In the matter of betting; the locals talked loudly of 6 to 5 on the Comis- key team and New York adherents talked the same odds as to their men, but what actual betting could be lo. cated was gt even money on the re- sult.

Chicago, Oct. 4—The New York Na- tionals, champions of their leagub, limbered their muscles today in pre- paration for their coming battles with the Chicago Americans for the world’s championship. They were opposed by the Chicago Nationals, who won the game, 9 to 5. The league leaders, how- ever, 'did not exert themselves after a few innings and Chicago easily. took the lead. Manager McGraw sent his regular lineup, with the ezception of his bat- tery men, into the game at the start. Burns, Herzog, Kauff, Zimmérman, Fletcher and Holke were given a rest after ‘they had played a few innings. Herzog played at his regular gait. He showed much speed in running on one occasion when he slid under O'Farrell after a sacrifice fly to short center.

Last Saturday the Windham-team defeated New London Vocational '37-0. The N. F. A. squad has been practicing tack- ling and putting out the dummy for the past week. Thursday afternoon in the bardest scrimmage of the week the first team went through the sec- ond team’s line for five touchdowns. - The squad regrets greatly the de- parture of Coach McKay, Thursday afternoon, for Camp Devens, but with the coaching of Dr. Bunnell and help of Harold Hull it is hoped to turn out a championship eleven. Captain Eastwood and Bennett are showing fine form in line plunges and end runs, while Parker is taking care of the throwing of forward passes and kicking.

John McGraw comes out in an ar. ticle in the World's Series Baseball Magazine, maintaining that he has spent less money on the Giants than Comiskey has on the White Sox. Mc- Gray, however, states that “of course, everybody is grateful to Chas. Com- iskey for spending a fortune in try- ing to build up his club. “When _they talk of my buying pen- nants why don’'t they look up the dope. The team with which I won my last pennant didn’t have a man on the roster whom I hadn’t developed. Not a man. I made them all what they were and they were good enough to win the National flag three times running. “And take the present team, if you want to. They are partially the re- sult of unusual conditions. Some of the players were obtained from the Federal League. Where I see a chance to buy a good player I do so.

And you must bear in mind that New York, while the most liberal city in the world, won’t stand for any second rate goods. They have got to have quality and they are ready to pay lib- erally for it. Some other manager can experiment with a lot of has-beens and never-wases and try to tinker up a new club. But I couldn’t do it in New York and get away with it. And, to be fair, how about the men on my present club that I did develop. There is George Burms, ene of the greatest cutfielders in the business, and Rob- ertson, who has natural gifts second to none. There is young Holke and there is Fletcher, Herzog, whom they rave so much about, belonged to me by right. I developed him in the first place and let him go to Cincin- nati simply so that he could batter For Zimmerman 1 traded Deyle. Not a nickel in money chang- ed hands. I didn’t get Stung on -the trade. I traded Merkle,/another man I had developed, for McCarty. There wasn’t a dollar involved. 1 leave it to the public if I got stuck on that deal. Schupp, the sensation among pitchers last season, was a boy I de- veloped right here on the bench. nd’ (Tegreau X developed also. That's a pretty good club in itself. “And furthermore, I want to g0 on record as saying that no newspaper or group of newspapers made me. I made myself. I am indebted to no- body for whatever success I have won: Last season some of the boys thought 1 was slipping. They didn’t hesitate to say so. Well, I slipped back to the point where the club won twenty- six straight games, something that had never happened before, and I am frank to confess, will prcbably hever happen again. And I slipped back to the point where we have wpon a pennant this season by a good wide margin and stand ready to give tho National League about the only run for a woi'd’s championship it has had in many » day.” PITCHING $TAFFS OF . 8OX AND GIANTS EVEN Giants’ Strongest Twirlers Will Be Portsiders, While Cicotte and Faber Will Be Mainstays of Chicago. New York, Oct. ''—No single fac- tor has a greater bearing upon the outcome of a World's Series than the pitching staff of the two) teams in- volved. This is an accepted axiom of professional bzgeball which is par- ticularly true of the two clubs which are scheduled to begin their battle for the premier honors of the diamond at Chicago on Saturday. ‘While neither the New York Na- tionals nor the Chicago Americans quite equal the machine-life perfection in balance and play which has dis- tinguished several preceding combin- ations in the series, they are, never- theless, strong aggregations which ap- pear to be evenly matched. Under these circumstances any cdge or ad- vantage which may flevelop is likely to appear jn the work of the hurling forceg So far as numerical strength is con- cerned there is little if any choice, as both the White Sox and the Giants have seven twirlers who have work- ed in the box with reasonable fre- himself. quency during the season. The rec- ords show that Manager Rowland sent Danforth into 46 games; Cicotte mto 44; Faber 35: Russell 33; Willlams 39; Benz 17 and Scott 24. Wolfgang, although rated ag a pi:cher, has done but little work on the mound against cpposing teams having been used to pitch to his teammates during prac- tice. For the New York Nationals Dem- aree has figured in 34 sames, including his Chicago National 1917 record; An- derson 33; Schupp 32; Perritt 31; Sal- lee 29; Benton and Tesreau 28 each. It will be seen from the foregoing fig- ures that the Giants have shifted their hurlers_more frequently than the ‘White Sox but the resuits do not ap- pear to indicate that this had any any outstanding effect upon their win- ‘We Have Carried Our Burden For Two Years without asking for help; it has now become so great . that we must ask the public to share a part of it.

