CHISOx CAN CLINCH
CITY HONORS TODAY

CHICAGO. October 6.-The White
Sox and Cubs today were playing the
sixth game of their Windy City title
series at South Side Park. The Ameri-
can League entry has won three of the
five games that have been contested,
and another win for the Comiskeyites
would give them the honors.
Alexander has been the only Cub
pitcher to check the White Sox. he
winning his second game of the series
for the National Leaguers yesterday,
8 to 3.
The National Leaguers kept pegging
away at Charley Robertson, who start
ed well, and, playing an uphill game.
finally drove him off the hill in the
seventh inning.
Leverette tried to stop the slugging.
but had to retire in favor of Cvengros.
The latter was not equal to the occa-
sion and the Cubs pounded him hard.
The trio of White Sox pitchers were
touched for a total of Is hits which
included one double and home runs by
r. Barrett and Heathcote.
Alexander worked steadily through
out, although little wilder than usual.
He walked four men and was touched
for nine hits. His mates, however,
played great ball behind him, two
double plays pulling him out of trou-
Bile in the early innings.
Sheely touched him for a homer,
his third of the series.
Alexander. in addition to his mound
work, had perfect day at bat with
four hits in as many times up, one of
the blows being a double.

MATTY'S ALL-STARS
INCLUDE NO GRIFFS

NEW YORK, October 6.-Christy
Mathewson, former pitching idol
of the New York Giants. has select ed
an all-American base ball team. His
all-star aggregation, together with a
second team, is described in this
weeks issue of Golfers Weekly. He
declares that the lineup he selects
is "the strongest possible combina-
tion of players" under conditions pre-
vailing in the 1924 season.
Mathewson selects DazZy Vance.
Brooklyn pitcher, who led all ma jor
league mound>men in number of vic
tories and strike-outs this season, as
first string boXmen, with Walter
Johnson. veteran Washington ace, on
the firing line for the second team.
Johnson and Frank F'risch of the
Giants, who is put at third base on
the first team. are the only playing
representatives of the pennant win
ners in either lineup. although John
J. McGraw is named to lead the
mythical first outfit. Ty Cobb is
chosen to play center field and man"
age the second team.
Big Sly" puts only three American
League Blayers on his first team,
Bassler of Detroit. Falk of Chicago,
and Ruth, but he reverses this dis
tribution of talent on the second team
which includes only three National
leaguers.

ORIOLES TOP SAINTS
TWO GAMES TO ONE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. October 6-The St
Paul Saints and the Baltimore Orioles
meet today in a playoff of Saturday s
game which, going 13 innings, re-
suited in a 6-6 tie.
The International League cham
pions took a lead in the series yes
terday, when Lefty Groves, south
paw ace, repeated his performance
of the first contest, the American
Association pennant winners coming
out at the low end of GA score.
The Birds now have two wins to
their credit and the Saints one.
Today will see another new face
in the locals lineup when Eddie
Onslow of the Toronto club covers
the initial sack in place of Sheedy
who sprained his ankle in Saturday S
game. Freitag, a catcher. had previ-
ously been borrowed from Jersey
City, due to a casualty.
After a conference between Presi-
dents Hickey and Toole of the Amer
ican Association and International
| League, respectively, it was decided
that the players of the two teams
will be permitted to share in the re-
ceipts of either the Saturday or Sun
| day game in St. Paul, instead of to-
days game here.
The players share in the receipts
of only five games and the extra
| contest here would have meant that
| they would not come in on any of the
| st. Paul receipts otherwise.
Merritt will likely be on the
mound for st. Paul today. Ogden il
expected to twirl for the Orioles.

to Marberry, who took Ia charge place
after the score was tied. He had to
retire only one batter. But Zachary
said after the game that he did not
care who got credit for the victory,
so long as Washington won, which
is fine spirit for a young pitcher
to show.
Harris Uses Good Judgment
Harris used good judgment in start
ing Zachary in the second game The
writer suggested in previous dis
patches that he likely would acuuit
himself well. although he might not
nave been considered a Washington
star of the first magnitude. The
young man had fine speed and good
control. In spite of the fact that the
rescue squad had to come to his aid,
he showed all the way through that
he is an exceptional left hand pitcher.
TO date each team has shown
about what ii was expected to show.
The infield, about which there has
been SO much Dragging, have lived up
to all that was heralded in regard
to them. All things taken into con-
sideration. it is doubtful if there has
been better infield work in any world
series htan has been shown in the
first two games. No wonder pitchers
can show well when they have play
ers on the infield who give them such
support
The Washington infield appears to
be better. if anything, than il was
during the regular season. There is
not play in which it does not
excel. Peckinpaugh is a better short
stop than when he played with the
Yankees, which shows that Wash
ington's climate has not taken away
his sprishtliness
Evening star., 1924-10-06

There is presumed to be no such
thing in base ball with it's multiplicity
OF chances, but 1t exists in some de-
gree in some games. and in a great
degree in exceptional games All
world series games are exceptional. of
course. They are played when ball
players are tagged out after working
through a championship season and
when they must go at the best they
have left to win. Sometimes the fans
are irritated because the best is not
as good as they expect.
Management Is Criticized.
There are many who criticize Nc
Graw's management of the second
game. They think that he should
have instructed Bentley to give
Peekinpaugh base on balls in the
ninth inning when Washington won
the game on Pecks single. with Judge
on second Perhaps McGraw did order
that very thing and Bentley failed to
deliver. Gowdy ran out into the dia-
mond to talk with Bentley. and it
looked very much as if he went out
to tell him to let Peck ride" as ball
players refer to a base on balls.
Washington again proved that it is
fighting ninth inning team. No base
ball club in the American League in
years has proved more often that it
never stops playing base ball. No
great surprise should be felt because
Walter Johnson lost his first game.
but it seems that Harris did exactly
the right thing when he came back
at New York with Zachary.
Bentley Was Surprised.
Many thought the New York pitch
er in the second game would be Nc
Quillan, but Nehf's showing in the
opener probably decided McGraw to
use another left-hander. Bentley told
some friends that he did not expect
to pitch in the series, and the pre-
sumption is that he was called Upon
Unexpectedly. He pitched a good ball
game, better than some thought he
/ could, but the Washington players
got after him early for runs, and kept
him on the defensive, and he does
not like to pitch when he is on the
defensive. But those who thought he
would collapse were fooled.
Zachary pitched fine ball. He is en-
| titled to world series victory in
spite of the fact that there is ruling
in base ball which gives a pitcher
credit for victory-if the game is won
which he finds tied when he comes in
There are instances now and then
when that is not fair to a pitcher
and one of these instances happened
when the credit of winning was given

are shifty persons.
