The car was jammed. They were

The car was one of those closed

And he grabbed the trolley rope and
gave it a healthy jerk. Up she went
and out, went the lights. Poor COMFY.
He had to open up the doors, step
outside in the cold and fix the juice
giver. Whilst doing this the outsider
grabbed a place inside the car.
The COMFY, being a wise gentle
man, let it go at that, and the car
proceeded. After a block or two of
jamming,l crushing and pushing,
we'll bet the outsider wished he were
outside again. But he had won his
point, paid his jitney, and the trolley
poked serenely down Madison, while

COmiskey Hot After
Worlds Series Scalpers
Asks Aid of Public

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 90. A new
drive against scalpers of worlds
series tickets was launched last night
by Charles \. Comiskey, president of
the Chicago Americans. He es-
tablished a special department at the
White Sox baseball park. had tele-
phone installed and issued an appeal
requesting the public to communicate
any information regarding persons
attempting to obtain tickets through
mail orders with the intention of
having them resold at fabulous prices
by ticket spectators.
Il am earnestly endeavoring to
eliminate the scalping of tickets"
Mr.. Comiskey said, and 1 am seek
ing the cooperation of the public in
this. 1t is an unnecessary evil, and
should be done away with. Any in
formation regarding scalping will be
acted on Immediately"
The scalpers themselves are defiant
even in the face of the stand taken
by Comiskey, and States Attorney
Naclay Hoyne, who has threatened
prosecution on charge of conspiracy
to extort. The scalpers insist they
will be able to fill any reasonable"
order for tickets and declare there is
no legal way to stop them.
"If a holder of a worlds series
ticket finds he is unable to attend the
game and wants to sell his ticket to
me, I'd like to know how he can be
prevented" said one.
These tickets become public prop
erty as soon as they are passed out
have as much right TO buy and sell
them as Comiskey has. There is a
city ordinance against operating on
the sidewalk. Officials can prevent
that. but that's all they can do"
Some of the spectators, who say
they will have plenty of seats, de-
clare they will be able to Cell them
around s25 for the Sunday game, Oc-
tober Z, If Chicago wins the first
clash Of the series on Saturday.

NENT TODAYS SPORT PROGRAM BIG SHOOT AT OVERLOOK
MORE HEROES WILL COME
IN WORLDS SERIES GAMES;
PERSONNEL OF STAR PLAYERS

George Gibson was behind the plate
for the Pittsburgh team when that
combination played the Detroit
in 1909, and Pitcher De-
maree and Outfielder Burns played
with the Giants in the series of 1913
against the Athletics. In sharp con-
trast the White SoX have but two
players who have participated to
any extent in the baseball classic.
Eddie Collins the Chicago second
baseman was a member of Connie
Mack's famous pennant and World
Series machine a few years ago and
figured rominently in the struggles
of 191O-11-13-14. Eddie Murphy
was also q member of the Athletics
for several years and was factor
in the series play. 1nfielder Robert
Byrne was enrolled with the Pitts
burgh and Philadelphia Nationals in
1909 and 1915 when these teams won
the right to play. the American
League pennant winners for the
Worlds championship.
The White Sox roster includes the
names of several plays who have
sprung into baseball prominence
within the past season or two and
it may be from this list there will
appear one who by a spectacular
fielding feet longest hit or brilliant
piece of base running will gain a
place in the World Series Hall of
Fame at q bound. Infielder Charley
Risberg and Outfielder Oscar Felsch
have played remarkable baseball
this season and should maintain the
pace during the coming series. In
addition the White SoX have many
players of far greater big league ex-
perience. who have never had a
chance to figure in the most i'm
portant of all diamond clashes and
it would not be surprising If one
or more of these men leaped to the
fore in the race for World Series
fame.
The following tabulations include
a complete list of every player OF
both clubs who may be eligible for
the series together with their physi-
cal and playing statistics:

New York. Sept. 29.-One of the
outstanding features of World series
history has been the fact that al
most every contest of this baseball
classic has developed one or more
so-called heroes-players who have
uncovered what has been termed a
superman type of game under the
stress and excitement of the struggle.
Certain names remain fixed in the
memory of the fans in connection
with specific series long after the
general result and personnel of the
competing clubs have faded from
recollection.
The pitching of Christy Mathew
son in the series against the Phila-
delphia Athletics in 1904; the heavy
batting of Franklin Baker against
the Giants in the Philadelphia New
York contests of 1911 when he
pounded out two home runs at criti-
cal periods in the play and drove in
hve runs during the series; cannon
ading of Hank Gowdy's bat in the
Boston Braves victory over the Ath-
letlcs in the struggle of 1914 when
the Braves catcher startled the base
pail world with his terrific hitting
that gave him an average of .545
and an assortment of drives which
consisted of one home run: one
three bagger; three two base hits
and five singles in eleven times at
bat, all made World Series history.
There is a wide field of specu-
latiVe possibilities among the players
OF the Chicago Americans and the
New York Nationals and World
series heroes may spring from unex-
pected positions in the coming con-
tests between these clubs.
In addition to Manager McGrav
VINO has led four teams in the
struggles, Pitcher Tesreau was a
member of the Giants team which
figured in chamionship play of 1915

HENRY ZIMMERMAN

(New York Giants.)
1t took Heinie Zimmerman
ten years to travel from a sand
lot club in the Bronx to the
Giants club at the Polo grounds,
only couple of miles distant.
But when he finally arrived.
Heinie helped land a worlds
record of &c straight wins, n
pennant for his club and bun
die of worlds series kale for
himself.
The great Zim has always
wanted to play in New York but
he was obliged to daily two years
with the Wilkes Barre, Pa,
club, where he played his first
pro" baseball and almost eight
years with the Chicago Cubs be-
fore realizing his wish.
New York City gave Zim to
baseball; and the Bronx, where
he was born, February 10, 1886,
and learned the rudiments of the
game, believes Zim gave this
years pennant to New York
This Bronx bird is the great
est third sacker in the game
right now. He has always been
long, hard, timely walloper, a
brilliant mechanical fielder and
has a wonderful throwing wing.
Jimmy Callahan says that Jim
mie Collins is the only third
sacker he's ever seen who could
swing 'em over to first like this
Giant does.
Heinine's collective batting
average for nine consecutive
years of major league play is
1902 and in 1912 he massaged the
old pill for .S72. On the bases
he is fair, but no speed mer-
chant. His best base stealing
mark was earned last season
when he annexed "a satchels.
The only real weakness ever
exhibited by Zim as a player is
q bad case of temperament"
lie used to go for the umpires
like a ticket scalper after a fan
and was known as a hard guy
to manage. Since coming to New
York, however, he has laid off
the jumps and McGraw has had
absolutely no trouble with him.
Heinie is large featured and
big jawed and looks and is es-
sentially aggressive. He is a
shade under feet tall, weighs
1876 pounds, and is all sinew.
bone and muscle. Zim has the
requisite huskiness for stopping
the hot shot along the third
base line and goes after every
thing.
Next to conversing with UNI
pires, Heinie's chief hobby is
golfing. He used to caddy, when
a kid and learned the game on
the links in New York City.
The Giants have savage hit
ter in Zimmerman for the series,
one who is apt to crack a game
wide open at any time and send
a pitcher to the showers.
