BY DENMAN THOMPSON. HOSE Nationals have a good fighting chance to get a slice of the T world series melon, after all! In consequence of cleaning up with the White Sox yesterday by taking both ends of a double-header, 3-2 and 4-3, the Griffmen have crawled back into the first division, and are but one game in the rear of the third place St. Louis Browns. . Seldom has a Washington team been able to finish on equal terms in any year with an aggregation wearing Chicago uniforms, but as a re- sult of losing half a dozen stars through the late lamented world series scandal, the White Sox have proved soft for the men of McBride this season, their record of sixteen victories in twenty-two games played be- ing excelled in only one instance—the Yankees having won as many and lost only five of their tilts with the Tygers.

MacKenzie, Manager Cor. 6th and C Sts. N.W. HAS A STAR ON THE JOB Bancroft of Giants Is Rated Best, But Maranville of Pirates, Peck of Yankees and Sewell of Indians Satellites. BY BILLY EVANS. Bancroft, New York Nationals—A remarkable ball player. One of the greatest shortstops of all time. Has no weakness in the field, and is a shifty hitter, equally good against right or left handed pitching. Maranville, Pittsburgh Nationals—The player who rounded out the Pittsburgh team and made it a pennant contender. Through the medium of his playing ability and fighting spirit has added the necessary punch to the Pirates. Is scnsational, a right-handed batter and a good one. Peckinpaugh, New York Americans—Shares with Scott of Boston the honor of being the premier shortstop of the American League. Is a bril- ant player, yet he does his work with such ease and grace that he often is not appreciated. Is a right-handed batter and always dangerous. Sewell, Cleveland Americ: ne of the most promising youngsters that has broken into the American League in years. Lacks the experi- ence and polish of the other three, but is destined to become as famous as any of them. Has plenty of nerve. Is a left-handed batter and a mighty good one. HORTSTOP will be well taken care of in the big series. Regardless of what teams win in the four-cornered fight now belng waged, class is certain to hold forth making laughs out of the ordinary in- cidents. has kept the Pittsburgh team from feeling *he strain that it has been under all year. Peck Among Greats. In Roger Peckinpaugh the New York Americans have one of the truly great shortstops of the game. With most critics he shares the premire honors with Scott of Boston as the best in the American learue. Walter Gerber of the St. Louis feam is clos> up. American League play- ers look on Peckinpaugh as @ ball hawk and to most of them he is known as the roving shortstop. A remarkable pair of hands and a base ball intuition that seems to tell him the right place to play, makes it possible for him to constantly pull the seemingly impossible. Likewise he works with such ease and grace that he makes difficult plays look easy. Joe Sewell of Cleveland, in his sec- ond year as a major league player, is destined to be the star at that posi- tion {n the American League. Sewell despite his inexperience and lack of polish is a star today. In three years he will have no superior at the posi- tion. He has ability, nerve and confi- dence, three great assets. There have been few great teams York and Pittsburgh in the National, and Cleveland and New York in the American are no exceptions to this rule. The four shortstops Who have a chance to break into the big series are unquestionably the cream of the two leagues. ‘Wonder, Says Jemnings. Recently I bumped into Hughey Jennings, now assisting John Mc- Graw at New York. In" his day re was no one who had anything Hughey at playing short. There- no one could be better fitted to express an opinion of the relative ticular pesition in the major leagues. I had watched the New York team beat Pittsburgh that afternoon. I had been privileged to witness two great exhibitions of how shortstop The work of Bancroft The work of Ban- croft had been very sensational. Sev- eral remarkable plays by Him had| Bancroft, Peckinpaugh and Maran- ville. FEach player stands out pre- eminent in certain features of play. 1 venture to say if a vote was taken among the base ball authorities, it would be pretty evenly divided. (Copyright, 1921, by W. G. Evans.) “That fellow Bancroft is a won- 1 remarked to Hughey. His “There have been few if any bet- ter in the history of the game. He can do everything well. He has the old pepper. He has plenty of nerve. hair-trigger brain. He is Bancroft on Top. 1t New York is fortunate enough to markable infielder in Bancroft. Rather small of stature and apparently none too strong, Bancroft is all over the fleld. No ball is hit too hard for him to go after. He seems to sense where the bat- | ter is going to hit the ball. Rarely does he play two batters alike. At the bat he is always to be feareds because he is constantly mixing them up. While one hears but little of his batting prowess, becausc of his great ability as a fielder, he always manages to hit around .300. If New York wins it will have a slight edge at that position. The success of the Pittsburgh team this year can be measured by Maran- ville.” Had the Pirates started the sea- son with just the ordinary player at short, I seriously doubt if the team’at any time would have been a pemnant contender. Maranville was just the man needed to round out the Pirates. His aggressive spirit added the fight that the other players readily grasped. His ability to fleld plus his years of experi. ence, was just the tonic needed to steady the other youngsters on the Pirate in- field.

Possibly the world series mey not begin until October 5 or 6. The close race in the American League is responsible for it. The almost as close race in the National League also has something to do with it. The two New York teams are both in the fight now, and if both of them should win and come together in the big event it would be almost an im- possible task to satisfactorily take care of the tickets in the big city 50 that the series could start with any comfort to patrons before October 5 or 6 at the best. No announcement has been given out about the world series, although one may be made public today from Chicago, where there is to be a meeting of the advistory commission and club owners with Commissioner Landis. Of course, with no directions given to the fans, it has been simply im- possible to accept any orders for tickets and the biggest staff in the business couldn’t get the Brush Sta- dium set up for a world series game inside of a week. The only alternative would be to sell the entire seating capacity at public sale_and, while one part of the New York public would care precious little about ft, that other part, which likes to go in some comfort, would yell aloud and frequently. The visiting base ball bugs and mag- nates, who make the world series an opportunity to go somewhere, would simply be swamped if a public sale were on. It would take two regiments of police to line the fans up and they never would desert the Polo Grounds day or night. ] Memphis Beats Fort Worth.