In the matter ‘of right and left hand twirlers the situation is again a stalemate for each club car- ries and uses four right hand delivery boxmen and three portside or south- paw pitchers. How these right and left handers will fare against opposing bat wield ers is problematical. Eddle Collins, Weaver and Jackson have all shown labmty to hit portside pitching which they and other members of the White Sox team are likely to faj in a ma- Jority of the games if McGraw's plans do not miscarry. Felsch is another Chicago player who has shown that left handers have no terror for him. The team batting average against portside hurling is close to .260, which appears to give them an advantage over the Giants in this respect. The New York players, however, be- lieve that they will face Cicotte and Taber, both right haanders, more fre- quently thaan the White Sox south- paws. For this reason they "are par- ticularly interested in the delivery of thees wto pitchers, especially the so- called “shine ball” of Cicotte. There is a wide difference of opinion among even the American League batters re- garing the methods or means by which Cicotte gets the wierd curves and breaks which has made his delivery so effective this season. It is certain that the Giants will scrutinize both the ball and bregks with extraordinary care in the coming contests. Faber's “moist ball” delivery is also certain to bother the New York batters, es- pecially if the pitcher can maintain control. Russell .and Danforth are the formidable Teft handers likely to be used against the McGrawites. The Giants' strongest,box quartet will probably be composed of Schupp and Benton, all left handers, with Per- ritt the leading right hander. Ander- son, Tesreau and Demaree will form the second string and any one of, this trio may prove unexpectedly effective under certain weather and sky condi- tions. It will be seen, however, that the Glants' leading boxmen are south- paws and if the records are correct the White Sox will not be o handi- capped before this form of delivery as would appear to be the general im- pression. So far as other departments of pla. in which the pitchers are concerned, there does not appear to be any great advantage one way or the other. In batting and flelding there is little ma gin on either side. 1e Giants' twirl- ers have a few more double plays to their credit and the White Sox hurl- ers have the edge on stolen bases. What Makes a Great Catcher. By Ray Schalk, Ray Schalk is conceded by those who know, to be the backbone of the White Sox defense. In the World's Series issue of the Baseball Magazine the brilliant catcher outiines the things which he believes are of prime importance in his pesition: I have read with great interest sev- eral attacks on the present system of scoring baseball records. To my mind the criticisms, most of them at least, are sound, though it isn't easy to suggest improvements. Off hand I would say that fielding averages are pretty bad, pitchers’ averages rather punk, batting averages merely fair. But the worst of all are catchers’ av- erages. How are you going to tell a good catcher? By his batting ave- rage? By his fielding average? By the runs he scores? Of course all these things are important. But they have- n't any direct connection with good, tad or indifferent catching as such. A catcher may or may not be a Zood batter or base runmer. And whatever his hitting or run getting ability. he may be a great or a mediocre catcher. I think it is easy to tell a good ocut- flelder. Tt is rather easy to choose a great shortstop from the records. But a man might be the best catcher the e, Washington Street, Skation OSPITAL GATE AND YAN.