WHITE SOX OF 1920 AS GOOD AS CUBS
 OF l906-l0-COBB

From the Pittsburg Leader.
 Old Chicago Cubs, rated by some in their championship days as the best combination that ever shredded an op- ponent's pants with their spikes, have a real if not worthy rival for this dis tinction in the recently demolished White Sox.
 At least that is the opinion of no less an, expert than Ty Cobb. And Ty has a mighty high opinion of the Cubs of the Chance regime. But it is not at all certain that he doesn't rate the late, unlamented White Sox trifle higher. One might at least place that interpre- tatlon of his rather impersonal re- marks.
 How do the teams of today compare with those of a decade or more ago, as. for instance, the Cubs of 1s06-7- -s-1O?'' was the direct question put to the great Detroit outfielder.
 1opD didn't answer quite so directly.
 Chance unquestionably was a great leaoer and player, and he had won oerruI ball team" said Cobb But you would have to travel a long ways be- lore you would find team the equal of the White Sox of this year. They mad good pitching, the punch, superla- tlve fielding-in short, everything which combines to make a great ball ciuo. What a pathetic end for one of the greatest teams of all timer

JENNINGS WOULD CHANGE
 GIANTS COACHING SYSTEM

The Giants in New York until recent ly have always had the lions share of Gotham's baseball patronage, largely due to the fact they have been repre- sented by team of well schooled ball players coached by a postmaster in the technique of the game who ruled with mailed fist" constantly driving them for all he was worth. These czar-like methods have produced results and ike wise they have become exceedingly un- popular when eventually revealed
 With the advent of Jennings should he assume supreme command, the en- tire team will undergo vast change for the better. For Hughe is the type of manager a ball player will strive his hardest for. As far as personality, he has no equal in the game today, and Withal he is, a diplomat of the diamond par excellence

n CHAS. GRlMM'S JOB SAFE WITH PITTSBURG PIRATES

Another Southern leaguer who will un- doubtedly find his job safe in the big leagues next season is Lefty Grimm. who first sacked for the Little Rot-s Travellers a couple of seasons ago before being sold to the Pirates. Here's what Richard Guy. sporting editor of the Pittsburg Leader. has to say about it:
 Barney Dreyfuss is signing first base men galore for the Pirates, but when the season opens next April we will see Char ley Grimm back on thesbag Grimm has 'em all beaten when it comes to field ing. and he is favorite with the crowd In point of popularity he is liked more by the fans than any firstsacker here since the days of old Jake Beckley, the Hit 'em down the alley.

 Grimm did not hit last year, but the grandstand patrons never complained.''

SULLIVAN 10 INTRODUCE
 BASEBALL IN s. AMERICA

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 Believing that baseball will survive the Chicago revolutions, Ted Sullivan, Who has been identified with the sport as promoter, manager and scout for more than 40 years. will sail for South America on a Lloyd-Brazil line steam ship November 20 to introduce the na- tional game in various cities, including Buenos Aires and Rio Janero.
 Sullivan arranged the world tour of the Giants and White Sox six years ago. He discovered Buck Weaver and other members of the White Sox and signed Comiskey to play first base for the fa- nous St. Louis Browns of 35 years ago.
 Sullivan said the other day that next year he would take two picked teams of major league stars to South America, where baseball, in his opinion, will find much favor.

 Tt is hoped and believed by the members of the new National leaguo that the high character of the chairman, of the board of control and those to be elected as associate members will be a sufficient guarantee to the baseball. leVing public that the national game will be conducted on the high plane W hich public interests and public nor a,ity demands. 1t is thought that with the aid of board of control of the character indicated, laws will be on acted which will forever stamp out gambling in connection with baseball
 It is the belief of the members of, the new National league that the pub- lie control under which they volun- tarily place themselves today willy in large measure, wipe out the politics nf league and inter-league affairs which has resulted in untoward conditions. with which the public is familiar. It Is believed that the new method of yot- irg, by clubs instead of leagues. will have twofold affect of, first, prevent li.s CIuDS III dlly IedS ut rom being longer in the position of having ne voice in inter- league affairs; and second, will prevent the recurrence of a lcng continued deadlock in the in- ability of organized baseball to choose q presiding officer of it's controlling board. The deadlock in the selection of the chairman of the defunct national commission. due largely to league poli- tics, is mainly responsible for the To l,-xx a1~.l1 Ia l.NA A~1. gone."
 The statement was signed by rep resentative of each club taking part in the formation of the new league.
 HEYDLER LEAVES
 President Johnson and several of his friends left tonight for Kansas City apparently having been informed pri- vately of the action being saken by the T. clubs. Most of the other baseball men also left as soon as the announce nent of the new league was made an1 two hours after the action was taken only few men connected with major league clubs were in the city. No statements were made by President Clark Griffith concerning the new ieague.
 Reports that President Johnson ha l obtained the support of 12 of the mi TOT league clubs meeting in Kansas City would not be verified.
 one minor league club owner said he ifnderstood that there was a plan to dcpose Secretary Farrell of the Ma tioDal Association of Minor Leagues apd replace him with Mike Sexton If Rock Island, who was said to be q Johnson supporter.
