Demanding that the entire wage In

In the country by the railroad labor
boards wage award Of July, 1920, be
wiped out, more than one hundred and
fifty railroads appeared before the
board with renewed petitions for wage

Several roads demanded reductions
of a fiat 20 per cent cut for all en-
ployees, while others merely declared
that every basis for last years In

now time to restore the wage schedule

Of the $500, 100000 wage award.
John G. Walber, representing "a east
ern carriers, told the board that time
and one-half pay for overtime IN
freight and yard train service should
be abolished and that a schedule of
wages for the entire country was dis

Of economic laws"

GENERAL LABOR NEWS

Following the announcement OF
wage cut from 81 TO soc, 25O union
sheet metal workers of local No. "a
Milwaukee, went on strike.
In hopes of stimulating building IN
Elizabeth, N. j., and Union county, 300
members Of the Elizabeth local Of jour
neymen plumbers agreed to accept
reduction of 81 day. The new scale
calls for wages of $8 per day Of eight
hours.
New and improved machinery in
stalled in a New London (Conn) ma
chine shop has enabled the firm to
dispense with about half Of their men,
since the new machines will do the
work usually performed by two men
The new machines have also been the
means Of women and girls being able
to take the places OF men.
Loss by fire which partially de-
stroyed the plant Of the McKeesport
Tin Plate company at McKeesport,
Pa, was estimated at nearly S3,OOO,OOO
by officials Of the company. The plant
is one Of the largest In the world,
having A mills and employing nor
mally 1900 men. Approximately 1900
men will be thrown out Of work tenn
pOrarily.
AL Springfield (Mass,) building
crafts were affected by the strike that
went into effect when the Springfield
Building Trades Employers associa-
tiOn inaugurated a wage cut OF 10
cents an hour for all crafts. Several
small contractors who are not mem
bers Of the association agreed to
maintain the old scale and their men
continued at work.
A general strike OF seamen and
stokers was declared at Stockholm,
Sweden, In protest against reduc-
ton Of 30 per cent In wages. Ship
owners are showing no alarm as, with
rs per cent of the Swedish merchant
marine already laid up through eco
nomic depression, they claim they will
obtain a sufficient number Of Volun-
teers to man the active feet
Slight improvement IN the general
business situation is indicated in the
May report of the Massachusetts state
department Of labor and industries,
which shows an increase In the de-
mand for help by employers. The de-
mand has been large In building trade
lines and painting, the supply Of ap-
plicants, however, exceeding the de-
mand. Registration for positions have

With the fall manufacturing season
at hand, a strike Of $4,000 cloak, suit
and skirt workers was averted at New
York by an agreement under which
the workers are said to promise an
increased production Of 25 per cent
with their wages at presenter war
levels The agreement, although tenn
porary, is considered satisfactory to
both sides as under II the manufac-
turers gain what they sought, greater
production, and the garment workers
are not forced to accept a cut.
The Fox River (Wis.) Master Build
ers' association turned deaf ear to
the pleas of mayors and the presidents
of chambers of commerce Of six cities
to meet the carpenters and settle
the controversy, although the carpen-
ters adopted resolutions to arbitrate.

ployment figures for Greater Berlin
are much larger, and that now there
are 134, 500 unemployed against 79,6O0

