New York, Oct 11.-Swinging their ] war clubs like the cave men of old i the New York Nationals battered their way to victory over the Chicago Americans here today by a score of l 5 to O. As a reslt cs ti, sec nd de- feat of the White SoX in two days, | the Giants are travelling westward Of even terms with their rivals in the struggle for the world series victory. The outcome of the battle for per | mier baseball honors is in as much doubt as before the series began in 1 5Chicago last Saturday. Each team now has won contests and the indi- cations point to full seven games.
 The victory of the Giants in the fourth game was the most impressive . of the struggle to date. for the Ma tional league excelled in both pitcl- ] ing and with the bat. While the Chi ] cago combination thl satened several times, they never got runner beyond third base and the American league l team left for the snore of Lake Michi- gan without scratching the Polo home plate in IS innings. Two diamcnd lie l roes leaped to the pedestal of fame in l the clash today for Ferdinand Scaupp | of Louisville, Ky, turned the White |SoX batters back without a run and Freddie Kauff of 'Middleport, Ohio, 1 led the batting massacre with two home runs. The youthful left-hander fully recouping himself for the second game at Chicago when the Chicago batters drove him from the mound early in the contest.
 The effectiveness of Schupp's hurl- ing and Kauff's batting was sufficient to defeat the American league cham pions, but the thrill of victory was contagious and their teammates were only a stride behind them in the rush through the White Sox pitchers.
 Only twice in the long history Of worlds series baseball was Kauff's feat of two home runs in one game duplicated. Before the former batting leader of the Federal league made his two home runs, 'atting hoacrs were divided between Harry Hooper of the Boston Americans in 1915 and Out fielder Daugherty of the same club in 1905
 Giants Bought Their Bands.
 There was nothing to forecast the sensational developments of today's game in the early innings. for three sessions it was a pitchers battle be- tween Faber and Schupp, with little advantage on either side.
 Kauff was the third man to face Faber in the fourth. Burns and Her zog having failed to make first With a foul and strike called against him, Kauff found 3 parfec. groove haH coming up and slammed witE the full weight of his body into the sweep ot the bat. There was a terrific crash and the ball flew like a bullet over second and far onward into center field. Outfielder Felsch, the man who made the tremendous circuit drive off Sallee in the opening game of the series at Chicago sprinted for the center field bleacher fence. The ball passed over his head and fell among the folds of canvass which, before it was dropped for the beginning or the game bore this legend:
 ''The Giants have bought their Lib erty bonds, have you?'
 Felsch in his eagerness, fumbled the ball as he tried to pick it up and the Giants runner was scratching the plate as the sphere was finally return ed to infield Teammates and fans gave him an enthusiastic greeting.
