records Of the players and the teams
in their respective leagues develops
the fact that so far as figures and
averages can disclose there is little

but the Chicago com binatiOn offsets
this with more stolen bases, indicat-
ing greater speed upon the base lines
It is one of the axioms Of world
series play that the winning Of the
first game carries greater weight
than the mere numerical value Of
victory, and for this reason it is Gus
tOmary for the managers Of the rival
teams to send their best pitcher 20

and have the same tWirler available

For this reason the general expec-

Schupp is a lefthander, with a
