Type; Who Will 1t Be This Year.?

Whether these series stars will rise from
the ranks OF the veterans or from among
! the younger members Of the White suh
and the Giants only time can tell In
veteran material tested In the fire OF
world series strife, the New York Ma
tlonnls have a decided advantage over

Youngsters May shine.
There In also much promising material
among the younger members OF the tea ms
and It Ia not at all unlikely that one or
more OF these players, untried In thr
premier diamond conflict, may prove tho
deciding factor IN either game or the
series aH Il whole. Certainly some Of
them have excellent records to support
the suppostion. Benny kauff, the star
batter OF the defunct Federal league
Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian athlete,
football player and former member OF
several major md minor league clubs
Pitcher Fred Anderson. Walter Holke
and others OF the younger Giants, all
appear As possessing possibilities In this
direction.
Tho white sor roster includes the
names OF several players who have
sprung into baseball prominence within
the past season or two and II may he
from this list there will appear ono who
by spectacular fielding feat. long hit
or brilliant piece OF basc-running VIII
gain n place In the world series hall OF
fame at n bound lnfielder Charley Ris-
berg and Outnedcr oscar Felsch have
played remarkable baseball this season
and should maintain the pace during the
coming series. In addition tho white SoX
have many players Of far greater bis
league experience, who have never had "A
chance TO figure In the most important
OF all diamond clashes and II would not
be surprising II one OF more OF these
men leaped to tho fore in the race for
world series fame
OF players.
