MAY HAVE TO POOL
men AND RECEIPTS
Comiskey Says Action Advls-
able to Avoid Reducing
Standards.
GRIFFITH OPPOSES. COURSE
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

According to Owner Comiskey of the
world champion Chicago White Sox the
pooling of both gate receipts and play
ers in the American League next sea
son may become necessary in order to
avoid shortening the schedule and re-
ducing salaries to five-mOnth basis.
Dispatches from Chicago quote Comis-
key as saying that while he does not
favor such a course, rather than see
the major leagues recede from the high
artistic standards they have attained
he would be willing to advocate such
a remedy.
Pooling of players may become i'm
perative to preserve anything like
equality in playing strength" Comia-
key is quoted as saying. III the forth
coming drafts for the National Army
take half dozen regulars away from
one or two teams, one or two stars
from others. and none at all from some
clubs. the result will be runaway
pennant race. which would rob the
sport of all public interest early in the
sea son..
take to Comiskeys plan remains to be
seen, but one of them, Clark Griffith,
has gone record as being unalter-
ably opposed to it.
THE plan to pool either gate receipts
or players Is not worthy Of serious con-
sideration." Griffith said today when the
Chicago owners proposal was called to
his attention. such a scheme would
hurt base ball immeasurably. and un-
less I am greatly mistaken the plan
never will be entertained by the powers
that be. /, for one, will oppose it. The
popularity OF base ball has been built
up largely by reason of the fact that it
always has been case of everybody
for himself. with no hint of collusion
or syndicate methods employed.
IF / knew now that l was going to
lose half a dozen of my regulars
through the new Army draft regula-
tons or any other cause still would be
firmly opposed to bolstering UP my
team through the medium of a pooling
of the players. 1t would cheaper the
sport. If the loss of a number of the
leagues stars necessitates shortening
the schedule, let it be shortened. If it
makes necessary reducing salaries, let
them be reduced. But by all means let
every team stand on its own merits and
have those which are hardest hit take
their medicine"

TAUGHT F|Tz LEFT SHIFT
Mike Donovan Claims He Ex-
plotted Mysteries Of Bob's Famous
Knockout Blow.

The death of Bob F'itzsimmons has
brought TO attention the widely preva-
lent belief that the lanky Cornishman
shift with which he knocked out Cor
bett at Carson City and won the
heavyweight championship. But Mike
Donovan. the well known ex-fghter
and instructor. claims that he was the
one who initiated Fitz into the mys-
tories of the shift that was TO make
him a world champion.
Donovan tells of the way he coached

/ Know" When Fitz was training
at Coney Island for his fight with Cor

after they had posed for pictures

man should feint with his right for

your left foot forward-and swing or
hit straight for the body with your
left.

"Fi'zsimmons practised the shift con-
etantly until he had mastered it, and

BENTON FIRST SOUTHpAW
TO BLANK FOE IN SERIES
With Schupp Is Only Lefthander to
Register Shutout in History
of Fall Classics. =

OF the eighteen shutout games that
have been recorded since base ball teams
began battling for world titles. only
two have been pitched by left-handed
pitchers. and both these two were in
the series Just ended, when the White Sox
climbed to the base ball peak of; fame at
the expense of McGraw's Giants. The
sixteen other goose eggs had been adj
ministered by starboard fingers. Ben
ton and Schupp were the men in the
recent series who broke the long prece-
dent. All Of which comes to light after
the first excitement OF the series has
blown over.
Prior to this season there had been
sixteen ehut-outs in world series, but
none Of them was pitched by left
handler. The last time a club vas
BANKED in the title classic was in 191<.
when big Bill James knocked out the
Athletics 1 to 0. - III

quite freely in the early days OF these
championship battles. such happenings
have been rare IN recent years. SO rere
