tenn and dope it out for yourselves.
Or, better still, drag along with me,
follow the system, and when my fig
ures (which are not really mine, but
from averages and sta
tistIcs) do not agree with your views.
change them to suit yourselves.
You'll be surprised to find how closely
together two fellows who study the
game will figure the value Z a player
IL they reduce their values to plain
figures.
Start with the basis that baseball is
a purely mathematical game. Get out
your average books for the last fve
years.
Now here is the system:
The attacking strength OF any team
is greater than its defensive strength,
or else no runs ever would be scored,
drawing passes, getting hit, outrun-
ming bounders. stealing bases. gener-
alship, etc. Speed. brain work. and
all the known elements of run get
ting are offensive, and must be hg-
ured item by item.
Defensive play consists of fielding
throwing, ground covering, pitching
and teamwork, especially on the I'm
field.
Onense Rated Higher.
From studying dozens Of leagues
for over twenty years. have calcu-
lated that defensive strength is 81
per cent of the game. and offensive
is 63 per cent This is based on runs
scored, bases gained, etc.
In a worlds series we must calcu
late upon this ratio, although the de
fense is much stronger and the of
fense weaker. We can remedy this
seeming defect in the dope by adding
to or detrscting from the individuals
strength, as shown in figures. This
is simple. because a study of the
worlds series is but a comparison OF
individuals.
Now, ii the defensive strength is 81
per cent, we can figure men exactly
as we did for the entire season. We
can rely upon the averages of this
and other seasons. What we want 1,
to know each mans strength in his
poEition. To reach this. l have fig,
ured position values. These are moi
the values OF men at all, but the aver.
age values Of men in that position
and they are based upon the number
Of chances a player I'm that position
has per game. This table OF values is
as follows:
The Washington times., 1917-09-24

Theoretically. with nine men play
ing and the attacking strength valued
at 63-1OO. each man is worth 100.
Add that to his defensive strength.
and you have his total team value.
The Washington times., 1917-09-24

That is, with the defensive strength
thirty seven. the pitcher Is worth
thirty-six one hundredths of thirty
seven. Therefore. the defensive
strength Of the pitcher is thirteen
and a fraction one hundredths of the
entire team strength, and so on for
each position.

Keen Your Fish Dry.

Strange as it may seem there Is
nothing in the world that will spoil a
dead fish so quickly as water. If your
fishing conditions are such as to pre-
vent your keeping your catch alive,
by all means kill each one as quickly
as caught, and having done so dry 1t
and keep it dry. Remember that a
fish strung through the gills and
thrown oversize is doomed to a
speedy death by suffOcation. If you
must string them use one Of the
patent stringers that holds through
the jaw and gives the fish fighting
chance for life. If, however, you can
neither treat your catch in this way
nor turn them loose in a tank, kill
them instantly, wipe them quite dry
and keep them sheltered from the sun.
Fish should not be packed so that
they come in direct contact with ice |;
place sheet Of nonabsorbent paper
between. Avoid damp moss or sea-
weed in your creel.

There Is a fascination about Alas
kan life, which, despite its privations,
makes men loath to leave and eager to
return. There is no fear Of starva-
ton nor even Of restitution. The
rivers and woods supply salmon and
the venison of moose and caribou suf-
f1cient to meet the wants of all. A hole
In the ground makes refrigerator
which will keep meat fresh through
out the hottest summers, without re-
course to pemmican. And, If white
man is too lazy to hunt or fish him
self, he can always obtain living
from squaw and fishwheel. AS
soon as suitable means of Transports
ton exist. the country should be more
crowded with visitors than was Switz-
erlaud before the war, and must also
enjoy business prosperity.

Real Beast Of Borden.

The burro can generally get away

with a cookstove, mattress, trunk,
a washtub, two frying pans, the fam

The Scandinavian Race.

The term "Scandinavians" Is not
confined to the Norwegians. The Nor
wegians are indeed Scandinavians,
but so also are the Swedes, Danes and
Iceianders. For that matter, the Ger
mans, English and Americans of Eng
lish stock are also descendants Of the
Scandinavian stock, since 1t is more
than probable that Germany was orig
inally peopled from the land Of the
Mortimer, and 1t is from the North
German stock that the so-called Anglo

Dutch First to Improve pIow.

The Dutch were probably the first
to introduce Improvements worth
while in the plow. They devised the
first pillow that turned a furrow, all
plows before that time being merely
used to break the surface >of the
ground. The first patent for a pillow
went to Joseph Folpamb IN 1870. 90
seph Newbold patented one in this
country not long afterward, but Jeth-
70 Wood really invented the pillow in use
today. His instrument was the.first
to have mold-board, share and a
land side in three pieces, SO that they
could be replaced or sharpened singly
when worn.

NO TEAM HAS BEEN EQUAL TO TASK
OF WINNING 8 WORLDS SERIES IN a
ROW: RECORD WON'T BE BROKEN
Cubs and Athletics Held Record-Breaking Mines
Together for Five Years, but Best They
Could Do Was to Win Twice
BY GRANTLAND RICE

yTJlIE irasciblc fates have never yet per
i mitted any ball club TO win three Woriu
Series in row, and they apparently nave
no intention OF rearranging the ancient
schedule this waning season. The classic
Cubs of 1906 10 were unequal to the
rugged assignment, and the equally classic
Mackmen of 1o10-l4 also crumpled before
the three -year-i r-in-succession job.
The Cubs and MaclSmen each held their
great machines together for five years
Each won four pennants In this fire-year
period, yet with all their amazing skill ana
speed and power they were not able TO oc-
cupy tho World Series throne for three
straight years.
And then the Red Sox came. They
crushed the Phillies four games to one, in
1915. In 1916. minus Speaker and with
Barry injured. they won second pennant,
and thwa arted the depressed Dodgers by the
same four-onc margin. Nineteen hundred
and seventeen was then to be the test. The
Red SoX had but two old rivals to beat off
White SoN and Tigers. They had dispersed
both haudily for two years whenever the
need camo to call out tho reserves. Three
weeks ago, when the White SoN suddenly
Collapsed and blew a iivc-game lead within
Il week, the old story seemed TO be under

Favor Three and Two
The question of having three professional
and two minor league players on a team,
and which was laid over at the spring meet
ing, again came up for discussion. There
were varied opinions expressed on the sub
icct Several declared IT would be neces-
sary move in order to cqualiZo the playing
strength of the clubs, owing TO losses due
to enistments AMI the draft. Trenton and
the Grcys were bitter in their denunciatiou
of the proposal Mr.. Bailey favored a rad-
cal cut in salaries, with the retaining OF
five professionals. His argument was that
fans in this vicinity have been educated to
an all-professional club and they desired
that kind MIR. E,Iser sided with the Greys.

contracts with all his players and made
it plain that he would not break them for
