WHITE SOX C[|NCH
THEIR FIFTH FLAG
Four Clubs Still Pennantless
in American League.
Ruth's Crown Undisputed.
M DENMAN THOMPSON.

All speculation as to the American
League entrant in the world series
was ended yesterday, when the pen
nant was made doubly secure for the
White Sox by their defeat of the
Browns, while Cleveland's contend
ers were being humbled by the De-
troit Tigers 1t took Gleason's team
longer to sew up the flag than was
expected, the end coming only hve
days before the close of the season,
but with full week before the strug-
gle for the highest honor in base ball
is scheduled to start the Sox will have
plenty of time to prepare for the
classic, in which victory will bring the
double reward of honor and coin.
Pennants for the White Sox are get
ting to be an old story. Cincinnatfs
victory. this season is the nrst ever
attained by the Queen city. while
of FIVE flag winners, the others being
in 1900. 1901, 1906 and 1917. Four of
the clubs in the American League
Washington, st. Louis. New York and
Cleveland-have yet to attain the
peak, annual honors in the twenty
years since the circuit was organized
having been divided between Chicago,
Boston. Philadelphia and Detroit. The
Athletics and Red Sox each have won
six flags, the White Sox five and the
Tigers three. Cleveland this year put
with the usual season of 154 games
might have overhauled the Gleason
ties. Perhaps next year one OF the
thus far unrewarded clubs may up
set precedent, as the Reds did in the
National League this year.

at the showing Of the Sox. He had
held out hope for them from the very
start, believing that once the club got

Gleason has put a winner over for

appear prophetic.

Shines Everywhere.
In the 1910 world series. when the
Philadelphia Athletics startled the
base ball world by defeating the sup
posed invincible Chicago Cubs four
games out of five, Collins made his
debut as a world series performer;
Every account Of the games that
have at hand says that the splendid
fielding, batting and base running of
Collins was the outstanding feature
Of the series. He didn't shine in one
department. but all Of them. All Col
Inns did in that series was to bat .42s
| in Ave games, getting nine hits In
| four bases.
| In 1911 Collins came right back
with another stellar performance. In
this series he fell below the 800 mark
getting q mark OF 1856. yet his bat
ting in a way featured the series
and was in large measure response

he batted 400 and fielded million

that way. and l have been greatly

OF these towns are familiar with

When We played at Columbia, S. c..
a large majority OF the men In the

the men who fought for Uncle Sam

were before they went across. Base
ball maintains its place as the great
American game. game peculiarly
reflective OF the hustling qualities OF
