GLEASON GETS CREDIT FOR SOX
 WINNING FLAG

Chicago, Oct, 2.---Real baseball b .zed by real teamwork, that is what ezperts on the national game see be- hind the 1919 American league pen r4nt victory of the Chicago White Sg1z, who today are awaiting chance t. demonstrate their baseball ability against the National league contend CTS for the world flag. But teamwork is not the only thing, they say, that has brought about a winning aggrega- ttOn.
 They point to Eddie Cicotte, with his famous knuckle and shine ball, as d big reason alone for the position >,f Comiskey's mighty baseball machine. He is declared to be the pitching mar vel of modern baseball, winning some thing like 90 games this season With out him, they say, the White Sox's chances would not have been so bright.
 Of course a pitcher cannot do it all experts declare in naming Catcher Ray SchsIk as another reason for the victorious work of the White Sox- He, they contend, has had much to with turning many a defeat into victory by his quick headWOrk, for which he has been noted since his leap from the minors to the Chicago club eight years ago.
 But the man named as the person chiefly responsible for the success of the White Sox is Manager William '.Kid' Gleason, who has batted for a perfect average as leader of a gath ering of temperamental athletes. One baseball critic in calling attention to his work said:
 ''GIeason has built to almost base nau perfection the team that stands IS the American leagues best; he has overcome obstacles that the mere fan would shudder even to think of, and Ie has displayed a genius to which White Sox packers do not hesitate to point
 Many times the manager has been accused of overworking Cicotte and Williams, his leading aces, but when The regular fan stops to think about those working in the bull pen almost every day, he comes to realize that Cicotte and Williams are conspicuous by their absence. Only once this sea- son was Cicotte sent to the bull pen to warm up for five minutes before he went in and finished Q, game. Will Hams was sent to the bull pen only a few times. In this way Gleason aid not overwork his leading twirlers many 1dIS nave DCSAt ASS~H . U think.
 Other. reasons for the victory are enumerated by these same critics ot the game. They include, Charles R1s- berg, surprise infielder of 1919i Lefty Williams, who has been talk ing his regular turn with Cicotte and delivering the goods, being the best southpaw in the American league; and Eddie Collins, playing 1T the best form of his long baseball career
 Tn addition there is Joe Jackson fielding as he never did before, ant hitting the ball on the nose, until h' is flirting with the top of the Ameri can league batters; George Buck Weaver, one of the most daring base ball players in the game, with hi: pep and dash; Memo" Liebold Chick Gandil, Happy F'elsch, Ed die Murphy, John Collins and Dick Kerr the diminutive pitcher whr toward the close of the season, hac developed to the point where he be came an ace. Kerr is one of th' gamest pitchers in the league, anC there seems to be nothing in a bal game that he cannot do well.

Weight Throwing of
 Old Days Couldn't
 Touch Present Marks

It Is interesting to note how the 56 pound weight figures have been boosted since c. 4. J. Queckberner made the record heave of 26 feet 3 If inches back in 1888. Queckber- ner's record stood until 1894, when James Sarsdeld Mitchell came over from Ireland and astounded the world by heaving the heavy missile 35 feet 10 inches. MitchelPs figures stood the test Of seven years com petition.
 In 1901 another mighty man from the Emerald Isle, John Flanag gan, wiped Mitchell's figures off the books John threw the 56 a distance of 36 feet 1-2 inches. In 1904 Flanagan boosted the figures to 37 feet ' 3-S inches, and in 1907 to 38 feet 8 inches, and in 1907 to 38 feet inches. The last named mark of FIanagan's s stood till 1911, when McGrath in the Canadian championships at Montreal made the present worlds record of 10 feet 3-8 inches.
 Another American record that Is likely to be smashed at any time is George Bronder's javeIin figures of 190 feet inches. Both Bronder and his cIubmate, Jim Lincoln. are likely to turn the trick at any time. Each of them has reached 191 feet in prac- tice, and sooner or later they will hurl a like distance in competi- l tiOn
