Sox and Giants Evenly Matched Except :
In Pitching, South paws Figure vitality
Three P0rtSiderS on Each Club
Who Will Bear 6runt of
Big Battle

Rowland has Ray Schalk, whom We
admit is one grand old backstop. Ray
however, has one weakness and that
is pulling this l. w. w. stuff in a
pinch-in other words doing d stNke'
out in the most approved or as the
case may be. the most disappr0Ved
fashion. His batting average is only
.o26. while both Lew Mccarthy and
Bill Rariden of the Manhattan mob
are batting about 300. Rariden will
probably do the work during the Sc
rics, and as a hitter with men on bases
Bill is the bully boy with the bis
bludgeOn.
Inside Gardens
Taking up the infield each team has
a million dollar crew. The Giant
quartet. OF Holke, Herzog, Zimmerman
and Fletcher is batting about ,264
which is about three points above the
Chfsox set of Gandil, Ed Collins
Weaver and Risberg. AS to fielding
both infields are almost on par with
perhaps just a shade to the Giants
WHO depend on team work and Her
zOg's GUESSING abilities. 1t is lucky
thing that HerZog gets fined for only
what he says and not what he thinks
of umpires At that there's a lot Of
folks who envy him. The most We
ordinary people get in that line is
fine of two cents for keeping boot
| away a day over time from the public
! library.
In the Tall Grass
In the outer gardens, Robertson
| Kauff and Burns of n. V, compare
| we'll with Jackson. Felsch and Liebolt
! of Chi. Burns and Kauff are botf
over the 300 mark in batting while
! o2iy FeIsch on Rowlands wrecklns
crew is near that mark. Robertson
| is far above LiebOld and is not IA
from Jackson. Again as to fielding
both trios are just as fast and keen az
| thu fans could ask for. There is little
| to pick between them in this res
! pect
| And there you have it. And that /:
why the Grandoldope is spilling The
Beans for the Chisox and spilling then
| into the lap of the Fasteners. The
series depends on the work of the
southpaws and it is the first series CT
| record where the question Of victor!
or defeat really rested with the port
siders.
| Grabbing the Act
There are a lot of fans who follow
the Grandoldope until the series il
over and then if the Grandoldop'
gives them a dig in the Stats the!
proceed to present the umpires will
hand-embossed chimney, one bricl
| at a time. They're the same kind o
goofs who are ready to make mint
bets up to a million dollars, but wheI
| it reaches the point where they have
! to come across with the dough the!
don't belong to the bakers union
They're the kind of close friends tina
are always close when you want t
| borrow, and if they can't pick a win
ner they pick the winner to pieces
Just to wind things up we'll give yol
feeble fable: always upon a time
there was a dyspeptic skulled far
whose specially was cumming thu
parade. He suffered from cranial in
digestion and all he ever saw was TIT
! curd in the milk of human kindness
He extracted his merriment from lift
/ by mucilaging the procession anC
! scratched home runs in sand but cary
ed the boots in granite. If he appre
hended any genial chfnned gent sug
! costing that certain team might viii
the series he would toss the gooe!
stuff upon the mardi gras. To hin
every rock was a bloomer and eve
vet dogmeats He glued the cavalcad,
to the last and passed away regret
ting that he couldn't pour paste OF
his own cortege" Moral: Every por
! cupine hasn't got quilts.
