Best Offerings of Benton and PerTitt

4 TEW YORK, oct 16.-Chicago
nj White Sox are worlds cham
\ pions. The dope is INDICATED,
and last night Charles A. Comisl1ey
tore down the sign at 42d street and
Broadway, and put up one christening
it, Clark and Randolph.
The White Sox won the game and
set in the sixth game. exactly as the
dope indicated they would, and they
outgamed and outbattled the Giants
They won. not on merit Of pitching,
not on strength Of batting, not on
superior pitching. but on nerve and
courage. They challenged McGra "
and his Giants TO meet them on their
own grounds and beat them at their
own game. to 2
There was history made in the final
struggle. In the hall Of baseball
fame that shall endure forever, hang
the names Of Doc Gosseler. who, with
the bases fun and one out, caught a
fly ball and went 10 the club house,
allowing three runs TO score There
are the names Of John Anderson and
Charles =. Van Loan. who stole sec
und with the bases filled and there is
the name Of dare devil Dave Altlzer
who held a fly ball while three run
ners scored. But never before has a
the home plate in a worlds series
In the fourth inning Of the COM
bat Heine Zimmerman did this
thing. He chased the first run Of
the game clear across the plate
without touching him and Il is
probable that had Eddie Collins
whom he was pursuing, kept on
running on out to right field,
Zimmerman would have followed
him and permitted two other nm
nerE who were on the bases 10
follow him across the plate.
Sim Pulled Big Bone.
Zimmerman's bone shall 90 down in
baseball history as one Of the classcis,
yet We pause TO ask why Rarlden,
the catcher, ran past the runner, why
HOlke the first baseman failed TO
cover the plate and why Benton stood
stock still and never reached the
plate. Zimmerman made the blunder,
in starting TO chase Collins, but he
might have been saved had any Of
the Giants been covering the plate.
As we remarked yesterday, the
game today was not one OF baseball,
but = test Of nerve and nerves The
nerve Of the White SOZ was proved
and tested and the nerves Of the
Giants already rasped 10 the raw,
broke and they lost exactly as the
dope indicated they would lose The
fact is the better team won
10 makes no LlLLeEGmEE now OF
why they won. They won because
they were the better team 80 that
all recrfmfnatiOns are vain. The
Giants gave them a fight, saved
the honor Of their league and
went down in defeat still fighting.
I think that in q regular season,
with the pitching stats Of both teams
in best form. the White SoL would
beat them five out Of every seven
games they played The White SoN
accepted a big handicap in this series.
Russell, the anchor pitcher Of the
star, was IN bad shape. which threw
the burden OF the series upon two
right handlers.
Giants Had Good stan.
New York had its special strength
IN left handed pitchers, and the
White Sox are supposed TO be weak
against that sort OF pitching, yet they
took up that handicap and won.
Rowland, the bush" manager OF the
White SoE. proved himself the equal
IN nerve at least TO the Napoleon
who seemed TO be afflicted with the
same trouble that knocked Nap out
ut Waterloo
Rowland had the nerve to go
through with his right handed
program. He met the Giants on
their own line of battle and
fought them to the finish. He
Stnked Faber in the final game,
knowing that fl FabeF lost, the
odds would favor the Giants
heavily. He did not figure Faber
to lose and the tall blonde boy
went through with tt pitched n
magnificent game OF ball and
won.
He was steady to the finish Had
Chicago lost II never would have
mentioned this fact. which IS a fact
This fact is that New York never
~r-nrrNd h1Ua unnwnH a had
been for the kindness Of one Bill
KEN, an umpire. It IS customary in
these affairs TO say that the umpiring
is perfect. ct is considered good form
and good craftsmanship to lie like
a gentleman about such things.
Yet Mr. Klein gave New York their
