THE WORLD SERIES.
CHICAGO WHITE SOX TAKE TWO
STRAIGHT FROM GIANTS.
American Lcagucrs OutpJay National

Attendance.

Chicago, Oct Eddie Cicotto,
pitcher extraordinary, Of Chicago
Americans, piloted his team to victory
today over the New York Nationals.
by score of to /, in the first game
Of 1917 world series played at Comis-
key Park. At the wheel of the White
Sox machine he was the master of
the Giants at every stage of the con-
test. which thrilled $4,000 followers
of the local American League cham
pions and sent them away from Co
mskey Park convinced that after sew
eral years of waiting the highest
titular honors of the baseball field
were to fall to Chicago.
Cicotte was ably assisted by the
White SoX machine, which played al
most faultless baseball against the
determined stand Of the National
League standard bearers who would
not admit defeat until the final catch
of Robertson's fly by John Collins end
ed the contest. Cicottes team mates
played with certainty Of victory ana
the commission proved too much for
the vaunted power of the Giants.
An even $4,000 spectators paid ad-
mission to the field of the club with
q result that $73,152 was divided
among the players, clubs and the ma
tiOnal commission. OF this amount tn"
players received $39, 9,5O2.OS and each
of the clubs $13,1G736, and the ma
tional commission, $7,315.2O.
There was not n vacant seat in the
base amphitheater when the players
took the field, and hundreds of disap-
pointed fans thronged the streets
unable to- penetrate the police lines.
Every point Of vantage which i'm any
way overlooked the diamond was oc-
cupied by men and boys long before
the game began.

CHICAGO AGAIN DOWNS NEW
YORK, Z to y.

In Only One Inning Of Contest Did
Ginats Look Like Real Contend
crs.
Chicago, Oct. THE Chicago
bounded half way to victory in the
worlds series clash with the New
York Nationals today when the White
SoX DEBATED the Giants, to 2, in the
second game of the titular struggle
The teams are speeding Eastward to-
night for the Polo Grounds where
on Tuesday the series will be resum-
ed. and if the local team continues to
play the type Of game it has displayed
here, supporters of the Comisky clan
are convinced that the SoX should at
least break even with the Giants in the
next two contests at New York.
The White Sox rolled over the
Giants today like u baseball jugger-
naut, leaving disaster and dismay i'm
tneir wake. The second victory i'm two
days was far more impressive than
the win of yesterday, and when the
teams left the field the Chicago Club
was surcharged with confidence. while
the New York combination was bad
ly shattered, both physically and in
morale.
The National League champions
were obliged to use no fewer than
four pitchers this afternoon and at
the close Of the second day of play
the White SoX had sampled, with sat
isfactory results from their standpoint
the service of five of the seven huri-
ers who form the twirling corps of
the GiOnts. Only Benton and De-
moree remain unscored and it would
be problem for Manager McGraw
Chicago batters in check even on the
home diamond.
Both at bat and in the field, the
White SoX maintained the impressive
advantage which they showed in the
opening game. The offensive and de-
fcnsive methods and play of the
American League stadnard bearers
was far superior to that shown by the
New York Club and in no depart
ment of the national sport did the
! Giants appear to have the edge on
their western rivals. Some idea OF this
superiority is gained from a compari-
son of the figures of the two games to
date.
The White SoX have scored nine
runs TO three for the Giants; II hits
to IA; and these hits have netted the
locals 26 bases TO II for the Giants
while in stolen bases the SoX lead,
to 1.
