“Commy" Gets Flag After Eleven Years’ of Waiting.

When Ed Collins took Lou McCarty’s roller and .chucked it into the big mit of Chick Gandil about four o’clock Monday afternoon,, Charles Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, had realized an eleven years’ dream. Not since the fall of 1906 has Comiskey been the proud owner of a championship. The Sox won that Monday game 4 to 2 and the championship of the world with it. Cascade, la., looms up large on the map. Lots of people knew that such a village existed, hut those New Yorkers know it now, and the reason is “Red” Faber. The sorrel topped heaver chucked in such convincing manned Saturday after he picked up the game in the eighth inning that Manager Rowland decided he was the lad to make the cham-

pionship certain; hence, “Red” was found on the mound Monday. “Red” had the New York fans enveloped in gloom throughout that warm, balmy October 'afternoon. In _ but one round did the sturdy righthander falter—in the fifth—when a triple by Herzog gave the Giants a pair of runs. Thereafter the Giants never threatened. . Each and every White Sox did his part toward winning the flag. The 'series was hard fought, but the Hose had the stamina to carry them through. Each of the Pale Hose will receive a sum of approximately $3,800 for their six days’ work, while each of the Giants will have to be contented with a measly for their six days of labor.
