night and were lined up by thousands at the gates when the
portals were opened early in the forenoon. By noone the last
of the regular seats and other space were filled and th doors
closed. -After that hour the only persons to enter the park were
tne fortunate holders of reserved seat coupons.
The scenes among the fans were muc hthe same as i nail
recent series. Flags were used for decorative purposes
throughout the park and there were the usual hands, singing
and photographing, and movie camera operators who snapped
and cranked their machines before and during the game.
Atouch of color foreign to past series was furnished. how
ever, by the presence in a body of more than 1,500 members of
the officers reserve training corps from Fort Sheridan
Grouped back of first base their khaki uniforms and sunburned
faces supplied a back ground which contrasted sharply with
the remainder of the civilian gathering.
Few Women in Stands. .
w One of the oddities of the scene from the standpoint of the
spectators was the comparatively few women among all the
thousands who witnessed the play.' The percentage of females
could not have been more htan one to 100. There was also a
notable absence of the continuous cheering. There were
tremendous outbursts of applause and encouragement at criti
cal periods of the play or when startling catches or hits were
made, but on the whole the tenseness of the struggle appeared
to grip the fans so strongly that they were unable to give vent
to their emotions in the usual manner.
i; The game was replete with, startling catches, double plays
V&ng hits and the breaks, which mark the line dividing victory
and defeat. In the enthusiasm of the occasion even the weather
man relented and at the last moment furnished a : perfect
weather settincr for the diamond battle. The blue sky was
flecked with a film of clouds and the stiff south wind failed to
interfere with their work, due to the protection of the towering
stands. Under foot the field, although a trifle soft from the
rain of Friday was through and there was not a miscue which
could be attributed to poor fielding conditions.
White Sox Superior.
While the box score showed little' advantage one way or
the other between the two teams, the fact remains, that the
White Sox for the day, at least, showed a faster and better ma
chine than the Giants. Both the infield and the outfield worked
with perfect judgment and harmony, and the players col
lectively and individually co-operated to a higher degree than
was the case with the National league combination. The men
of Rowland, with Cicotte on the mound, apepared to have a
psychological edge on the Giants, and even in the most uncer
tain moments of the contest played with a dash and vim, which
' was an outstanding feature of their work. i .
The ywere the first to score, gathering m their-initial run
In the third when after Schalk had been retired at first by Zim
merman, Cicotte singled through second. , .- c .
John Collins followed with another to, right, and, Cicotte
was thrown out at third by Robertson, while CoMs took on
the throw across the diamond. From the midway satk, he was
able to score easily when McMullen doubled over second. The
second and deciding run of the contest was a'hojne run drive of
remarkable power by Felsch, in the fourth, when the Sox center
fielder caught one of Sallee's sweeping curves on the end of his
bat and sent the ball soaring more than 400 feet into the left
Kenter bleachers. It is doubtful If a lustier home run blow has
ever been delivered in a world's series.
The Giant's lone tally came in the following inning when
Catcher McCarty hammered out a three-base hit, between
FelSCh and J. UOHins, wnicn nnsiib "c suuc "
also, had the Giants' backstop been able to run faster. Recently
recovered from a broken leg, however, the best McCarty could
do was reach third from which point he scored easily on Sallee s
sinrie There were several otner umes wuvu wie

them back. The outstanding example of these wonderful de
fensive plays was a shoe-string catch by Jackson, in the seventh
inningf when he swept in on the run. and caught McCarty s
drive just off the grass and finished with a somersault, coming

WHY THE UMPIRE
EARNSHIS WAGE
Here's an Instance Proving
That League Umpires Are
Far From Overpaid
Officials.
Silver King Sullivan, so-called be
cause of his snow white hair, used to
be an umpire, and before he laid
aside the mask and protector he went
through a good many thrilling expe
riences. One day in Toronto Sullivan
had an experience which he says he
will never forget. Let him tell it: .
' "It was a hot series between the
Toronto and Baltimore clubs." says
Sully, 4,and there was a big crowd out
The fans overflowed the stands and
there were carnages and auto in the
outfield. In the ninth inning Toronto
was behind but made a strong rally
and it looked as though the tide was
going to turn.

