: White Sox Are Smiling
Fate Never Permitted Any
Club to Win 3 Title Series
Western Fans Are Pulling Hard for Chicago
White Sox-Eight Years Since West Has
Landed in American League Circuit

The irascible fates have never
yet permitted any ball club to win
three world series in a row, and
they apparently have no intention
of rearranging the ancient schedule
this waning season. The classic
Cubs of 1906-'10. were unequal 10
the rugged assignment and the
equally classic Mackmen Of 1904
also crumpled before the three
year period. yet with all their amaz-
ing skill and speed and power
they were not able TO occupy the
world series throne room for three
straight years.
And then the Red Sox came. They
crushed the Phillies four games 10
one in lis. In 1916. minus Speaker
and with Barry injured, they won
a second pennant. and thwarted the
depressed Dodgers by the same Al
margin. Nineteen hundred and sew
enteen was then to be the test.
The Red Sox had but two old rivals
TO beat off-white Sox and Tigers.
They had dispersed both handily
for two years whenever the need
came to call out the reserves. Three
weeks ago. when the White SoX
suddenly collapsed and blew a FIVE
game lead within a week. the old
story seemed to be under way again.
But. as we remarked earlier in this
outburst, the fates have never yet
permitted any ball club TO win
three world series championships in
a row. In place Of sagging and
skiddinE. as they had done before
in other campaigns. the White Sox
rallied and fought their way back
to the old margin by September /.

they had defended SO well through

BAGBY, OF INDIANS,
REAL HURLNG STAR
jim Has Been Delivering Great
Pitching for Cleveland
This Year.
By BRIGGS

If the Cleveland Indians had a
quartet of Jim Bagbys to do their
pitching, owner Jim Dunn probably
would be sporting the American
League championship this fall.
At any rate, the Indians would be
much closer TO the coveted goal than
they have been most of the season
as the owners of third place, for
Jim Bagby's work on the rubber has
been the outstanding feature in
Cleveland's pitching.
"OId Sarge" as they call Bsgby
in CleTeland, is a past master in the
gentle art of controlling a baseball.
There are American League pitchers
who have more stun than Jim and
sharper breaking curves; there are
some who are his equal in hurting
a baseball where they want it. But
he doesn't have to don his skypiece
TO any of them.
In addition to control, Bagby has
a head on his shoulders which is a
storehouse of knowledge concerning
the weaknesses of American League
batters. He doesn't need a card in
deX in his league and never forgets.
One of the features OF Bagby's s
pitching lies in the fact that he has
won most of his games from the
strongest clubs. Out of a total OF
twenty victories he had scored up
to the middle of August, "Old
Sarge" recorded 60 per cent OF them
against the White Sox. Red SoX and
Detroit, and had taken a heavy toll
from the Athletics, a club which has
a mean habit of spelling a ball game
for a pitcher when he is going his
best.
Bagby has been pitching profes-
sional baseball since 1910, according
to the records. but his experience in
the big leagues has been limited. for
this is only his second full season
as a member OF the Cleveland club.
That he should be able TO learn so
much about the weaknesses OF Ameri-
can League batsmen in two years
time is remarkable, and he has a
nimble brain to thank for it. A men,
ber of the Red Sox recently said that
Bagby has the best control of any
pitcher in the American League,
which is a compliment well worth
while.
Since the exemption boards through
out the country settled down to WORK
in earnest, it has developed that
many athletes in various branches OF
sport have been turned down as unfit
for military service. Earl Craddock

White SOX SMILE At
FEAR OF SOUTHPAWS
Portsiders Used to Battle Comis-
keys Batters, But It's
Different Now.

