Chicago, Sept 2s.-The Chicago
White Sox will have decided edge
on the Cincinnati Reds in the world
series in the matter OF experience. for
while every regular on the Sox. with
the exception of Dick Kerr, has been
through the fire of a championship
series. only three members of the Reds
-Daubert, Sallee and Rariden-have
faced the strain of battling for the
baseball championship of the world.
Manager kid Gleason will send
virtually the same lineup against the
Reds which brought the worlds cham
pionship to Chicago in 1917. About the
only change will be that Risberg will
play short and Weaver .hird. In 1917
McMullin played the far corner and
Weaver short, Risberg being benched
for the titulsr games. About the only
other, change will be in the pitching
staff, and here the veteran Eddie
Cicotte probably will bear the brunt of
the work with Claude Williams, also
a veteran of the 1917 staff, running
second to him. Kerr, the diminutive
left handler, may prove the dark horse
pitcher of tn eseries. He has not had
a taste of the world series yet, but
those close to the doings of the Com
islley aggregation expect to see the
youngster hold up his end of the big
event. To fill in with the pitching,
Manager Gleason has Faber who
pitched three Of the titular games in
1917, but has not been, going so well
this season. However, this famous
pitcher may prove a surprise to those
who have watched his work this sea-
son by going in against the Red ag-
grega ton He has been slow rounding
into shape, but wise ones say that
Faber will be in there against the
Moran clan.
Manager Pat Moran. of the Reds.
though he has been through a world
series himself, as has Kid Gleason,
must rely largely on men who have
never faced the test of a short series
on which everything depended. Jake
Daubert played on the Brooklyn pen
nant winners in 1916, but the big first
baseman's record is not very impress
sive. In the 1916 series Daubert bat
ted only JIG. although during the
regular season he has hung up a record
of better than 800. Sallee and Rari-
den played with the Giants against
the White Sox in 1917. Rariden hit
.3S4 in thirteen times at bat, while
SalIee in six times up hit .167. With
the White Sox regulars, the batting
averages We're J. Collins, .2Se: Lie
bold, 400; McMullin, 1875; f. Collins, |
.409; Jackson, .304; Felscr, .273; Can |

Cicotte, 143; Risberg, 500; Faber, LAB. |
The White Sox also boast two
players who have been through more |
than one series. Eddie Collins, gen. |
orally considered the greatest second |
baseman in the game. will face the !
world series hurting for the sixth time |
when he steps to the plate against |
Morans twirlers. Collins was a mem |
Der of. the famous Philadelphia Ath-
letics during four of their pennant- |
winning seasons and played on the |
Sox in 1917. Eddie Murphy, Gleason's |
ace in pinch hitting, will go into his /
fourth series this fall. Murphy played |
with the Athletics during two of their |
championship years and also was with |
the Sox two years ago when they won |
the championship. Murphy did not i
get into the series in 1917 against the |
Giants. He is not a regular now, but |
has batted better than 400 this sea
son as a pinch hitter.
