THE SUGAR SEASON
From One-Half to TwO-Thirds of d
Crop Already Harvested

That fully a half of an average crop
of maple sap has been harvested on the
west side of Vermont at present is thu
opinion of people like the Vermont Syrup
company of Essex Junction and Others
in position to know. The estimate is
placed as high as two-thirds in soma
sections. but on the average over the
west side the crop is better than one
half. On the east side the season is not
so far advanced and it is usually from
a week to ten days behind. Although no
one can foretell what a maple sugar crop
will be. as it is impossible to predict
day in advance. a lot of sugar should
be made this year with anything like an
even break of luck.
This year Is far in advance of last
year. as the first real run of sap then
was on March IS. This year there was
run of sap on the second, third and
fourth of the month but only a few
farmers were in a position to catch it.
There was another run the following
week. when more got hold of 1t, and last
week there was a first-rate run Another
good run started Sunday afternoon and
the buckets were filing in good shape
Monday and Tuesday. The thing which
is needed now is a storm so the trees
can start all over again. for this run
Is about at an end.
The average crop is placed at better
than two and a quarter pounds TO a tree
and less than two and a half. The num-
Der OF trees estimated to be tapped this
year in Vermont is $500 900, so quite a
few thousands of tons of sugar are made
annually. The utensil manufacturers say
there has been keen demand for equip
ment this year and fully the average
number of trees will be tapped, judging
from that
In some years the season has stopped
as early as April and in other years
1t has run along into the early part OF
May, Everything depends on just what
the weather does. The work of getting

easy After careful computation of re-
ports, the run on the west side up to

more than half a crop.

of perfection in detail that is so much

REDS WILL USE
PA|ROF BACKSTOPS
White Sox Will Have Schalk,
With Rariden and Wingo
Performing for Cincy.

CINCINNATI, O. Sept. 24.-One
catcher will do all the work for the
White SoX in the big series, but two
maskmen will perorm for Cincinnati.
Pat Moran says that the alienation Of
Wingo and Rariden, in vogue all the
season, with great results, will not be
changed for the series. Wingo will work
whenever the White Sox have a right
hand pitcher on the hill, Rairden will
be there whenever a left-hander tries
his curves, The two eatchers have
played in almost the same number of
games and both have done splendid
work all summer, Wingo has the high
have been of the timely pattern. Both
have thrown well and both are
wells in chasing foul flies.
Even to the last, the Reds made a
poor defense against the double steal
and the squeeze play. Dozens of runs
were scored against them on these two
tricks, and they have lost many of their
games through or the other Of
these plays in the ninth inning. Pat
Moran is hoping to find an effective
way of blocking the squeeze and double
steal, even this late In @the year, and
is making Wingo, Rariden, Rath and
Kopf go through some special prac-
tice every day. John Killing, who is an
extremely good friend to Pat Moran
and is coming on for the series. will
be asked to come out, IL he arrives
early, and show the Reds the way he
used to stop the double steal. Never
was there another catcher who could
head off and confute that play as
Killing was wont to do, and Johns adj
vice may mean something in the time
Of need.

