cicotte was throwr out at third by Robertson, while Collins took second on the throw, From the midway sack he was able to score easily when McMullin doubled over second.
