| the White Sox are not composed Of the

ton will give the best accounts OF
their full strength In the field. Chi
cago has been more erratic generally
throughout the season.
I have had MANY an argument lately
a. to the relative merits Of the catch
ing in the American and national
Leagues. The catchers Of our circuit
have been impeached because OF the
far greater percentage OF stolen bases.
I DO not believe this impeachment just.
| There are as fine backstops In our
league as can be found In the parent
major. I think I could 60 right down
the line and match them man for man.
, , There Is no better catcher anywhere
than Ray Schalk, of the White Sox.
He may not hit with Snyder, OF the
Ca rdinals. but in no other line OF en-
deavor will he suffer by comparison.

! NV loyalty for the American league
may excuse my presumptions that there
is more speed In our circuit than IN the
number of stolen bases Is true
criterion Of this difference. In the year
since the war between the two majors
| both sides have been equally favored
| In the matter Of recruiting. II Is not
to be expected that one or the other

Bert GaIIia Succeeds in Max

Seasons Contract.

DETROIT, Aug. 2.-ManaGer Griffith
is busy now signing up his players to
1916 contracts. Bert Gallia. the success
full young pitcher. Is the first to aff'x his
signature to the official papers. tut It
took q week of backing and filling be-
fore he did so. Gollia believes he did
not get enough money to pitch for the
Grifrmen this season. and did not mean
to sign at the same figure for next Yaar.
Gallia shares with Johnson the dis
tinction OF being the most effective
twIr!er with the team. He has won his
fair share of games and. had he been
given any hitting support he would not
have lost half as many games rs he
has The youngster is an intelligcn:
fellow who must he shown every time.
When Manager Griffith first sought to
have Galla sign for another year. he
was surprised to find that Gallia had his
own ideas Of his worth to the ball club:
These ideas did not jibc with those held
by the boss. However. finding Gallia
determined to carry his point. Griffin
had to surrender, and the young Iexon

JACKSON'S PRICE IS
INTERESTING PUBLIC
Varied Amounts Of Money Re.
ported to Be Given, and
Players in Addition.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Aug. H.-Cleve-
much the Indians were to get for Joe
Jackson, sold to the Chicago White
sox yesterday One report had It 1ls.-
CO., another S25, 900.
In addition. Cleveland is to get three
Of the White sox players. not yet Sc
lected by somers.
sluEger Joe vas TO appear in the Chi
cago lineup today. Somers reniged on
the sale Of Shortstop Ray Chapman,
saying ne hopes 10 build up new team
with Chapman as foundation. De-
troits bid for Chapman was turned
down. Washington's offer OF $4,000 and
two players for Jackson was rejected
because Somers could not see the play
ers Griffith offered.
The announcement OF the proposed
sale Of jackson comes on the heels OF
the information issued last night that
Jackson had been signed to an iron-clad
contract for the seasons Of 1sl7-ls. This
step was preliminary to his sale, II Is
said. and was taken to enhance his
value as a prospect.
jackson Is the leading batsman OF the
Cleveland team, and the move Is re-
Rarded as being made to assist In meet
Ing the financial situation In which
owner Charles w. Somers hnds him
self as the result of losing large
amounts Of money during the past two
seasons because OF the poor showing OF
his club.
Somers affairs are now In the hands
Of q committee of bankers. jackson
came to Cleveland from New Orleans In
1910 and has been one Of the best bat
tiers in the league ever since.
