Anxious To Be Loyal to

BY HAROLD V. WILCOX.

BY HAROLD Y. WILCOX.
About this time a year ago, Charles
Comiskey, Jimmy Callahan and the
rest OF the Chicago south side dope
sters we're informing the world that
the White Sox would have the finest
pitching stan in the country during
the season OF 1914. II was even con
ceded that there was remote pos
sibility Of that wonderful stan win
ming the pennant, providing 1t was
not too much handicapped by the sur
plus OF osseous tissue and slo",moN-
ing traffic that made the rest OF tue
team famous. And almost eVerypou!
In baseball joined in the chorus that
boosted the White Sox moundsmen.
They did prove very effective last
summer, bur Callahan's pitchers
missed leading the league by a Dig
margin, and stuck TO second place IN
the records by a very small lead Inc
Red Sox had the finest hurting stan
In the league In 1914. The marvellous
work OF Leonard has been pointed out
before, but the rest OF that Carrigan
clan has been somewhat overlooked.
The whole Red Sox mound stan
came through the season with grand
average Of but LIE earned runs per
each nine innings Of pitching. The
much press-agented White Sox were
nearly three-quarters OF run behind,
their grand average being 2.46 earned
runs per game. Close behind and IN
third place comes Philadelphia, with
an average of 2.64, and Washington
Is In fourth place, with 2.6S, despite
the work OF Walter Johnson. The
Tigers get fifth place, because the
Yankees let a generous youth named
Pieh pitch 19 games. He allowed 6.O3
earned runs per game, and dragged
New York down to a grand average of
3.04, which corresponds to seventh
place in the league rating. Had Pieh
never been born, the Yankees would
have shaded Detroit by two points.
The Tiger hurlers averaged 2.7S, and
the Yanks 2.76, without Pieh.
st. Louis gets sixth honors with an
average OF 2.9S earned runs, and
cleveland, as everybody suspected, Is
last with a record OF 3.21.
Further demonstrating the unex-
pected superiority Of the whole Red
Sox staff over the wearers OF white
hose, is the fact that out of the six
best pitchers In the league. Boston
had three, and the White Sox had but
three in the first eleven.

The CASE OF ONE
WILLIAM DOAk.

Those St Louis fans who are par
tial To the Cardinals are busily engag'
ed in lauding the loyalty or William
Doak. Doak, II will be recalled, look
ed the best OF all National league
pitchers when the averages for the
past season came TO light recently.
Doaks contract expired last year,
and the Feds were quick TO see his
worth They approached him with
/. fair offers, that would undoubtedly
have been increased as soon as the
Bidding became spirited. IL Doak had
had any idea OF jumping or of holding
up President Britton, he could have
refused 20 have signed until after the
holidays, TO his own great financial
profit.
But Doak either pulled a fearful
sbonehead, or simply let his heart run
away with his head. Last September
Manager Higgins asked for his sig
nature to new contract, and got II
on the spot. Bill expressed himself
as being under obligations TO
the Cardinals for his chance TO make
big Money In baseball. and willing To
stick with the people who gave him
the best Job he had ever expected to
have.
It is easy to say that sentiment is
foolish and that Doak's Uranium is
made OF elephant tusks. Nevertheless
IN these winter days when sport seems
to be wholly showed under by irritat.
ing commercialism, II is refreshing TO
ponder over Bill Doak's case, and
point with some pride to his folly"
