WHITE SOX HAS
GOOD MOUND MEN
Gotham Fans Look to Dickey
Kerr as One Boy to
Bump Reds

New York, Sept 25.-There are a
lot of Gotham fans who are ready to
say that the bugs who have been
CHASING the White Sox as a two
pitcher team are crazy. Their big
gest argument against this belief is
Dickey Kerr, the Juvenile portside
hurler of the Gleason fold.
This youngster seems almost sure
to get a crack at the Reds in the
big series, and those who saw him
make monkeys out OF the Yanks
yesterday believe he is good enough
to keep Gleason from making CT
cote and Williams do a super iron
man stunt against the Morans.
If the White Sox uncork the
the brand of ball they spilled on
the Polo Grounds they can take u
chance with Bill James, Grover
Lowdermilk or Roy Wilkinson on
the mound against the Reds.
Murderous Team
Gleason has a murderous team on
the attack. and the defense of his
infield and the gardens is a la con-
crete. OF course, it would be fool
ish to believe the Sox will have any,
where near the snap with the Reds
they had in the double win over the
Yankees. But the Gleason machine

THINGS CHANGED
UNDER GLEASON
White Sox Champions Did
Not Size Up Strong at Be-
ginning; Vets in Lineup

Chicago. Sept. 25.- When kid"
Gleason succeeded Clarence Rowland
as manager of the Chicago Ameri-
cans and started the 1919 season with
the same lineup that finished sixth
the 1918 pennant race after winning
the worlds championship in 1917. few
baseball experts figured that the
White Sox would win the American
league flag this season.
But that is what has happened and
the wise ones" are offering all sorts
of reasons for the startling reversal
of form. They say that playing un-
der a new leader was a contributing
factor but all agree that perhaps
the main one was that the players
themselves entered the game this
season with renewed confidence,
following the termination of the
world war. Last season a majority
Of the White Sox were expecting to
he called into military service any
day, and this with the classification
of base ball As mon essential" was a
disturbing situation
Stars Leave Team
The 1918 White Sox was a team
grinding over the pennant road
minus some of it's main cogs. Joe
Jackson, the clubs leading batter
this season went into the shipyards
after batting 1854 for seven games:
oscar Happy" Felch, quit the club
after playing in SO games; Pitcher
Faber enlisted in the navy after win
ming five of six games, while Pitcher
Claude williams went to work in the
shipyards when he had won SIX and
lost four games. The loss of these
four players proved a staggering
blow.
Added to this loss, Eddie Cicotte,
the veteran right handed and lead
ing pitcher in 1917, was in u slump
during the entire season. winning
only IL games and losing 10. But 1t
was different Cicotte this season.
His remarkable comeback has been
one of the sensations of the year, and
his effective pitching is one of the
chief reasons why the White Sox
fnished out in front.
Veteran Lineup
That the White Sox will have prac-
tically a veteran lineup when the
baseball classic against CINCINNATI Is
shown by the following comparison
of the 1917 and 1919 lineups:
Liebold, If, 1917; Liebold. 1919.
McMullin, 3b.. 1917; Weaver. 1919.
f. Collins. 2b.. 1917; e. Collins 2b,
1919.
Jackson, If, 1917; Jackson. If, 1919
Felsch, CT. 1917; Felsch. l.f.. 1913.
Gandil, 1b.. 1917; Gandil, 1b., 1919.
Weaver SIS. 1917; Risberg, SIS, 1919
Schalk, c.. 1917; Schalk. c., 1913.
Risberg was with the club in 19l7
but was benched by Manager Row

erratic playing.

FOOTBALL FANS
BUSY SATURDAY
Tech Meets Allentown in First
Game at Island
Park

Indications are that the largest
crowd will be on hand Saturday to
see Tech open its football season
that has ever greeted u maroon
squad in an opening contest. Local
sport patrons are anxious to show
their appreciation tor the great
brand OF football that is being de-
livered in this city by Coach Smith
and his band of Tech pigskin fol-
lowers. Last year brought a big
championship, and Captain "Haps"
Frank with a, good nucleus OF play
ers from last years champion team
can be depended upon to bring more
laurels to this city.
Coach Smith Will use q squad of
twenty in the Allentown contest. In
terest will, of course, center in the
backfeld, where Lingle, Beck and
Wllsbach will act as the wrecking
crew for opposing lines and ends.
Garrett will likely be the fourth
man in the backtield. Red" Nc
Cord and George Germer will also
do some performing in the back
field.
Beck to Do Kicking
Carl Beck has been doing some
great kicking and Coach Smith will
depend on him to do the booting.
Not many college players are in his
class. Tony Wilsbach will kick
the goals from field and from touch
down, with Captain Frank holding
the oval-shaped ball.
Chances favor Johnny" Smith
for the center post. Joe Reese must
also be reckoned for this place.
Smith has been brilliant on the base
ball field as well as in the cage.
There is no reason in the world why
he should not develop into a star
football player. Zip" Malick has
had a bunch of hard luck with a
bruised leg and burns from iodine.
He will probably be on the side
lines for the opening contest.
Good End Players
Snaps" Emanuel and Malick are
leading for the ends positions, but
are being pushed by "Midge" Mat
ter and Gotshall. Another lad who
is using his avoirdupois to a good
advantage is Sausage Dog" Marcus.
He has been showing good form out
at end, and will be hard lad to
keep from the squad.
At tackle Captain Frank and
Johnny" Arnold hold the lead. But
for their places and at the guards
are Aldinger, Ace. Eaton, Fat Ell
linger, Pleam and Lutz. They have
all had several years experience on
the reserves, and are about due for
a varsity berth.
Allentown has the advantage OF
having already played one contest
but Tech is sure to repeat history
and give the Lehigh countians
good walloping. The game Will start
at o'clock.

Golf Miracle Comes With
Big Match at Forest Hills

New York, Sept. 25. = A golfing
miracle was accomplished yesterday at
the Forest Hills field club in New Jer-
sey, when George S. Stewart and Fred
Sleppmyer halved the 18th hole in one.
Stewart teed off first hitting the iron
shot for the hole las yards away, and
watched his ball trickle into the hole.
Then sleppmyer stepped up and drove
off. His ball dropped upon the green
and after short run clicked against
the back of the cup and fell into the
hole for an "eagle" one.

looked so powerful that it hummed
like one that can take a grade many
times.
There seems to be a little doubt
that the Red pitching staff holds the
bag for victory or defeat. Slim Sa-
lee, Walter Reuther and Hod Eller.
as well as the lesser luminaries
among the Moran hurlers who may
be called upon, are going to keep
looking at about seven deadly dan
gerous batsmen in every game and 1t
will be novelty to all but the slim
veteran.
They say the Hose can't hit left
handed pitching. Moran had better
check his starboard pitchers in the
clubhouse then, because that Glea-
son bunch can hit righthanders.
