Final Figures
(Amended).

He will try all the harder. because
of the clash between himself and
the management, but the truth Is
Herzog is not up to his top form
physically either In attack or de-
Tense.
The long drawn-out schedule adopt
ed by the National Commission also
Affects the figures. II reduces the
value of the sub pitchers, and adds
to the value OF the fellows who will
do the work.
The last ten days have been very
pregnant with meaning to the fel-
lows who follow the game closely.
Rowland has been working his pitch
ers into condition, and II Is evident
that he figures upon Cicotts and
Faber to win the games for him. He
has been working Faber entirely
with a view to the series, and the
big fellow appears to have awakened
to the Importance Of hard work at
least. He ought to be one of the
greatest of all pitchers, but he has
been afflicted by lack OF ambition and
absence OF hustle. His prep games,
however, indicate that he Is on edge
and that he is working hard.
I have not yet completed the proc

is its application to the games. But
here Is one prediction: All Fabsr has
to do IL to pitch two games and win
one OF them to win the series for
the White Sox with the open
schedule adopted. cicotte can carry
the greater part OF the burden. He
can win the series with q f1fty-hfty
break on the part OF Faber and some
heIn from Russell
McGraws efforts to get his pitch
ing stan ready are not entirely en-
couraging. Perritt has not pitched
as II he was back to his proper
form. He has been on color for a
long time, and 1t Is evident McGraw
was trying him out to see how he
worked. He has been tagged in
lively fashion, but the one sign of
promise has been that he has had
fair control, and has been able to
stick the ball over and force op-
ponents to hit.
McGraw evidently wants both Ben
ton and Perritt In shape. although he
will rely upon Schupp and Sallee to
win. He expects them to return the
winning game, and Is striving to get
another pitcher ready to win one
game out OF two starts.
Perritt is the logical man for this.
but IL McGraw is hard pressed and
Perritt fails to deliver his irst game
he probably will take a chance with
Anderson, who has the nerve, the
courage and the stun TO win a game.
and who at present seems to be In a
trifie better condition than Perritt.
1t Is necessary before concluding
this study OF the teams As compared
with each other to compare the man
agers / have tried through this en-
tire series of articles TO express the
value OF the managers In figures by
calculating what effect they and their
methods have upon Individual players.
A manager may make or break almost
any player. He Affects every man on
his tam. His generalshlp directly
Affects the work OF each man. There
fore It is necessary to study the man
ayers and their system.
McGraw IL q martinez. His word Is
absolute. He directs practically all
play from the bench and he accepts
the blame for any mistake and lets
the credit go TO the player. He is a
man absolutely just and fair and i'm
partial. He plays no faVorites. He
rides" his men to death, drives them,
spurs and whips them, but he treats
all alike, which IL the strong point.
He Is merciless in bitter sarcasm,
but he works for his team and for
