IT'S NIP and TUCK
Infields of Worlds Series Con.
tenders Evenly Matched.
Collins and HerZOg Are the
Shining Stars.
tBY JACK VEIoCK.)

New York, Sept. 27.-A comparison
of the White Sox and Giant infielders,
whose work in the coming world
series will be highly important, re-
veals that there is little to choose
one way or the other if figures are
to be taken as a basis for sizing them
up.
Figures never lie, we are told, yet
no set of figures ever compiled has
anything else but mechanical ability
on the field of play. For instance,
the batting, fielding and base-running
figures do not show that Eddie Col
Inns is a lightning thinker or that
Charley HerZog is one of the smart
est ball players in the game. Neither
do they show that Artie Fletcher,
Buck Weaver or Heinfe Zimmerman
are players who have an abnormal
abundance of fighting spirit.
So all that can be gotten from the
average covering the greater part of
the present season is a line on the
mechanical ability of the rival in
fielder who will clash in the world S
series this fall, and because up-to-
the-minute fielding figures are una
valuable, and batting averages do not
indicate what the players may do in
a seven game series, much must be
taken from observations of the work
races.
Holke VS.. Gandil.
At first base it appears to the writer
that Holke may be counted on to
stand off Chick Gandil. Holke is the
poorer fielder of the two, but during
the present season he has learned
much about playing the bag that he
never knew before, and, although he
may waver at times, he does not lose
his head. Holke is Gandil's superior
at the bat, for he has been hitting
around 900 of late, while Gandil turks
around the .270 mark Gandils long
experience is a point in his favor, but
all in all it looks like fiftyfifty.
At second base the White Sox must
be given the edge. Eddie Collins is
an all-around better player than Buck

KANSANS STAND HIGH
Only 800 Rejected Out of $500 in Ma
tional Guard Here.

Much has been said about physical
disqualifications of men for the army
but according to the report today of
Major N. E. Martin, federal examin-
ing officer who has charge of inspec-
ton of the national guard, the men

diers in Army Cantonments.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Contracts

ment for immediate delivery to the
soldiers in the training camps in this
country, have been awarded here to
four sporting goods firms by Clark
Griffith, manager of the Washington
Americans, and director of the SOL

Manager Griffith explained that the
equipment will be divided between the

and the sixteen national guard camps.
Additional funds for equiping the SOL
diers are necessary, Director Griffith
said, and special appeals have been
made to baseball followers thruout the
country.
Collections for the fund will be TAX

Chicago and New York clubs, as well
as the national commission, have

Herzog, and, though both men are
quick thinkers, who know baseball in
side out. Collins is a split-second the
fastest in the use of gray matter.
Collins is also a better hitter. He has
been outhitting Herzog by more than
fifty points, and because of Herzog'S
spinal injury, which may eventually
force him to retire from the game as
a regular, his fielding effectiveness
cannot be compared to that of the
Hghtning-fast, sure-footed Collins.
Shortstop Talent.
The Giants will even up the count
at shortstop, however. Artie Fletcher

as sure a fielder, though a step lower,

| infield, because they are sure fie1ders
and because they fight till the last

fence and his hitting, not to mention
his ability to take throws to the key
stone sack and put the ball on the
runners, gives him the call
And now comes the closest COMPARE
son of all--that between Heinie Zim-
norman and George Weaver, who, it
| is expected, will be fit as a fiddle and
as full of fight and ginger as ever by
the time the big series starts. Here
are two players whose work around
third base is both brilliant and con-
sistent. There are many critics who
will say that Weaver is the better
/ fielder, yet Zimmerman has perform
ed better this year as a fielder than
ever before, and makes some wonder
fully flashy stops. The only point
against Zim is his temperament, for
he is a player who is liable to go up
in the air under fire from the oppos-
| ing bench, because he is prone to lose
his temper. Weaver is a fighter, too,
but much more level-headed than the
Great Zim.
AS a batsman Zimmerman has
shown himself to be some twenty
| five points better than Weaver on the
season, but the Chicagoan is always a
dangerous man with the bludgeon, and
both players have taught the pitchers
| of opposing clubs to respect them in
the pinches OF the two Zim hits the
ball hardest and farthest when he
| gets a toe-hold.
On the Bases.
In base running the White Sox in
| fielders are superior, but the Giants,
as a whole, are perhaps better rough
and-ready hitters. and they lack moth
ing in the line of ginger. If Weaver
| does not play in the big series the
Giants will have an edge, for McMul-
| len is not to be compared with Zim-

WORLDS SERIES PLAYERS
Who's Who in Big Diamond Classic
of the Year.

