Comiskey Succeeds in Build,
ing Second Winning Machine
After Years Of Effort
By Grantland Rice

|HARLEY COMlSKEY'S
White Sox bagged the first
two American League pen
nants back in the dim dawn of the
young leagues start.
Eleven years ago his white-hosed
array won third pennant and
world series championship, after be-
ing in seventh place around July.
In 1908, under Fielder Jones, the
White Sox made another desperate
thrust at the top, only to be repealed
by Detroit on the final day Of the
race in the greatest finish the Amer
lean League has ever known.
For nine years after this vain as
sault upon the peak the Old Roman
STAYED back in the wilderness. And
then, about three years ago, when he
saw that Ed Walsh was fading back
into the mists, Comiskey went cut to
build and buy another fag-winning
machine.
The result is now an ancient yarn.
His scouts found Schalk, Risberg
and others, while his money paid for
Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson, Memo
Leibold and one or two more.
The White Sox owner didn't buy
as many developed stars as the
Giants did. But he bought enough
to achieve his main purpose, which
was the winning of his fourth Amer
lean League flag.
The new Sox array made its drive
again for the top last year, but fell
short by two games.
The South Side clan lost the flag by
one Iun year ago, the narrowest
margin known. They were beaten to
by the Red Sox in a game that de-
cided the championship.
But they were on their way up-and
this season for the first time they dis
played rare knack at recovering after

have been far stronger than most OF

winning pitchers in Clcotte, Russell
Williams and Faber, they have been
second in club batting and first IN club
fielding. This means they had by al
odd. the strongest defensive machine
in their league, attached to first class
attack.
The Red Soy have proved for two

On this club Collins, Weaver. Felsch,

Sox speed has been shown By their
ability to gather in runs-for they
have scored more runs on the average
than the Giants. hit for hit. And the
Giants have one Of the fastest combi-
nations the game has known for d
decade.
The White Sox will bank heavily on
Cicotte. If he has the Giants baiHed as
badly as White Sox rooters think he
will. the White Sox have the edge. But
if the Giants break through Cicotte's
defence the margin swings over the
other way.
In the way Of strategy Rowland has
the expert aid of Kid Gleason and Eddie
Collins. This pair knows enough base
ball to load six transports. So Chi
capo's board of strategy should be well
able to meet any field emergency.

trouble and swinging back into the
pace.
Comiskey's 1917 array has never had
the fire and flash of that 1906 delega
ton. But man for man he had bet
ter club this year than any White Sox
machine of the past.
Can Face Discouragement Under
Fire Without willing.
Chicago had an outtield that could
hi, a we'll balanced infield, four first
class pitchers and the best catcher in
baseball. This list comprised the main
ingredients. Commy at last had club
that could hit and field. that could
bank on its pitching and that could
lace encouragement without willing
under fire.
The 1906 White Sox stood AS the
hitless wonders of the game. This
title could never be applied to the Sox
Of 1917 with a batting order which in
cludes jackson, Collins, Felsch and
Weaver. There was no Ed Walsh
around to turn in twenty-five or thirty
games and save fifteen or twenty more,
but there was plenty Of run-making
power az hand to back up good pitch
ing. led in the main by veteran Eddie
Cicotte.
All through the year rival managers
and players put forth the claim that
Cicotte was winning through the use
of a mysterious shine" ball. wherein
some subtle substance was rubbed TO
produce an unhittable break.
Two Main Ingredients
Of Baseball Success
The mystery of this ball has never
been cleared up. II Cicotte used some
outside substance he was an artist in
its application. lie got away with it,
and that sens TO be the main answer
of the day and time.
At that, We can figure out no de-
livery that ought TO be more illegal
than the spitball. If a pitcher is
allowed to use the splitter" then tar,
glue, gelatine, rosin or any other MKT
urc in sight should be permitted.
In facing the Giants the White Sox
have the two main ingredients OF base
ball success.
Flrst-A rugged defence, led by Cl-
cote and Russell, Collins and Felsch.
Second-A powerful attack, led by
Collins, Jackson and Felsch.
They undoubtedly have ball club
of fine physical power. This was
proved through the closing campaign.
They tossed away any number of games
they should have won-some of these
through csrelessness and others
through poor hesdwork. Yet, despite
these mistakes, they are pretty sure to
top the field by ten or twelve games,
the biggest margin piled up in the
American League since the old Mack
men were at their best
A victorious margin of four or five
games has been held to be a decisive
edge in the American League. The
Red SoX won by three games in 1915
and by two games in 1916.
But the powerful White Sox machine
is romping along a good ten or twelve
games 10 the good-proving the punch
in its attack and the ruggedness of its
defence.

Fruit Diet for ObesitU

TN REDUCING weight there is no method
L superior to the fruit regimen. This plan
is very simple. The diet 10 made to consist
exclusively of Juicy fruits, bran, celery,
lettuce cucumbers, etc. The food should
be taken four times day or at intervals
of about four hours. Convenient hours are
seven a. n., eleven a. M, three p. m. and
seven p. m. At each meal two or three
heaping dessert -spoonfuls of bran should
be eaten. A very convenient way to take
the bran Is with stewed tomatoes or apple
sauce, or 1t may be made into a porridge
with tomatoes or fruit of some sort thick
ened with small spoonful Of flour or
meal. Salt should he avoided altogether
o taken only in a very minute quantity.
I &" Is quite important If a RAPID reduction
oi weight is desired The purpose Of this
regimen is to secure very pronounced ac-
tivity of the bowels, which greatly aids in
the reduction Of flesh After a week or
two the number of such meals may be re-
duced to three and the amount of nutri-
ment may increased by the addition of
other veget. eies one or two small potatoes,
a small slice of bread and butter at each
meal preferably in the form If zwieback,
and small portions of scald'd oatmeal
Care should be taken to AVID making the
regimen so severe as TO produce a sense of
weakness and exhaustion. Two or three
quarts of water should he taken daily.
