NEW YORK. Oct. 9.
rpiIE yhJte Sox baseball team accompanied by tho nctlvo members of tho Loyal
Order of Deans, are hero for the third gamo of the world's scries at tho Polo
Grounds tomorrow afternoon. The actlvo members of the Qlants club also aro here,
but they are not considered Important at this writing. They aro not expected to
, do anything bui furnish tho other part of the matinee and hold tho spears in the
back row while tho Chicago stars hog tho calcium near tho footlights. In other
"words, the M-Graw troupe of trained athletes will be used only as scenery and add
local color to the coming attraction. They are supposed to feel unnecessary during
tho show.
The Chicago players, who arrived here last night on the special train with tho
bodyguard of Deans, fsel uncomfortable with thoso two perfectly good world's
series games utnkr their belts. Tho Deans also aro uncomfortable, for tho Loyal
Oi'der always echoes tho-sentlment of Us companions. This now organization, by
the way, was organized on tho t aln by the laboring scribes now tolling on tho
annual autumn allllctlon. They were forced to organize In tclf-efenso becauso nt
this season of the yea!- every writer covering the world's series is referred to as tho
"dean of basebal! writers" ".:d it Is the object of tho organization to perpetuate, tho
name. Dean Klftg -Larlncr, assisted by Deans Charley Dryden und Jimmy
Isamlnger, called the Ilrst meeting at sunrlso yesterday, and it was well attended
because the numbers like to gather und tulle things over before retiring. It was
moved, seconded -d unan.mously udoptcd that tho members of tho Whlto Sox
team who wcro on the train bo entertained at all '.lines and 7uostlo-.od about their
future actions -whenever they seemed lonesome. The only dissenting votes wcro
cast by the players.
rpHE Deans started work late In the, afternoon and their work was so
successful that the players suggested that a branch bo established In
Australia and all of the active members co thero at once. The questions
and answers brought out the enlightening Information that a gamo would
bo played today If rain didn't Interfere and that tho Chicago club expected
to take four games straight.
How Joe Jackson Lost a Breakfast
tTTE had an opportunity to study the White Sox champions nt close range yes.
' terday wh..o the special train was speeding through tho moist and murky
New York State. One of the compartments in our car was occupied by Chick
Gandtt.and Joe Jackson, and it was noted that tho pair of sluggers was extremely
nervous over the coming ordeal on the l'olo Grounds and found It impossible to
sleep. Gandll hud to get up nt noon, and Joo Juckson gave It up as a bad Job
and emtrged one hour later. The other members of the team straggled Into tho
dining car as early as 1 p. m., and couldn't do anything but devour everything In
tho kitchen. And this introduces a harrowing talo In which Joo Jackson was
deprived of a well-cooked breakfast.
Joe feared tho worst, so when ho arose ho rang for a waiter and ordered largo ,
quantities of food to be served immediately. Tho waiter ransacked tho kitchen
and appeared in in the car one hour later with a heavily laden tray. In the mean
time, Jackson was suffering In silence in his drawing room. He spied tho load" of
food and made" ready to recclvo It, but hard luck was In store for him.
Seated In he middle of tho car wcro five travelers deeply engrossed in Mr.
Hoyle's version of the great American drawing game. Bobby Gunnls, tho .well
known matchmaker and manager of boxers, was the most obvious and apparent
member of the party, und was assisted by Billy Brady, of Germantown; Frank
Mackin, another local celebrity; Dean Gantz and a couplo of other Deans. A hand
had Just been dealt when the waiter appeared at tho other end of the car and
Gunnls, after looking at tho pasteboatds, uttered a piercing yell, Jumped to his
feet and shouted:
"Stop th" game Just a minute, 1 gotta show this to Emery."
Before any one could vote on the question BobbV dashed down tho aisle In the
direction of the other stateroom, his head down and tho live cards tightly clutched
In his Jiand. He did not see tho waiter, but a llttlo thing like that didn't matter.
Had a stone wall or a freight train been in tin way they would have suffered
the same fate. Striking tho food-bearer amidships, Bobby kept on going, whllo ham
and eggs, accompanied by hot cakes, coffee and other viands, were uhowered all
over the car. When the waiter emerged from tho wreck Jackson was standing be
side him looking sadly at the remains of a once healthy meal. Gunnls was excited
ly showing his cares to Emery Titman and tho other players waited for tho light to
begin. There was no trouble, however, for Joe, when ho learned the cause of tho
excitement, felt lucky that the car wasn't demolished and pushed off tho track.
