On the contrary, the severe beating ad- ministered to the Giants by the Com- iskey clan had a dampening effect on the ardor of the supporters of the Polo Grounds athletes.

But the Glants aid little except lose decisively and the thirty-third degree fans gloomily dispersed. Many who had wagered heavily on the Giants industriously sought to lay off their money at a sacrifie, and some of the true blue rooters ac-: commodated the timid chaps.

Chicago, Oct. 8.—Clarence Rowland, manager of the White Sox today wearing a bandage on his right hand on account of a burn which he suf- fered at the ball park during the ex- citement of the game yesterday, when he was preparing to leave for New York. The victorious manager in turning on the hot shower at the club house thrust his hand into escaping steam and it was so badly burned that it had to be bound up in oil. Just before departing for New York Rowland said he would start Russell, Danforth or Cicotte against Glants at the Polo Grounds in third’game of the series tomorrow.

Ithaca, Oct. 8.—Ivan C. Dresser, of Ithaca, who finished fifth in the intercollegiate 'cross-country race last fall, the second man to cross the line for the Cornell champions, has been selected to lead the Red and White harriers this season in place of Cap- tain Ezra Wenz, of New York city, elected captain last fall, but who has since entered the aviation service and wil not return to college. Dresser is under draft age. He is a junior. Yost, the only other 'cross- country runner of the Carnell team last year who is back in college, has reported for practice, 5 WHITE SOX DWNER PROUD OF TEAM | Gomiskey Expects Ghampionéhip 40; Beth- \ for Chicago—So Does Rowland Chicago, Oct. 8.—Charles A Com- iskey, president of the Chicago club was proud and happy as a result of the second victory over New York yesterday. Both he and Rowland expressed the belief last night that the White Sox would now surely win the cham- pionship of the world. The Old Ro- man of baseball said: “I never felt happier in my life than I did in that fourth inning when the boys went out and knocked in those five runs. “That clinched the game for us and | I feel it just as gaod as clinched the world’s championship. The Sox proved their metal in that attack and it seems now that nothing can beat us. “I was proud of the Sox because they came from behind in the game when they almost went to pleces. They picked up the game though just as champions should, and now we have the battle half won and Me- Graw’s team is in a tough place. “It was a spectacular game to look at, much liveller than on the opening day, and I guess all those present felt they got their money’s worth. “The Giants looked like winners at the start of the second inning and produced a couple of runs in such high spirited style that for the mo- ment it looked bad. That assault would have taken the heart aut of many a ball team, but it just seemed to stir up the fighting blood of the Sox. “We are going down to New York now to show Broadway just how we licked the Glants in the first two games, and if we show them the fight will be all over Wednesday night, pra- vided the weatehr doesn’t interfers.” Rowland said: “I am afraid to say for publication just how I feel about the series. feel absolute confidence in the final result, and I really am hoping to take four straight. “This team is the greatest short series team in the world, and I think, the greatest of all time. The boys dis- played the punch in this game and made an easy victory out of what started to be a tough uphill fight. “Faber pitched a swell game, but not nearly so good as he is capable of However, he never felt any fear after the boys tled it up for him in the second. Joe Jackson certainly got into his hitting stride, and they’ll never stop him now.” MATTY’S MEN WIN AGAIN. Take Second Game From Cleveland in Ohio Series.

(New York Tbeml BENJAMI& A BLOOMER Plainville Whirlwind Is As Gentle as 2 June Zephyr and Proves Easy for | Ventres. A seven minute skit, entitled “The Fall of Benjamin” was staged Satur- day at Turner hall, when Alva Ventres of Berlin made short work of F. Iven “Kid” Benjamin, the “French Whirl- wind,” etc., etc., in what was supposed to be the star match in the much ad- vertised wrestling bout. The boy from Plainville with the well regulated rules governing training, hours for sleep, leisure, eating, etc., was but a toy in the hands of the Berlin black- smith who did not even get good training for coming to this city. The match was one of the most one-sided affairs ever held in this city. Garbed in a bath robe and giving every ap- pearance of being a wrestler, Ben- jamin spent some time in the ring Waiting for his “opponent” to make an appearance, so he could at him, and whether he got chilled in the body or in the feet during this wait, was not ascertained, but when the reteree gave the word to start, the finish of Benjamin was in sight in less time than it takes to tell it. Ventres pitted the Plainville boy’s shoulders to the mat with an arm hold and body scissors in 2:10, and repeated the dose just 6 minutes later (although he could have done it much quicker it is believed) with a crotch and arm hold. The friends of Ventres were jubilant over the result. Ventres towered over his ‘“adversary” in every respect. In the preliminaries ‘“Pat” Mec- Carthy of New Haven and Charles Chowte of Hartford, put up an inter- esting battle for one-half hour, re- sulting in a draw. Alex George of Bristol and Clarence Burnham of New Haven also wrestled to a draw in the same length of time, with Burnham being on the aggressive most of the time. Referee Willis handled the bouts in fine style. K. OF C. TEAM WINS. Louisville Sluggers) Pound Way to Victory Over Oleveland Champions. Louisville, Oct. 8.—The Knights of Columbus team, amateur baseball champlions of Louisville, defeated the champion Kleisch team of Cleveland 6 to 5 here yesterday in the second game of a series to decide the cham- pionship of the American Baseball Federation. This gave one game to each team, and an attempt was made to play off the third game necessary to declde the series.

Chicago, Oct. 8.—During the Satur- day and SBunday games of the ‘world's geries the trafic department of The Associated Press duplicated its feat of last year In setting up the longest continuous telegraphic circult ever operated for any other than experi- mental purposes. Approximately 600 daily newspapers which take the leased Wwire service were connected direct with White Sox park and Hap Felsch’s home run on Saturady was being cheered and Faber’'s attempted steal of an o0o- cupied base was being jeered by mil- lions of fans throughout the country before the former’s hit had landed in the bleachers or the crest-fallen pitcher had realized his mistake. Altogether about 28,000 miles of wire constituted the circuit, which extended from Bangor, Me, to San Diega, Cal.,, and from Galveston, Tex., to Duluth, Minn. In addition to the mnewspapers served the lengthy baseball wire was extended to several army cantonments, where it was manned by former operators 'of The Assoclated Press who are in the national service. Thus the men of the National Guard units and the new National Army received their baseball returns “straight from th~ front.” ST, (ITY LEAGUE TEAWS CLOSELY BUNCHED |8ix Quintets Within Hailing Dis- | tance of Each Other The third week of the City league finds six teams closely bunched for honors, with the Live Oaks setting the pace at present. However, the mar- gin of advantage is very slight, and the champions of last season are be- ing forced to top speed to hold on to the lead. The Harpoons, Colonials, Mohawks and Areos are battling neck and neck, and the games this week will bring about some important changes in the league standings. Six bowlers have attained an average of three figures and over so far, with Rogers leading with 104, but he owns the alleys. Lofgren and Bertini are next In order with 102 each. Foote and Hines are tied with 101 and Brennecke completes the list of those in the charmed circle with 100. “Yen" Anderson is leading for high single with 131 and Lofgren for high three- string score with 347. The Colonials are out in front for high team score for the singles, with 512 and the War- riors have amassed a total pinfall of 1,461 in three games.

But the crowd’s elation was sho lived, for the Sox drove the mighty Schupp off the mound in the secon half of the inning and tied the sco: before the inning ended.
