IulS SIIudlIoU uIliiSS INCAAs NAAS CNA'N@ Sox southpaw, to the front. He is one of the few mystery men in this series, and if Gleason decides that left-handers are good to use against the Reds, Kerr will have an excellent opportunity to win his spurs Kerr is young and com paratively untried. He and James will divide the honors of taking the slab while Cicotte and Williams are resting. Pat Moran has two good southpaws- Beuther, a youngSter who has done well this year, and that wise old owl of base hall, Slim Salee. Rusther was practi- cally developed this year after he had been passed up by Manager Mitchell of the Cubs. He is Pacific coast prod uct, and like so many such, has size to recommend him. He is young and game. He has speed to burn and fair curve. He hasn't much else. It will be surprising if the Sox cannot beat him.
 SALLEE AN OLD-TIMER
 As for Sallee, this old-timer has pitched as long as Cicotte, and he has picked up lot of baseball knowledge along the way He is not as good as he was seven or eight years ago, but that does not signify that he has not a lot left in his repertoire. Sallee can make it very tough for the opposition for five innings or so if his support stands up After that most anything may hap pen
 Sallee makes a formidable showing when he arrays an his talents in ball game He has a wicked cross-fire de- livery This, combined with his good control, his courage and his intelligence, makes a dangerous combination. He re- lies much on that cross-fire of his, This calls for the use of speed, and on this account the slow ball is not likely to enter into the Reds offensive when Sal lee is on the mound
 A. great burden of responsibility rests on Claude Williams shoulders. His rec ord this year pla'e him on a par with ticotte and in a nine-ganae world series it will be up to him to win as many games as the peerless Eddie.
 Williams seems to have the physique and disposition to carry his share of the load. He is small in size, but makes up for the lack in weight by the tough ness of his frame. He is wiry and wary quantities of hard toll and with this endurance has wise head.
 One advantage he has possessed b1 very few pitchers is his power to cam ouflage his delivery. He has the unusua ability of hiding the ball when winding up and this adds to his effectiveness With most pitchers the batter is able t
  leaves his hand. With Williams it is no SO The batter cannot see the ball. Ofte1 his first glimpse of it is when it is al most on him at the plate.
 WILLIAMS STOCK
 Williams uses speed. cross-fire an curve. His slow ball is a bluff. Hi control is excellent and in addition n fields his position we'll
 Kerr is just finishing his first year i the majors. He is the smallest pitehe in either of the big leagues. His ap pearances this season have been suf1l cient to show the fans that he has abou everything a good pitcher should pos sess. Above all, he has an inexhaustibl store of nerve. His speech is remark able and one wonders how so small bodv is able to develop such speed on ball.
 of course 1t is difficult to surmis what a man like this will be aoie 10 U under the stress and strain of worl series But the elements are there an ir would not be surprising to have hei
