DEPEND ON INFIELD
World Series Forecast Is for
Much Bat Connecting.
Brooklyn Has the Edge, But
Only on OffeRse.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.


New York, Sept. 29.-Much of the
success of the club winning the world
series depends upon the work of the
infield.
Between the infields of the two
clubs that seem booked to take part
in the seasons baseball classic, there
is little to choose.
Brooklyn. which cinched the pen
nant in the National league, has a
peculiar combination, consisting of an
outfielder on third base, a third base
man playing second and shortstop
that the Brooklyn fans have been rid
ing all season.
Cleveland. which seems a certain
winner in the American league, has
nothing to boast of. but Speakers
troubles are caused by the lamentaple
loss of Ray Chapman, one of the best
shortstops in the league, and the
Jumping of Joe Harris, last years
star first baseman.
Between Ed Konetchy and Doc
Johnston, Brooklyn seems to have the
more dependable man on first base.
Both are veteran players. Both are
DANGEROUS at the bat Honey, how
ever, is the better fielder and is faster
on his feet. On late season work also
lie has been more consistent at the
bat Both players are weak in the
legs and have been relieved frequently
during the season.
At second base. it is almost toss
up between Pete kilduff and WAN
by VAN bsganss. On the offense'
KiIduff gets the shade but on the de-
Tense Wamby is a more finished fielder
and is much faster on the bases Botn
are young players and neither has had
world series experience
wv Olson at shortstop is player
who keeps the fans on edge every
chance he gets. He is one of the hard
est working players on the Brooklyn
club but is erratic in the extreme He
should make a good world series play
er. however, as he has stood up all
season under the constant razzing Of
the fans and does his best right along
without a bobbIe. Against the Cleve-
land youngster. Sewell. who viii be
allowed to play by Brooklyn. Olson
gets the choice merely because ne IS
more experienced and less liable to
suffer nerves"
Larry Gardner gets the call at third
base Jimmy Johnston brother OF
Doc" has made good after being
switched from the outfield. but he ism
capable of the calibre of play in the
veteran Clevelander. Gardner is rated
by most pitchers as the most danger
Gus batter in the league and he Is
brilliant, smart fielder.
on the offensive, it would seem that
the Brooklyn infield is superior by a
slight shade and inferior to Cleveland
on the defense However. the Indians
have a smoother working combination
and one that can be depended upon
more in a pinch. It seems on the
whole that the infield honors must
be given to Cleveland

Asks Operators TO Reopen Wage
Farley for the Tonnage Miners

Farley for the Tonnage Miners
Pittsburg. Kan. Sept. 29.-Alex-
ander Howat, president of district IA
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, has written letter to Ira Clemens,
president of the Southwestern Inter-
state Coal Operators association, re-
questing a joint conference between
officials representing the miners and
operators to be held in Kansas City
Monday, October 4.
The purpose of the joint conference,
Mr.. Howat declared, would be to Sc
cure a, more satisfactory wage adjust
ment for miners in district IA. At a
joint conference in Kansas City several
weeks ago the operators agreed to in
crease the wages of day men $3.50 a
day. No provision was made for an
increase in the wages of the tonnage
men. If the new conference can be
arranged for Monday, Mr.. Howat ex-
poets to present the demands of the
tonnage men for a proportionate in
crease in wages with the day men.
Mr.. Howat sent his letter to Mr..
Clemens after receiving a statement
from operators officials that they re
spectfully but firmly decline a re-
opening of the contract" which was
signed by the miners and operators in
Kansas City September 2, 1920.