- | for WHOLLY WITHIN THE each route; CITY TRANS- fraction, full ticket will COMPANY baseball brains. It isn’t enough to say brains, you must add the adjective “baseball” to describe what you mean. I admit this is the day of the college player in baseball. I admit that the better education a man has, other things being equal, the better ball player he will be. But he might know a lot of philosophy or Greek litera- ture and be a frost on foul flies. Ty Cobb has the ideal baseball brains. But Ty isn’t a college man. On the other hand I used to play in the min- ors with a_graduate of a well known university who was a brilliant gcholar and a good natural athlete. But he was _positively the limit in playing baseball. He would do_the most in- comprehensible thingh. In fact he was impossible. Hans Wagner and Nap Lajole are not college men, have not enjoyed as libera] an education, perhaps, as most of the rest of us. But if any medical laboratory wants a sample of a real baseball brain let him open negotia- tions with the Dutchman _or the Frenchman for the use of his skull when he is through with it. 1 believe there are fellows with a natural born instinct to play base- ball. They invariably do the right thing at the right time. That is what T mean by baseball brains. Further- more, such a brain must, above all, act quickly. There are many thous, ands of people, even In the stands, who understgnd gokd baseball and could dope out the proper thing for a flelder or a batter to do under given conditions. But Yhat isn't, enough. The man,with a baseball brain must not only 'do’ the right thing but he must do it instantly. It is quickness of thought quite as much as correct- ness which marks the star player. Hal Chase and Ty Ccbb are scintillating examples of quick thought on the dia. mond. Now the, catcher, above all men, must have a good baseball brain. Most of his work, the most important part of his work, is hidden from the the spectators’ eye. The man in stands can seldom follow what is go- ing on in the ca‘cher's brain. But the catcher, much more -than the pitcher, holds the game in the hollcw of his hand. The catcher, much more than the pitcher, is the keystone of the baseball arch, Crawled Under Freight Car—Leg Mangled. Watervill Conn., Oct. 4.—Sidney Davis, Jr., four vears old, crawled un- der a freight car in the rear of the American Pin compa shop here today and when the car was moved the little fellow's left leg was so bad- ly mangled that jt was later ampu- tated at St. Mary's hospital in Wa- terbury. The surgeons there ho!d out hope’ for the recove Body Training for the Whole Nation. On March 13th more than six months azo, I presented to the President at Washington a plan for placing the en- tire nation in training. A complete program for national physical preparedness would put ev- ery man into training who could not furnish a_physician’s certificate stat- ing that he was unable to train be- cause of some physical defect. Why set an age limit? Some nmx are botfer at seventy than others a:- at thirty or forty. lLet every man go into training who Wanot offer a good excuse for avoiding the duty. We have no means of deiermining wheth- er or not every available man in this country will not be need2d in the ter- rific struggle that we are now facing. Are we doing everything that Is necessary to make us ready? More than six months have elapsed since diplomatic relations with Germany were severed. Billions have been pro- vided for the Army and Navy, and other military equipment. But not one cent has been provided training the boys and tke mem world ever saw or the worst, and there would be no way under heaven to gain that information from the sea- | =on’s statistics. First of all, a catcher must have who do not come within the drafh age, and who may, for all we know be tragically needed to defend ous country.—Bernard Maofadden in Phy- sical Culture.
