On the dope up to today the best catchers of the two New York teams are Schang for the Yankees and Snyder for the Giants. Because hoth of them caught in the world series of 1921, opportunity is available today for direct comparison. Snyder worked in seven world series games last season and Schang in eight. Neither of them made an error, and Schang more than doubled the assists of his rival. He had c.le\'m to between him and Killefer. but Schang, like his team, lasted better than the opposition.

Earl Stocking bowled high game at 137 and high set at 378. The District League, which was to start last night, has postponed its opening until Monday. Now that the Royals and Districts have combined under the name of the former, the league is casting about for another quint to complete its roster of ten. If none is found this week, one of the at present in the fold will be eight-team affair. CHERRYDALE NEAR TITLE.

A round robin series for a champlionship Is a butterfly of another hue. Anything can happen in the first game of a serles between two clubs, and the winper of the first game always has an edge thet is bigger than just that one gam- it is the added morale of starting with a victory. Where money is the medium of conversation, and men deal in it solely, it is almost out of the ques- tion 'to get an even wager that the Yanks will defeat their rivals. The bettors have said that the backers of the Yanks must give more than even. A. L. Considered the Stronger. Visit around them and it will be found that they consider the Ameri- can League teams to be better field ers and to have better pitchers. Most of them think the Giants hav. no pitchers worth while, except Nehf, who pitched the deciding world series game last veur, and they are not very enthusiastic about him. .If any one suggests that the Glants have better batters than their rivals they offset the declaration with the state- ment that the American League pitch- ers are better than those of the Na- tional ILeague. That seems to be right. Anyhow, the Yankees, whether they wish it so or not, are to be forced into the position of favorites before the series begins. 1f the odds change, It will be Interesting to ascertain the reason. Whenever a team which has played in a world series in the past was com- pelled to fight its way for the cham- pionship in its own league down to the final three or four games, it was said that it might affect that team's ability In the world serles because of the strain on the men's nerves. That it tommyrot. The great strain which Is felt in a world series is that which causes a depression in the region of the stomach when the other side scores about three runs on clean, solid, satis: TO ACHIEVE B ESIDES the probability that the St. Louis Cardinals, has a i years to finish the season with an a Hornsby’s unofficial mark today {was .401 and at the clip he has becn hitting of late the Cardinal star should have little difficulty in mnlr}- | taining or improving this mark in {the few remaining games on the ischedule. His log today showed 138 runs and 242 hits for 149 games. Ed Delehanty of the ola Philadel- phia club was the last National Leaguer to wind up he season with an average of .400 or over. His flg- ure was .408 In 1899. Prior to that {the select circle of .400 hitters in- cluded Willie Keeler, Adrian C. (Pop) 1son, Jesse Burkett, Hugh Duffy ia d Ross Barnes.

There can be no excuse for either team because of sensational finish this vear. Both of them will have plenty of time between the date of the pen- nant being won and the beginning of the first world series game on Octo- ber 4. In fact, the pennants are won. There is no great necessity now that either New ~York team sandpape: | their hips sliding to bases. Far less enthusiasm exists today over the winning of the 1922 cham- pionships than existed in New York in 1921 There has not been a spon- taneous, old-fashioned base ball cheer since it became_apparent that the Giants and the Yankees would pull through in front. Probably a very good reason for that condition in the fact that the avearge base ball fan who lives In the city or adjacent to it has had his mind made up for |act, from the time that the two 3 York teams strengthened their pla ing forces in midsummer, that New { York hud both leagues buffaloed. The | actual winning of the championships is simply accepted as u matter: fact finish to the race. When Ne York is in that frame of mind it is never emotlonal. Tt's the unexpected or the grand rush in athletics that stirs metropolitan blood, which is al- ways overheated. — JAKE STAHL BURIED. CHICAGO, September 26.—Garland J.

TOEVEN WITH ORIOLES: ANNOUNCES Price Reductions Effective Immediately tests maintain that Carpentier was clearly tripped by his opponent. Victor Breyer, one of the judges, is one of those taking this view, but he ex- pressed the belief that such a foul by Siki could not have affected the outcome, as Carpentier already was a beaten man. Some of the newspaper experts say it is possible the federation may yet award the bout to Carpentier. In any case, Descampes is set upon having another meeting between his protege and Siki as soon as possible.
