{ New York, April 9.-Unless all dope
fails; unless fate kicks a hole in arith-
metie; unless something Just as bad hap
pens, the worlds series next fall should
be lurid, internecinc struggle between
/ the Chicago White Sox aud the New
York Giants. The fight viii be on next
/ Wednesday.
] Bringing it down to final, gnat s.
( fur calculation it must be admitted that
/ in spite of the record OF the Boston
Braves, the Yale football team, Dave
FultZ, and that other David, the grand
old dope usually sticks out all over the
result in the long run. 1t is the arith-
metical solution Of a problem that
stands up for all time. The young man
who attempts to pick 'em backward
usually falls down on the job.
Hence it is the intention to record the
reasons why the New York Giants and
the Chicago White Sox should fight it
out for the long and short ends of a
baseball series next fall.
Some one said not so long ago that
temperament is due to break or make
the Giants. 1t was pointed out that,
with Benny Kauff, Heinie Zimmerman,
Dacy Robertson, Charley Herzog and
one or two others, a first-class opera
troupe in thinklings could be con-
scripted out of the Giants ranks. 1t
was declared that it all depended upon
how the base-hits lined up and how the
hair was rubbed.
That may be true Certain it is that
no one ever had the good fortune to get
along with Heinie Zimmerman for very
long. However, John McGraw has been
subduing dispositions for long time,
and his success with Benny kauff in
ironing the kinks out Of thar young
man will bear more than passing scru-
tiny.
The Giants will line up with Holke on,
first base, Herzog on second, Fletcher
at shortstop, and Zimmerman at third.
In the outfield will be George Burns,
Benny Kauff and Robertson. Behind
the plate McGraw has arrayed Rari
den, Mccarthy and Gibson. Pitchers
will be Schupp, Tesreau, Sallee, Ander-
son, Perritt, Smith and others with rep
utations. Honus Lobert and recruit
or so will take care of utility duty,
while Jim Thorpe and Red Murray both
probably will be retained for outer gar
den extra work.
There g lineup that presents one of
the most startling rows of swatters
ever gathered together under one man
agement in the National league. Nc
Carthy,, Kauff, Holke, Robertson, Bim-
norman, Fletcher, and Herzog are pow
erful swatters and of the consistent
kind To back this up, the National
leagues premier southpaws will inhabit
the rubber pitching slab
Temperament, viewed from this
angle, will have little to DO with it, 1t
is difficult to see how such an array of
talent could run into slump depressing
enough to take away the punch.
As for the White Sox-it's a longer
road. Clarence Rowland has had his
chance with virtually the same lineup
that he started with this year, and no
world S series has graced the Comiskey
table since Rowland took charge.
Rowland has a great pitching staff
provided he can get going Red Faber
should be ready for another fine sea
son; Jim Scott is doing an effective
comeback; Eddy Cicotte is due for lots
of good days; Joe Benz hasn t been sick
this winter and Reb Russell is having
luck with his left wing. Mel Wolfgang
is a hearty HEAVIER and Williams will
help him out,
Rowland can line up Happy Felsch,
Joe Jackson and John Collins, slug !
ging trio, as proof of outfield strength,
with Jacques Fournier for pinch duty.
Eddie Collins will have a good season.
Buck Weaver will be at third base. The
weak points are first and shortstop.
Much dependence win be placed in Ray
Schalk, premier catcher.
