How Team Executives Sum
Up World Series Situation

NEW YORK. October I5.-On
their arrival in New York the
league and team executives sum-
med up the situation AZ follows:
BY RAN JOHNSON:
..The White SOx virtually won
the series by taking the ffth
game. which Is the turning point
in most series. The fact that
they did this by fighting n splen-
did uphill battle entities them to
NIL credit. for perhaps a gamer
showing was never made in
world series battle. We expect to
win today. that the world cham
piOnship in base ball may remain
with the American League"
BY JOHN n. TENER:
"The Giants have shown that
they have the ability to come
back, and expect them to repeat
their wonderful performance Of
last week. when the ease against
them look ed even more hopeless
than 1t does now. 1t In apparent
that the teams are so evenly
matched that 1t IL n mighty tough
job for either one of them to win
two games in succession"
BY JOHN j. McGRAW:
''Fhe breaks went against us
Saturday. and in some instances
my team played subnormal ball.
The iniield overlooked chances 1t
should have taken advantage of,
and the sun mt COmfskey Park
bothered my outficlderS-partic
larry kauff and Robertson. So Tar
as pitching is concerned, we are
better off than Chicago, for the
reason that both Benton and
Schupp are fresh, while Rowland
was forced to use all his available
fingers before my teams batting
onslaught Saturday."
BY CLARENCE ROWLAND:

ity nor its EameHess. and 1t proved
IL Possesses both when 1t came

the series for us. None of my

ber and Cicotte - worked hard
enough to bother them, and either
of them will he rcndy to go in at

impartial base ball men give McGraW
credit for keeping his team in the fight
by handling his pitching staff as well as
he knows how.
1t must be remembered that the SoX
are powerful batsmen and that they are
likely to bit any kind Of pitching. Con-
sequently it requires patience and care
full study to put the right hurlers
against them.
AS the situation stands at present, Nc
Graw has manipulated his pitching stan
in such manner that he is not In
tight fix. He is able to come back in
the two games here with Benton and
Schupp, who certainly have made the
White Sox look cheap at the bat and
also are in tiptop condition
up all OF his pitchers. and must take
chances with one or two men. who al
ready have been extended TO the Limit
and also have been hit hard by the
Giants. Pitching will decide TINS world 8
series. and according to present indica-
tions the Giants have a pronounced adj
vantage in the box.
The series has proved that the Giants
can hit ali of the Chicago boNmen,
whereas the SoN have yet TO score run
off Benton. Assuming that the Giants
PLAY a stronger gabe here than in ChI-
cago, it is reasonable to expect far
more brilliant exhibition by them than
they displayed in any of the games at
Comiskey Park.
The White Sox naturally are elated
over their unexpected comeback, ana
are prepared to battle strenuously 10
win the series this afternoon. Comis-

boarded the train for this city Satur-

McIraW men nave not given up the
fight. They realize that they should
have won Saturdays game and that they
are generally regarded as the prospective
winners of the series. Back on the Polo
Grounds today they will have the ad-
vantage of a loyal home crowd and the
temperance Of Rube Benton in the box.
McGraw feels confident that Benton will
today repeat last Wednesdays great tr-
uinph, and that with the series tied he
will win the deciding struggle with Ferdi-
nand Schupp on the firing line.
The pitching problem seems to be easy
bf solution from New York point of
view. McGraw has Benton and Schupp
ready for the two final games in this
city, and these star ft-handers already
have won two shutout games from the
SoN. On the contrary, Manager Rowland
seems to be up against it. He does not
dare to start Reb Russell. and he still
has an idea that Southpaw Williams
lacks the necessary experience. Dan
forth was slaughtered in one inning last
Thursday by the Giants. so that he is
out of the running.
Rowland. therefore. will be compelled
to start either Cicotte or Faber. both of
York team In the opinion of Chicago
critics. Faber cannot stand the strain
for more than five innings. SO that Ci-
cote still remains Rowland's one best
bet
OF course, McGraw will be panned for
making an alleged anagerial mistake
but if Sallec had come out of the
scrap With colors flying McGraw's ira
ducers would have been compelled to
