chIcago's White Sox, for purposes
~ the coming worlds series, are bet
tsR In pitching than the New York
Giants. The Giants have held q small
lad In the comparative dope since
I began studying the teams, man for
man In every department Of the game,
and suddenly, In the study Of the
Arst flight pitchers, the Chicago team
shows such undoubted superiority
that they have regained the lost
points.
Never have 1 tried to dope two
teams that figured so close together
as entire teams, and, while the study
of the second string pitchers may
affect the figures slightly, the chances
are that the White SoX will show
q lead Of only q few points.
The second string pitchers we must
figure upon, but they will cut only
afsmall Agure in the dope, because
there Is but small chance they will
be called upon unless a game 10 lost,
and what they do then is OF little
interest.
I am surprised to ind, in studying
the New York pitchers against the
white Sox, and the White Sox pitch
ers against the Giants, that the Giant
pitchers do not figure to stop the at
tacks of the Chicagoans to as great
an extent as one would have be-
lieved.
Schupp and Sallee will slow up the
attack of the Sox, because some of
the best hitters on ROwland's team
will be almost helpless, but the cum
ming construction of the team is re-
vsaled ~ the fact that, pitching that
stops one squad of batters strength
ems aaother bunch.
The dope indicates this: McGraw
will first use Schupp, then Poll Per
rftt, then Sallee, Schupp. Perritt, SAL
lee and Schupp, IL the series is to
20 seven games. If, in hard straits,
he will call upon Anderson, he will
have a man who not only Is one of
the most effective of National League
pitchers, in number OF runs allowed
per game, although not in victories,
but who figures to be extremely ef-
fective against the White sox, espe-
cially against their right-handed bat
tsrs.
There still remains some question
az to the condition of Perritt who
has been OF color and not physically
Mt for q long period, and, II Perritt
form, Anderson may do duty in the
front rank
It Is practically certain McGraw
will use only three pitchers, two left
handlers and one right-hander, as the
series Is now carded, the breaks in
the schedule giving ample time for
the men to rest II Schupp, for in
stance, should show himself master
CT the White Sox in the first game,
McGraw undoubtedly would use him
In three games.
Rowland Hasn't Much Choice.
Rowland's plan OF battle almost is
forced upon him. You may calculate
that Cicotte will pitch three games, IL
the series geos to seven games, and
that Rowland will use Faber and Rus |
sell. In Russell's game you may
safely figure that II he (or Faber) |
show any signs OF weakening Dan |
forth will be on the mound relieving |
them.
It looks as II we can safely figure |
upon each team relying upon three |
men, with one rescuer, and that the |
others will be used only in case . |
game is hopelessly lost in order to |
save others for the following game.
It now has become a question OF |
condition OF the pitchers. Every |

In the absence OF Petite Wall, the
Blue and Gray captain, now at Camp
Devens, Aver, Mass, Jackie Maloney
has been selected to direct the Hill
toppers Saturday against Lebanon
Valley. II Wall is compelled to re-
main in the army. 1t is more than
likely that Maloney will be chosen
captain OF the team for the season.
In the election last year he came
within one vote OF being named.
Coach ExendIne has discovered an
other good center candidate in Dorss,
from Creighton University. He is not
especially heavy, but he knows how
to play the position. and there now
promises to be a pretty three-cornered
fight among Dorss, Heaphy. and An
derson. without many candidates for
ends and backfield, Coach Exendine
may experiment with Anderson or
Heaphy in a new position.
Saturdays game will begin at 2:3o

The great Schalk, heralded as the
best Of all the catchers in tho Ameri
can League. leads the Giants CATCH
ing stan In strength, computed on
their value in the coming worlds So
ries, by only ftty-one points.
while schalk, by his superiority
over the best the Giants can offer
in the catching line. RECEIVERS much
OF the ground lost through the com
parative fisures Of the regulars. his
Mead is not7nearfy so much as one
would be led to suspect His weak
, ness as a batter, as compared with
the extraordinary batting value (for
catehers) OF Rariden and McCarty,
that his superiority in the defensive
part off the game. Is almost over
shadowed.
The comparative figures OF the
catchers, added to those already COM
piled. show the strength of the two
teams Is so even that the final de-
cision rests with the pitchers.
Schalk undoubtedly Is the best OF
the catchers In either league and the
most valuable to his team of any in
dIVidual on either of the teams. With
schalk out, through accident or any
other uaishap, and the odds against
the White sox would be double.

pitcher on the stafrs wants to pitch
in the series, but IL Is better to have
three all ready. This dope does not
necessarily mean that the pitchers
who will work in this series are bet
ter than some Of their teammates on
the bench. It means that they are
better suited to pitch against the
team
1 have figured Cicotte, Faber, Rus
sell, and Danforth for the Sox's first
flight, and Schupp, Sallee, Perritt, and
Anderson for the Giants. Understand,
I present these figures, not as final,
but with the right to amend the dope

case discover that either manager

Of the pitchers is not as 1 now sup

should be-, since they have had an
extraordinary time for preparation
for the coming contests, and have
been nursed and prepared for 1t.
Let US see how the rival first
squads compare. On the latest semi
official averages compared with my
own) the National League batsmen
have averaged one and and ninety
one one-hundredths of q run per game
OF the four Giant pitchers. The
American League batters have aver
aged one and ninety-two one-hun-

Calculating las you must) the diff

as compared with the sluRRing
strength OF the seven other American

The danger OF accident to Schalk Is
acute. He Is one OF the most daring
of catchers, and he has a habit OF
runners at the plate, block
Ing them hard and without fear. He
has escaped with great luck, being
OF light build. The danger of injury
in the coming series Is much grester
than II is in his own league. The
