CHICAGO. H.. October 15.-1t's all over.
and the horse blankets. the pluInage. the
Haunting pennants, and all the other glor-es
of the base ball wor.d-to say nothing of
the cold iron cash-are hiVed UP In Comis-
keys yard. It's all over, and the town Is
still beiiowing-half with Joy and the other
half with agony. Comiskey. while pushing
away the glad congra ulationS with one
and (why should q man be strangled or
ave his back beaten in?', is figuring with
the other trying to get up a design for
pole that will hold three flags. Champions
of the American League. champions of Chi
cago. champions of the world That's how
the flag will have to be decorated. and at a
distance 1t will much resemble three
masted schooner under full sail and stand
ing on It's nose. How those three flags will
CLEAN and glisten in the South Side air!
How the man who lives in that section of
the nation will stick out his chest and
bulge forth his lofty brow! It's all over now
the goods have been delivered and the
flags are won.
1t is. of course. too late to talk of ifs
and butts" The Cubs can figure it all
out-just how they ought to nave won. and
why they didn't Why bother the average
man with abstruse mathematics! All ne
vans to know is-whO won. and what was
the score of the lnal game
That last gane-the one that packed 49,
249 fanatics into the GA Romans yard
was one OF those things that NOBODY quite
expects. So was the whole series. in many
ways. For instance. who ever expected the
hitess SoX TO upriSe and slam the bail
hithcr and yon, and al over the arena In
the last two battles? Who expected these
same Sox to win on hitting. and not on
fielding? For. in the hour OF victory. be It
admitted-and the Sex will not DENY 1t.
either-they felded in tie twilight OF the
great sruggie like women shoeing hens.
like cows throwing burrs with Their tails.
like hyenaS tossing bones upon the cliffs of
Africa. But the things they did with their
war clubs-Ah. these deeds shall never be
forgotten.
Some of the Ifs and Butts"
The wlnd-up, of course. like all bail games
that don't pan cut just So was full of
theories and figurations Chance put Brown
in to do the hurting. The Sox thereupon
fell against Mr.. Brown and Illuminated him
till he looked like Chinese child that
had been fiattened by the impact of a ton
Of mud dropped from the Masonic Temple.
Yet Chance did not remove him. What
sort OF Judgment was that? Is it not writ
ten that he who setteth the bumps and
Goeth over the high Jumps at the start shall
also get them and more in the next session?
Yet Brown stayed in and they did larger
variety of things to him In the next inning.
Fine business. that. Large Mr. Overall
who did great work on Saturday. then sue
ceeded Mr.. Brown. ana pitched such ball
that 1T was averred-when ii was much too
late-that he could have both the final
games had he been started. Sure. he could.
He had the speed and he had the Sox eat
ing out of his paws. But what of it when
all over?
Meanwhile Doc White pitched good, eff
cient ball He started though he would
get a trimming, but he improved, and, with
a big lead to help him, he pitched sturdily
on. and came through an easy winner. The
Cubs could not dent him when dents We're
needed. At times they would seem to have
him going. but 1t was only a dream Just
when everything seemed to be breaking
wrong for the Doc, Donohue would make a
wonderful stop of fool throw and all would
be over. 1t would be hard to say just what
the Sox would have done in the whole series
but for Donohue for most of them were
taken with hurlitis and kept firing them
astray in every game.
Mr.. Donohue sCooped them up in all di-
reCtions. and thus saved many run.
Comiskey's Gift to the Sox.
So much for that. Now DEPRESSION while
we speak of the money. and of Mr. Comis
key-not hectic. bu, modestic-retreated
to seclusiOn, bearing with him pen and
checkbook And then and there he in
scrbed his check for SIS 600 the larger part
of his own gain by the series. That $4,000
goes to the white-hoof players, and he spe-
cially stated that even frankie Roth and
Lee Ouillan, who were barred from the big
series should have their share. When they
heard OF this unparalleled generosity. this
truly royal action. what did the players do?
What didn't they do? Words fall way shy
when an attempt is made to paint the feel
ings of the players and their regard for
their masters.
The victors are still exultinG and the
yanuuished are still heartbrolien. Comis-
key has been opening wine ever since
Murphy has not been seen by many people
Said the victorious old Roman:
II have the finest team of ball players IN
the world. and the credit is justly theirs.
They won on their merits, and because they
had il coming to them to win. They were
hailed as the underdogs and the sure losers
and what surprise they did put over.
THE Cubs are tough team 10 beat
Next to the Sox they are easily the greatest
ball club in the country-a grand set of fell
lows and the fastest kind OF players We
beat them, though. by merit and not by
hukes. There were times when felt an
1ious, but as a rule l rested easy, conf
dent that we would pull through. That
$4,000 gave the boys? Well. now do you
think II was worth 1t to own such ball
team
What Manager Jones Says.
I'VE out-hit them. and thereby surprised
all the wise ones" said Fielder Jones.
EVERY body thought that ii We won 1t would
be on fielding and pitching but never on
batting. Well our pitchers proved all ok.
and did the best kind Of work. but We
pulled It through with the stick We hit
and walloped and slugged- Hitless won
ders? Well. circumstances alter cases.
I'VE were all keyed up for the last couple
of games. and how did 20 after them.
Their pitchers, too proved Unexpectedly
easy. Our heiding-well. the best can say
of It is that It was a crime We were
making some awful chucks and throws and
heaves-but we won.'
II worked change OF pace against the
Cubs In the last game" said Doc White.
They are not used to It, National
Leaguers do not employ that art to any
great extent, and so I had them going.
Meanwhile the boys were hitting hard. and
90 1 sailed through with ease.
"Uh, huh. Just had to win. Give me the
same" said Nick Altrock.
I'VE were fairly beaten because the team
took US by surprise and swept of
our feet" said Charlie Murphy. I'VE didn't
expect any such fight, and were really
looking for a duplicate OF last years series.
Our pitchers were not up to their standard.
and the Sox certainly played far above
their usual mark. 1t a great series.
and all can say Is this: l am glad the
championship of the world stays in Chi
cago, and I hope that We can reverse the
result next season"
1--WE played like dubs and the Sox like
stars" said Frank Chance. That's the real
truth We are beaten today, and beaten
