Some Job For Hugh Fullerton
Is "Doping" the Third Basemen

/ do q juggling act with his bat. !
can't figure him above a $50 hitter
against the Cubs pitchers, IL he hits
that well, but then We must figure
further when we remember that
George Robe. who was about the
same type of player as Coffey. was
the hero of one worlds series.
The fact that Coffey's manner of
hitting is practically unknown to the
Cubs ought to help make him more
dangerous. We find this feature
prominent in the history of all
worlds series that the batters who
are unknown to pitchers usually hit
hard, vide Hank Gowdy and Robe.
However, in figuring this series we
must calculate upon the resoureefull-
ness of Barrow in gap-plugging. He
has Wally Schang who was tried at
third and found wanting, and remem-
ber that Schang can hit left handed
pitching and that he can wallop that
ball hard when he gets hold of 1t.
I am figuring that Barrow is GER
tain to use Schang at third base in
some of the games, and that AgneW
will do practically all the catching.
In taking Coffey off third Barrow will
lose only 30 points in fielding and will
gain SS points in batting ability. If
he uses Schang only against the left
handlers of Mitchell's team his next
gain will be even larger.
Clearly it is Bosron's problem to
utilize the best points or the playing
of both Schang and Coffey, which is
considerable of a problem, and at
best the team gains strength in one
department at the certainty of los
ing in another. Schang cannot field
hn ird N
putting him on that bag Barrow
would be gambling largely that he
would hit and that few balls would
be hit in his direction. His ability
to hit left handlers makes for scoring
strength, and the speed of Bush and
Mays tends to force the Cubs batter
to hit toward right field, so that
would relieve the tension somewhat.
But when Jones pitches that slow ball
it is a different matter.
This season both teams are COM
PEELED to take chances that they
would not take under ordinary cir
cumstances.
If Cleveland could get into the
series the Cubs show considerable
loss attacking power (although that
is like making it a minus quantity)
but have less of an advantage. Evans
is HOl IdHhlu5 bSo6uS
fielder although in some respects
equal to or better than either Boston
or Chicago.
The series it now seems, will be
decided on pitching, but even with
the best of pitching against weak hit
ting teams there is a huge danger in
having n leaky infeld.
Chicago has the better constructed
infield for defensive work regardless
of whether Zeider or Pick plays sec
ond. 1t lacks class, but is better
balanced. Boston is weak at sec
ond and bad at third. while extra
ordinary strong at FIRST and short.
The chance for a game, or possibly
the entire series, to leak away
through third base is the worst fea-
ture of the Red SoX defense.
Tomorrow we will study the
catchers-and remember that the
catcher in position value is almost
twice as valuable as any one of the
infielders-and in this series even
more vital to the team work.

Penn-Harris Management
to Operate Peru Hotels;
Planned by Government

In the desire to establish chain
of first-class hotels in the principal
coast cities of South America, the
Peruvian government has passed a.
law appropriating sum of money
for this purpose. A commission has
been appointed, of which Signor
Calderon is president, and they re-
quested some time ago that the
United Hotels Company, which will
manage the Penn Harris, should
operate this chain of hotels. A con-
tract has been closed with this COM
pany and now plans and specifica-
tions are being made in an effort
to esta blish these hotels. At first the
United Hotels Company hesitated to
make controct, but later did so at
Secretary of State Lansing>s request
to assist South America in this pro-
ject. The first hotel will be con-
structed at Lima, Peru

Secretary Lanes Plan
For Returned Soldiers

Secretary of the Interior Lane re-
Gently presented to the President
and Congress a comprehensive plon
for a preliminary study of the un-
used lands of the country, with par
ticular reference to the irrigation of
some 100000 acres of arid land.
the drainage of between 100000
and S0,000,000 acres of swamp land,
and the clearing of approximately
200, 100000 acres of cutover or log
ged-of land, with the purpose in view
of reclaiming these lands through
governmental agency and providing
homes for returned soldiers.
That Secretary Lanes proposition
touched a popular chord is indicated
by very general newspaper approval
and favorable comment by members
of the United States Senate and
House of Representatives
This is a plan for land conserva-
ton for use of the demobilized Amer
ican armies when they shall have

the end that there may be available
millions of acres for the returning
soldiers to establish themselves on
farms and ranches.
Secretary Lane is asking Congress
for an appropriation of $1,000,0 900 to
be used in the work and attention is
called to what other countries are

turned soldiers. In a letter to the
