But that isn't all. They are
sending a team out this year,
which, it is claimed, is so per cent

past. Chicago papers have already
devoted considerable space to the
prospects of the Hamburgs TO
triumph over the best teams in this
section of the country. The Daily
Journal says that the line will av-
erage around 1913 pounds, with q
backfield of 1856 pounds. If this is
true, the green jerseyed tribe will

RED FANSASK

BOX ARTISTS
There Is Not Enough Difference
Between Teams To Warrant SOx
Supporters To Give.

Chicago. Sept. 3O.-Collectively
there is apparently no such differ
ence between the White Sox and
Reds as the betting odds demanded
by the Ohioans would indicate.
Chicago is admittedly superior in
the eight positions outside the slab,
considering them as whole, but
Cincinnati has a better balanced
pitching staff, according to all the
dope that is available.
Pitching has always been the de-
termining factor in worlds series,
yet Red fans canniIly are looking
for bargains when it comes to
backing their pets with the inflated
coin of our realm. Possibly the
quantity of confidence Chicago has
in the White Sox has determined
the odds and tn Ohioans will make
the odds and the Ohioans will make
ence to the first pennant winners
Cincinnati has had what they lack
in cumulative backing.
Strong Defense To Count
When it became known that the
two major leagues had granted
Garry Hermann request for a
longer series it was at first thought
the president of the Reds had put
something over on the American
league and gained an advantage
for his team More mature consid-
Grafton, however, brought out the
fact that the longer the battle the
better the chance the team with a
stronge defense would have be-
cause it would not be necessary to
play air tight baseball all the time.
Consequently the fans look for
the most interesting and exciting
series that ever has been played
for the big pennant, not excepting
that of 1912 when it required eight
games to decide the issue between
the Red Sox and Giants.
Gleason Is Versatile.
Gleason has won the American
league championship by cutting
away from the stereotyped base
ball and embarrassing his oppon-
ents with a versatile attack, which
sometimes violated all the sacred
canons of the sport I have seen
him pull a double steal with no
body out in the first inning and
runners on third and first and get
away with it. What tactics he will
use in the coming fray nobody
knows, but it is safe to say he will
keep his antagonists guessing from
start to finish.
Moran played the careful, one
run at a time game in the worlds
series of 1915 and lost to the Red
Sox. What he will do this week re-
mains TO be seen, but with his
experience and his strong attack
ing strength he may cut away from
the stereotyped stuff and go after
a lot of runs. However. his pitch
ing strength may incline the Red
manager to stick to the conserva-
tive style and depend on one or
two tailies TO win a game.

GLEASONS' ARE
BIG FAVORITES

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Absence of
Cincinnati money in any consider
