BY ROY GROVE

frankie Frisch, the youth who this
season has revived the lost major
league art of base stealing, brings
an interesting angle into the world
series:
Can he duplicate the feats of stars
of the past? Or has world series
base stealing gone into the discard
along with the strike3ut kings?
Frisch, third haseman with the
Giants, has stolen more than so
bases on National League pitchers
this year, almost double the thefts Of
his nearest competitors in b,ih cir
cults.
And now Frisch is going into the
world series to face the cream OF
American League pitchers. WHAT Il
he do? How good will he be?
Based on standards of bygone
wears. Frisch's record for the sea-
son should be good for half dozen
thefts in the big tilt. But on the
face of results in the past few sea
sons, he'll be lucky to collect two.
Eddie Collins is the premier thief
among world series players-speak-
ing of base thefts, of coures. The
White Sox speed merchant has figur-
ed in six of the fall classics and has
grand total of fourteen sacks check
ed up to his credit.

Even Eddie is finding the going Of
recent years more difficult. One
stolen base was the best he could do
against Cincinnati in the series with
the Reds in 1919, although he had
no difficulty in working Cub pitchers
for four sacks when with the Ath-
letics in the 1910 series.
Back in 1907, Slalge Of the Cubs,
stole six bases during the world Sc
ries AGAINST Detroit, and two years
later Honus Wagner, the doughty Pr
rate veterans, duplicated the feat
against the same team.
In 1909 Wagner stole second three
times in the third game Of the series.
In the fifth game honus went to
first when he was hit by a pitcher
He swiped second and then third.
BY this time the pitcher was excited
and Honus worked him into throwing
the ball over the third baseman's
head and then scrambled home.
In the Cub-Detroit series in 1908,
with two out, Tv Cobb singled. Then
he stole second and third, and he
and Rossman nearly pot away with
delayed double steal.
Why do you hear Of ambling all
the way around without hit in the
classics of TODAY?

VAR CONTRACTING
RENEWED INLA.
However, New Orleans Business
Men Proceed With Plans For
Winter Meet

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26. r. De-
spite the fact that the special Session
of the Louisiana legislature, now in
session in Baton Rouge, has before ii
an anti-race dope BILL the passage
of which, it is claimed, will kill rae
ing in this state, the Business Mems
Racing Association, of New Orleans,
is going ahead with preparations for
the biggest mid-winter race meet ever
held in the South.
Representative R. ]. Weinmann, of
New Orleans, is the author of the
race track dope bill. 1t prohibits the
publication of any kind of dope on
races, betting odds, OOPS as to prob.
able results or probable odds. 1t
also prohibits the transmission of this
dope by telegraph or telephone.
The purpose of the Weinmann bin
is to knock out the handbook. To
accomplish this purpose, however,
followers of the racing game claim,
its passage will kill racing. The bill
will be vigorously fought
The introduction of the Weinmana
bill has not halted the work of r. S.
Eddy, general manager Of the B. VI
R. A., in preparing for TIE mid.
winter clash of the country's thor
oughbreds.
Eddy has just returned from a
visit to the Kentucky, New York
and Canadian racing centers, where
he booked lle greatest collection of
thoroughbreds that ever faced the
starters BARRED. The crack stables
of all the millionaire horsemen of the
country will be brought here for the
50-days meet, starting January 4.
Among horesmen whose colors will
be seen at the fair ground track are:
NJ Block, owner of Norwich and
other crack sprinters; Frank J. Wei
ly; S. C. Hildreth, part owner of the
Rancocas stables; T. H. Griffin, who
handles the Johnson California,
stables; F. J. Johnson, Willie Shields
and Max Hirsch.
No purse will be less than $1,000,
with a $500 daily feature, as well as
a number of stakes and the Crescent
City Derby.

one base was stolen by each team,
duplicating the record made in the Sc

How come? Pitching?
Tn the heyday of base stealing,
when the players were running riot
on the sacks, they were facing such
pitchers as Mathewson, Coombs, Mar
guard and ether greats, whose per-
formances in the box have stood un-
equaled.
It isn't pitching. It is simply bet
ter knitted teamwork among the CON
tenders for the world title. The
teamwork has frightened up and the
boys who fit around the second and
the third sack work in better under
standing with the catchers.