BY BILLY EVANS
Worlds Greatest Baseball Expert

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Who will
win the world series of 1921!
In the old days it was possible to
get an answer to a lot of things by
having Aladdin massage his ole
lamp. Those were the happy days.
There being no modern Aladdins
available, it becomes necessary TO
consult the dope pot. and pluck
therefrom bits of inside information
about the leading players. compare
these players and draw a conclusion
In the racing game when an au-
thority seeks TO pick the winner, he
considers the past performance OF the
entries, the condition of the track.
the ability of the jockey. the liking
for the distance, and the class of the
field. That is called handicapping
them, and arriving at a conclusion
as to the likely winner. 1t all reads
very nice if the horses u r to
form, but they seldom do. The same
goes for baseball.
Let us take the members of the
New York Giants and Yankees.
make a comparison of the players at
their respective positions, decide
which is the superior at that partic-
ular spot, add up our deductions.
and see what the dope pot offers in
the way of determining the winner.
Comparison of the Infelders
l will first compare the infields OF
the two clubs.
At third base Frisch will oppose
either McNally or Baker. Frisch is
a remarkable ball player. He is
very fast, a good fielder and has a
great arm. trisch can boot" a ball
around considerable. and then get
his man through the medium of his
great arm. He is one of the few
players whose record shows that
stealing bases is not a lost art.
Frisch hits both ways, so is not
bothered by either style of pitching.
When a left handler opposes the
Giants he simply shifts to the right
side of the plate.
McNally will field as well as
Frisch. and is nearly as fast, but
of course will not hit as well as the
Giants third sacker. Baker will hit
as well, but lacks the speed and will
not play as we'll defensively as
Frisch. Thus a comparison of the
possible third base candidates gives
that honor to Frisch of the Giants.
How Shortstops Measure Up
In my opinion, in Peckinpaugh
and Bancroft, two of the greatest
shortstops in the history of the
game will be put against each
other. l have worked in many a
series in which Bancroft has played,
and have often seen him in action,
so that 1 a appreciate his great
worth.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-10-04

, On the other hand, to my way of
thinking, Peckinpaugh is truly a
marvel. For years / have been
watching him do the seemingly i'm
possible. so it is very likely hat |
am a bit prejudiced in his favor. At
handling a thrown ball with his
/ gloved hand he is without a peer.
He reminds you of Larry Lajoie in
that respect. He raj go to his right
or left with equal ease and has a
strong arm. Peckinpaugh is not fast
of foot, neither is he slow. At the
bat he is not a great hitter. but
/ certainly consider him a danger
Gus one.
Bancroft is a great ball player.
Hughey Jennings once told me there
never was a better shortstop.
/ Hughey was a star at that position
himself, has seen a lot of cracks in
action, and should be competent to
express an opinion. Bancroft. like
Frisch. shifts to the right or left
side of the plate according TO the
style of pitching the opposition Of
fers. He is a remarkable fielder,
fast on his feet. and, like Peck, uses
his brains as well as his feet and
arms.
1AtCtHllN W1tIl MoihlliN III 1NCN
York. l did a little investigating as
TO how the New York scribes regard
ed the two shortstops. I asked
twelve writers for their opinion. Six
of them favored Bancroft, four liked
Peckinpaugh best, and two said 1t
was a toss up.
Perhaps no body of men are in a
better position to pass judgment on
the New York teams, and while the
majority of the writers favored Ban
croft, the best l can give him is a
draw. / regard the two great play
ers as of about equal value to their
respective teams.
Ward is Better Than Rawlings
At second base | would rate Ward
as better than Rawlings. They are
different types, and perhaps Raw
| lings might have a greater appeal to
McGraw than Ward, because he is
an aggressive fighter, who over
comes some of his shortcomings by
| his spirit and dash. He plugged the
big hole at second in the Giants in
field, and is the type of player who
may go big, yet on form Ward must
be conceded the second-base honors.
At first base the line is perhaps
drawn a little more closely. Kelly is
a big fellow, who offers a good tar
get for his infield, and at the bat is
always dangerous. home runs being
his strong forte. Pipp is an equally
good fielder. and just as good a hit
ter, although he won't get the dis
lance to his drives that Kelly does.
Pipp. to my way of thinking, is a
much better first baseman than he
is generally rated. If he has a glar-
ing fault it is a tendency to throw
wild at times. 1 think Pipp is en-
titled to a slight margin over Kelly.

