| NEW YORK. October S.-Confldent
that they will "clean up. the White
Sox. champions Of the American League,
arrived here tonight eager for the
fray with the Giants at the Polo
chalked to their credit the men from
the Windy City were joyous bunch
as they alighted from the train and
sped to their hotel.
In another train the Giants--dis-
heartened. discouraged, but, ncvcrthe-
less, with n ray of confidence still per-
meating their sysiems-came home.
None of the hurrah and bang, which
usually greets n winner, was in evil
dence. In fact, McGraw's band was
hardly noticed. Some few dyed lin the
wool fans were there to meet the Ma
tional League champions. and they en-
| couraged them with shouts of Don't
give up" But the shouts were half
players who are now backed to the
wall and must loosen up their heavy
artillery to even have Il look-in at
basehalls premier honors.
Although the Giants know they are
on the wrong side of the ledger and
have an outside chance to grab off the
big series. they are going back to the
days of Other worlds series They
point out that even though they have
been beaten in first two games, the
series is not over. On their own baili-
wick they believe they will turn the
trick" The Giants point out that five
years ago in the series with the Red
sox they came back after losing three
straight and evened up the series,
played a tie. and then lost the final
game because Snodgrass misjudged an
easy fly.
And the Giants also go back further
when worlds series were in their in
fancy and point out that the Red Sox,
trimmed by tho Pirates in the first
trio of games. came out a winner
Nervousness Among Ginnts.
But despite their dope and the fact
that outwardly they are full of conf
dence. there is a sort OF nervousness in
the Giants ranks that will not down.
The most disconsolate member of the
Giants is Ferdie Schupp. The Louis
willie kid is all "broke up" over the
slamming he received from the White
:SoN in Chicago yesterday. He wants
another crack at the American League
champions. He believes he will do a
come back" stunt. Whether Mana
ser McGraw will give him the oppor-
tunity is problematical. It looks as
II the Giant leader would send Sallee
back at the White Sox Tomorrow
u.
He may give his "llid" left-hander a
chance 20 redeem himself. But Nc
Graw knows he must have this game.
If he loses Tomorrow It will practi-
cally he all over but the shouting. Ben
ton has not been worked yet He may
receive the call. In any event it looks
like safe bet that McGraw will send
another left-hander TO the firing line.
C:cotte will be asked to repeat for
the White SON to-mOrrow Tho
BALI artist is Elutton for work. The
more he pitches the better he fools the
opposing hatsmen. With two aces In

three straight, and thus have a copper

Cicotte. He said to-day the man who

o"iciate. but you can never tell what

McGraw tonight looked like man