Chicago, Sept 4-Eastern fans and
critics are kidding themselves about
the supposed weakness of the White
Sox They are figuring Comiskey's
men are weak against the pitching
of southpaws, and that McGraw-if
they meet in the title series-will
build up his defense around Sallee,
Benton and Schupp.
II Boston wins the American
League pennant. baseball followers in
the East believe John McGraw will
have to wait for his second worlds
championship. But il Chicago snares
the johnson flag. they deduce, CO.
miskey will have to wait for his Sec
ond worlds championship. The an
swer is generally held out that the
Red Sox are made up more closely
as a unit Of playing strength. where
as they are inclined to charge the
Chica goans with dull baseball at
times
1t has been proved the White Sox
are greatly handicapped when against
southpaw hurlers, and it is from this
angle that McGraw has built up his
greatest pitching defense. Schupp,
Sallee and Benton, the most success
ful New York gunners, work with
their offhands. Whether they would
be able to offset the efforts of Faber.
Cicotte. Williams and Russell is the
point from where arguments will
start. The Giant trio of southpaw
stars isn't figured as strong as Ruth,
Shore and Foster. That's what East
ern critics think.
Sox players are devoutly hoping that
the Giants still hold this view, If the
series actually takes place. They
trust and pray McGraw will use his
southpaws and hold back on men like
Tesreau and Demaree.
Games played thus far this season
indicate that the White Sox have a
peculiar fondness for the lefthand-
crs. They have taken Babe Ruth's
only middling success against them.
Mogridge, Cullop. Coveleskie and other
left handers-fully as great as Benton
and Salle-have had little luck against
the Hose.
All season-in spite of what Eastern
critics say-the White Sox have done
better against star left handed twirl-
ers than against good right handlers.
When a southpaw comes up he faces
these right handed hitters-all liable
to take a poke at the ball-John Col
Inns, Felsch, Gandil, Risbery and
Schalk. The other two regulars. Ed
die Collins and Jackson, can hit one
type of a pitcher as we'll as another.
Left or right handlers make no diff
ference to them.

OMAR KHAYYAM TO
RACE in MARYLAND
Strong Establishment to Be Shipped
From Saratoga to Havre
de Grace.

Saratoga Springs. n. Y. Sept. A.
Many of the metropolitan racing
stables that have taken part in
the Saratoga meeting will ship to
Belmont Park for a part at least
of the present Westchester Asso-
ciation's autumn meeting. Others
will ship direct from Saratoga to
Havre de Grace. where, on Septem-
ber IL, the Hartford Agricultural
and Breeders Association will in
augurate the season of autumn rae
ing in Maryland. with the running
of the Old Bay Handicap and half
a dozen other races.
One of the strongest of the es-
adjustments that will ship from
Saratoga to Havre de Grace is the
stable of Richard F. Carman. and
his son. Richard F. Carman, jr., are
training for Wilfrid Viau. a Cana
dian millionaire sportsman, and for
themselves. The elder Carman will
have one horse-Omar Khayyam-
at Belmont Park. and he will be
there for but one race-the Law
renee Realization. Immediately
after the running of the Realization
the winner of the Kentucky and
Brooklyn Derbys and the Kenner
and Travers Stakes will entrain for
Havre de Grace. where he has sew
eral engagements, the most impor-
tant being in the Havre de Grace
Handicap, to fill.
The horses that will he sent from
Saratoga direct to Havre de Grace.
in the charge of Carman are the
so, 600 Westy Hogan, a 3-year-old: the
campaigners Startling, G. NJ Miller,
and Skecrface and the 2-year-olds
Ideal. Duke of Connaught, Louise v.
and General Nivellea Westy Hogan.
which Carman believes can beat any
3-year-old in the country, barring
Omar Khayyam, is in everything for
which a 3-year-old could have been
nominated at Havre de Grace, and
he is in superb condition. Since his
last race at Saratoga he has worked
seven-eights of 4 mile in 1:26 is. He
will be the Viau candidate in the
Old Bay Handicap! Westy Hogan is
they have at Havre de Grace. OF
the other horses, the sprinter Start
ling is at the top of his form, and
he also likes Havre de Grace going.
while C. NJ. Miller. Nigel, King Bag
got. Skeerface and Amalgamator are
again ready for the colors.
Michael Daily. who is training now
for G. A. Muller, of Philadelphia,
and other horsemen. will race about
week at Belmont Park, and then
ship to Havre de Grace The best
horses in his stable are Flittergold,
distance runner of ability; Fen
mouse and the cross-country per-
former Curraghaleen.

the wrestler, for instance, was de-
clared physically unfit, as were
Tommy Gibbons. Heinie Groh and
many others.
The percentage Of ball players who
have failed to sack up 10 require
'ments is large. Flat feet have been
found very common among the pas
timers, and deformed hands, due TO
busted" fingers, have been the cause
of excusing a good many players who
were otherwise in superb physical
condition.
The low half-shoes worn by a ma
tority of ball players are responsible
for fiat wheels; tin ears have kept
