Polo, Grounds, New York( Oct.
15 The Giants and White Sox met
here this afternoon fon a bitter
clash in what may be the deciding
game of the 1917 world series. It is
a case of Rowland, "busher," fight
ing for a place in the sun, versus
McGraw, veteran, with a string of
baseball Jaurels, fighting to beat the
jinx he trained for three world se
ries past. There were no friendly
greetings between the Giants and
Sox before the game. Each went
grimly through the batting practice.
There could be no "tomorrow" for
New York if they lost today.
The batteries are: New York,
Benton and Raridan; Chicago, Fa
ber and Schalk. The playing field
is in excellent condition.