....
BOBBY had drawn a royal flush and kept his secret so well that only
the other players and every one elso on the train except the engineer
knew about It. He would have dashed through the eight other coaches,
had It not been for Titman, who was wedged in tho far end of the aisle. It
Was a narrow escape for every one but Joe Jackson.
Poker and Baseball Go in Pairs
IN ANOTHER car. four of the ball players were engaged In the same form of
sport while a' few of the Deans acted as an honorary audience. Buck Weaver
' and Ked Faber locked hor.ns In a big pot and finally Weaver called.
"What have you got?'" he asked Faber.
"Three kings," replied Red.
"I got three fives, but I should worry
"Take the pot, became I should worry
aerleS split this year."
W3AVER is no more confident than the 6ther members of tho team and they ex
pect to gePthrough tho series without a defeat. They havo defeated tho Giants
twlco and hammered all of their best pitchers all over the south sldo of Chicago.
Bailee, Schupp, Anderson, Perrltt and Tesreau havo been walloped and they figure
that the worst Is over. Rube Benton and Al Demareo are tho only hurlers left and
they aro not taken seriously. The boys havo a perfect right to feel that they are
the better ball club, for there was no comparison In the gamo Sunday. McGraw's
style of p'.ay Is Inferior to that of Rowland, and tho hitting of the American
League champions Is more timely and numerous than that of Now York.
...
Tomorrow's game, If played after today's postponement, should go to the
White Sox, but you never can tell what will happen. Benny Kauff
and Heinle the Zlm may recover their swatting eyes and help the team win
at least one victory In the se:Ies.
Sox Figure Schupp Is Through
FREDDIE SCHUPP Is through. According to the conversation spilled on tho
special train yesterday tho youngster was so nervous when he faced the Sox
that his lips were blue and twitching. He was pale and very nervous and could
jiot have beaten a minor league club. In tho first Inning the first three Chicago
players looked him over, two being called out on strikes and the other hitting
a weak Infield grounder. That was a nice piece of work, for they discovered what
: he had and In tho next frame, drove him out of tho game. When Schupp left
- .the nerve of the Giants went with him. They played mechanical ball and looked
aid If they had lain down on the Job. It also is said that llerzoe. Finth .
.-VLSlmmerman were fighting among themselves throughout the game, and this
t affected the play of the other men. The old feud apparently has broken out again

EXPERTS, REAL, NEAR AND
HUMOROUS, TELL US WHY SOX
AND GIANTS CANT LOSE SERIES
Clarence Rowland Makes the Unkindest Stab of
All "When He Says Giants Gan't Beat
Pitcher "WTio Has Brains
WHKN a day Is black overhead and wet
underfoot it Is a good tlmo to sit down
calmly and seo what the real and nearly
real experts have to say about tho world's
series. It Is rather hard to get an Im
partial view of the affair. You cannot ex
pect McQrntv to como out and say that tfco
Whlto Sox are going to win, even If "ho
feels that way. nor can jou see Clatence
Rowland express the view that while tlio
Sox are good tho Giants aro Incompara
bly better. Humorists Hko Irvln Cobb
and Itlng'Lardner refuse to treat the af
fair seriously, so what aro jou going to do
about It? The New York newspaper men
who wrlto baseball naturally aro rooting
for tho home toun, while the Chicago
scribes are sticking up for the place where
tho wind blows hard and strong.
Presenting Iting Lardncr
We might us well start tho day with a
smile, fo King Lardner will be the first to
cheer you up Ho Is still writing In hog
French, or whatever you may call It, and
he opens his story In this fashion:
"Jc camo Cast today avoc les Bas Blanc
et wo had un remarkable trip. You know
thero Is a difference between the Whlto Sox
et les Giants. The ball players on the for
mer don't tpe.ik to the icportcrs, but the
manager Is friendly. On the Giants' team
le manager don't speak to the reporters, but
the ball players are cordial."
And later on he says, after running out
of simple French nouns and verbs:
"After breakfast we ran Into tho guy
that mado the speech at tho Sox ball park
opening day. He was setting beside Irvln
Cobb. He was showing Mr. Cobb a story I
wrote about yesterday's game.
