To Benuy Kauff, -who snt the day through without a hit or go'od the sting: that fol- ved the' game's loss.

It was his des- rate attempt to cut off a hit that suited in the first White Sox run. Ground each fluid was woven a fab- of brilliance. one side of tlie Id to the ofiici, stupendous fielding orts were thrown in. the face of the ormous crowd.

Sicotte himself opened the artillery that resulted in the first White run. Cicotte, one of the best hit- ig pitchers baseball, stepped into of m.

It was re that Kauff's play figured. The mer Federal league star came'dash: in for the ball, vlungrcd for it and sscd.

A short fly to the outfield, a poj-up and a soft grounder on which Weaver erred, were his other efforts. Heinie Zimmerman failed to hit a ball out of the infield.

Speculation turned tonight to the probable pitching selections for tomorrow. It was believed McGraw Poll Perritt to the firing line, alternating from his string: of left handers.

you were the biggest heroes In the country, how would you like to get chased to bed while about a million people were celebrating in your honor? Probably the White Sox didn't either, but they donned their nighties real early, nevertheless. They did it on orders from boss, Clarence Rowland, who herded them into the bosoms'of their families while the evening was still young and Chicago's baseball population was'just warming up to make a night of it. For Rowland, In common with Ben Fiankhn, beliuves that: "Early to bed and early to rise, "Makes ptppery fielding and sharp batting eyes." And the Giants, under like orders from John MoGraw, were spared the pain of trying to appear cheerful. But the home fans were thronging the loop streets, laughing while cabarets and other thirst emporiums were doing a "staggering" business. Everybody was telling everybody else, "I told you so," and making freak of the mind variety.

The Hstlessfo otball which can-led the season of a year ago, defeat In the Kansas game, was driven from its trenches and the Cornhusker fighting spirit of old took its place on the firing line. Dr.

Stewart, coach of the Corn- huskers, declined last night to exult over the victory. "I for a harder game," he said, "as we must now start on a string of six of tho toughest games In American football. "We needed more opposition, but Wosleyan, which has a green team, probably gave us tho best they had In stock.

I figured I had a stronger team than last year," the Wesleyan coach said last night, "but the Corn- huskers are stronger, in my estimation, than any Nebraska team I have seen during tho past six seasons.

Unless the Cornhuskera take a sudden slump from ovbj-tdnfldcnce, I can see no reason why" Nebraska should not win the championship i and make a serious bid to win from Notre Dame, Michigan and Syracuse. The Nebraska 'team, as it played against Wasleyan. has so much of the punch thai'there is no limit to Ita, possibilities." The Huskers started their big push early in the first quarter. Big Munn kicked off to AVe.sIc^iin and Halfback Carman returned the kick to tho Mothodists's 26-yurd line. Captain Grove hurled himself against the Nebraska line, gaining, a scant yard, after jvhich the Husker forwards broke through nnd spilled Carman for a six- yard IOSM.
