WHITE SOX ARE AGAIN
BATTLING The ENEMY

The pace-making White SoK start
ed their final drive for the American
League pennant today at Detroit,
where they faced the hard-hitting
Tigers.
The Chicagoans are eight full
games ahead of the fading Red Sox,
the longest lead they have held this
season, and IL appears that nothing
can stop them from winning the PEN
nant now.
During the past four days the White
Sox have been loafing because OF a
break in their schedule, but while
idle they have gained ground on
Boston. Last Monday, the first of
four off days for Rowland's men. Cht-
cago held q lead OF seven games. To-
day they are one more game to the
good.
The fact that Boston has failed to
take advantage of several recent op-
portunities to cut down the lead Of
the White SoI makes II appear GER
tain now that Chicago will be able to
cInch the pennant during the coming
week.
Boston Is still in the fight, and
fighting hard to win, but the Red SoN
of today are not the same powerful
team they were last year and the year
before. The Red Sox are going back.
Chicago has already edged them out
of the limelight-

Joe Gedson went to bat hve times
and made two singles and a double.

Fight games now separate the lead

to win are rapidly passing.

son has been opposed to that practice
for several years. As q former news
paper man himself, Ban IL well aware
that few players could write fivs para
graphs OF the stories carrying their
names.
The style in the past has been for
large newspapers to hire the use OF q
players name and then assign q trained
sport writer to shadow the star. talk
to him about the game. especially the
finer points. and then write yards and
yards OF expert dope"
80 long as the real writer was con-
BerVative, all went well. But In sew
eral cases in recent years the real
writer got the star into serious trou-
BILE with his criticisms OF players In
the series. Rubs MArquard. Johnny
McGraw, Bill CArrigan. and Chief
Myers were credited with criticisms
in this way that made soreness
among their mates for months. So,
aside from the players compelled to
turn down anywhere from $500 to
81 900 for lending their names, the
major league players will be salts
fed with Ban Johnson's ruling.
Won't Grant Protest.
It's a safe bet that Jim Dunn's pro-
test will not be granted by Ban
johnson.
Umpire Owens forfeited a game to
the White Sox because the Cleveland
players were deliberately delaying
the game" Dunn. president OF the
Cleveland club, holds that Steve
o'NeilTs throw to the outfield might
have deIavad fha Uama hut that the
CLUB as a whole should not be pun
ished for the deed OF a single player"
Owens forfeited the game only
after the Indians had delayed the
game fully ten minutes, according to
reports from Chicago. Inasmuch as
johnson always supports his umpires
when II comes to their use OF judg-
ment, II IL difficult to see what
chance Dunn has OF having that
game played over.

Few Washingtonians will see the
1917 worlds series. In New York
the officials Of the New York club
are planning to sell all tickets at the
Polo Grounds, paying no attention to
requests for reservations through
the mails. In Chicago Comiskey's
club will take care Of Windy City
fans before considering applications
from anybody else
In past years, with the series
wholly in the East, many WASHING
ton fans have obtained tickets, and
have witnessed games played in Phil
adelphia, New York, Boston, and
Brooklyn. 1t is unlikely hat many
would care to make the long journey
to Chicago, but they would find it
possible to see the games at the
Polo Grounds, could they get the
necessary pasteboards. Now this is
rendered practically impossible.
The Giants have quite enough fol-
lowers in New York to pack the Polo
Grounds for a worlds series. Un-
doubtedIy metropolitan fans will
grab all the available tickets to see
the Giants battle the White Sox, the
ancient rivalry between the country's
two largest cities being quite as
warm now a. ever before.
Would End SeaIping.
The purpose OF the pennant-win-
ming clubs this year is TO make I'M
possible any ticket scalping. Scan
dals have arisen before over the dis
appearance OF large blocks of seats.
which afterward sold at greatly In
creased prices. Empty places in the
stands in Brooklyn. New York, and
Boston have betrayed the wide work
ings of numerous ticket scalpers.
Ban johnson is determined that this
condition will not obtain this year,
II he can prevent It
However, 1t is upon the big league
fans of other cities that the blow
will fall the hardest. For instance,
st. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit, Cleve-
land, and Pittsburgh have many big
league followers who could easily
make the jump to Chicago for the
series games there. They will be
unable to get any tickets until Chi
caEo has been provided.
In the East. Boston, Philadelphia,
and Washington have many fans who
could find II possible to see the games
at the Polo grounds. The decision OF
the Nav York club cuts them on
from much hope Of being in for the
big show.
