Windy City Teams in Ma
tional. American and Fed
eral Leagues Are Cup
There" Reminds One of
1906 SOX-Cubs Series

Three baseball teams belonging to
one city and all three in the thick of
the pennant battles in their respective
leagues. That's the situation in Chiea-
go today. With the Cubs, the White
SOx and the Chifeds all "upthere," it
is not to be wondered that the Chicago
fans are staying awake nights. daZ-
zled by the prospect of three cham
pionships falling to their city.
1t was back in 1906 that Chicago es-
tablished a record in the pennant win
ming line. In that year both the Cubs
and White SoX COPIED the flags in
their respective leagues and later met
in the worlds championship series. No
other city has ever won two pennants
in one season. Now there apears at
least a chance that Chicago may boost
her own record by closing the present
season with three flag winners.
A month ago neither the Sox nor the
Cubs was figured as a formidable con-
tender for championship honors, while
Joe Tinker's Federal leaguers was
rated as having only an outside chance
to bring home the bacon. But about
that time each of the teams started
a winning streak with the result that
all three now see the bunting in sight.
Of the three teams, the White Sox
have been doing the best work, con-
sidering the material at hand. Outside
of the pitching staff the Callahan
crew started the season with every
appearance of being a weak aggrega =
ton. The desertion of Harry Lord. fol-
lowed a little later by Hal Chase's
jump to the Federals, made the team
look weaker than ever. It was freely
predicted that the Sox would drop out
of sight by the Fourth of July. But
contrary to expectation the team took
a decided brace and started their SEN
sational climb. With big Ed" Walsh
in condition to pitch, the Sox now
look to be mighty hard team to beat
out for the American league pennant
In direct contrast to the early sea-
son work of the White Sox. the weak
ness of the Cubs game was found in
pitchers box. The team put I'D a
good game in the field and at bat but
the pitchers were not yet right. II
TOOK considerable time to round out
the tWirling staff, but when the slab
bers once caught the step the team
started up the grade at a speedy elm
The New York Giants look to be the
team that the Cubs will have to beat
out in the race for the American league
championship. Whether the Chicago
ans will be able to take the measure
of McGraw's men is a question, but it's
sure bet that with large slice of
worlds series coin staring them in the
face every member Of Hank O'Day's
FASTENERS will play his head off to win.

! learned something about the delivery
and avasion of punches. Successive
battles made his name a prominent
one in the lightweight class in less
| than two years. He built up a great
reputation in the years that followed
| In his early career he fought bril-
liantly against such boys as Eddie
Lenney, Jimmy Dunn. Dave Deshler
| and Tim Callahan He went back to
Wales in 1907 and won eight straight
bouts with the knockout. Upon his
return he boxed all over America
Something About His Record
| He beat Maurice Savers and drew
with Charley Neary, two high-class
pugilists in 1908. He lost to Packey
Mcfarland in fifteen rounds in Mil
waukee. Then he humbled Phil
Brock and drew with Mcfarland at
Vernon, Calf.
Later he trounced Abe Attell
featherweight champion then, in fiji
Frank Carsey. Harry Trendall. Young
! Erne, and knocked out Ray Bronson
who had stopped Mcfarland.
Other men he defeated were Henri
Piet, Johnny Summers, Jem Driscoll,
Matty Baldwin and Pal Moore. He
again boxed a draw with McF'ar-
land in London in 1910. In 1911 he
lost the British lightweight title to
Matt Wells. Nineteen eleven was a
bad year for him and he imagined
himself all in, athletically speaking.
When he fought and licked Matte
Baldwin and Willie Richie in that
year he was at the bottom of his
form.
During the past three years Welsh
has had an in and out career. He
lost only once-tO Jimmy Duffy Of
Lockport-but his boxing was not
consistent. He made poor showings
with Phil Bloom, Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, Grover Hayes and Young
Saylor.
In the past year Welsh has beaten
Johnny Dundee, Frank Whitney,
Mickey Sheridan. Joe Rivers, Leach
Cross and Willie Richie.

runner to make second. He later
came home on Lindeys hit scoring
TIE last run of the game.
Il thrilling situation developed in
the eighth inning when there was
every indication that the Smelter
team would snatch from the visitors
their lead of two runs and claim vic
tory for themselves. Dorsey was first
at bat and hit safe. Kelley followed
with a similar stunt. Pierce then
came up and was given a walk fill
ing the bases with nobody down and
but two runs needed to tie the score.
At this juncture Pitcher Smiley re-
tired in favor of Goodman, who is q
late acquisition with the Ray team
having recently come from the Mesa
Jewels. The first to face G Goldman
was Cowan who promptly flew out
to left field and he was followed by
Clarity who flew to the same cor
ner of the lot with the same disas
trous result. Schultz, of h0me- run
fame. was next up, and drove a hot
one to third which was succe ssfully
fielded and the runner was O ut at
first retiring the side without a score.
There were great cheers FROM the
large gathering of Ray fans and now
Mr. Goodman has n warm place in
their hearts.

