doping the pitching strength OF the
two teams, l am not In position as
yet to admit or deny such claims.
But the claims raise an interesting
problem. How much stronger must
the Red pitchers be than the White
Sox to give them an equal chance TO
win the series?
To date, the White Sox have scored
one run to each LII hlts-a record
equalled only four times by any club
as far as / can flnd--once by Fielder
Jones's White Sox, once by the
Giants, once by the Red Sox and once
by Pittsburgh. The Reds this season
have required 2.04 hits to score a run.
II would look on the face OF such
returns as II the Reds must be ap-
proximately Is per cent. stronger
than the White SoN pitchers 10 have
an equal chance Of winning the serIes
That Is, II the same ratio holds good
IN the series.
However, we shall see about this

American League Politics Place
Their Representatives in
Series Under a Handicap.
BIZ BOzen,an BuIQer.

TT DEVELOPS now that one OF the
motives in stretching the worlds
= series into nine games instead Of
seven was to give the Reds a better
chance Of winning. A National League
official candidly admitted in conversa-
ton yesterday that this was given
consideration in voting to indorse the
plan Of the National Commission.
That such a motive could have in
fiuenced the National League is read
ily understood, but 1t seems incredible
that American League club owners
could have 50 voted II they realized
that II was giving the rival organiza-
tion an advantage.
At the very outset Mr.. Comlskey,
owner Of the White Sox. announced
that he was opposed to playing nine
games because 1t smacked OF COM
mercialism. lie also felt that 1t
would give his team a playing dis
advantage. But, Notwithstanding the
fact that his team was the one prl-
marily to be considered, IL Is under
stood that Ave clubs OF his own league
voted against him.
The advantage supposed to fall to
the lot Of the Reds is that they have
more pitchers than the White Sox
| and are, therefore, better equipped to
go over a longer route than the usual
seven games. Moran has four top-
notch pitchers in good shape, while
| the SoX have but three--redlly but
two, Cicotte and Williams.
A most regrettable feature 70 this
| extraordinary situation Is that the
! American League clubs lined up just
as they are lined up in the fight over
! the Mays case. 1t is current gossip
| that New York, Chicago and Boston
voted against the nlnc-game plan'
! while Detroit, Washington. st. Louis,
| Cleveland and Philadelphia backed
Inn the commission. IL any National
League club voted against nine games
it's identity has not been made known
10 the public. You can't blame those
follows for trying 10 help Moran win,
Nearly everybody is pulling for him.
Ia II passible, though, that flve clubs
In the American League have per-
mitted baseball politics to influence
thcm TO vote against the interest oi
the team that ia to represent theiI
league in the worlds championship
contest?
II seems incredible. Most OF u'
who have followed baseball as spor'
for twenty years arc loath TO believe
ii. IL it be true, we must confess th9'
the old game Is certainly slippinl
from its high estate. Club owners
have lost their vision. They no longel
sec straight Are they so saturated
with III feeling and small politics al
to lave their perspective warped? /
is n lamentable situation and, per
haps. after all the Mays case ha

Longer Series Clever Move
10 Give Reds Edge on Sox

Is no disputing the fact that 1t will
cost the baseball public at least $780,
900 more to see this series than those
OF the past.
Garry Hermann says It will give
more people a chance TO see tho games.
He adds that thousands would be de-
prived OF seeing the seven game Sc
ries, Quite true. But there have been
hundreds OF thousands so deprived
every time the series was played In
New York, Boston or Chicago. That
was known when the original plan
was adopted, which has worked 30
well for the the last fifteen years. 1t is
pretty hard to get around that com
mercialism idea, isn't II?
The Yanks are up to their necks In
a double-header with the Browns this
afternoon, and Miller Higgins, if sue
cessful In the two-ply affair, thinks
he has an excellent chance OF winning
third place from Detroit or Cleveland.
Ho has quite lot OF new talent to try
out, but declared yesterday that ne
would refrain from experiments until
1t was certain his club had no chance
OF getting in the money.
Higgins, by the way. Is not so sure
that the Reds Will nave an advantage
OF the White Sox. He says they may
get caught in their own strategy. The
Yank manager feels sure that Cicotte
can beat the Reds, and he calls at
tention TO the fact that the Sox star
will be able to pitch oftener and have
more rest between in q nine game
series.
Among tho new players who have
joined the Yanks and are wearing tho
Ruppert- Huston livery are Frank
Glelck, an outhelder from the Saginaw
Club; Del Bissonette, a pitcher, and
Frank Galloway, n southpaw twirler
from Knoxville. Bissonctte Is high
school boy and Is known as Bahe
Ruth I'd. He Is said to look like Ruth,
but that is probably because he has
the same number of arms and legs.
He is a nice looking boy, but none OF
uE called him Babe" by mistake.
A few fans, not having learned OF
the postponement of yesterdays game
on account OF wet grounds went up
to tho park. Though the notice was
sent out at IL o'clock and posted in
the IL" stations, those In cars didn't
