Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson as participants which had
been extensively advertised, was for
bidden to be shown today after the

It is said to have represented the
Japanese in an unfavorable light, and
the city officials took the view that it
would stir up race feeling.

=
Evers has better team than Chance
had in 1912, and Callahan was no
stronger, if their standing in their
own league is any criterion.
From now out delirious dreamers
will figure the chances of the Sox in
1914 on the form they showed
against the Cubs. And these same
dreamers are due for a rude awaken
ing, for the Sox will not play up to
the standard they set in the past six
games.
1t is still our opinion that Evers
has the superior team for full sea-
sons run, but, as we said yesterday,
the Sox can beat them nine times out
of ten when something big hinges on
the result. They can be keyed up for
a short dash, but fail to maintain
their peppery pace.
The Cubs are more phlegmatic,
content to plug along and take things
as they come.
Before the series started the SUI
perior Cub batting was counted on
to play an important part in the re-
suit. And at the end of the six games
we find the Sox mauling the old pill
for an average of .271, exactly 40
points ahead of the Cubs,
Four Sox players, including three
outfelders who batted under .235 for
the season, have marks of 400 or bet
ter for the city series. Eddie Cicotte,
who pitched a pair of games, batted
.667 and was factor with the bat
in one of the contests. Harry Lord,
under .265 for the year, bulges up
with 304. Weaver improved his sea-
sons percentage. Berger, Chase and
Schalk fell below the pace they had
set, but the other men carried them
through.
Now take a slant at the perform
ances of the Cubs. Jimmy Archer
banged away for a mark of .455,
about 200 points better. than his pace

work Tim batted .179 and Schultz :
wobbled along with percentage of
1872. Leach and Evers were away be-
low where they belong.
Probably the good pitching of the
Sox boxmen had lot to do with this.
but the Cubs have been batting good
pitching all year. Grover Alexander,
RUDE Marquard, Christy Mathewson,
Slim Sallee, Nap Rucker, Tom Seat
on, Babe Adams and Claude Hendrix
all earn their living by flinging in
the National League, and they are
worth every cent they get.
Evers' men managed to hit these
boys, and Callahan hasn't a better
man in his list than some of those
named.
This is one case where psychology
can be dragged into the dope. There
is no other way to explain the way
the Sox and Cubs play when they
meet each other.
The important work for the Sox
was done by men who had been given
little consideration, and the big three
in this classification were John Col
ILLS, jazz T OuIulCI dIlu JUG DSuL.
caIIahan's pitching staff was really
not as strong in this post-season
clash as it was during the major por-
ton of the regular schedule. Reb
Russell was good for only one game
in six and took heavy punishment il
that. Ordinarily the Texas southpaw
can pitch about two and half games
in six
Benz won one game unaided, and
in another forced Lefty Vaughn to
go so far in order to cop that he was
useless for the rest of the series.
Collins won two games with his bat
and drove home the first Sox run
with a single yesterday, and at the
same time placed his team in posi-
ton where two more could score on
Fournier,s swat. And Fournier pro-
duced the blow at the right moment.