FRED, ANDERSON-This young
man was a bear when in the Federal
league. With Bill Rariden he formed
the star battery of that circuit. His
spitballs, however, have lasted on an
average of about six innings in the
National league. His effectiveness for
a few innings never has been ques-
toned, but his ability to blow sud-
denly, disastrously and unexpectedly
may keep him from doing more than
relief work in the big series. He is a
capable Highlander while his stuff
lasts.
AL DEMAREE-Alis a cartoonist.
which should change the luck around,
but hasn't. Al is the luckiest man in
baseball, not excepting Jack Berry or
any of the others who have earned
the title of -luckiest. John McGraw
took AL into the big leagues, but got
tired of having him around along in
1914, so stuffed him off to Philade1-
ph1a, where he got in on the pie when
Philadelphia won the National league
pennant. After Al left the Giants he
made it his ambition in life to trim
the Giants often and effectively. He
did it with such precision and regular
lty that the impression prevails that
McGraW came to the conclusion he
would have been better off if he had
kept the big Highlander, so he trad
ed Pete Ki1duff, one of the infield
finds of the year, to Chicago and got
AL back. AL is still there throwing
baseballs with his right hand and
chewing big black cigars with his front
teeth.
FERDINAND SCHUPP-This youth
is the most brilliant achievement John
McGraw has offered the baseball pub
lie for many a year. He flashed right
into the hall of fame almost in sin
gle stride last summer when he ne
gotiated a huge share of the Giants
record breaking run of victories
Schupp is endowed with a slender.
but good physique and is able to stand
lots of hard work. His home is in
Louisville He does his heaving with
his left hand, and did it only in small
bits before he finished a sentence of
three years on the bench.
RUDE BENTON-Rube almost
came into and went out of the big
leagues without ever a chance to show
what whiz he could be. He was
with Cincinnati SO long he had to
threaten to quit baseball before any
one would believe he really could do
extraordinary curvings. His eccen-
tricities, however. finally landed him
with the Giants, where he has become
a part of the temperamental gang
McGraw holds in check. Benton has
been the most effective southpaw in
the National league this year and has
been the Giants most consistent win

CHILDREN'S HOUR

Story at the Orpheum Saturday
Morning.
GALLAGHER"

Gallagher is fighter by birth,
young detective by choice and news
paper boy by necessity.
A millionaire has been murdered, and
his secretary has disappeared with the
cash. A $1,000 reward is offered and
the newspaper staff discusses how the
criminal will be caught. Since one fin
ger of his hand is missing, Gallagher
believes that the criminal will always
wear gloves, with the missing finger
stuffed.
A secret service man appears at the
office and becomes the boys hero. The
detective is amazed at his knowledge
of criminals, and takes an interest in
him.
Gallagher runs into the criminal and
traces him to a prize fight. Meanwhile
he gets fired for being away from the
office. He gets the sporting editor and
the detective, and all hide in the barn
where the fight is coming off. The
crowd comes in, and with it comes the
criminal. The police raid the place.
the detective gets his man, and the re-
porter isa pinched with the rest of the
bunch Gallagher slips away with the
story. races away to the office, and
gets. the story in just as the forms are
closing.

laid on system of play. Recently liar yard men have been in demand, be- cause of the uniform success of the Haughton system. but this yead the record of Pittshurg, under Warner, has focused attention upon the athletes who represented that university upon the gridiron. It is not surprising to find that Bob Peck. captain of last years Pitt team-one of the best elevens ever developed in the history of the sport-and Kendall Soppitt, it's star guard. have been signed to spread the Warner school of football at other institutions. Peck will be coach of all athletic sports at the Culver Military Academy and Soppitt line coach at the University of Georgia next fall.
 Peck was one of the best centers of all time as well as one o6 r11e greatest leaders the game has ever known. A friend of the writers met Pop Warner, the Pittsburg football tutor, on the streets of Pittsburgh two years ago when he was gettirg the 1915 Pitts burg team pointed for it's first year of victory The talk drifted to Peck and Warner was asked what he thought of him.
 'Tt's like this," he replied. When Peck is feeling good the team is feel ing good and wher Peck is off his game the team is off it's game"
 Peck was a natural leader whose personality and aggressivness- on the field had much to do with the Suc- cess of the splendid machines Warner developed at Pittsburg the past two years, his first at that institution.

 Leading industrials and rails rose one to two points during the early trading, With gains of as much or considerably more among specialties, but an abrupt reversal set in on heavy selling of utilities, chiefly gas and traction issues. which later extended to telephone and telegraph shares. and became more general in the last hour. Advices came from Washington which outlined the radical policy of the gov ernment toward industrial corporations In connection with comprehensive e plan for the upbuiIding of an Aneri- can marine service.