Evans DECLARES YANkS HAVE SLIGHT EDGE
ON GIANTS; COMPARES STRENGTH OF PLAYERS

On the other hand the Giant Pitch
ing staff in the final six weeks of the
season mas shown its best form. 1
feel hat McGraw has the edge on
the pitching situation.
Summing Up of Both Teams
Thus a esume would give the
Giants the edge, back of the bat. in
the box, at third base and in CENTER
field, with a draw at shortstop. The
Yankees get the edge at first and
second. in left and right field. and a
draw at shortstop. That makes four
points for each contender and n
tie.
Since pitching usually decides the
outcome of every world series. It
would appear that a system of hand-
icapping would award the best
chance to win to the Giants.
The big point at issue is. will the
admitted superiority of the Giants
staff be able to suppress the murder
Gus offense of the Yankees? 1t IS
some job to turn that trick. I have
my doubts If the Giants twirlers Will
be able to do it.
Mays, while not al the top of his
game, is sure to prove most trouble
some to the Giants. His peculiar
style of delivery is as effective as the
SUN ne mas Oh TIE Jail L LCCi 10
Mays will turn in a couple of vic-l
tories, and has a chance of winning
three. If Shawkey was in form I
would positively pick the Yankees.
but his bad arm makes him a big
question mark. Hoyt can be de-
pended upon for a couple of good
games. 1 look for Nehf and Toney
to prove tough for the Yankees.
Kerr. a pitcher like Nehf. beat the
Yankees six times in eve starts.
Coveleskie, a great splitter like Doug
las, won only one game in seven
starts from the Yanks.
l don't look for alright pitching
from either side. and believe there
will be more free hitting than last
year. That fact makes me give the
Yankees a slight edge. l look for
the series to go eight games, possibly
the limit . If 1 was manager of the
Yankees the gameness of the Giants
would be my greatest worry. They
quit.

Giants Stronger Behind Plate

Back of the bat the houors go to
the Giants. / believe that Schang
will rate up with either Snyder or
! Smith. but his understudies lack ex-
perience. Devormer has shown great
possibilities, and seems destined TO
; be a star. but it would be asking a
great deal for him to share the
world series burden. in his first year
in the majors.
snyder and Smith are fine receive
ers and hard hitters. Snyder usual
ly works against left-handed pitch
ing, and Smith when a Highlander
is opposing. Both players are ex-
tremely dangerous al the bat and
have the home-run habit. Schang
is doing the best catching of his
career and is a very dangerous bats
man.
In the outfield we have Meusel of
the Giants opposed to Babe Ruth,
i'm a battle for the left field honors.
Meusel is a fine ballplayer and a
great hitter. He may prove more
useful than Ruth In the series, but
of course the left field honors must
be slipped to Babe" 1t isn't be-
cause of his home-run record either,
because Ruth is a splendid fielder. a
good thrower and for a big fellow,
fast on the bases. | might d that
Meusel does not suffer much in COM
parison with ~basebalrs outstanding
star.
In center field George Burns of
the Giants, who in my opinion is
one of the games greatest fielders,
has the call over Miller of the
Yankees. Miller is a good fielder
and a fair hitter. His work in CEN
ter field has greatly helped the
Yankees. Burns does everything
well.
Meusel Shades Young by Hitting
Bob Meusel of the Yankees has
Young of the Giants as his opponent.
If Bob Meusel took baseball seri-
ously he would go down in history
as one of the games greatest stars.
AS a right-handed hitter he has al
most as much power as Ruth. He
! lacks initiative and aggressiveness.
However, he is such a remarkable
batsman that l feel he is entitled to
| the shade over Young. / feel that
hitting alone decides the margin in
the case of these two players.
Yankee Hurlers Not in Best Form
In my two previous articles | have
discussed at length the pitching
strength of the two teams. The staff
of the New York American League
team is not going into the series in
the best of shape. Shawkey has a
sore arm, and Mays in the final
stages of the race showed signs Of
overwork. Hoyt is in fine form and
should do great work in the series.
Quinn may give one good game.
Lack of control makes Collins and
Harper doubtful.