How Republican, Baseball
Reports Are Kept Accurate

Few fans who demand the right to
look into their morning paper and
discover the baseball teams tabulated,
the plays particularized, the stand
ings set forth, and the averages ap-
pended, knows the processes by
which sport statistics are kept i'm
maculate. They do not understand
how easy [ is for the mathematical
typographical error to upset the en-
tire work of a score of trained men.
Fortunately, The Republican has
been able to preserve its baseball
fairly clean throughout the present
year 1t is due to the adoption-or
rather the perfection, of a system
that operated last season and the
season before that.
For readers who are interested in
the intimate processes, the following
description has been prepared.
The Republicans baseball reports
originate in the offices of the Asso-
ciated Press. Since the addition OF
the little story lead the report has
become very costly. but not too dear
for the readers of this paper-who
are learning to depend on The Re
publican's baseball
The reports are wired right into
the office, where they are edited.
The Republican is the only paper in
the state with its own wire end, right
on the premises
As each game is reported, a record
is set down in a big slab of a book.
Each teams games won" and games
lost" are carefully set down each
night, so that the possible error in
yesterdays paper will not creep into
todays standings, and grow and
grow and grow.
For instance:
IL IS IA Is
New York Wa 43 A A.
L-29 80 80 81
From this record. the percentages
are figured each night.
Another safeguard-and also q
source of many dope" stoIies-is
the scrap book, containing the clip
pings from each days baseball. To
the man who wants to check up how
many games Matty has won, or the
number of hits he has given during
a certain period, or the teams he has
wallopped, this scrap book is of in
estimable value Also. in case OF
error being discovered in the record
book, the files can most always be
depended upon to straighten it out.
Occasionally all sources of cOrrec-
ton fail. and for that reason, a semi
occasional check is made with the
secretaries of the leagues, who are

THE popularity of these early games
was that the ball. when in play, was
not thrown with the hand but struck
by the hip, around which the player

in almost constant action, were not for
amateurs but professionals. Thus,

The career of Freddie Welsh, the

Persistence wins

1t has been a tough old fight for
Freddie. Many a time he was on
the verge of quitting. 1t seemed
well-nigh impossible to get bout
with Ad Wolgast or Willie Richie.
But at last he cornered Willie and
carried off the laurels.
Though born in Wales, the new
champion might almost be called an
American. He came to- this country
as featherweight wrestler in 1905.
Up to that time he had never boxed.

standings.
Checking with other papers has
proven unsafe, and is avoided. Very
frequently, the larger metropolitan
dailies, whose reports are conducted
under less careful system, are
found to be wrong, where The Re-
publican is right.
One of the quickest methods OF
discovering error is to add the games
won and the games lost, and if the
totals do not check, then there is a
mistake somewhere, for a league as
a whole must lost a game for each
game won.

THREE SEPARATE PENNANT
HOPES ENJOYED BY CHICAGO

The Chifeds, the baby" of Chica
COS baseball family. are setting the
hottest kind of a pace in the Federal
league. A short time ago Baltimore
looked to have the Fed pennant cinch-
ed, but just when the race became
good and hot the Terrapins cracked
and the Indianapolis Hoosiers jumped
into first place. After few days at
the top the Hoosiers were ousted from
first place by the Chifeds and it is now
up to the Tinkerites to stick around
drops in october.
One disconCerting feature of the
Chifeds' triumph (if they do any tri =
umph stuff is the fact that they will
be unable to declare themselves in on
share of the worlds series money.
The National and American league
pennant winners will take good care
of the coin that comes from the big
series. Still. the Fed moguls may fat
ten IN the bank roll of their winning
team, which would help some.
Birdie" Cree, Claude Derrick and
Jay Kirke are three of the most sensa =
tional 'comebacks" of the season.
When this trio was cast adrift by ma
jor league clubs little or no attention
was given to their fate. They had
dropped out of the fast set and were
headed for the minors. But now it's q
different story. All three accomplish
ed wonders with the teams to which
they were sent and now are back in
the big yard again
The New York Americans sold Cree
to the Baltimore Orioles for 81, 500 and
gladly paid $1,000 to get him back.

ternational league batsmen with an av-
erage of 1853 Claude Derrick also was

who figured that he was through in the
big show. Derrick did great work in
the field for the Orioles and hit for
