New York, Sept. 25.-On the
dope figured right up to today, and
counting in last seasons sheets as
we'll as those of 1929, it looks like
the Yanks would have the edge on
the Giants at shortstop. The Giants
look somewhat better than the
Yanks at second base.
Frisch will play second base for
the Giants this year in the world
series if nothing happens. He play
ed third last year and did well be-
cause luck was with him. He did
not field clearly and was fortunate
that he knocked down and recov-
cred some Of the hot drives that
came to him.
He is likely to do something SEN
sational any time. His tremendous
activity makes that possible. He
does not play some ground hits
right in spite OF his experience
but he goes after everything in his
vicinity. He may cover a little
more ground than his rival, Ward,
and it is because he is a much
quicker starter than Ward.
He throws we'll and pivots fairly
well for double plays. He will not
have much of that to do as Ban
croft pivots better than Frisch and
takes the play wheneverpossible.
Ward played second in the world
series of 1921 and after a brilliant
exhibition, which most of the fans
seem to have forgotten, was unfor-
tunate enough at the very finish OF
the series to make misplay which
! proved costly. Had it been in the
first game it would not have seem
ed so disastrous.

In batting it is not likely tina

Sept. 2S.-If the field remaining to-
day in the Women's National Golf
Championship had been handpick-
ed instead of having played its
way thus far in the tournament, it
could scarcely contain more favor
lites. After today, however, there
will be different story to tell.

portunity to become the sensation

game does not seem quite up to the
Collett standard, which is pretty
high in woman's golf, but the same
might have been said of her when
she covered herself with undying
glory last year. by eliminating the
great Britisher, Mrs. Cecil Leitch,
at Hollywood.
! Miss Edith Cummings has not
played the snappy golf she is cap
able of since the tournament start
ed and unless she finds herself
quickly she may come badly out of
her match with Mrs Ronald Bar
low, who is not golfer to be trified

Miss Cummings but she is steady
and consistent. Consistent golf is
hard to beat.
| Golf enthusiasts are wondering
whether Mrs. Quentin Feitner can
break through the barrier that has

championship for many years. She
has always had a long game but
weakness in approaching and put
ting has cost her several cham
pionship matches and may crop up
! in her match with Mrs. Arnold
Jackson, former champion.
The match between Miss Alexa
Stirling and Mrs. w. A. Gavin may
serve to settle long standing
question of supremacy. These
stars have met twice before this
year. Miss Stirling won at Shaw

Scott GiUes Edge At Shorstop

Euens Up for National Champs

Ward will brood more over mis-

Of the other player.
Scott Best Shortstop.
: Scott is the best world series
shortstop n the history Of baseball.
He played his first world series in
1915 against the Philadelphia Nc
tionals. In 1916 he played against
Brooklyn and in 1918 against the
Chicago Nationals. In all these Sc
ries he was with Boston and Bos-
ton won in 1915 and 1916 with one
defeat and in 1918 with two. SCOTS
defensive work at short was akin to
marvellous. He played shortstop
and q deep third base as we'll.
Some one has said thatshe did not
play with as much strength to his
second base side as to his right
side. That is not exactly correct.
Bancroft Uncertain.
Bancroft has never played well
in a world series. He has never
shown the skill in the post season
games that he has in the regular
season. 1t is true that he has made
splendid plays in world series
games but there has been an uncer-
tainty about his work which some
times is characteristic of his field
ing during the year. 1t is not due
to negligence nor to carelessness
but arises from cause exactly the
reverse, his desire to do well.
Bancroft made the Philadelphia
Nationals championship team
for the National league in 1915
but the Phillies won only q single
game from Boston, the first at Phil
adelphia, 8 to l, and then stopped
as if some one had cut the brake
hose. There was no tremendous
superiority in records between the
!! teams but Boston played with the
consciousness of greater strength
than Philadelphia and Bancroft was
not always at his best.
In 1921 Bancroft played his sec
ond world series at shortstop ant
again was uncertain. He could hi
nothing in spite Of the fact that ht

to Rock Island this season.

Jimmy Councilman is too we'll

to have the squad in. fit shape, not

Green Bay has been five years
pro champions OF Wisconsin. In all
that period it has lost only four
games, twice to Beloit, once to Rock
Island and once to Staleys. AS said
before, the Rock Island defeat was
the first and only one on the Green
Bay gridiron.

Island, is an "all time" squad will

however, is coaching within Sc

Buck is the real feature of the
Packers. He received considerable
notoriety recently when he turned
down a Big Ten coaching offer il
order to carry out his contrac
with the Green Bay club. A power
full lineman, years of experienc,
behind him, he constitutes rea
menace to the hopes of Rock Is
