Benny Kauff, the star batter of the
defunct Federal League; Jim Thorpe,
the famous Indian athlete, football
player and former member of several
major and minor league clubs; pitcher
Fred Anderson, Walter Holke and 9TH
ers of the younger Giants all appear
as possessing possibilities in this di-
rection.
The White Sox roster includes the
names of several players who have
sprung into baseball prominence with
in the past season or two and it may
be from this list there will appea4
one who by spectacular fielding feat,
long hit or brilliant piece of base
running will gain a place in the world
series hall of fame at a bound. In
fielder Charley Risberg and outfelder
Oscar Felsch have played remarkable
ball this season and should maintain
the pace during the coming series. In
addition the White Sox have many
players of far greater big league ex-
perience, who have never had chance
t. figue in the most important of all
diamond clashes and it would not be
surprising if one or more of these
men leaped to the fore in the race for
world series fame.

Letters of the Counting Period
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN

Why 1t is that a pair of lovers will change their opinion of each other so often, dropping from an infinite height to an infinite depth and rising from profaned depth TO heavenly height, is one of the many mysteries of love. Ovid wrote of the art of love. He had better have written of the chaos of love. Here are some letters written by one of my grandfathers and one of my grandmothers when they were courting. The first is from grandpa. Just listen to it:
 Dearest, Sweetest Matilda-I have but just come to my room from hearing you say that you would be mine, but 1 cannot refrain from writing you how happy you have made me. I have met many girls, but you are the only angel among them am awestruck when l think of my hav- ing secured such prize. l only fear that when you find out how unworthy I am you will cast me off.
 My grandfather was in such a futter that ten minutes after he had left my grandmother to continue on paper the twaddle he had lavished on her in SDGCCil UG WuS XII lOOh NIlIllS bhC above effusion. It would seem that these young lovers never can break the steady flow of love that pOurs from their hearts, and if they succeed in doing so they must needs repair the break in some other form as quickly as they can get an opportunity.
 And what possessed the man possess ed the woman. Scarcely had grand father left his mate, than she rushed to her escritoire and, sitting down, took pen and paper and continued her own heart outpouring in the following note:
 Dearest-I know that am foolish, but I cannot-though you have not been gone ten minutes-refrain from telling you how Infinitely happy you have made me by the honor you have done me. To be loved by such a man is simply ecstacy. How hon. orable you have been in refraining from telling me you loved me before speaking to papa!
 Of course l can't give what must have taken hours to write. Besides, what would be the use? 1t is all on the same high c key. If he was writ ing to an angel she was writing to a god. Let us see how the mercury dropped after the first spat:
 Dear Miss Marshall-I must say I was surprised at your action this evening. I supposed you were above treating even a coachman, to say nothing of a gentleman, as you treated me. Do you consider what you did ladylike? I confess that if my father had kitchen maid who would act toward me as you have done I should in- sist on her discharge.
 Note the rapid fall from angel to kitchen maid. And the old duffer-I
