October 11. New York evened up with th Chicago White Sox hy taking today's game by a substantial margin. The count now stands two games for each team Faber pitched for Chici.go and wai hit hard. Schupp was in the box fin New York and twirled a great game. A clear blue tky, and a hot, bright sun, greeted the advance guard of fans who parked themselves in vantage points here this afternoon for the world's series battle. The weather waa the best offered yet for baseball yet the fans, the big percentage of them, were slow in coming out. Whether or not there is lagging in terest in world's seriei hhsehall hen was a question, but the fact remain that there were not more than 10.00 bug in the stands at 12:15 o'clock. The approach of the hour of today' game, the fourth of the series, foum' the Giants standing on the tl.r.- -h,.';. of a great opportunity. Virtory meant that they would be t,S jven terms with the scrappy Whit Sox. Defeat meant that the men of McGraw would face an almost impos sible task in the remaining games. Giants Arrive on (.round. Manager Rowland and his board ol strategy was doped to take every rare in choosing a pitcher today, for thi outcome of the fourth game will either put the Sox on easy street again or force them to fight tooth and nai for the final victory. Old Hans Lol,ert led the Giants on the field at 12:30 o'clock. The crowd cheered them lustily and waa generous in its applause when a Giant player hit a ball hard in batting praetire. The appearance of Davy Robcrt-or at the batting cage brought a storm of applause from the stands. Davj is the idol of Giant fans now, a tribute which his playing in the thin game justly deserved. While the Giants tuned up theii batting lamps the hand and the mega phone songsters entertained the fans The stands began filling more rapid! toward 1 o'clock, yet It looked doubtful that a capacity crowd would witness the game. The White Sox came on to the grounds at 1:02. Some of the Giant went through many clownish antiif in a pepper game in front of thiir bench to amuae the crowd while several of Mcdraw's rookie pitchers lob bed the hall over to the b itters. Kauff. Zimmniman ami Burns, Fletcher Holke and Hobbie practiced hunting the ball.

Among the warships affected was the Westfalen. which was reported sunk at the time of the battle of Jutland. Others were the Luithold, Prinx Regent, Kaiser and Hurnburg.