"Pretty good," said this boob, showing a
ray of Intelligence.
"Good !" Bald Mr. Cobb, looking at the
author's name. "Why, nothing he writes
Is good. If you knew the felU himself
you would never say his stuff was good.
He Is the chestiest, most upstage guy you
ever saw."
"And this kept up until Mr. Cobb had
convinced this guy that my stuff was no
good, which, of course, Is rldlnulous,"
Irvln Cobb can be very serious wnen no
wants fo. as witness his "Beelled Buzzard."
That may not be the name, but It was a
wonderful bit of fiction. But wo like him
best as a humorist and any one can find a
lot of humor In baseball and tho men who
manage and play it If he looks long enough.
Ho opens up his batteries by stating that
the newtpaper men left an hour and a half
behind the funeral train bearing the Giants,
and ths chief mourners and the members of
the families of the bereft and the honorary
pallbearers.
Zim Popular as a Pcsthouse
Cobb says that Heinle Zimmerman will
not be disappointed If there are no more
games In Chicago, for out there, he Bays, he
Is as popular as a pesthouse and nearly
as lonely as one. except when he Is playing.
He says some of the ball players wear
trousers which are too long In the legs to
be short trousers and too short In the legs
to bo short trousers. Ho declares that
Kauff Is so popular with the players that
every time he went to bat they referred to
him as tho bad hacking Knun.
Hugh Fullerton Is tho only writer who
likes to be known as a baseball statistician,
an awful ambition, but it pays to bo a little
different from bomo one elso nnd It gives
you a repuUtlon, particularly If every now
and then you predict rightly. Ho has not
tho advantage of tho professional tipster,
who tips on every horse In the race and Is
bound to deliver tho goods to somo one, for
he has only one chanco at It ; but that makes
the sport even moro exciting.
Ho opens up his statistical guns by dis
cussing tho psychological effect of the
crowd. Psychology Is great stuff and Its
use Is not confined to baseball writers. The
men who wrlto about golf and murder trials
and Other pleasant things use It ad lib. He
believes, as does every one else, that Clcotte
will pitch today, weather permitting, nnd
that he will hold tho Giants, or tho Pygmies,
or whatever you may call them, to ono or
two scores, nnd Viit you wager on that
basis. (Results not guaranteed.) He adds
that If yo can pick the Giant pitcher that
will hold tlio Sox to fewof than that number
of runs you can get fle Iron men for your
thrco cartwheels.
Our own Lansdowno TMdle Collins says
that tho White Sox would like to end tho
agony by winning four straight, but even
If the Giants should win a game or two
there Is no doubt about the finish. Some
thing like that flour ad "Hventually, why
not now?"
Alibi Performers Still at It
We now pacs on to the next cage, where
we will find those who believe In alibis, and
who does not, borne time or c-ther? Here Is
McGraw. Muggsy opens up with that old
familiar sentence that has como down from
time Immemorial and which was originally
copyrighted by Caesar, "We aro not beaten
yet." There seems no doubt about that,
for we are told that It Is necessary to win
four games to win the series. He makes
the remark which Is by no mean3 cryptic
that If the Giants will only hit Bafely and
consecutively they cannot be stopped. And
he closes his remarks by adding that the
series Is not over by any means, which will
be welcome news to those who have bought
tickets for tho remaining games.
Ban Johnson sizes up the bltuatlon by
saying that It Is fairly obvious that so far
the better team has won, and, winning, has
secured the majority of breaks, and that It
Is an unwritten law that this Is always tho
case tn baseball .
John K. Tener says at no time this year
have the Giants lost three games In a row,
and he Is banking on them evening up the
series In New York.
Charles A. Comlskey opines It Is fairly
certain that the Sox will win four straight
victories.
Clarence Rowland declares It Is apparent
that tho Giants cannot beat a pitcher who
has brains, which Is one of the unkindest
remarks of the series.
TWO PITCHERS ARE
ENOUGH, SAYS TAD
That Is What Rowland Told
Him, and Men Are Ci-
cotte and Faber
TITMAN CLEANS UP
By TAD
NKW YORK, Oct. 9.
"Clcotto will pitch tho opener In New
York and I'll follow up with Red Faber,"
said Clarence Rowland, the snappy manager
of tho Sox, last night. "Two pitchers Is all
that I Intend to use."
