PANTS VS.. JOHN
Rowland and McGraw Are
Very Different Types.
White SOx Manager Never Was
Big League Player.

Two vastly different types of base
ball managers will match their wits
in the coming worlds series.
On one side will be Clarence Row
land, the quiet. mousy manager of
the White Sox-the minor Lacquer
who came to the big show practically
unknown and made good.
On the other side will be John
McGraw, the stormy petrol of the
National league. who grew up to a
managership in the ranks of the ma
Jor league players and has scored
success as the pilot of the country's
biggest metropolitan team.
What a difference there is in the
twoi
Rowland a Busher?
Rowland never played on a major
Sox highly recommended by a few
big minor league men as shrewd
judge of ball players and a man who
possessed keen and active baseball
brain. For three years he has bat
tied to land his club in front, and
now that he has succeeded he is at
last getting credit for being a real
manager.
Rowland is stfckler for system
on a ball club He is the sort of a
manager who prefers to play every
game safely, if possible, and he pays
as much attention to the work of
pitcher on one batter as he does to a
batting rally. Rowland demands
good pitching first of all, and is con-
tent to play for one run when his
hurlers are going good.
McGraw Is u Driver.
McGraw, a driving, rough-and-
ready manager, also demands pitch
ing perfection, but he prefers the
use of all the heavy artillery in his
lineup on the attack and would rath-
in nil
play for one run. McGraw sends his
players up there to slug the ball, and
seldom resorts to the bunting game.
When the two come together it will
be interesting to note the methods
they will use, but in a short series
both may be forced to switch some
what from their pet theories, partic-
ularly if the pitching proves to be as
good as expected. And don't forget
heavily as any other factor

SOX HAVE BULGE
They Look Better Than Giants
in Many Ways.
McGraw Clan, However, Has
Edge in the Field.
RY JACK XEIOCK.

New York, sept. 24'-National
League partisans may concede that
the White Sox have a bulge on the
Giants in some positions, but when
YOU mention the outfielders conces-
sions end then and there.
Fans and critics who. favor the
Clan McGraw as the winner in the
big series contend that in Burns,
Kauff and Robertson the New York
club has a trio of suburbanites that
completely outclasses the White SoX
combination, regardless of the fact
that in Joe Jackson and Hap Felsch
Chicago can boast of two of the best
hitting gardeners in the American
League.
The fame of John McGraw's cut
field trio has been justly earned, for
they represent the class of the Ma
tional League as a whole, and with
the exception of Robertson, whose
hitting has fallen off this season for
some unexplainable reason, the
Gotham collection is a highly brilliant
one.
Kauff 800 Hitter.
Kauff is realizing his ambition to
rank as a 800 hitter this year, while
Burns has lowered close to the 800
mark all season and may pass it by
the time the race is over. Robert
son was hitting around .275 up to
mid September, and with his two
mates he must be classed as n speedy
man, both afield and on the bases.
All three of the Giant gardeners are
great judges of a fly ball, and in the
sun field, which is Burnss territory,
there isn't a better performer draw
ing big league pay.
Burns may be given a slight edge
on Felsch by many critics, and he
probably deserves it, but, in general,
these two players stand each other
off Joe jackson has been a greater
NJ ALA nj IA n
Kauff in other years, but Kauff is
just coming into his own. and aside
from a tendency to flightiness he has
a shade on his White SoX rival, be-
cause he is hitting hard and timely.
In right field Robertson should be the
choice over either Leibold or Collins,
who alternate in the old soldiers gar
den for Rowland. Robby's batting
mark for the season will top that of
either of the White Sox players, and
he is just as good or a better fielder,
if anything, than Collins or Little
Memo.
Giants Have Shade.
Taking the dope this way, the
White Sox outfield appears to be
shaded by that of the Giants, and
there is something in the contention
of National league sympathizers, but
it appears to the unbiased onlooker
that in a short series of games it is
about fifty-fifty between the two out
fields.
The White Sox aggregation will
have an advantage over their Ma
tional league rivals in one thing.
They are used to playing at the
Polo Grounds and they have learned
how to cover the ground; how to play
for hard-hit balls that may carom
off the right or left field walls, and
how to judge the lights and shadows
that come sitting over Coogan's Bluff.
The Giants, on the other lunch hook,
have never played in Comiskey Park,
and it will be a new experience for
them

Battery A and Radio Co. Foot
ball Prospects Bright.
Two Teams BattIed to Score
less Tie Saturday.

That Battery A and the Topeka RAJ
dio company have excellent football
prospects and will be heard from on
ly indicated in the first local game of
the season at Washburn field Satur-
day afternoon when they battled to a
0 to tie
Both teams displayed an unusual
array of football talent, but they were
shy team work and experience and
had difficulty in keeping their ma
chimes running smoothly. The strong
feature of both was the work of the
linemen and in this they were about
evenly matched, but the Battery back
field showed superiority and thru this
advantage held the offensive most of
the time.
The nearest approach to a score was
in the final period when Pinky Beals,
of che Battery. Tipped a long pass
that carried the oval within the final
} yard territory. Two attempts to
hit the line for gains failed and then
the -Washburn star tried TO toss a
pass over the goal line. but a Radio
man intercepted the ball and carried
II beyond the danger zone. A few
minutes l'uer time was called.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS;
III ROUTINE BUSINESS
Miss Olive ChenauIt Was Re-
leased From Service Upon
Her Request

Routine business for the most part
occupied the attention of the school
board at its meeting last night. The
application Of one the teachers, Miss
Olive Chenault, asking to be released
from service ON Dec. 81, was heard
and granted by the board. Miss Che-
nault had been offered position in
the Portland schools at a salary Of
$1,000, which was several hundred dof-
lars more than she was receiving at
the local school, and the board did not
feel they would be justified in refus-
ing to release her.
Considerable discussion was heard
relative to the securing of rifles for
the high school cadet corps, numbering
about 100 members. Superintendent
Todd gave quotations he had received
from several different companies on
rifles all of which showed a rise Of
from two to three hundred per cent
compared with prices two or three
years ago. 1t seemed to be the general
opinion of the board that further eff
forts should be made to secure govern
ment arms if possible. 1t was thought
that by putting the cadet corps on n
basis similar to the home guard organ
ization this might be done. The mat
ter was left in allegiance with a motion
that when the board adjourned it ad-
jouTned to meet at the call Of the chair
man to consider the securing of rifles.
The selection Of G. L. Storey to fill
a vacancy in the commercial depart
ment was ratified.
Superintendent Todd asked for per-
mission to have printed q number Of
comics of small pamphlet showing
the courses and work being accomplish
ed in the schools, which could be sent
out in answer to enquiries for informa-
tion of this nature. Mr.. Todd stated
he had five letters of this nature on
his desk at the present time waitfeg
answer and that similar enquiries were
coming in frequently from various
parts Of the United States. The re-
quest was granted.
Request was also heard and allowed
for curtains for the domestic science
rooms, and a special magazine of cur
rent events for use by one of the teach
ers. The usual number of bills wsfe
read and allowed.
Max Buren, acted as temporary chair
man in the absence of the regular chair
man, and w. H. Burghardt, Jr., acted
in his regular capacity as clerk Of the
meeting.
