! supplying the lY0ry-but we have
bases full, PrunCilla, yes, We have
Now. don't tell us that all that
stands between the Giants and victory
is Chicago, and that all that prevents
you from being wealthy is money.
That's old stuff, DO, old stuff. Well
| tell you why the New Workers ought
to win and why Chicago ought to lose
| and then you can lay your money
where the fowl did Never let it be
said we killed the goose that laid the
golden egg.
About Chicago.
Turn our headlights on the Windy
City lads. What do they remind you
of? To us, they look like two o'clock
ball team. The boys that gallop around
like stars in the warm-up and then in
the show-up their winning streak turns
the color Of ripe papaia. Outside of
that there's some in the gang that are
cheating the pension homes out Of
patients. Some Of the early records
of these birds will never be known
because Noah was so darned careless
when the flood came along.
Then there are some on the team
that are still using their teething
rings instead of cut plug. It's won
der to us that Comiskey hasn't been
tried for violation of the child labor
law when we think of some of his
young players. Of course he's got one
or two on the team that are baseball
players. There's no denying that
fact, but a worlds series is a world S
series and not case of where one
man loses his form by getting hump
backed through carrying the rest of
the team on his shoulders.
About the Giants -
Reel number two will disclose IL
closeup of the worldfamed Giants
winners of the National league PEN
nant and should be yictors in the
coming worlds series. Youngsters
and oldsters full OF ginger, kick and
bad language, a couple of veterans to
flavor the mixture, dash of tabasco
sauce, that's Heinie Zimmerman and
leader in Muggsy McGraw that's got
Napoleon looking like a sandlot mag
nate and five pitchers that can fill
any bill. To season 1t all, there's
team work and fight in the gang from
the prexey OF the club to the last bat
boy. -.. +.
Sure thing! It's all over but the
shouting and take 1t from us, after
the series is over Wen be able to
spring that old gag about, "If it hadn't
been for the White Sox team, Chi
cago would have won the champion
ship"
The Leaders
Lamp the leaders! MeGraw against
Pants Rowland, nee Clarence. Who
ever heard of a guy named Clarence
winning a worlds series? But look at
Muggsy, winner of several series bat.
ties, clever, quickwitted and on top
of that aggressive TO the point of war.
Rowland has never had worlds series
experience. Looks to us like Nc
Graw's chances of beating Rowland
are as scarce as prunes in boarding
house. Never could understand Row
lands system, anyway. He is a man.
ager who ought to know better than
to try and SOW seed on a stony Maine
farm, yet he will harague his bali
players by the hour,
Third Weak
Military experts have figured it out
that the weakest sport on the Chisox
is the third base. We include short
stop. Risberg and McMullen are too
apt to wear pajamas while covering
their ground. For the Giants there's
Fletcher at short and Heinie thinner
mann at third. You don't need an IN
PRODUCTION to Heine and Fletcher is
the best short in Tener's circuit.
Outside of Johnny Evers, uInpires
know Zimmerman better than they
know their cashier that pays EN- their
salary and. as an orator in action he
has few equals. Usually there's two
umpires to a game but with thinner
man at third there will be three in
this series. If Heine goes through !
without being fined We won't be sur
prised to see the Giants lose. At bat |
he is walloping the pill for 300 and
running the bases as if he owned |
them.
We grant you that Buck Weaver of
the Chisox is the best shortstOp in the |
American League but it is unlikely |
that Buck will play on account OF |
wounds in the early gas attack of the |
season.
At the keystone sack whom have |
we? tWhy nobody else but our old |
college chum Charlie Herzog. He |
covers more fround than Collins for |
Chi. Eddie has no business on a ball |
field at his age. His grand children |
ought to look after him better than |
that. He was playing major ball when !
Sherman marched to the sea. Herzog |
who opened the season like a cripple |
IS going forward like a British tank |
in action. He doesn't care how many |
balls he knocks over the fence nova |
days. |
At First
Coming around to first base there is |
Holke, young, fast and clever. A |
southpaw, he can switch to the other !
