.sWe're going to win," was the sole
comment of Clarence Rowland today
as his White Sox speeded toward
Couniskey park for their fifth battle
with the Giants.

with the fight for the worlds base
ball title now knotted, these two
staten ents represent the sentiments
Of the two teams that have throttled
each other twice and are now sQuar-
ing away for the stretch. The So1
are disappointed almost to the point
OF paevishness at their set-bachs OF
the past two days. The Giants are
confident and cocky. Benny Kann is
all smiles. He may have been held
hitless and helpless for three games
by the Sox pitchers. but he crossed
home plate at the polo grounds twice.

the entire Sox team failed to tally

Praise was heaped on the brow OF
Ferdie Schupp by the White So1 to-
day. They declared the youthful

Happy Felsch was unhappy today.
He's much exercised over the fact
that Benny Kauff was given credit
FOR home run on his wallop to CEN
ter In the fourth inning. Felsch
thinks Benny should have been cred
tied with only a triple and In thus
cutting down Benny's wallop, Happy
would take an error Felsch mussed
up the grass considerably trying to
pick up the ball and in addition to
this declares he would have pulled
down the drive but for the fact that
he misjudged 1t.
All of the Sox players agree that
the break" in the game which sent
them on the road to certain defeat
was in the fourth inning when Eddie
Collins was caught off second. Eddie
had doubled, but with the run he
represented perched on the midway
station. Collins was trapped by
Schupp and Herzog and killed off.
1t was smart play, pulled so
quick that Collins was caught several
yards off the second bag and when
he dashed for third he was easily
thrown out to Zimm erman.
Giants Cross Sox.
The Sox admit they were COM
pletely crossed by the Giants in the
fourth inning. After Fletcher had
singled, Robertson came up and
swung at the first ball pitched, as
though trying to hit it mile. Then
he dumped the next one down the
third base line for a bunt. Holke
followed with another bunt. McMul-
lin was completely lost on both plays.

two circuit knocks he did what only
