where. But in most other places the
National Leaguers look stronger, at
least on paper.
GandiI is a better man than Holke,
though not hitting quite as hard.
Gandll is a timely hitter, his drives
winning many games during the long
campaign.
InfIeId Better Balanced.
The New York infield is better bal
anced than that of the White Sox
With Weaver out OF the game, a bad
hole is at third base for Rowland's
team, but Weaver will probably be
able to play IL his team wins the
pennant.
Risberg is a fair fielder and a fair
hitter, but he does not class with
Fletcher.
Eddie Collins and Buck Herzog look
about even, the Giants pep and en-
thusiasm possibly giving him a slight
shade. Both have been through other
worlds series tussles and have made
good.
Giants OutneId Better.
The Giants outfeld trio is better
than Rowland's. Burns is outhitting
Jackson, and Is a far better fielder
and base runner. Felsch. the best OF
the Chicago bunch, can't hit with
Kauff, though just as good a fielder.
Robertson is a better man than either
'Shano" Collins or Memo Leibold.
As between the Giants and the
White Sox, McGraw's personality will
count for much. Few believe Row
land measures up to McGraw's waist
when 1t comes to management OF a
worlds series ball club.
So the Giants supporters will have
to give odds.

GIANTS CARRY ODDS IF
THEY BATTLE WHITE SOX
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

If the Giants called upon to battle the Chicago White
Sox they will undoubtedly be favores in the betting, for
the American League champions will have themselves
out in the strenuous fight for their pennant.
As in all previous title tits, pitching counts heavily,
and the White Sox staff has suffered severely from the
strain of keeping ahead of the Red Sox. If the White SoX
are able to gain enough the Red Sox allow their pitch
to take a rest there may be chance for them to be
ready for the Giants But thus far there is little sign that
any rest will be given them The going much too rough

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 22.-wItI the
White Sox and the Red Sox
running along in the American
League pennant race and so far
out in front that it is almost imros-
chile for one Of the ether six club7 to
pass them between now and October,
naturally, they are considered the
best clubs in the circuit.
This opinion may bs featured In
Chicago and Boston. but It is not an
nounced by Clark Griffith, who Of
fered the following Interview when
the second match with the browns
was postponed owing to rain.
81 have the best club in the Ameri-
can League today and it's tough TO sit
back and see the Red SoN and White
Sox engage in the elimination contest

remnant winner, and have the best

an be satisfied with a FIRST division
finish now. Just the same, / am posi-
tive that we could get into the DC
tober worlds series and retain the
title for the American League.
what has caused the change IN my
club? That isn't a puzzle to me. we
received a series OF set-backs, owing
to injuries in the hrst halt Oh the
marathon. We didn't have the proper
onbination-that was it, but now We
have the lineup, which is as good IS
anything in the league.
Wins BY n whIsker.
"TiQht fielding and confidence are
sddsd TO excellent pitching-not a
vicious batting club, but one which
keeps the other fellow from getting

win by a whisker.

are on. will send them jumping up

will get back on the winning side OF
the ledger in todAy's dOuble-header.
By a one-run margin the club has
lost two straight games in this

was batting close to 800 and was an
ideal lead-ofr batter. With Joe miss

Charity at first base, and this leaves
the catching burden to Ainsmith and
Henry. An Injury to one OF these re-
ceivers will crimp Grin for protection

Until their recent swing through
the East, Rowland's pitchers were
hanging up wonderful records. All
through the first three months OF the
campaign Cicotte, Russell, Faber, and
Scott were carrying the brunt of the
pitching on their sturdy shoulders.
Now and then they received aid from
Danforth, williams, or Benz, but they
were called upon with deadly regu-
larity.
Strain Tells mt Last.
The strain finally began to tell on
them. First, Reb Russell developed
q sort arm. This interfered with his
effectiveness considerably. though he
has been pitching on his nerve alone.
He is a game fellow, who will pitch
his heart out, If necessary.
Then Cicotte began to wobbIe, fol-
lowed closely by Urban Faber. When
last here this pair seemed far less ef-
fective than they had been on their
first visit to the East. They pitched
good ball, but toward the end of a
game they weakened perceptibly.
They have had little rest since then,
and, IL forced to keep up this work
till the curtain falls, neither will be
At his best for the title series.
Jim Scott has received an appoint
ment to an officers reserve camp and
will leave next week. This eliminates
him from the worlds series, and, as
he has been pitching good ball lately,
his going may hurt the chances OF
League pennant
Benz Forging Ahead.
Joe Benz, after doing little or moth
ing most OF the year. has begun to
forge ahead and he may replace Scott
as a regular.
Dave Danforth and Claude Williams
seem unable to last out a whole game
with any regularity though now and
then one OF them does manage to
pitch nine innings, especially II his
team gives him a bunch Of runs.
Williams lacks control, a sad fault in
Q major league.
II the White Sox have to fight for
the flag right down to the end. their
pitchers will be- a tired bunch when
they oppose the smuggling Giants.
Filters Don't Hit.
The greatest weakness Of the White
Sox is the lack OF hitting shown by
Joe Jackson and Eddie Collins, though
the latter has begun to show some Of
his old form with the stick. Neither
is hitting for .2T5. Had jackson
clouted for his old average OF $40 or
better, many a game would have end
ed differently. Had Collins hit around
1926, his old mark, what an aid he
would have been to his team.