Tho Sox were given a wonderful reception
nt the Grand Central Station last night upon
their arrival. A big brass band met them,
and after parading about tlio btatlon they
blew Into tho Blltmore. where many of them
will stay until tho scries Is over.
The Woodland Bards, a Chicago bunch,
composed of Sox rooters, came to town on a
special train that they hired,
Joo Jackson Is the mobt surprised player.
In the world. Ho thought the Giants were
a tough bunch, but after Sunday's game he
figures them about as tough as Brooklyn
was for tho Red Sox. I
Human Pej-Mone, who came from Hous
ton, Tex., to see the series, bet fifty bucks
against S00 washers that J'clsch gets an
other homer.
If Felsch's homer had been made at the
Polo Grounds, tho ball would have landed
In tho left-field bleachers, between Burns
and Kauff. Some slam, wasn't It?
Johnny Kvers rode In with the Sox from
Chicago. John nays that the Hox nre ai
brnlny a bunch he has urea on the dia
mond In many a year.
Kauff's weakness at the bat has lost many
a bet for his admirers. He was picked to
beat Felsch,.Jackson and John Collins. So
far, he hasn't hit even a healthy foul.
Zimmerman has hit only one ball out of
the infield. That was a sweet little fly to
center.
The fan who caught Felsch's home run In
the bleachers has had the whole White Sox
team autograph It and will now sell It for
tho benefit of the Red Cross.
Olant fans are sore at Med raw for the
way he hai given the Sox a look at Ills
whole staff now and has no surprises left.
The Sox feared Perrltt more than any
pitcher on the Giant staff, but now that they
have had a look at htm all fear Is gone.
The Chicago fans gave Kauff a merry
time while he is in center. They yell, "Uty,
Benny, 1 hear that yer got fifteen suits of
clothes and that you change 'em every
hour. Change your bats and maybe you'll
knock a foul."
i
Kmery Titman, of Phllly, will be a mil
lionaire five times over If the Sox win two
more. He has cleaned up a pile as high as
a telegraph polo already.

Then, again, thero are scattered moments In this temporary existence when
a violent shock can accomplish wonders. So It may como to pass that the un

Giants Due to Rebound
TTNLE3S tho Gla'its arc disheartened and dlsmr.ycd by that Sunday overthrow
'-' they atlll have sufficient ammunition to carry tho war to a close decisional
xncy were on tlio cugo of a sharp drop live years ago. in tlio 1312 scries with th
itcd Box out of tho first flvo games played tho Giants had gathered in but one
Tho count then was 3 to 1 against them, with ono tlo. Yet the New York deles
lion camo witnin ono fly ball of nn elgnt-gamo cnampionsnip.
Tho Whlto Sox havo Clcotto left, but' tho lied Sox had Joo Wood, who hid
stopped tho Giants abruptly in his first two starts. Thero is no questioning thi
verdict up to date. Tho box score Is eloquent testimony for Chicago. The White'
Sor played a jubilee. They outclassed their eastern rivals all eleven ways. But
tho Giants dropped so far Sunday they aro now duo for a rebound, unless, as
announced before, they havo decided to drift gently. Into tho losers' end and let It
go at that.
Still Have the Punch
SO far the Giants havo never been that typo of a club. They have had their
faults, but lack of gameness and aggression was not down on tho list, Thej
still havo tho punch concealed upon their persons, and they atlll havo the pitch
ing to draw 'ipon, provided they can swing back together and dash blithely Into
tho thick of firing with their heads up and their eyes open to tho main chance.
Take tho caso of Ferdinand Schupp. Onco In a whllo Schupp has a very bad
Inning, but In tho main ho Is a high-class lefthander, with a winning repertorj
and plenty of nerve. He had one of his worst Innings of tho year on Sunday, but
If McGraw decides to shoot him back tomorrow ho will almost certainly be a hard
young man to overthrow, und if Schupp Isn't ready, there Is still Hubs IJcnton, and
thero Is Slim" hallec.
Kauff Was Overanxious
HERE Is another detail to tho advanco in behalf of tho winning Giant cause,
Two of McGraw's strongest men upon attack all year havo been Heinle
Zimmerman and Benny Kauff. Helnlo wan under the Undent and depressing
spell of tho South Sldo in Chicago, while Kauff was overanxious for an early
display of his wares. Zimmerman, wafted away from South Sldo hoodoo, should