the plate,

ROURKE ROOKIES
DELIVER GOODS
IN BIG LEAGUES
Smith Outhits All Browns Ex
cept George Sisler, While
Kilduff Leads Shortstops
Except Hornsby.
Earl Smith and Peterkin Kilduff,
Rourke rookies who went up to the
big show this year, have won their
spurs as major league athletes.
Of the two, Smith's record is the
more brilliant. George Sisler who
ranks as one of the half a dozen
greatest stars in the game, was the
only regular on the St Louis Ameri
can team who surpassed Smith in
batting.
Smith, in fifty-two games, cracked
the pill for a final average of .281.
He faced the pitcher 199 legal times,
made fifty-six hits and scored thirty
one runs. His fifty-six hits he
stretched into seventy-eight total
bases with the aid of eight doubles
and seven triples. He also made nine
sacrifice hits and swiped five bases.
Hamilton, a pitcher, and Gerber
and Dcntmitt, rookies who came to
St. Louis late in the year when the
pitching had eased up and only
played in a dozen games, made slight
ly better marks than Smith, but the
Omaha rookie beat out all the Brown
regulars except Sisler.
St. Louis critics expect Smith to
be the Brown's best bet in the out
field next year and one of the stars
of the league.
Kilduff Makes Good.
Peterkin Kilduff also marked up
something of a record for himself,
His fielding was the sensation of the
league toward the end of the year
and he outhit every shortstop in the
National loop except Rogers Horns
by. Peterkin made a record of .264
at the bat. He played in eighty
eight games, faced the pitcher 28
tunes, scored thirty-two runs and
made seventy-three safe hits. His
total bases were ninety-eight with
tewlve doubles, five triples and one
home run, the latter made off the
great Grover Alexander. Peterkin
made ten sacrifice hits and stole thir
teen bases.
Kilduff even outhit Artie Fletcher,
the Giants' star and Chicago experts
declare they would rather have
Kilduff than Artie.
Ernie Krueger, third Rourke to go
up, didn't do so well at the bat al
though he was the hardest slugger of
the trio in Omaha. His record was
only .221 in thirty-seven games.
By FRED S. HUNTER.
Opportunity only presents itself once in a life-time, it is
aid. Nebraska's stalwart Cornhuskers have their opportunity
this fall.
It is some opportunity, too. It is nothing less than an op
portunity to win the foot ball championship of the Missouri Val
ley, the west and the United States.
0 Eliminating the game yesterday
with Nebraska Wesleyan as merely a
practice contest, the University of Ne
braska faces a gridiron schedule of
six games. Opponents in those six
games are such that the Cornhuskers
by wiping the Slate with six clean vic
tories will be the gridiron champions
of the entire country, or at least will
be on even terms with other cham
pionship elevens.
Hinges on Three Games.
The Huskers, of course, must win
all six games to earn the cherished
( title, but it is upon the result of three
ot the games that success niuges.
They are the games with Syracuse,
Michigan and Notre Dame.
Syracuse, this year, ranks among
the leaders of the east. It is con
sidered highly possible that Syracuse
will win the eastern championship.
Among eastern leaders Syracuse
meets are Pittsburgh, Tufts, Brown
and Colgate.
With Harvard, Yale and Princeton
out of it, it probable the recognized
champion of the east will be Syra
cuse. Brown, Pittsburgh, Colgate or
Pennsylvania.
Syracuse regards its prospects to
snare the eastern honors as exceed
ingly bright and if the New York
eleven does trim Brown, Pittsburgh
and Colgate, Nebraska will have a
chance by defeating Syracuse on
Thanksgiving day to take that title.
Even though Syracuse should lose
to either Brown or Pittsburgh or Col
gate, Nebraska still has the oppor
tunity of earning equal standing with
the victorious school if the Huskers
in turn defeat their eastern foe.
Another Angle.
From another angle, the Cornhusk
ers have a chance at the champion
ship. Michigan is a member of the west
ern conference and alsj plays Pennsyl
vania and Cornell in the east. Should
Michigan defeat its "Big Ten" rivals
and also Penn and the Ithacahs, Ne
braska, by defeating the Wolverines,
would climb to the championship by.
that route.
Then, too. there is Notre Dame.
The Hoosierj play the Army, so
should the Army prove to have the
best team in the east, the Cornhusk
ers have the same opportunity before
them.
By victories over Missouri, Kansas,
Iowa, Notre Dame ahd Michigan, Ne
braska has a chance not only to win
the Missouri valley title, but also the
western honor.
And by defeating Notre Dame,
Michigan and Syracuse, the Corn
huskers can win the championship of
the country as well, because these
three teams play all of the leading
elevens of the east, including Brown,
Pittsburgh. Colgate, Pennsylvania,
Cornell and West Point.
Nebraska's glorious opportunity is
ahead if the grade isn't too steep for
our plodding athletes.
Depends on Stewart.
The grade shouldn't be too steep,
though. It is true Nebraska is facing
the stiffest schedule a middle western
eleven ever tackled, but material at
Lincoln is the best in the history of
the school, Nebraska this year should
have a better team than that famous
eleven of 1914, when Vic Halligan,
Dick Rutherford and Guy Chamber
lain were in their prime. And there
isn't a Cornhusker follower in the
state who wouldn't risk his last cent
that that team could have cleaned up
any team in the land.
It really develops into a problem
for Coach Stewart. It's strictly up to
the coach. He has the material. He
has Captain Shaw, one of the best
tackles Nebraska ever had; Ted Rid-,
dell, an always dependable end:
Johnny Cook, a sensational back field
performer; Paul Dobson, a steady
back field man;, Hugo Otoupolik, a
terrific line plunger and a tower of de
fensive strength; Rhodes, a defensive
end almost, if not'as wonderful, as the
great Chamberlain and a good line
man on the attack, as veterans around
whom to build his eleven. In Mc
Mahon and Chellenberg, first year
men, he has two back fields who
promise to rival the greatest stars Ne
braska ever had, and he has Kellogg,
Hubka. Day, Henry and several others
from the freshman squad of last year
who should fill any gaps that nave
been made.
Stewart hasn't a big squad to -vork
with, but what he has is unusually tal
ented. Neither has the Cornhuskers
mentor the assistants he should have
he has only one, Owen Frank,
when he should have four, at least.
But Frank is a capable man and the
athletes he has know a lot of foot
ball already, so injuries alone should
prevent Stewart -from turning out a
successful team.
