Both Giants and White SOx Played Brilliant Ball Dur ing Closing Weeks of
 the Campaign

New York, October 2.-While the win ming of a pennant and the resultant par ticipation in the world series is based the entire season of league play 1t Is as a rule the final weeks of the schedule in which the championships are clinched. At this period of the play the leading teams of each league are putting forth their greatest efforts in an attempt to capture first place and each days strug- gle is fought out to the finish. For this reason it has frequetly been said that the true speed of a team in a world series near the point where the pennant was mathematically won.
 Base upon this assumption an analysis of the work of the Chicago Americans and the New York Nationals in the clos ing weeks of the present season should afford somewhat general outline of the form which may be expected of these two clubs when they meet in the world s series of 1917. On the first day of Sep tember the Chicago White Sox were lead- ing in the American league by Az games over the Boston Red Sox. while the New York Nationals led the PhiIiles in the senior league by nine games.
 In neither case was the lead so great that the runner-up club did not have a chance to overtake and pass the pace set- ters Under the circumstances the New York and Chicago teams were forced to play their best game and despite an oc- casional defeat the records show that they travelled at high speed up to the very moment that the flag was won be- Ynnd neradYenture.

Pitching Is Most Prominent Factor Bearing on the Final
 Outcome of Worlds Series
McGraws Three Souhpaws Saee Benton and Schupp Will Do Majority of Twring-Cicotte, Faber and Williams
 to Bear Brunt of Work for the White Sox

New York, october 2.-No single factor has greater bearing upon the outcome of a world series than the pitching staff of the two teams in yolved. This is an accepted axiom of professional baseball which is partic- ularly true of the two clubs which arc scheduled to begin their battle for the premier honors of the diamond at Chi cago on Saturday.
 While neither the New York Nation als nor the Chicago Americans quite equal the machine-like perfection in balance and play which has distin- guished several preceding combina- tions in the series, they are, neverthe- less, strong aggregations which ap- pear to be evenly matched. Under these circumstances any edge or advantage which may develop is likely to ap- pear in the work of the hurling forces.
 So far as numerical strength is con cerned there is little if any choice, as both the White SoX and the Giants have seven twirlers who have work ed in the box with reasonable frequency during the season. The records show that Manager Rowland sent Danforth into 46 games, Cicotte into fl, Faber 35, Russell 3S, Williams 39. Benz l7 and Scott A. Wolfgang, although rated as a pitcher, has done but little work on the mound against opposing teams having been used to pitch to his team n, atae drrinC Dractice

GIANTS PLAYED WELL

During the first 20 days of September the New York Nationals played 23 games, of which they won 16 and lost seven, showing a winning average of .696 for that period. In the same number of days the Chicago White Sox played 15 games, of which they won all but three for an average of 800. In these 15 games the Chicago players accumulated total of S2 runs to their opponents 54, or an aver age of close to 51z runs per game. The Giants aggregated 80 runs in 23 games for an average of 31a runs per contest. while their opponents collected 56. If the op- posing strength were equal in all games. which was not the case, however, It might be assumed that the White Sox attack was stronger than that of the Giants, while he latter's defense was harder to break through. The fact that these clubs did not, of course, face the same opponents must not be overlooked.
 Much stress has been laid upon the re- spective ability of the pitchers of tho clubs and the part that these twirlers will play in the winning of the world series For this reason comparison or their box records during the period under consideration may be helpful to the fol- lowers of the game. The Giants have used Sallee, Perritt, Schupp, Tesreau and Benton for an average of 34 3-5 innings each in the 20-day period, while Demares and Anderson have worked an average of aon

RECORD OF HURLERS

 Anderson S3, Schupp S2 Perritt S1, Sal lee 29, Benton and Tesreau 2S each. 1t will be seen from the foregoing figures that the Giants have shifted their hurlers more frequently than the White Sox, but the results do not ap- pear to indicate that this had any outstanding effect upon their winning ability. In the matter of right and left hand twirlers the situation is again a stalemate, for each club car ries and uses four right-hand deliv- cry boxmen and three portside or southpaW pitchers.
 How these right and left-handers will fare against opposing pat Wleld- CTS is problematical. Eddie Collins, Weaver and Jackson have all shown ability to hit portside pitching, which they and other members of the White Sox team are likely to face in ma jority of the games if McGraw's plans do not miscarry. Felsch is another Chi cago player who has shown that left handlers have no terrors for him. The team batting average against port side hurling is close to .26O, which ap- pears to give them an advantage over the Giants in this respect.
 The New York players, however, be- lieve that they will face Cicotte and
  quently than the White Sox south paws For this reason they are par ticu1arly interested in the delivery of these two pitchers, especially the so- called shine ball'' of Cicotte. There is wide difference of opinion among even the American league batters re- garding the methods or means by which Cicotte gets the wierd curves and breaks which has made his deliv- ecV cn of ic tain that the Giants will scrutinize both the ball and breaks with extraor- dinary care in the coming contests. Faber's moist ball" delivery is also certain to bother the New York bat ters, especially if the pitcher can main- tain control. Russell and Danforth are the formidable left-handers likely to be used against the McGrawites
 SOUTHPAWS FOR GIANTS
 The Giants strongest box quartet will probably be composed of Sallee, Schupp and Benton, all left handlers, with Per- ritt the leading right handler Andcr- son, Tesreau and Demaree will form the second string and any one of this trio may prove unexpectedly effective under certain weather and sky conditions. It will be seen, however, that the Giants leading boxmen are southpaws and if the records are correct the White Sox will not be so handicapped before this form of delivery as would appear to be the general impression.
 So far as other departments of play, in which the pitchers are concerned, there does not appear to be any great advantage one way or the other In bat ting and fielding there is little margin on either side. The Giants twirlers have few more double plays to their credit and the White Sox hurlers have the edge c.. stolen bases.
