Here is where the big argument
starts.
Admirers Of the Great zim will rise
up on their hind legs and howl when
they see the figures that prove be-
yond doubt that Buck Weaver is a
better third baseman for the purposes
of this series than the ex-Cub, now
Giant Yet he Is
To tell the truth ! started compiling
figures on the third basemen who are
to engage in the Worlds Series with
the set idea that they would show
Zimmerman the better man. Instead,
they persisted in turning on Weaver
on inside ball, on base running, or
run getting. and on the finer points
of the defensive work. At that, the
figures show the two men rating close
together, and the dope, compared with
my dope OF two years ago and OF last
spring, shows that both men have
been steadily improving as ball play
ers.
Those who object to the compare
tive rating will not be the ones who
have watched Weaver play ball this
past season. He has been recognized
A. q good player ever since he Joined
the White Sox-a man of nerve AMI
courage and a lot of baseball sense
but never, until this season, has he
made good on the promise. He came
near being spoiled, because he was
carrying too many side lines that in
terfersd with baseball.
When he finally decided his bust
ness was to play baseball and devote
all his time and thoughts to It, he
made good at once. This season he
has been a transformed player. To
his work and TO his influence upon
other players, more than to any one
sible exception of Schalk) is due the
success of the club.
Not n "Smart" Ball Club.
You must know, II you have
studied the American League cham
pions carefully, that they cannot be
rated as a smart" ball club. This
does not necessarily mean the players
are unintelligent, because the smart
est man in the world may look like
a dummy on the ball field. But the
White Sox have not that nne hnIsh
and the quick thinking that usually
IL found In championship clubs. Some
OF them possess this spirit and the
brains TO direct and handle the stu
alton.
Schalk and Weaver have proved
themselves the real leaders OF the
team. with either out Of action. the
spirit OF the club seemed to ebb away
suddenly. True, late in the season
when Weaver was off with a broken

vicious drives than does his rival,
makes more sensational stops, but he
does not get the jump on a ground
ball as quickly, nor does he come in
or cut across in front OF the short
stop with as quick q start thinner
man Is q shade the better at throw
ing
Both Are Badly Placed.
I always have been OF the opinion
that neither OF these men should have
been third basemsn-that Is that their
talents are rather wasted in that 20
sition. A third baseman, averages
only about three and a third chances
per game through a season. while a
shortstop and second baSeman get
more than double that number of op-
portunities. 1t seems a shame for
men of their fielding ability to be in
a position where so few chances to
show that ability are offered. How
ever. do not rate the Importance of a
third baseman by the number of
chances he gets without considering
the kind of chances they are.
A drive that gets through a third
baseman, rolls onto foul ground and
along the stands, usually is worth two
or three bases, while a ball hit
second or short seldom goes
for more than one base. In stopping
those vicious drives down the line
that would be extra base hits. Zim-
has a shade the advantage,
and is entitled to the points ! have
added on that score.

build. and that the fans who want to
be friendly with ball players often
lead them astray.
All the time Zimmerman had a de
sire to play in New York. his home
He nursed that desire until, in the
end, 1t became a desire to get away
from Chicago. He felt misunderstood,
and. in a way. abused. 1t is certain
that several of the managers of the
Cubs did not understand Zim or know
how to handle him. They said he was
a hard man to handle. Foolishi Why.
IL I was unfortunate enough to be a
manager. I'd hire twenty-five Zims and
manage them without trouble. And,
oh. boy. what a time we'd have!
McGraw evidently knows exactly
how to manage Zim. He has had
Zim IL getting older. he sees the little
blunders into which he was led, or
into which he leaped. He is a much
improved ball player. or his worst
old traits, only one remains. and that
is tendency TO run wild on the
bases.
Great Things Expected.
Zimmerman is liable to cut a large
figure in the coming series. The
White Sox pitchers think they know
his batting style, and woe be unto
any pitcher who gets that idea. ZIm
has learned to hit good balls, but he
still possesses that terrific wallop
when he takes a crack at q high or a
wide one. He drives with tremendous
power. and one wallop. such as he
makes. is very liable to upset a game,
or decide a series.
The Giants. for some reason. never
have been a base running ball club.
Evidently McGraw does not believe in
base running as a means OF run get
ting as a regular Giet. His team sac
rifices, plays hit and runs, and shifts
styles OF attack perhaps more than
any club in the country. McGraw
is resourceful. His base running
theory may be the reason for the
small number Of stolen bases Zim-
norman has accredited to him this
season. He has stolen about one third
Of what he used to steal with the
Cubs-and that may also account for
the small number OF bad breaks he
has made on the bases

but he runs with rare Judgment. and
