No one will contradict the state

races had plenty to worry about dur

The Chicago team was not as
strong as some OF it's rivals and the

responsible for the great finish the
team made.

That Season of 1908 Will Long
Be Remembered By Seven Managers
Jones' Chicago White Sox Had Some Time Trying To Figure
Out Just What Pitchers To Use

Fielder wanted to be sure OF one
game in Cleveland. and he wanted to
go about II In the safest way. His de-
cision was TO pitch Walsh and then

course, that Walsh lost his game.

his famous no-hit game. Smith and
Liebhart started the next day and
Walsh was called in to save. which he
did by tanning Lajoie with two men
on bases and Chicago one run ahead.
There remained the three games
with Detroit. all OF which Chicago
must win. The train that took the
White Sox back TO Chicago Saturday
night, the third OF October, also had
a berth for Jones. and again ne pass

room, and In the morning his MINI
was made up. He would send DOC
White against the Tigers Sunday and
Walsh Monday, provided DOC" went
through with the Sunday Job. The
TUESDAY problem could be left Tor

White won the game, and Walsh
came across with another glorious VIC
cory the next day. Mr.. Jones sat In
chair In his apartment all Monday
night. puzzling over the hardest quos-
! ton of all. Had White had enough
rest? Could Walsh stand the strain
once more? Could Frank Smith he
relied on?
I Summers and Killian had been put
out OF the way. and there was no
doubt about Jennings choice for the
| final fight. II would certainly be Bill
f, Donovan.
The sleepless night in the Jones
apartment was followed by restless
and nervous forenoon. Jones an
nounced that White would start. He
also gave the order to Walsh TO be
ready at a seconds notice.
The Tigers hadn't hit for two days.
They were due. White got his right
