New York. Oct. 1.-THE New York
Nationals batted thcir way to victory
over the Chicago Americans here to-
day, 5 to 0. and the Giants are travel
ing westward tonight on even terms
with their rivals. as each club has won
two games OF the struggle for the
world championship.
The victory Of the Giants today was
the most impressive of the struggle
to date. for they cxcelled in pitching
and batting. Chicago never got a
runner beyond third base and the team
left for home without crossing the
Polo grounds homeplate in Is In
ntngs.
Two NeAs Heroes.
Two new diamond heroes leaned to
fame In the clash today-Ferdinand
Schupp, the youthful lefthander Of
Louisville. KY. turned the White Sox
batters back without run, and Benny
Kauff, of Middleport, Ohio, led the
batting massacre with two home
runs.
Schupp fully redeemed himself for
the vicious sally made by the Chicago
club In the second game on their home
grounds when they drove him from the
mound early lin The contest Kauff,
after 13 lftless trips to the plate,
finally found his batting eye ana broke
through Pitcher FSber for a circuit
drive which paved tac way for the
Giants onslaught that later was to de-
moralize the White Sox. The effec-
tiveness Of Schdpps pitching and
Kauffs batting was sufficient to de-
feat the American league champions.
Only twice in the long history of
worlds series games has Kauff's feat
of two homeruns in one game been
duplicated. once by Harry Hooper of
the Boston Americans In 1915 in
game against the Philadelphia Ma
tionals and once by Outfielder Dough-
erty of the same club in 1908. playing
against the Pittsburgh Nationals.
Another Record 6quailed.
In shutting ont the Sox without n
run. following similar feat by Rubc
Benton yesterday Schupp also equalled
for the Giants team. as whole, a
double shutout which has been scored
few times since the beginning OF the
present century. In 1908 the Chicago
Nationals whitewashed the Detroit
Americans twice in succession, and i'm
1905 the Giants OF those days.shut out
the Philadelphia Athletics four gaines
out of five, while the only victory G.
