GIANTS CONFIDENT TWIRLERS WILL BE
 MASTERS OF SOX

NSW 1oIh, SePI-e o@ln the maze or conjecture anent the forthcoming struggle for world honors on the dia- mond is one apparently we'll founded oehef: l. e., that the New York pitch CTS will do their full share to make the title safe for the metropolis. At this spicy juncture of the fading cam paign the New York twirlers are per- forming at a more sprightly pace than they have travelled in weeks. That goes for every member of the staff except Al Demaree and Jeff Tes- reau, neither of whom has done any thing over which to wax enthusiastic in quite a spell.
 If Ferdie Schupp, Harry SaI1ee. Rube Benton, Poll Perritt and Fred Anderson continue their present rate or progress in world series competi- ton the White Sox will confront a very rugged assignment. The spIen- did work of Perritt and Anderson in the current series has removed all doubt as to their condition
 Perrftt has been operating at top Tor quite stretch. He has won his last four games handiIy, downing the Cubs, Pirates, Braves and Phillies in the order named. He gave a splendid exhibition against Moran's invaders on Thursday In the second game, shutting them out by score of z to O. and allowing them only seven scattered hits. Whenever the Phils threatened. Poll just put on a little extra speed and the drive was check ed
 z Perritt's improvement has removed a heavy load from the managerial mind that directs the destinies of the Giants. For a time during the mid de of the campaign it was feared the one-time St. Louis fashion plate was on the toboggan. but lately he has been one of the principal factors in the successes of the team. With Perrttt and Anderson both in form, McGraw will have two excellent right handlers to supplement the southpaw stars. It will give him five first class fingers, which should be sufficient to insure adequate service in the box.
 Fred Anderson twice has served as a relief pitcher in the series with the Phillies and has performed hand somely on both occasions. Like Per- ritt, there was some doubt concerning Anderson's ability to remain on the winning course It was feared he might not be in shape for the big series in the autumn. But his efh- cient pitching against the Phillies shows he, too, is prined for the final debate.
 With both Perritt and Anderson available for duty in the first line trenches alongside Schupp, Benton and Sallee, New York will present fully as formidable a box brigade as the White Sox in the big series. There will be very little to choose between the rival staffs.' Chicago is without an outstanding star, like Babe Ruth or Ernie Shore.
 Rowland will depend upon that cagey old marvel of the mound, Ed die Cicotte, inventor of the shine ball." who is bringing to close one of the most successful seasons of his career; Lefty Russell, skillful southpaw; Davey Danforth, another left-hander, who is an able citizen in any kind of competition; Lefty Williams, one of. the most promising southpaws in the pastime, and Urban Faber and Jim Scctt, who rank among the leading right-handers of the game.
