Quandary of Nationalist White Have EDGE
White Sox May Have
Edge in Final Rush
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

CHICAGO. Aug. s.-If the Red
Sox and White Sox are fighting
anywhere on even terms when the
last International series begins In
this league. the Windy City outfit
will have a distinct advantage. for
the East tackles the West out here
during the last month OF the 1915
campaign. And II It comes down
to any single series. the Mackmen
may present the pennant honors
to Comiskey's team. The Mackmen
seem but a football to be kicked
around by the White Sox.
OF the Western clubs. not even
the Brownies seem weak before
the worlds champions. This means
that Carrigan's clan will have no
soft spots on their final swing
around the circuit. 1t will be fight,
fight, fight every day.
Chicago fans have gone crazy
over the work of the South Siders
and many bets have been made
that Comiskeys team Will nose out
the Red Sox for the pennant. No
pennant has come to the White
Sox since 1906 and the town 10 ripe
for a victory.

What Will He Dot

Will Freddie Welsh defeat Char
lie White In Denver Labor Day?
Twenty rounds to a decision 10 far
different from ten rounds with no
decision even when facing Benny
Leonard for that ten rounds.
Charlie White is the hardest hit
ting lightweight now in the ring.
He has long contended that he
could knock out Welsh In q
twenty-round battle. He will get
his chance Labor Day.
Welsh has been a most unpopular
champion because of his unwill-
ingness to risk his title against
good men. Never has he fdced q
contender when the latter had an
even chance at the victory. The
challengers have all been held in
with side agreements that prac-
tically prevented their possible
winning.
What will Welsh do in Denver?
Will he seek to outlook the Chi
cago boy? VIII he risk roughing
II, giving Whites pile driving left
a chance to do Its deadly WORK?
Much depends on the referee. II
