Third performance goes on at the Polo grounds tomorrow. After viewing the two matinees in Chicago Chi-cago the critics ne.em somewhat divided in opinion as to the nature of the show. Some say It Is :i tragedy. S"tne pronounce pro-nounce It comedy, while others declare It sher farce. The Manhattan island experts ex-perts on haaehall drama unlto tn the belief be-lief that It should have a stronger third act to pet over In these parts. A pood funny fall of the Chtcapo White Sox would, undoubtedly, torn up the finish fin-ish for Broadway. If the performance tomorrow to-morrow is like those which took place in Chicago the Giants might just ss well close, the box office and tend the show to btnraee. The trunk which came In with the other world's series props late tonight belonged to Bennv Kauff. He uses it to confine his wardrobe. Benny's Wardrobe. It is a good stout trunk, but it is not f-i-mnd proof and the noise made by Benny's apparel kept the other luggage In the baggage car on the Michigan Central Cen-tral limited awake all Sunday night. Benny had been cast by many followers follow-ers of baseball drama for the role of leading man in the show which opened in Chicago Saturday, so he went equipped with scenic effects to fit. the part. "Ilappv" Felseh stole the show on Benny and now Benny's sartorial appurtenances appur-tenances are good for nothing, except to wear. "Map" Felseh Is one of those fellows fel-lows who wears clothes which cannot be beard more than a Mock away. Thus the vagaries of baseball fate are again made manifest. Bill Farmim of the movies, who understudied under-studied Benny on the great sartorial scene, using a big yellow leather coat and a cap with a Scot-h accent which knocked the Chicago provincials right out of their $.r seats, returned to New York with the Manhattan island members of t he cast. Bill is representative of the crowd which followed the Giants to Chicago "prepared." as the pa pers say. "to back his home town club to the last penny." He Is rep in that he has the last penny, all right. The world's series spent today spread out aloncr the lines of the New York Central. The slants occupied four special cars on the Michigan Central limited, lim-ited, although Phil M'-Gulre contended that it would have been more appropriate bad they been walking back. Not Particularly Cheerful. However, walking would have taken up almost as much time as it requires to get nn order in the well-played dining car and the Giants had to be here tor ttie opening open-ing tomorrow. So they rode. There was nothing of. what one might call merriment on the train. The players play-ers were not particularly down-hearted, but neither were they especially joyful. Thev bad not entirely recovered from their utter astonishment over the result in Chicago. None of them had even anticipated any- , thing worse than an even break in the first two games. That the Sox would "rake'' them in both garnets Is something which never entered their calculations. After Ferdie Sehupp breezed through the opening inning Sunday, the Giants settled Nick on their side line with a sigh of relief, confident that he was "right" and more confident that when "right" Sehupp was unbeatable. When he got two runs under him they thought it was a cinch. Schupp's Big Blowup. j "He lost all his stuff quicker'n you could bat an eye." said one of the players. "Nobody can account for It. He had it j when he started and then suddenly i lost it." I In other words. Sehupp was unable to put his curve and twist on the hall, after apparently having perfect command of It , In the beginning. It was an unusual oc- j eurrence. ' Fred Anderson, the spitballer. who re- , lieved Sehupp with the bases full and re- : tired the side, and who thus got away under auspicious circumstances, had much the same experience. "I couldn't break the ball where I wanted to," said the North Carolina dentist. den-tist. "When I was able to put It around thlr knees they couldn't hit it, but the trouble was I couldn't keep it there." "They're a funny hitting club," commented com-mented Slim Sallee, the old sun-baked side winder from St. Louis, who pitched well against the Sox in the opening game, ; only to be beaten by "Happy" Felsch's homer. "That Felseh. is. the only one who swings at the ball. The rest of them stand up there and bat as if they were just trying- to meet it. Easy to Pitch To. "Not one of them is hard to pitch to; I mean there are no little fellows on the club at least none who batted against me and they are not so much on working work-ing a pitcher. That ball Felseh hit off me was a curve ball, waist high, and be hit it good, too, I'll tell the world, although al-though I think the wind pushed it along a little." It may please "Silk" O'Laughlln to hear that "Old Sal' pays him quite a compliment. "The umpiring was good," says Sal. 'Maybe he missed one on me and mavbe there was one I got he could have given the other way, but that's all right." Rube Benton, another left-hander will very likely start against the Sox tomorrow, tomor-row, if the weather permits anvbodv to start. Some were of the opinion that McGraw would come back with Sallee, but the Giant leader said this afternoon that it "looks like Benton." This is the first time McGraw has offered of-fered any line on his probable pitching choice for a game. He crossed all the clairvoyants when he started Sallee instead in-stead of Sehupp in the opening game and crossed them again when he started sehupp instead of Perritt in the second game. Of all the pitchers who worked Sunday big Jett Tesreau showed the greatest effectiveness. ef-fectiveness. The Giant mountaineer was grinning widely and seemed quite at ease He had been through several worlds series and has forgotten there Is such a thing as "mental strain " nh two games in the bag it is reasonable rea-sonable to assume that Rowland will now start Tex Russell, bis left-hander That would leave him Cicotte for tile fourth and perhaps the final game. Some think he will use icotte tomorrow, however .vTh?, "'hite Sox re very familiar with the Polo grounds.
