were mishit and hoped past Cicotte' 8
fingers, and one was the sun ueld fly
that decided the contest OF Chicago's
widely scattered hits one was an in
field fluke and one was sun field

To the Giants the bEg advant-
age was not 80 much that they
now have won n game as II is the
fact that CfcOtte was compelled
TO pitch twice Hs hard as he would
have been had not Collins and the
luck kept him in trouble most OF
the time
He pitched more than 80 balls
above what he should have pitched
and he went through three nervous
strains instead Of having base in
uings. This fact counts IN series
and may affect Cicotte's next game
There seldom has been so well
played game Of ball IN any world
series or any so free from flukes or
accidents.
benton Hero Of Game.
Benton pitched a practically un-
heatable game of ball We had fig
ured Benton as being almost out Of II

ton Of the report that his arm was
bad. If his arm is bad McGraw ought

Benton had terrific speed. a fast
slashinE curve ball that broke sharp
troll as any left handler needs.
With the exception of the eighth
inning the White Sox never had a real
chance to register score against MIN
and in that inning 1t was Cicotte who
broke up the opportunity. The luck
which had been running heavily
against CicOtte seemed to turn A
fly ball that should have been easily
caught fell safe because Burns did
not see IL in time and, for moment

White SON Defence Good.
Each team was on edge and the
speed and brilliant defensive work
was wonderful For three innings the
White SON were on the defence stead

flv balls TO squirm through his fin

They were battling each other and
playing fierce defensive ball Robert
son closed up the White SoX fourth
inning by going back against the
concrete wall in right field and grab
bling GandiTs drive which was meant
to upset everything. Felsch was on
first and running when the ball was
hit and RObertson's magnificent Jawn
Murray catch. prevented at least one
run. The big crowd roared its ap-
plause.
Robertson isn't accustomed to hear
ing that sort Of thing and II Inspired
him. He wallOped one a mile 10 right
center. For an instant ii looked as if
the ball would clear the wall but II
struck inside and Robertson was held
at third Holke was next. Clcotte was
pitching magnitlcently 10 him and ne
clipped a short, low fly ball to left
1t was the kind of a fly ball that US
ually is easy, and one on which the
runner either had TO score or be
thrown out at the plate.
It looked ten to one J. Collins
would catch IL, and II he caught
IL, IL was ten to one Robertson
could not score, excepting by
grace of a wide throw, and among
the category OF J. Collins's faults
the wild throw Is not Included.
Collins came tearing up the hill.
He evidently lost sight Of the ball
sideways, so instead OF a fly out
or n double play one run was In
and a runner on second.
That play represents all the differ
ence between the teams in the game.
OF course Rariden sacrificed and
more Of course Benton struck out.
Burns who had been helpless before
CicOtte, managed to stop one and II
bounded, twisting. and just out Of CT
cOtte's reach, so the second run came
home. From my analysis the Giants
can gather but cold comfort from
their victory. They have proved that
they are a good ball club, but even
yesterday, with the Benton brand or
pitching stopping the White SOX, and
with the breaks favoring their OPP
pOnents. the White Sox showed them
selves to be a better ball club.
White SOx Strong.
The White SOx are weakened only
by the extra strain that was thrown
onto Cicotte yesterday. He can come
right back and pitch in Chicago
