Sox Beat Giants Again Before 15,000 Soldiers Of Rainbow Division Major League Champions React World’s Series on St. Paul School’s Field, Garden City, Chicago Winning, 6 to 4, New York Making Plenty of Errors, McMullin Chasing Germany Schaefer Over the Plate a la Zimmerman. HE White Sox and Giants re- acted the World Series at Gar- den City yesterday afternoon for 15,000 soldiers of the Rainbow Division from Camp Mills, It was a realistic duplication too, The Sox won, 6—4; the Giants made plenty of errors, and Germany Schaefer was even chased home in the ninth in- ;| ning tn imitation of Heine Zimme -| man's celebrated pursuit home of Eddte Collins. s| The game was played on the Bt. Paul School's fold. There were no stands, but standing six deep around the field were khak! fighters, gen- erals, colonels, nearly four regiments of officers and men, And how those soldiers rooted. The 165th Infantry, the old 69th, with Col, Hine at its 7 | head, were early on the job with sup- port for the Glants, The 149th Ilt- tl nol Field Artillery, commanded by Col. Riley, was equally strong for the champion White Sox, The rival root- S| ing of these two organisations foa- tured the game, and there was a lit- tle more swing to the Mlinols regi- ment during the parade back to camp. The extra meeting of the two con- tending World Berles teams was ar- rj ranged by the National Commission, 4‘! which previously planned to have a game played at one of the great camps, either at New York or Chi- cago, the matter of location to be de- cided by the final game of the series. So Camp Mills was awarded the prize 1s the last game was played here, And the boys of the Rainbow Divi- sion, who will soon be on thelr way to France, will frequently recall yes- “| terday'’s game when they take their places In the trenches, It was a little after 1 o'clock when Gen, Mann tossed out the first ball.

LAUREL RACE TRACK, M4, Oct. 17.—August Belmont’s Hourless worked @ sensational trial after the steeple- chase in spite of the fact that he also worked a mile and a quarter on Mon- day. Sam Hildreth, his trainer, must have felt that the son of Negofol needed one more fast work to tighten bim up for his spectal race with Wilfred Viau's Omar Khayyam at the track here to~ morrow. Hundreds In the stand expressed eur prise when Hourless came out on the | track after the chase with a heavy boy | up, who must have weighed fully 10 pounds, and they expressed even more urprise when they saw him go a mile and a furlong under a stout pull | through the stretch in 1.52 1-5, He covered the first quarter tn .93 2-6, was caught at the half in .47 flat, reached the six furlong pole in 1.12 2-5 and was clocked at the mile in 138 2-6. Hildreth was waving to the boy to ease up all through the last furlong, but Hourless was on the bit and full of run, and, while hard held, finished out the mile and @ furlong in 1-6 ‘This brilliant work earned Hourless « lot of new friends, and he will not Inck for followers when he faces Omar Khayyam at a mile and @ quarter on ‘Thursday. Indications now point to good weather and @ fast track for the big race, and the biggest crowd in the history of the sport in Maryland is almost sure to jam its way inside the gates. RF. Carman, who trains Omar Khayyam for Wilfred Viau, was highly Interested in the fast work by Hourless, but lost none of the confidence he has in bis own horse. He t# firmly con- vineed that Omar Khayyam will win, ‘and by a much wider margin then the Lawrence Realisation Stakes Belmont Park. Further than that, he was so much impressed with Westy Hogan's race when he picked up 128 pounds end won the Georgetown Handicap at six furlongs {n the fast time of 1.12, that he expressed @ willingness to send bim ainst Hourless at the sprinting dia- tance if Sam Hildreth felt inclined, Westy Hogan won, cased up, by two lengths from such good sprinters as Leochares, Bringhuret and Jullaleon, mong others, and equalled the track record for the distance. ‘Al Davis's Raceprook won the sti Farewell Box Score 2s 3 loscsonsucHsonecnon socssson nonce cums lesesooscHonnwonwe eloscsescssosescsccon eee . 6 rang batted for inning.
