to the ability of Joe Jackson, al though Robertson is a much better fielder.
 Subs May Get Chance.
 Memo Liebold and John Collins are alternates in left or right field for the White Sox, with a possibil- ity that Murphy might take up the patrol. Liebold is so much better as a fielder and hitter, with far more baseball sense than Collins, that critics are often led to wonder why he isn't made a regular, to leave Collins for utility duty. It is probable he will get the bulk of the worlds series duty.
 Leibold doesn't measure up to Burns as a hitter nor in general usefulness, but is his equal as a fielder. Felsch tops Kauff in field ing, but their hitting is about equal Robertson is Jackson's SUI perior as a fielder, but probably will hit at the same gait.
 The Giant outfield should be an easy 300 hitting combination for the worlds series, with fielding ability to compare favorably with the White Sox
 The Sox outfield will not attain the hitting averages of the Giants, but will excel in fielding. The hit ting gives the Giants the edge.

PLAYER SCRIBE. HIT BY ORDER OF BAN JOHNSON.

The day of the playerscribe has passed.
 To the delight of fans and scribes alike, Ban Johnson, president of the American League, has announced that during the coming world se- ries there would be no such animal.
 During past worlds series half the ball players on the two con tending teams were so tied up with contracts, amanuenses, copy boys and the like that they had little time for the serious side of the se- ries.
 All that ends, however, and this seasons dope will be straight from the pens and typewriters of the baseball writers and will carry their own names.
 Johnson also announced that there would be one-day lapse be- tween each set of two games.
 The railroads presented sched- ules to the big leaguers calling for twenty-hour jump between Chica- go and New York, but rather than take chances of a delay and the consequent disappointing of the huge crowds expected, the American League head has decided the plan is impracticable.
 As a result it is reasonably safe to say that the first two games, Chi cago winning the toss, will be played October and in the Windy City, and the second two Oc- tober 9 and 10 in New York. Chi cago would then get another game October 12 and New York one Oc- tober IA, with the toss again de- ciding where the seventh game should be played, if it is necessary.
 Mai Gen. Thomas H. Barry, com mander of the Enghty-sixth Divis- ion of the National Army, and his aides will occupy a box at the games to be played in Chicago, as the guest of the American League. Major General Barry assisted in es- tabishing the military training program in the league last spring.

FIVE YARDS WILL MAKE DRESS FOR
 FRENCH WOMEN

PARIS, Sept 22 The Paris Dressmakers' Syndicate Chamber the association of all the chief hous- es has informed the government, in answer to an official inquiry, that the langth of wool cloth for dresses for the winter of 1917-1S will not exceed AZ metres, little less than five yards
 The director of one of the best known houses in Paris and London interviewed on this decision, which seems to foreshadow the continued use of short skirts and to insure the tailor-made costume as general wear, said:
 "The diminution of the length of cloth used in wool costumes has really been in effect since last sea son. Without any general agree. ment, merely under the pressure oi necessity, dressmakers had already restricted the amount used before the war by 25 per cent Army needs, in America as well as France and the diminished production in the two countries oblige Us to continue along these lines. Of course we shall make no attempt to get around the Chambers decision by ordering cloth of greater width; we sha.l rather try to employ a mixture Of materials, combining wool materials with silk or cotton velvet

 and Davy Robertson's slugging, give the Giants the predominance in out fielding If Joe Jackson was at the height of hitting he once enjoyed the comparison would reach a diff ferent result. However, he isn't, and the chances are he will show no unusual amount of hammering in the coming big games. George Burns is one of the games greatest outfielders. If there is man in the National League who compares favorably with Ty Cobb, Iris Speak CT and the clever outfelders in the American League it is the Giants sun felders.
 Burns All-Round Star.
 Burns, besides being 300 bats man and a fielder over whom it is almost impossible to drive hit, is the steadiest player in the Natinoal League Seldom does he see a slump. His work reaches a certain point each year and stays there He is remarkably fast thinker. Rival National Leaguers will at test to the numerous plays that he has victmized them with.
 Benny Kauff reached the National League proclaimed as a man who would rival Ty Cobb Benny didn't claim it himself, although he was generally credited with having done so. Bad press agenting got him a lot of publicity that hurt him dreadfully his first year with the Giants. Gradually he has shak- en this off until he stands now as a real National League star, made in the National League by McGraw's methods. Bennys hitting, always dangerous, is even more so now, for he has learned to wait for the good balls. His hitting will be the pre- dominating factor in the Giants worlds series playing unless he fol- lows in the footsteps of so many great players and turns out a worlds series fivver.
 Felsch Star Fielder.
 Penny and Happy Felsch form an excellent match. Each hits for about the same average. but Felsch is far the better fielder and possesses more baseball brains. It will be interest ing to watch the performances of these rivals.
 Dave Robertson has been called by John J. McGraw the greatest outfielder in the game if he cared to put enough energy into it. But Dave has failed to live up to this statement. A marvelously clever fielder and a hard hitter, always dangerous, he hardly measure up

these exhibitions. which will delight US

ever-increasingly successful products
of enterprising and public-spirited
men of our own community.
For over a quarter of century the
name of Gentry has been heralded far
and wide as the sterling mark of clean.
progressive and diverting tented
amusement. During those years. Indi-
ana people. and especially those of
this community, have watched the
Gentrys build a small but rneritorious
attraction into what is conceded by
the most conservative to be The
Greatest Show on Earth for Children. =
Hoosier folk have taken an honest
pride in the Gentry Shows and in the
Gentry circus ideals and we'll they
might. for these shows and these
ideals have been good, worthy and
wholesome.
Each year has witnessed some ad-
vance in some department Of the
Gentry organization. and this season
will witness more Improvement and
elaboration in these celebrated shows
than has any previous one.
Gentry Brothers have gone about to
surprise the home folk this season
and it can be stated that the exhibit
lions will prove q revelation even to
those persons most familiar with them.
Thirty years Of alert and discrimin-
ating showmanship have climaxed in
the assembly of an arenic program
that must stand as a classic in point

lative entertainment. a program that
sparkes with the freshness OF the un-
