WHITE S0X THE FAV0RiTES
Ed Walsh Looms Up Against
Cubs in Intercity Series.

Chicago, Oct 6.-The two Chicago ma
jor league baseball teams closed their
seasons to-day, each winning, and to-
morrow will rest in preparation for the
city series, which will begin on Tues
day. A majority of the local sporting
writers pick the American Leaguers as
winners OF the city championship Civ
ing the preference to the White Sox be-
cause Of their possession Of Ed Walsh
on their pitching STAFF. The big spitball
artist is acknowledged by Frank Chance,
manager Of the Cubs TO be better than
any pitcher the Cubs can put up against
him. Chance, however, asserts that the
famous inside game" and experience of
the Cubs will bring them through, even
with an inferior pitching staff, and this
Is the argument of the National teams
hackers. The White Sox are younger
players than the Cubs, but are figured to
suffer somewhat in comparison on the
basis of big league experience.
There is little betting on the result, on
account OF the bad condition the Cub
pitching staff IL acknowledged TO be In
Interest In the game Is Increased 70 adj
mirers OF the Cubs, as the series may be
the last appearance with the team Of
Frank l.. Chance. Neither Chance nor
Murphy has as yet given out his final
statement In the matter, except for Muir
phys pronunciamento that Chance will
not manage the team next year.

Polo Grounds early this morning. Long

JAKE STAHL WRITES HOME
Confident of Victory in Letter
to Folks at Elkhart.
by Telegraph to The Tribune

Elkhart, ILL.,. Oct. Stake Stahl, man
ager of the Boston Red Sox. has written
back to the folks at home his impressions
on the coming worlds series with the
Giants. Although not generally known.
ILL.,, thirty-two years ago, and his mes
sage to the home folks appeared In the
current issue Of local paper. The letter
reads as follows:
You ask me to write my ideas about
the games between the Red Sox and the
Giants. / will begin by giving you the
reason why we won the American League
pennant. The reasons are: First-Be-
cause every man on the Boston team was
after 1t from the start. Second-Because
our team work is perfect. No man Is for
himself; every man is for the team first,
last and all the time. Third-Because we
have the best team in the American
League and, think. the best aggregation
Of baseball players ever gotten together.
The fans may think that, having the
best men, the rest is easy. but every
good fellowship in a club will help tow
ara MAKING peIndnt winners.
II am in full sympathy with every
one of the boys, and they have always
treated me like one of themselves. All
through the heat Of the season our con-
ferences have been heart-to-heart talks
Every man has given me the best service
he could give to any manager in the bust
ness.
Don't forget one thing: No one man
on the Boston team won the American
League pennant. 1t was won by the Bos-
ton baseball team. OF course, Joe Wood
holds the record for pitching in the Amer
lean League, but II his support had not
been as good as his pitching he would
not have established the splendid record
he has.
Some people may say that our out
field IS without a flaw, and that We shall
depend upon Speaker. Hooper and Lewis
TO beat the Giants Others may point TO
our batting averages when they discuss
the probability Of winning the worlds
series, but / depend upon the Red Sox's
ability to play ball from the time the
umpire calls play until the series ends.
Every man on the team has played his
position not only with credit, but with
honor, and unless something happens
which we are not expecting every one OF
the twenty-five will be fit and ready for
the game Of his life when We enter the
world series.
1--WE shall go for the worlds champions
pennant with the same determination and
single purpose with which we captured
the American League pennant, and If
past performances count for anything
am sure we will have two pennants, in
stead OF one, flying over our clubhouse
next spring-at least, the Giants will have
to go harder even than they have been
going this year II they hope to pull down
the big streamer"
