DOPE INTERESTING
Giants Have Outhit SOx Thru
out the Season.
Pale Hose, However, Have
Scored the Most Runs.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. Oct. 1.-The team with
the strongest punch generally wins.
This doesn't apply in every case. but
quite often enough to be a rule in
the grand old game of baseball.
When the Giants and White Sox
enter the worlds series they will be
primed to go in there with every
ounce of strength available. They
will go in there TO put their strongest
punch into every game, and it will be
battle of brain. Drawn and mechant
cal ability.
In sizing up the merits of the two
worlds series teams in the matter OF
score runs. the baseball dopester
doesn't find a whole lot in the way of
figures that will give him fair COM
PARSONS, for the teams have fought
their way to the top in different
leagues, and the dopin-out process IS
reduced for the most part to guess
work, pure and simple.
Figures Interesting.
But the figures are interesting,
nevertheless. and, regardless OF the
fact that no one can say whether the
work of the White Sox on the bases
is better than that of the Giants or
whether the hitting power of the New
York club is stronger than that of
the Sox. figures are necessary
The White Sox are the best base
figures for it and abides by them
alone. But the White SoX have not
tempted the arms of National league
catchers. and the Giants have not
matched their speed against the peg
ging power of American league back
stops, so the point is open to argu-
ment.
The figures accompanying this
article show that the Giants have out
hit the White Sox, yet the SoX nave
q after
all, are what win ball games. 1t would
seem that the SoX are the fastest
club on the bases, and that they make
their hits count for more, yet many
a run is contributed by the wildness
of opposing pitchers. If the pitch
ers in the American league are wilder
than those in the Rational, then the
lead in runs held by the Sox over the
Giants may be partly attributed to
this fact But are they?

Tile EIIMn TODAY.

The lack of tobacco, or "baccy
lack" as the soldiers call 1t, is the
hardest thing the American boys in
France have to contend with, accord
ing to their letters to friends and
relatives in the United States.
It's more than an enemy.
They love the training they are
getting; they look forward to a battle
with the Germans, but the thought
of being without their favorite brand
Of tobacco is depressing.
They can't but American tobacco
