White SOX APPEAR
COMING CHAMPIONS
Present Series Between Chicago
and Yanks and Red Sox and
Tigers May Be Turning Point.

Having expanded their lead. the
| Chicago White Sox are looming up
more promisingly than ever as the
next champions OF the American
League. Their victory over the
Yankees on Monday coupled with
Boston's defeat at the hands OF the
Tigers enabled the Alabaster Hose to
scale another rung in the ladder to
the heights.
The current meetings between Chi
cago and New York and Boston and
| Detroit may mark the turning point
in the campaign. The Yanks have
gone absolutely to seed and are prov
| ing soft prey indeed for the white
hosed warriors of Rowland On the
other hand. the Red Sox met a tartar
in the Tigers, who suddenly have
| come to life, and on Monday Jen-
! nings' men sprang a real surprise by
| taking into camp Babe Ruth. Barry's
mainstay. Unless the Yanks pull
themselves together at once Chicago
| may jump the field and leave the
Red Sox trailing in the dusty wake.
Much has been made of the game
ness and staying qualities OF the Red
Sox. Time after time they have proven
their mettle, both in the American
League races and in world series COM
petition. 1t is because OF their con-
cealed gameness that the Red Sox
have been favored to win the nag by
many experts of standing.
But the White Sox, too, have shown
they possess an uncommon amount of
stick-to-it-iveness Across the last two
weeks the men of Rowland have bat
tied with a spirit that knows no mas
ter. They have periscopes fixed upon
the pennant, and despite a tendency
to croak on the part OF the pitching
staff, the Sox have been playing so
well afield and welding their bats so
effectively they have managed to
maintain the lead.
Another severe handicap to which
the Sox have been subjected through
out the season has been the failure
of both Eddie Collins and Joe Jackson
/ to maintain their old batting pace.
Both have fallen of considerably. but
they have the happy faculty OF being
able to produce hit when it is needed
most, and therein is their greatest
value to the club. On the other hand,
however, IL both players had hit as
! consistently as last season the SoX
unquestlonably would have the nag
won 10 d lla1ileilla'iSoi Sei fanny e4S
this.
The defeat of Babe Ruth by the
| Tigers was a sad blow TO Barry. The
| leader of the Hub array is placing
all hope on the broad shouldered
| twirler, and thus far Ruth has tusti-
fed the confidence OF his chief. He
has been the greatest winner on the
Boston stan. On Monday. however,
Babe had the misfortune to pick Bill
James as an opponent on one of the
tall chaps good days, and as result
| lost a contest that Barry was most
anxious to win. James held the Red
| Sox to four hits and only one run,
whereas the Tigers touched Ruth for
eight hits and five runs. Ruth will
be unavailable for a few days at
least.

GIANTS HAVE ONE OF
GREATEST INFIELDS
Holke, Herzos, Fletcher and Zim-
norman Make Up the
Inner Patrol.

New York, Aug. 2s.-when the gen.
erals of the diamond award the iron
crosses to the heroes of baseball at
the end of the major league cam
paigns, it is a certainty that four will
go to the members of the Giant in
field, for in Walter Holke, Charley
Herzog, Arthur Fletcher and Heinie
Zimmerman New York has what un-
questionably is the greatest inner pa
troll of the pastime today.
With due regard to the splendid
batting and pitching and the playing
of other members of the club, it
nevertheless is a fact that the infield
has been by far the greatest factor
in the triumphant drive of the
Giants. 1t is another $4,000 infieId,
one that ranks with the far famed in
ner guards that made the ancient
Mackmen and Cubs impregnable.
And in the current series with the
Dodgers this great array has per-
formed at top speed. Holke, at first,
has been a tower Of strength. He has
established himself as a permanent
member of the quartet. Herzog, at
second, is the pivot about which the
machine revolves. He is to the New
York infeld what Evers was to the
Cubs and Collins to the Athletics.
This has been one of the veterans best
seasons, too, despite an injury to his
back, sustained in a fall several weeks
ago that has handicapped him con-
siderably.
And the left wing of the inner de-
fence is just as formidable as the
right. Heinie Zimmerman is enjoying
the greatest season in his brilliant
career. He has come into his own
as member of the Giants and beyond
question is the peer of all third base
men. The only guardian of the near
corner who approaches him at all is
Larry Gardner, and he isn't in Zim's
class as batsman. Never before has
the idol of the Bronx combined defen-
s1ve and offensive baseball with such
fine effect as this season.
Fletcher, too, has done his share to
accelerate the drive. Time has dealt
lenitently with this clean-living ath-
lete, and his play has been superb.
Fletcher Is the type of player every
manager likes to have on his club, for
he is a battler down to the ground
and is the personifcation of COM
bative asgressiveness. and that quality
makes him very valuable to the
Giants. Incidentally, Fletcher's bat
has been a potent factor in many VIC
tories this year, y

