I II looks like ease OF skilled labor a
supplying the ivory-but We have b
bases full, Pruncilla, yes, We have.
Now, don't tell us that all that
! stands between the Giants and victory
| is Chicago. and that all that prevents
| you from being wealthy is money.
That's old stuff. DO. old stuff. Wen
tell you why the New Workers ought
to win and why Chicago ought TO lose
and then you can lay your money
| where the fowl did Never let il be
said we killed the goose that laid the
golden egg.
About Chicago.
Turn our headlights on the Windy
| City lads. What do they remind you
OFF, To us. they look like two o'clock
ball team. The boys that gallOp around
like stars in the warm-up and then in
the show-up their winning streak turns
the color of a ripe papaia. Outside of
that there's some in the gang that are
! cheating the pension homes out of
patients. Some of the early records
of these birds will never be known
because Noah was so darned careless
when the flood came along.
Then there are some on the team
that are still using their teething
rings instead Of cut plug. It's a. won
| der to US that Comiskey hasn't been
tried for violation of the child labor
| law when We think Of some of his
young players. Of course he's got one
/ or two on the team that are baseball
players. There's no denying that
fact, but a worlds series Is a world, s
series and not a case of where one
man loses his form by getting hump
backed through carrying the rest OF
the team on his shoulders.
About the Giants -.....
Reel number two will disclose Il
closeup of the .worldfamed Giants
winners of the National league pen.
nant and should be yictors, in the
coming worlds series. Youngsters
and oldsters full OF ginger, kick and
bad language, a couple of veterans to
flavor the mixture, dash of tabasco
sauce. that's Heinie Zimmerman and
a leader in Muggsy McGraw that's got
Napoleon looking like sandlot mag
nate and five pitchers that can fill
any bill. To season it all, there's
team work and fight in the gang from
the prexey Of the club to the last bat
boy.
Sure thing! It's all over but the
shouting and take 1t from US, after
the series is over Wen be able to
spring that old gag about, "1f it hadn't
been for the White Sox team, Chi
cago would have won the champion
ship"
/ The Leaders
Lamp the leaders! McGraw against
Pants Rowland, nee Clarence. Who
ever heard of a guy named Clarence
! winning a worlds series? But look at
Muggsy. winner of several series bat
ties. clever, quickwitted and on top
of that aggressive 10 the point OF war.
Rowland has never had worlds series
experience. Looks to US like Nc
Graw's chances of beating Rowland
are as scarce as prunes in boarding
house. Never could understand Row
! lands system, anyway. He is man
ager who ought to know better than
| to try ard sow seed on stony Maine
farm, yet he will harague his bali
! players by the hour.
Third Weak
Military experts have figured it out
that the weakest sport on the Chisox
ia the third. base. We include short
stop. Risberg and McMullen are too
apt to wear pajamas while covering
their ground. For the Giants there S
Fletcher at short and Heinie thinner
mann, at third. You don't need an In
PRODUCTION to Heine and Fletcher is
the best short in Tener's circuit.
Outside of Johnny Evers, umpires
know Zimmerman better than they
know their cashier that pays EN- their
salary and as an orator in. action he
has few equals. Usually there's two
umpires to a game but with thinner
man at third there will be three in
this series. If Heine goes through
without being fined we won't be sur
nrised to see the Giants lose. At bat
he is walloping the pill for 300 and
running the bases as if he owned
them.
We grant you that Buck Weaver OF
the Chisox is the best shortstop in the
American League but it is unlikely
that Buck will play on account OF
wounds in the early gas attack Of the
season.
At the keystone sack whom have
we? Why nobody else but our old
college chum Charlie Herzog. He
covers more fround than Collins for
Chi. Eddie has no business on a ball
field at his age. His grand children
ought to look after him better than
that. He was playing major ball when
Sherman marched TO the sea. Herzog
who opened the season like cripple
is going forward like British tank
in action. He doesn't care how many
. balls he knocks over the fence nova

: At First
Coming around to first base there is
Holke, young, fast and clever.
: southpaw, he can switch to the othel
