Hitting and Running with Clubs
Inthe Big c Championship Clashes

Speaking theatrically. the Giants are
the handmaidens and the sox the
Jethers.
A chap IN N. Y. bets $4,000 on
Schupp In his next start. Another
New Yorker took the wager. Keeping
II In the family.
Quarterback Bell Is certain he saw
eleven all-Americans on the Georgia
team Hard to tell what the Giant
pitchers thought
Brooklyn players who enter the ser
vice will be rewarded by the club. Ths
Dodgers now understand how the
Giants feel.
1t is estimated that 5000 will turn
out in New York today. Most Of this
bunch will face the Kaiser. II neces-
sary.
There Is no world series being held
In Berlin. Mayor Thompson Il not re-
porting the series for the German
papers.
"Red" Faber says he thought he
saw Buck Weaver run home. That's
right, Red. they all seemed to be
doing just that
Next We will hear some rumor of
Clarence Rowland having to break up
his team. The squad is too good for
the comfort of its rivals.
The Royal Rooters" Of Boston are
in New York for the game. Other
Boston rooters are uncertain just
what to do.
McGraw looks for the Giants to
come back" today! Rowland looks for
a clean sweep. Somebody win need
tortoise shells.
Bill Evans is umpiring In the series.
He adds class to the quartet of Of
ficials. All the umpires have worked
the Polo Grounds.
Lew Mccarthy viii be out OF the
series. due to the injury on Sunday.
Gleason will not miss his batting.
Two to one on the Sox to cop Is the
betting. A card In the hand Is worth
two in the deck.
Clark Griffith is doing the series for
the benefit of the boys In France.
Only three Giants have struck out
so far. and strangely enough the
entire trio has breezed on three pitch
ed balls. They were Herzog and
Kauff in the first game and Herzog
in the second. Usually Cicotte whiffs
quite a bunch.
After Sundays defeat the Giant
pitchers compared notes and discover
ed that Joe jackson made his first
hit on Schupp, his second on Ander-
son. and his third OF Perritt. A
resolution was then moved and adopt
ed to the effect that Joe Is journey
man slugger.
They loaded a coffin into the bag
gage cars on the train Sunday even
ing just before the Giants climbed
abroad. Opinion Is divided as to
whether it contains the remains of the
Giant world championship dream or
the Giant jinx.
Here is an odd angle to the play of
the Giants. Sallee and Peritt, two
pitchers. have each made a hit against
the same pitching that has baffled
Zim and Kauff.
Fred McMullin, of the Six, has
played a great game at third base.
His fielding has been on a par with
zim's, and his hitting has been time
ly.
George Burns led OF in both Chi
cago games with a single the first
time up. He also secured a base on
balls in each contest. The Giant left
fielder is hitting .333.
An interesting sight would be a ball
field large enought to accommodate
all the fans who would gather to see
a worlds series game and all the fans
looking on while the athletes perform.
Championships have been moving
around in the last four seasons. The
Braves. Phillies, Robins and Giants
have won in the National League, and
the Athletics, Red Sox and White Sox
have won in the American League.
The Red Sox alone have repeated
since the opening of the 1914 race.
Worlds series are nothing in the
life of Charles Comiskey. He figured
as a player in several OF the series
played almost 80 years ago. and he
was an owner in the 1906 series
