IS not fair or safe to say that they

major league club has a chance to
win a series If luck follows IL all
the way through. but II does not ap-

necessary timely places TO turn the
tide against a team which beyond

HHICAGO'S White Sox are approx
y mately two and a half percenl
stronger a ball club-for purposes Of
the worlds series-than are the en-
cinnati Reds. The team. with every
factor Of strength considered, shows
an advantage OF 257 points over the
Reds.
The advantage OF the Sox. however.
is greater even than the two and a
half percent shows. The chance Of
a team to overcome that handicap les
in just two elements-superiOri OF
pitching power over the attacking
power Of the opponent and luck" as
we call the breaks Of the game
Very Few Breaks.
In the coming series, luck has been
eliminated to large extent by the
extension Of the series to five ont OF
nine games. Also. it IS a notorious
fact that in baseball luck" follows
the stronger ball club
However, in this comparison OF
the teams, there Is no allowance
made for the element of @lnek.1
Therefore, we must consider the
chance Of the Reds TO overcome
the physical superiority Of their
opponents by pitching pOsEer.
The figure dope indicates that
the Reds have n pitching ndvan-
tnge (fOr the purposes Of the
seriesl OF slightly under two
percent. The White SoH figures
show their attacking superiority
to be about five and n half per-
cent.