BURKE
]. PICKS WHITE SOX

Jimmy Burke, pilot Of the Browns,
picks the White Sox to win the worlds
series. Here's what he says:
There is no n who cap tell just
how good the White Sox are. Just
when everybody figures them licked
they bob up and pull something that
s%tartles the boys. They have all the
physical elements of the champion,
and they have the brains to make
the physique amount to something, In
hitting, defense, base stealing. hit and
run playing they can put the work
mand.
THE sox rave some Of the great
est players in the world on their ball
club. Eddie Collins, l believe, never
had a superior. Weaver ranks with
the great third baseman, and the 9TH
know Of no better center fielder in
the game than Happy Felsch. That
fellow can do a lot Of things that no
one ever expects from him. He is a
ball hawk and has a great arm.
Chief interest in the team ,%centers
parsons are made between that
and Sallee. Eddie Cicotte, or course,
needs no introduction. He is one of
the stars Of the game, He has m
thing that battles the opposition, and
HIS IdIue 10 81 wen SSlnbilbuCu llldt
ever on his off days he gets by. That
is often the case In baseball.
"Claude Williams is another great
pitcher. and then two of the other
hurlers who are not getting the credit
they deserve are Kerr and Bill James.
l confidently believe that both these
men will win ball games if they get
the chance to pitch, Kerr is a fight
err, born and bred. He can curve a
glove to the jaw as readily as he can
curve a ball to the plate, and he has
all sorts of courage.
81 believe hat the White Sox will
win the series because they have hit
ting power, they have speed on the
bases, and they have a flexibility OF
power and a recuperatibe ability that is
amazing. No bad break is going to
worry that bunch; they have too much
class to be worried by such Incidents
as errors and lucky skips.
81 am not attempting to belittle the
Reds. They have established them
selves as champions Of the National
league and they must have a certain
amount of power to accomplish that
feat. No champion ever rose through
luck alone. To be candid, | have not
seen enough of them to form a real
opinion, based upon careful comparison.
have seen the White Sox, however,
and l can say that any team that leads
them over the wire is considerable

ALEXA STIRLING
TO DEFEND HER
TITLE NEXT WEEK
WOmen'S Golf Tournament to
Be Staged Over Shawnee
Links; SOutherner Won Her
laureIS Three Years AGO.

II may be that when the women,s
Cnamp,onship golf tournament is held
over the Shawnee Country club links.
me week Of Sept. 20, Miss Alexa Stir
Charles Evans, Jr., failed TO do. Both
OF these golfers held the championship
titles over the war period, Miss Stirling
winning at Belmont Spring three years

Mlhlkahda and the amateur at Merton
Even after the Chicago golfer failed
TO retain his open title at Braeburn
early in June there we're those who
insisted that he would again show the
way IN the amateur classic at Oak
mont, but Francis Ouimet proved too
great an obstacle.
There are a great many who believe
that the Shawnee meeting will produce
a new champion, although there Is nd
particular reason for this assertion ex-
espting that the national amateur al
pittsburgh was full OF upsets owing TO
the many new players entering the field.
The Women's tournament will also nave
new players who have come to the
front during the past few years, and
II is difficult to get a line on their
game.
Even under ordinary circumstances,
one guess Is as good as another until
the contest has narrowed down to the
closing time. When II Is considered that
IL Is three years since Miss Stirling won
the championship and that since that
time she has taken part In few tourna-
ments, Il IL impossible to predict lust
what she is capable OF, It Is reason
able to assume that the Atlanta girl
iS playing as well as ever, and there
Is no doubt that she will be on hand
to defend her title.
Among the previous champions who
viii put in an appearance at Shawnee
are Mrs. Clarence II. Nanderbeck, win
ner In 1915, and Mrs. II. Arnold Jack
son, titleholder in 1914. Both of these
women are said to be on their game,
w, A, Gavin, champion and runner

politan event at Arcola, have been prac-
ticing a~ssiduously at Shawnee during

Mrs, Gavin plays the course we'll and

Hasn't Pitched Lately.

Manager Kid Gleason, of the White
Sox, hasn't used Faber here of late.
The Sox pilot. remembering the great
work that Red did in the big clash Of
1917, Is working on him now, ironing u
the kinks and grooming him for the big
attack upon the Reds, Since the Sc
ries has been extended to nine games,
Manager Gleason realizes that he will
have to have more than three pitchers
to cope with the Redleg outfit, so he is
getting Faber ready to do his part in
stonping the ~Cincinnatians.
Faber pitched invincible ball against
the Giants in 1917 In the big battles
and showed that when it came to
pitching for a big money purse he had
all that any pitcher should have, with
a little bit added. He was the biggest
hero Of the series beyond question, for
1t was his great mound work that
brought the worlds title to Chicago.
Manager Gleason has Eddie Cicotte
and Claude Williams groomed for the
first two games, with Dick Kerr held
in reserve. Cicotte Is a right-hander,
while Williams and Kerr are portsiders.
Another good right handler is needed by
Gleason, and with four good pitchers
two ght-handers and two of the Off
side variety-the White Sox will have
no fears at entering the big series
against the Reds. Pat Moran, Of Gin
