Schnpp Redeems Himself.
Two new diamond heroes leaped to
pedestals of fame in the clash in
Coogan's bluff today, for Ferdinand
Schupp of Louisville, Ky, turned the
White Sox batters back without run;
and Benny Kauff Of Middleport, o.,
led the batting massacre with two
home runs.
The youthful left handler fully re-
deemed himself for the. vicious sally
of the Chicago club in the second
game on their home grounds when
the Comiskey park batters drove him
from the mound early in the series,
while Kauff, after thirteen hitless
trips to the plate, finally found his
batting eye and broke through Pitcher
Faber for a circuit drive which paved
the way for the Giants onslaught that
later was to demoralize the White
Sox. The effectiveness of Schupp's
hurting and Kauff's batting was suf-
ficient to defeat the American league
champions, but the thrill of victory
was contagious and their teammates
were only stride behind them in the
rush through the White Sox trenches
Kauff Ties World Series Record.
Only twice in the long history of
world series baseball contests has
Kauffs feat OF two home runs in one
game been duplicated. Before the
former batting leader of the Federal
league made his two circuit drives,
the honor was divided between Hairy
Hooper of the Boston Americans of
1916 and Outfielder Dougherty of the
same club in 1908. Hooper hammer
ed two home runs into the bleacbers
in the fifth game of the world series
Of two years ago against the Phila7
delphia Nationals, while in the ancient
days of the post-season play Dougher-
ty established the record with his1
twin drives against the Pittsburgh
Nationals of 1903.
In shutting out the Sox without a
run, following a similar feat by ltube |
Benton yesterday, Schupp obtained
for the Giant tea as a whole
double shutout which has been scored
few times since the beginning of the
century. In 1908 the Chicago
Nationals whitewashed the Detroit !
Americans twice in succession and in
1905 the Giants Of those days shut
out the Philadelphia Athletics four
times out of five. while the only VIC
tory of the Mackmen was also a shut
out by the Indian pitcher, "Chief"
Bender. Christy Mathewson, now
manager of the Cincinnati Nationals, |
and Iron Man" Joe McGinnity were
the New York twirlers who engineer
ed the auadruple whitewash of the
Athletics.
Fight Evenly for Three Innings.
There was nothing to forecast the |
developments of today's
game in the early innings. For three
sessions it was pitchers battle be-
tween Faber and schupp with little if
any advantage on either side. Kauff |
was the third man to face Faber in |
the Giants half Of the fourth, Burns
and Herzog having failed to make
first base. With two out and his |
record of not hit in the series in
thirteen times at bat a byword among
the fans, Kauff was desperate
With a ball and a strike called |
against him he saw perfect groove"
ball coming up from Faber's hand and |
taking a deep toe hold in, the batter's
box, he flung the full weight of his
body into the sweep. There was a !
terrific crack and the ball flew like a |
bullet over second base and far on
