GIVES REASON FOR HARD
HITTING IN The SERIES

Chicago. H., oct. 27.-President
Comiskey of the White Sox yesterday
threw what may be prove to be n
bomb into the maelstrom of baseball
gossip which held the city in its grip
yesterday He asserted his belief that
the baseballs used In Thursdays world
series game on the west side were not
the same kind of balls used in the
American league during the last
championship season, but that they
were livelier. t" Hn
The Significance Of this may not APP
peal to the general run OF fans. who
do not know that the rival brands OF
baseball used in the two major leagues
are turned out on practically the same
machines. in the same factory. There
is an official National league ball'
and an official American league ball"
but their difference exists i'm the color
of the threads used to sew up their
covers and in the official stamps and
signatures placed upon them.
The balls used In the game here on
Thursday were furnished by the home
club, as the rules Of baseball require

only way I could understand il was
that they were livelier than the ones

"Of course, it is just as fair FOR
one club as for another. and il is my
explanation of how so much hitting
was done off good pitching"
One of the first remarks Of Fielder
Jones, former manager of the Sox.
made during the opening game of the
worlds series i'm Philadelphia was:
"They are using n different ball than
the ones we had when / was in the
game. 1t bounds differently and looks
lveler. l never have played with the
new cork core baseballs. but have only
read about them. That probably ex-
plains why they look different. II is

FRANK CHANCE FINED.
Manager of Chicago Cubs Pays $50 fol
Back Talk.

Chicago, oct. 27-Frank l.. Chance,
manager of the defeated Cubs. was
fined $50 by the national commission
for his run-in with Umpire Tom Con-
molly of the American league, in the
game, last Thursday afternoon.
To many it appeared that Chance
purposely got himself put out of the
game" His protest came after Muir
ply hit the ball over the screen in
eight field
Chance claims that an agreement
was made before play began that any
ball hitting the scorebord should be
recognized as a home run. and that
since Murphy's did not hit the score
board he couldn't see why il should
je called n four base drive.
Connolly told Chance TO quit argu-
ing and go back to his position. The
Cub leader argued all the more Con-
molly chased him, and Archer was sent
To first base.
The national commission was len
lent with Chance. At the time of the
Vpulsion it was freely limited that
Chance stood a fine chance of paying
n fine of $500.

joined the club. In speaking of this
the other day the famous batsman
said:

"The hardest pitcher in the Ameri-

JOHNNY EvfRS SAYS The
CUBS WERE OFF COLOR

Chicago, Oct 27.-This was the
queerest worlds series / ever saw
said Johnny Evers OF the Cubs in
discussing the recent games. Never
before has a series so completely up-
set the dope of all the wise ones. and
never has one been worse played than
this. Old Mr.. Inside Baseball. who has
won the Cubs lot of games i'm the
past, grabbed his cane and hobbled Off
when the two teams hooked up. Not
flash of the inside plays that have
made the Cubs famous was shown.
and the Athletics did not seem TO Try
to show any.
1t was simply a case of slug,
slug, slug. and | regret to say that
the smuggling was mostly with the Ath-
letics. They won simply by killing the
ball There was little base running
next to no stealing, few scientific com
bination plays and little real pitching.
There have been spectacular fielding
feats and some absolutely marvellous
batting, but comparatively little Of
what | am accustomed to regard as
baseball.
The Athletics I'm many ways are n
remarkable team. They are much
stronger in fielding than | had been
led to expect. Their batting is queer.
They do not lay for the fast ones
They do not wait as we'll as | had
thought they would. They do not al
ways insist on pitcher putting the
ball over the plate. Strange To say,
nearly all the hits were off curve balls
or some other kind of twister.
AS sluggers they are marvels. They
hit the ball savagely and seldom fail
To hit hard. whether the hits go safe
or not. Most of the infeld ground
ers were hot smashes, extremely hard
10 handle, and some were entirely too
hot for even man such as Steinfeldt.
whose hands are so strong that he
seldom fails to hold n ball no matter
how hard hit when once he gets
his glove I'm front of II.
The Athletics were on the very top
of a tremendous batting streak. such
as even weak batting teams get once
In a while, and while the streak was
on. they were bound to hit anything
and everything.
Defensively the Athletics are not
without their weak spots. though their
pitching staff is good and their infleld
peach. had expected to find Barry
and Baker nervous and Eighty. and 7
had counted much on Bakers WE'LL
known weakness on hunts But Baker
got away with most of the hunts di-
rected at him. and when they did get
away the slip didn't happen to count
in the scoring.
Collins is the real keystone of tho
infield and the life OF the whole team.
He is n marvellous ball player in field
ing, batting. throwing and running
Not the least of his strong points is
in his ability to field and throw with
accuracy from any position. even when
clear off his balance.
Yes, the Athletics are n great ball
team, and any one who says they are
not is foolish. They can hit and run
and field: they have good pitchers, and
they are full of pepper and fight and
spirit.
Yet. II is true that the Boston Doves
could beat the Cubs on the form dis
played by the Chicago team in this
series
