Notes Cleaned
AS Giants Bow
To White Sox

Even though hitting almost exclu-
sively against left-hsnd pitching, Eddie
Collins always was dangerous, and HIT
to all fields with seeming equal ease.
II he showed any preference. 1t was
for short left, and that accounts for
his single in the first inning. Fletcher
was playing far to the right when L.
TrowbridCe hit slow bounder over
second, which "Fletch" would have
reached had he been standing IN MS
customary position. No man IN the
series played ball more valuable TO his
club than that shown by the former
Connie Mack star.
Permits sprint to second on a wild
pitch and then to third as Collins and
Felsch collided will be remembered as
one of the most daring bits Of base
running a pitcher ever displayed IN a
world series.
Incidentally, Polonius used bad judg-
ment in pitching to Gandil IN the
eighth inning. With a man on frst, ne
pitched six successive strikes to the
Chicken" who almost knocked the last
one for a goal. Had it been few ieet
higher it would have gone over hauh
head for home run.
In the first inning Kauff struck out,
and two of the three balls he struck
at were bad balls. Zimmerman like
wise gave a championship demonstra-
ton OF the kind of balls not TO hit at.
The wise money took wings and flew
Yesterday. The great majority OF the
Johns had sunk the ship on the Giants,
figuring that the seventh and not the
eighth game would be the difficult one
to pick. Colonel John Doyle reported
an exchange of several thousand dollars
that doubtless will be taken back to
that dear old Chicago town.
Sir William KLEIN, who was operating
behind the plate, was placed IN many
difficult positions yesterday, where the
importance of his decisions could not
be exaggerated. Particularly was this
true in the fifth inning, when Faber
was pitching to Wilhoit. Precisely
three Of the four called balls were pro
tested by Fsber. In the ninth KLEIN
called the third strike on Rsriden. 1t
was a low. fast ball that "got a cor
uer' in it's final sweep TO the plate.
Fletcher and Weaver nearly came 70
blows in the ninth inning. IL was