M'GRAW AN HONOR TO
NATIONAL PASTIME
Pilot of New York Giants Has Had
Vast Career in Major League.

| From the rawest sort of a busher,
when he drew his first salary as a
ballplayer back in 1890, John J. Nc
Graw has risen to the position of the
highest-salaried manager in baseball.
Always aggressive and ambitious to
fight his way to the top of his pro-
fession, McGraw has succeeded in
making himself one Of the best
known men in the baseball business
today. and because OF a pugnacious
spirit he has kept before the public
much of the time.
The Giant leader was born at Trux-
ton; N. Y, on April Z, 1873. and short
ly after he graduated from short
trousers he became a professional
ballplayer. getting his first real en-
gagement with the Olcan team in the
New York State League. This was
in the spring OF 1880. and McGraw
signed his first contract at the age
of II. He drew $50 a month with
Olean. and to him the salary seemed
fortune.
After playing a year with Olean
McGraw went to Cedar Rapids, Ia.
He played shortstop, and performed
so well that he was signed by the
Baltimore Club in the fall OF 1891. At
ter finishing that season as a bench
warmer at Baltimore, McGraw got
his chance the following spring. when
Ned Hanlon became the Baltimore
manager. After playing him at sec
ond base for a time, Hanlon shifted
young McGraw to third, which proved
the making of him as a major league
star. Under Hanlon he soon became
one OF the greatest players in the
game. He was a wizard as a fielder
and his batting average seldom fell
below $50.
When the old Orioles were dis
banded in 1900 McGraw was sold to
st. Louis, along with Wilbert Robin
son, but the sale dspleased both
players, and they refused to report
| until midseason. The same year the
American League invaded the East
and McGraw Joined hands with Ban
Johnson, finally landing a hacker in
Sonny Mahon, at Baltimore, where he
was made manager of the club. Fin
ally McGraw and johnson split in 1902,
and as McGraw had received a spike
wound that ended his career as a
4 pldNtE, ne dillOlnGtu ne was NlllOhSu
with the game forever.
At the time Fred Knowles, then
secretary of the Giants, induced
| Owner Freeman to give McGraw a
! trial as manager. The berth was Of
| fered and McGraw accepted. He has
| been filling ii ever since.
| Taking a tail-end team in 1902, Nc.
Graw built up a club which won the
National League pennant in 1901. ant
again in 1906. after which, for a period
OF FIVE years, he failed to finish II
| the big money. In 1911 1912 and 1871;
the Giants came back. winning three
successive championships. but fail
| ing to capture the worlds series, two
of which were won by the Athletics
and one by Boston. In the worlds
series of 1915, however, McGraw's
team came off victorious, and that
year the Athletics were the victims.
| McGraw is one of the few manag ger;
who has won five pennants, and al
the age of forty-four he stands out
as the biggest man in managerial
ranks today. His salary is said to be
close to $4,000 a year, and he holds

GREB OUT AFTER THE
MIDDLE.WEIGHT TITLE
Pittsburgh Mauler Posted a Certified
Check to Meet AL Mccoy.


New York. Aug. 2s.-Harry Greb.
the slam-bang Pittsburgh middle
weight. Is getting away up In the nstic
world.
A short time ago Harry met Jack
Dillon. the Hoosier mauler. in a ten
round bout in the Smoky City, and
from all accounts, he gave the man
from Indiana an artistic licking. a
thing which very few boxers OF the
present day can boast OF.
Getting the better of Dillon in ten
rounds Is somewhat OF an accomplish
ment when it is remembered that in
the scrappy Hoosier young Greb met
a battler who has it on him in
weight by many pounds. a battler
from Jesse Willard down.
But Greb is a middle-weight. and 1t
is the middle-weight title that he Is
aiming for. A short time ago he
posted a certified check OF 81, 900 to be
handed to Al Mccoy as a gift any
time Albertus will agree to face him
In bout in which the referee is en-
powered to render a decision. To date
Mccoy has given Greb a wide berth.
He evidently prefers to let Harry have
the road and get the publicity. But
the boxing fans who have seen Greb
in action are clamoring for a bout in
volVing the title. and a match between
Greo and Mccoy would be a good
thing for the midle-weight division,
as IL would greatly stimulate interest.
Greb has met most OF the good mid
dies. He has beaten Chip, Mccoy,
Ahearn, Moha and others in ten-round
no-decision bouts. and has the distinc-
ton OF having held Mike Gibbons to a
draw In six rounds at Philadelphia.
All he wants Is a chance to prove his
class in a ring where a decision can
De rendered. and II the dope on his
ability has not been highly colored he
