true, but what he lacks in the way, of
a batting average he more than bal
anceS in every other way, for he Is
the "Klassy Kid" of all the catchers
and you've simply got to hand it to
him.
Raymond has been busting the ap-
pie for the very mooest average of
about .230 this year, which, against
Lew McCarty's .290 or better, and
Rariden's season figure around $50, is
a rather lean average. But Schalk is
not weakling at the bat, despite the
figures, for he has habit of sneak
ing in his hits when they are needed
badly, and his short, sharp drives over
the infield, or past third base, have
driven in good many tallies for Clar-
ence Rowland's rollicking Sox.
Excel With the Bat.
On batting alone it is easy to give
the edge to the Giant backstoppers,
to the bases and fielding the position
behind the "stickes,' Schalk outshines
either McCarty or Rariden, and, re-
member, that only one of the two can
work against him at a time.
Schalk has been great catcher
from the first week he broke into the
major leagues until the present day.
He is vest pocket edition, to be sure,
for he is one of the smallest -catchers
in the game, but he has enough pep
per 10 supply young army of players,
and he also has one of the coolest
wisest heads in the major leagues to-
day.
Many a fan who thought there
would never be another catcher like
Johnny King admits today that
Schalk is a close approach to the old
Cub star. He has the spirit, and
many of the same actions behind the
bat. His pegs are quick and accurate
and he can handle any kind. of pitch

mark him as the best windpad star

Giants Have Better Catching
String Than White SOX.
SchaIk Pitted Against Rariden
and McCarty.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Sept. 26.-When Lew
McCarty's broken leg mended and he
returned to the Giant lineup, New
York fans felt thrill of relief surge
thru their chests.
The loyal supporters of the Giants.
who will back their ravorltes with
money and lung power in the worlds
series next month, were pleased over
McCarty's return, because Lew yields
a mean bludgeon and his hitting will
probably be needed.
Bill Rariden, McCarty's Side-kicker
in the Giant catching department, is
a sweet backstop and as hard work
er as ever drew on q mask in the big
show but Bill isn't McCarty's equal
in the art of pasting the pellet. and
because of this critics are predicting
that McGraw will use Lew in pre-
ference to Bill when the Giants face
the White Sox, provided Lewis leg
doesn't give him unexpected trouble.
Good Catching String.
With two such catchers as Rari-
den and McCarty. the Giants are well
fixed. No club in either major league
has a better pair of wind-paddists
when it comes to all around service,
but when one starts to compare the
Giant backstops with the one and
only Ray Schalk, who is a whole
catching staff by himself, the Giants
do not loom up head and shoulders
above their American league rivals.
Schalk isn't much of a hitter, it is

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Try this on your
adding machine:
Orders for 1000 seats for each
game of the worlds series at Comis-
key park had been received today.
There are $4,000 seats.
y Thousands of out of town appli-
cants will be disappointed, as the
White Sox management has an
nounced that the homegrown fans
will be taken care of first.
The one ray of hope remaining for
the tardy ones is the fact that Is. 900

placed on sale at the park in the
morning before each game.
According to the national commits
sion, there amt no such animal as

offering $3.50 for $3.50 reserved seats
and $3.50 for SIS box seats.

Whooping Cough, However, Is OH the
Increase in State.

Since diseases are spread thru con-
tact of well persons with the Sick
says DIR. J. ]. Sippy, epidemiologist of
the state board of health, the num-
Der of sick people in an area will de-
termine largely the spread of such
diseases.
THE number of foci of typhoid
fever in 1916 was $50 and a decrease
is shown in 1917 of IS. In all proba-
bility there will be less typhoid fever
in 1917 than in previous years. for
there are seventy-five fewer chances
for well persons to contract it.
ION the other hand whOoping
cough shows an increase in preva-
lence and one may look for a still
larger increase in local epidernics.
The same is true of scarlet fever.

it their rule to see that persons af-

sore throat should be excluded from

Worlds Series Fans Will Get Old ard
New Style Play.

New York. Sept 26.-Two vastly
different styles of play, perfected to
the topmost point, will meet in battle
when the White Sox and Giants tear
the wrapper off this years world
series.
John J. McGraw. manager of the
Giants, is a graduate of the old Balti-
more Orioles, where the only thing
they taught was hit and run. Clar-
ence Rowland is a graduate of no
school save that of his own observa-
ton and he pleads for the sacrifice,
mixing it with just enough of the hit
and run to relieve the monotony-
Hit and run and sacrifice styles
have met before, notably in 1912,
when the Giants fell before the Red
Sox. But never before have two
teams come together who both typi-
fled highest excellence in these two
basic points of baseball strategy
1t is saying a lot for the sacrifice
style of play to point to the Sox scor-
ing the record for the year, during
which time they have accumulated
fewer hits than have the Giants, but
have scored more runs.

WORLDS SERIES PLAYERS
Who's Who in Big Diamond Classic
of the Year.

Bill Rariden-"Whoa BilP' is gen.
orally recognized as one of basebalPs
most efficient catchers. Clever at
fielding bunts, fast at backing up
plays, and a fast thinker, he compares
well with other big league catchers.
He was a Federal Lacquer when the
Feds blew and Harry Hampstead
purchased his release from Harry Sin
clair. Rariden has been a consistent
hitter. His blows have been timely.
He bats and throws right-handed and
chews his tobacco raw
George Gibson-Gibson came very
near sliding into a state of innocuous
desuetude before John ]. McGraw
finally hitched string to him and
pulled him onto the Giants payroll.
The veterans sensational comeback
this year proves McGraw wasn't mis-
taken in believing the old-time Pirate
star would be winner. Gibson has
been almost exclusively assigned to
the task of handling Ferdie Schupps
shoots and the pair have had fine sue
cess. An injury short time ago may
handicap his work in the worlds
series, but McGraw is banking heavily
on him just the same. Gibson was
member of the Pirates when they won
the 1903 worlds series from Detroit
Lew McCarty-McCarty missed par
ticipation in the last worlds series
when he was traded to the Giants by
Brooklyn, and came very near being
checked out of this autumns big bill.
He broke his leg early in the season
in Cincinnati and only in the last few
weeks has he been allowed to take
part in any games. His hitting is one
of lis chief claims to fame His
broken leg appears to have knit in
splendid shape, but still is very weak

Poll because most parrots are known
by that monicker. and partly because
his nose bears a resemblance to the
beak of one of those birds. But aside
from that, Poll is Co siderable of
