class that he has displaced the vet
eran Magee, and he may give Jack
son good run Jackson's batting
has been one of the big assets of the
Gleason tribe. He has a wonderful
| ly strong arm which has cut many a
run off at the plate. He can cover
more ground than his younger rival,
and is fielding around .971 to Dun
cans .962, the averages being those
! of the first part of September.
Roush will be pitted against Felsch
in the center garden. Both these
players have thousands of admirers
for each is one of the stars of his
league and a real battle is expected.
Roush, who one time tried to make
the White SoX team but was found
wanting, has climbed the ladder of
fame and today is one of the best
/ hitters in the National league, hav-
! ing an average of more than 800
almost the entire season. He is a
good fielder, with a mark around
.987, has a good arm and covers a
lot of ground. This will be his first
worlds series.
Slump For Felsch.
Felsch, on the other hand, suffer
ed slump in his batting this year,
but has been dangerous man in the
pinch and has boosted his batting
mark to about ,259 while his fielding
average for the greater part of the
/ year 974. He is rated by many ex-
perts as the greatest outfelder in the
| American league. Felsch is a play
er who can go to any corner of
the field and get them, has lot of
speed and a powerful arm. Toward
the close of the season Felsch showed |
signs of recovering his batting eye.
Roush's marks during the first part |
of September was .319.
In comparison, these two players
will about break even, as where one |
outshines the other in hitting, the
other will outfield his rival.
The right field position seems to
favor the Chicago aggregation. Lie
bold, Chicago's 'lead off, is one of
the hardest men in the league to
pitch to, and a patient waiter at the
plate. He will invariably make work
for a pitcher to count two and three,
and when they cut the plate is
capable batter. He is fast on the |
field, has a strong arm and is bralny |
PLAYER and a clever base-runner. |
Neale, on the other hand, while ca
vorting in the right field garden may !
experience some difficulty fielding, i
especially in the White Sox park, ow- I
ing to the shadows which have af-
fected many American leaguers. On
his home grounds, however, he will
have the advantage over his White
Sox rivals. Liebold has been hit
ting at 1898 clip while Neale's work
has been around FAT. In fielding |
Neale has hung up an average for
he greater part of the season of .95l |
while Liebold's mark is 1923.
John Collins a Reserve.
AS a reserve in right field, the |
White Sox have John Collins, one |
of the fastest felders in the game
"Shano" has been with the SoX 10 |
wears, and is a hardened player He
one of the gamest men IN base

bases, although his batting average
does not indicate that he is a heavy
hitter. "Shano'' has been GROWING
h. p.ll for about 1852 and has been

pcd's veteran substitute outflelder,
has been hitting around .225 and I
