ALONG WAIT
FOR COMMY
Owner of White SOx Has Tried
for Eleven Years to Win
Pennant.
BY JACK vEIOCK.


NEW YORK. sept 29.-After a
span OF IL years. the Chicago White
Sox are about TO enter another
worlds series under Charley Comls-
key. the venerable "Old Roman" Of
base ball.
Back in 1906 the famous Hit
less Wonders managed by Fielder
Jones. captured the American
league pennant for Comiskey and
then licked the Cubs in the worlds
series
Since that time the silver-haired
Chicago magnate has been striving
10 win further honors, but year aft
er year his teams we're beaten out,
several times by the narrowest Of
margins. No club owner in the
game has spent as much money for
ball players in the last II years as
Comiskey, yet ne has taken defeat
like a game sport and has never
failed 10 come back for more
\ Great Team.
He is now preparing 10 enjoy the
fruits OF a victory ne rightly deserves.
for the team ne has gotten together
won an American league Dennant
and critics are agreed that II will
do itself proud I'm the coming
worlds series against the Giants.
No club owner In the game today
has a more loyal following in his
home city than Comiskey. The fans
OF Chicago swear by him, and he
has a host Of friends throughout the
country who viii glory in his sue
cess.
COmiskey deserves much of the
credit for the success Of the Amer
lean league. It was the old Roman
who put a shoulder 10 the wheel
Elong with Ban Johnson in the for
nation OF the league in the winter
OF 1899. and when the National
league finally agreed to peace terms
Il was Comiskey who helped dictate
them.
a Great Player.
Old-timers remember Comiskey
during his days as a player with
the famous St Louis Browns. who
captured four straight pennants. He
was one OF the greatest fielding
hrstbasemen the old days develop
ed. and he was the first player 70
Introduce the style OF fielding the
position that is prevalent today.
Back in 1887 Comiskey surprised
the critics by playing deep, so that
he could field hard-hit ground balls
that we're too close TO the foul line
for the second baseman. The style
has been used ever since.
Hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
will change hands with the playing
OF this years worlds series.
The big series OF the past have
always attracted countrywide inter
est. and much money has been
wagered from year 70 year, but this
fall. with the country's two largest
cities represented, there is going TO
be a greater wave Of interest in the
games than ever before.
They'll Go Strong.
New York fans are prepared to
back the Giants clear down 10 the
family plate Chicago fans will bet
everything down 10 their soX that
the Write Sox win.
There is no way Of telling how
much money will be wagered. for
only the largest bets Will be given
publicity, but it is safe 10 say that
more than "a million dollars will
charge hands when the last game is
played.
Attendance figures are not expect
ed TO fall unless the series should
go TO seven or eight games, but ac-
cording 20 baseball men 10000
fans will witness the first four
games.

Find Bomb "Factory."

Superior, Nov. DEMONSTRATION of
the discovery of stick of dynamite
by boys playing in an outlying and
sparsely settled district of the city on
Monday resulted in the uncovering by
the police of a plant which had been
the scene of much nitroglycerin max
ing. Whether for the liquid used by
yeggmen or for bombs has not as yet
been determined, but an effort is being
made to connect the discovery with the
killing of several persons at Virginia,
Mimi, last week. More than dozen
sticks of dynamite and the refuse of
many dozen more used in making the
so-called "soup" were found. The spot,
screened from the nearest road by
heavy bushes, was thicl1ly strewn with
the wrappings and packings of the ex-
plOSive.
