G.eason's Men Cannot be Accused OF
Being One Star Team When They
Face the Reds Piloted by
Moran.
EVERY PLAYER IS COG
The "kid'sn Machine is a Smooth
Running Affair With Every Man
important Bearing in Its
Action.

Standing out clearly above all rivals
in the league which they are soon 10
represent in the worlds series, the
Chicago White Sox have all but cllnch-
ed the honors for which they have
been battling since last April.
1t has been charged at times in the
mast that one league or the other
boosted OF q team that was as strong
an the close of the campaign than
the pennant winner. This may have
been due TO the addition OF star play
ers late in the season, or TO accloents
and other breaks in luck, which gave
one club an advantage over the other.
no such cry can be raised ABOUT tne
White SoN of 1919, who have estap
lIished their right to represent the
American league by general SUPERIOR
iitv in practically every department OF
play.
Gleason's team has played as GOOD
than this season as the best products
q of the American league in years gone
iby. The great Athletics of l9ll-l5-lt'
+ and the Red Sox teams OF 19l2-lo.lo'
were unusual combinations, but nelth.
or team excelled the White Sox OF
This wear except in one particular.
Nacs Stahl and Carrigan had more
hsgh-class pitchers TO call upon than
/ Gleason has had this year, but the
