AMERICAN LEAGUE Yesterday's Results The | (By Billy Evans) When speaking of the worth while pitchers of 1923 one cannot very well overlook Jimmy Ring of the Philadel- phia Nationals, Pitching on a seventh place ball club that has never been close to the .500 mark in the matter of victories, Ring has always been well above that figure. I believe it is conservative to say that if Ring was with either Pitts- burgh or Cincinnati, and delivered the pitching that he has turned in for the Phillles, he would be leading the Na- tional League twirlers in games won. | TOOLMAKERS MAKE JIMMY RING I venture to say that Ring has lost at least a hall dozen games, probably more, 'this season that his pitching de- served to win. Since the 1919 world series in which Ring twirled such fine ball for the Cincinnati Reds I have always had the greatest of admiration for the big pltcher, He showed me a great curve and a corking fast ball in that series. | delphia. the Giants. spells pennant. present gait would Cincinnati over.

Little Change in Prices. The scale of prices at both local parks will be similar to that of last year at the Polo Grounds, where the entire series was contested. 'These prices are §6 for box seats, $5 {for reserved seats, 33 for general unfe- | served admission and $1 for bleach- ers. The scale that would prevail at Redland Iield, in event Cincinnati wins, wili be determined later. The games will start at 2 p. m, the same as last year, it was further cecided. Commissioner Landis was understood to have favored starting them at 1:30 p. m,, to avoid as far as possible the necessity of calling cxtra inning games, such as the famous tie of last fall, but it was be- lieved this time would be unsatisfac- tory, from the point of view of the New York, Sept. 26.—The 19238 World Series will open on Wednes- day, Oct. 10, at the Yankee $tadium, home of the three-time American Jeague champions and greatest base- ball park in the country, regardless of whether the New York Giants or the Cincinnati Reds win the fight to represent the National league in the annual classic.
