NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-When the Chicago
Americans and the New York Nationals,
respective winners of their league cham
pionships, meet in the opening game Of
the 1917 World Series at Comiskey Park.
Chicago, tomorrow, the contest will bring
together teams of virtually equal offensive
and defensive strength. So far a 1t i
possible to ascertain in advance there i
little if any advantage in favor of one or
the other combination. An analysis of the
work Of the individual players and the
teams As units shows that If there i a
preference in one division this margin of
strength is counterbalanced by the oppo-
nents' edge in another department of the
play.
Both the White s;ox and the Giants are
clubs Of unusual calibre with brilliant
Young players holding down certain posi-
tons while older and veteran profession
ais, scattered throughout the combinations
steady the teams and give that touch of
experience necessary to perfect any ma
chine. If there j. any outstanding adj
vantage which will count in the contest Of
the next few days it may be that the pre-
ponderance of PLAYERS who have taken
part in previous World Series will favor
the New York Giants. Even this j. prob
lematical. however. for the history of this
baseball classic l. not wanting in exam
pies where youthful PLAYERS. unnoted by
fame, have proved the stars and deciding
factors ia the battle for the inter- league
championship.
From every angle Of comparison the
conclusion is reached that the series about
to begin will prove one of the most exert
ing and closely fought since these contests
were taken in charge by the national com
mission in 1905 and made an annual eli
max to the baseball season. \ study 81
the records Of the players and the teams
in their respective leagues develops tn
fact that so far "a figures and average
can disclose there i little margin Of ad
vantage for either club. Taking the per
sonnet Of the teams a they are expecte'
to enter the battle the statistics show tina
the Giants are u trifle stronger in hIttinl
while the White Sox have a few points I'll
better Of the fielding. The National leagu
standard bearers appear to have tn eedg
in double plays but the Chicago combina
ton offsets this with more stolen bases
indicating greater speed upon the bas
lines.

play that the winning Of the first gam

China Asks U.S.Advice
On Opening of Ports
To Armed Vessels
Japan Putting Guns on Ships
to Meet Threat Of German
Raiders in Pacific

Washington, March 3.-Possible eX'
tension of German naval warfare TO
the Pacific was forecast to-day in an
inquiry by a Chinese Legation official
at the State Department as to what
this country had done on the armed
ship problem. 1t was stated that the
issue shortly would confront China,
and that the experience of this country
in meeting it would be Of value. 1t Is
presumed that China wants to know
how TO treat Japanese armed merchant
men entering Chinese ports.
Some time ago the japanese En-
bassy here asked the State Department
as to passage through the Panama
Canal by Japanese armed ships. These
ships touch at Chinese ports.
There has been deep agitation IN
Japan because of the sinking by sub
marines OF japanese vessels in the
Mediterranean and the fear of armed
raiders entering the Pacific. A short
time ago the "Nichi Nichi," a leading
japanese paper. reported that such a
raider had sunk two British vessels
in the south Indian Ocean. Insurance
rates at once went up, and means OF
protection were FASTENED.
