a continuance of the hitting but Gan
dill checked the rally with a wonderful
running catch of the Giants field
captains foul which he speared one
handed as the ball was about to dis
appear among the spectators in one
of the ground row of field boxes. That
was the end of the run-making for
the day for after that spectacular in
ming, both Cicotte and Benton pitched
weIl-nigh perfect ball. While both
teams got runners on the bases the
hits to bring them home never were
forthcoming.
benton Delivers More Balls
AS was the case in the two to one
win of Saturday, the winning pitcher
was forced to deliver more balls than
his defeated rival. Benton today
pitched total of l06 balls to CT
cotte's 81, just as Cicotte in his vic
torious game hurled 101 to Sallees
So. During the nine innings which
Benton pitched the Giants grenadier
hurled 81 strikes, 3S balls IA foul
strikes; the White Sox made five
nits, drove out Il field outs and
foued three balls.
Cicotte pitching 81 times. secured
II strikes II foul strikes, gave -
balls ana was fouled five times. The
Giants reached. him for eight hits
went out sixteen times on fielding
plays and j. Collins two errors on
kauff's drives account for the re-
mainder.
Little Choice in Pitchers
While there was little, ii any, ad-
! vantage between the two pitchers, ii
appeared to many as though Benton
had more on the ball than Cicotte
His delivery came up with wide
sweeping curves or bi oke with al
most right angle slants which had
the White Sox missing or popping up
most of the time. The Chicago twir-
Ter varied his pitching to greater
extent than Benton and his control
was as perfect as usual. To those
who saw him work in the first con-
test it appeared as though ne did not
have as sharp a curve or break as
ON Saturday when he turned back
| the Giants with seven hits and one
run. His record today was eight
hits and two runs, while Benton let
the White Sox down with five hits
no two coming in one inning.
Cicotte Fans Many.
Cicotte famed eight Giants to Ben
tons five. Burns, Hol1e and Benton
all fell twice before the Chicago hurl-
els slants while Bentons only dou-
| BILE strike out victim was Cicotte
fThe New York team had twice as
many runners stranded on the bases
as the White SoX, the count being
eight to four. Robertson led all the
players with three hits in four times
at bat for a total of five bases while
of Chicagos five hits, Eddie Collins
and Weaver each secured two. Meth
er Kauff nor Jackson had a fielding
chance and Robertson stole the only
base purloned Neither pitcher gave
a base on balls and none of the five
errors contributed in any way toward
/ the score.
| Receipts and Attendance
! The total attendance was s., GIG and
| the receipts S73,0S1. Of this amount
the players received $39,463.74; each
club $I3, 154.5S and the national com
mission $7,30S.10. Neither in attend
ance nor receipts did the figures of
| today's game equal several world S
series contests played in other years
at the Polo grounds.
| The few vacant seats in either
3leachers or stands We're not visible
rom the field and the thousands
rooted loud and frequently for the
Giants. The White Sox, however
( were not friendless for there was :

! opportunity to cheer on their fav-

umpires against riding" Of opponents
was effective and there was no re-
partee among the players and no dis
