C hicago, Aug. 23—how woni.i
you have liked to purchase the
regulars of the Sox pitching
staff for what they were valued at
this time a year ago and then dis
posed of them at their present valua
tion? You hadn’t given it a thought?
Well, if you could have put through
such a deal It would have netted you
enough so that you could spend the
remainder of your afternoons watch
ing those same fellows perform. And
the fortune would not have been such
a modest one, either.
By the regulars of the Sox are
meant James Scott, “Reb” Russell.
Kddle Clcotte and Joe Benz. For just
now this same staff Is one of the
wonders of the American League.
Since those four fellows got going at
the same time the Sox have had great
pitching and the word has gone down
the line of clubs to be on the lookout
for some fancy twirling when Chi
cago is reached.
Scott and Russell have developed
Into two of the wonders of the league.
Clcotte has been pitching almost as
effectively. Joe Benz on Sunday
proved that he was about right. And
It’s likely that one year ago the four
could have been purchased for $10,000.
While now five times that amount
wouldn’t begin to separate them from
the White Sox pay roll.
The Rejuvenation of Scott.
There was Scott, for instance. He
was “all through” in the estimation
of the fans one year ago. He had a
wretched season. It isn’t considered
exactly the right thing to tell whether
waivers have been asked, but there
!s many a man who has a hunch
that the other clubs were given an
opportunity of asserting themselves
as to whether they wanted the fellow
from Death Valley, or whether they
were willing to allow him to go back
to the minors.
And to-day? Say, President Oomis-
key would give you the merry ha ha
If you told him .you would give $10,000
and then doubled your bid for "Death
Valley.” He’s like the other stars
of the game. He Isn’t io be pur
chased.
Why this increased valuation?
Merely a change in the mental at
titude of Scotty. He realized last
fall Just what a mistake he was
making. Before that baseball wasn't
a profession. It was Jus* a sport,
and one that made it possible for
film to enjoy himself and earn a liv
ing the same time.
This year? There isn’t anything
in this world quite as serious as a
f ame of ball. Here is an Illustration.
cott is young. Scott likes fun as
well as any full-blooded, healthy
J 'oung fellow you ever saw. Scott
Ikes to play practical jokes. But not
on the day that he's going to pitch.
On that day he is as serious as a
business man on the verge of put
ting through a big deal.
Get the idea?
Russell Saved by Gleason.
“Reb" Russell was secured at the
draft price and he was secured for
that because no one thought he was
worth a dollar more. Otherwise, he
wouldn’t have been subject to the.
draft. Now? If you owned a ball
club and dangled two ten-thousand-
dollar bills in front of President
Comiskey’s eyes and told him it was
the bait to land Russell he would re
fuse
And Russell is out there twirling
great ball because of the faith of
one man in him. That man is “Kid”
Gleason. You know they bad the
southpaw all ready for a trade. The
waivers had been asked and se
cured. They were just awaiting an
opportunity when they might hand
him to some high-class minor league
team, which would mean a higher
minor league price.
This Gleason person couldn’t quite
get it out of his head that the young
ster was there. They put him in
one game, and. thereafter, Russell
was no longer on the market. He
was a whale from the start.
Cicotte No Joke Now.
Didn’t you think Eddie Cicotte was
pretty much of a joke a year ago ?
Sure, you did. Well, this same “Kid”
Gleason has had much to do with his
euccess. . ...
Gleason got the impression that
Cicotte didn’t have work enough on
those davs when he wasn’t pitching.
The twirler took on weight rapidly.
Fo Gleason figured a way of keeping
Eddie in trim all the time. On the
davs when he doesn’t pitch Gleason
has him In the outfield. He mftkes
him chase files. Cicotte may want
to come in and sit on the bench, but
Gleason keeps him out there on the
fat-reducing Job.
Benz Shows Great Form.
Then comes Benz. • He pitched a
whale of a ball game against the
Yanks Sunday. He should have won
Which brings up another question.
Why is it that a pitcher always twirls
a remarkable game immediately after
waivers have been asked? That s
done so often that It seems a manager
would be justified in announcing tna*
waivers had been asked and then
send the subject in to Pitch They
always seem to come through. Re
member Ed Reulbach?
Just the same, we claim that if
some gent had bought those Son reg
ulars at what they were worth one
year ago and sold them at their pres
ent valuation that he would be ahead
of the game anywhere from $40,000
,to $50,000.
M’LOUGHUN WINS FROM
CLOTHIER AT NEWPORT
NEWPORT, R. I.. Aug. 23.—It
seemed practically a certainty to-day
when play opened for the sixth day of
the tennis tournament here that Mau
rice McLoughlin, the wonderful Cali
fornian. would retain his title of na
tional champion.
McLoughlin’s play against William
J. Clothier, former national champion,
whom he defeated in straight sets
yesterday, wos of the whirlwind order.
There was a snap and dash about it
that convinced every watcher that the
red-headed Westerner is the peer of
every tennis player in the country.
The courts to-day were somewhat
heavy, due to' the rain, but another
big crowd was on hand for the semi
finals that are to bo fought out.

THE SMBS
W HAT will the National Com
mission do this year to pre
vent a wholesale monopoly of
world’s series tickets on the part of
the money-mad speculators?
Now is the time for the commis
sion to stop, i^ok and listen. The
crafty dealers in pasteboards are al
ready on the alert and waiting to
gobble up tickets in lots, hoping to
line their pockets with ill-gotten gold
later on when the baseball-mad pop
ulace rushes to buy ducats for the
big games.
It is possible to thwart the plans
of these ticket speculators if the mat
ter is taken in hand at the proper
time, and now is the proper time.
There have been scandals along this
line for several seasons, and every
year the fans are promised protec
tion, but when the annual series roils
around it is usually found that the
speculators have grabbed the tickets
in big lots.
The fan who has been spending his
hard-earned money all season with
the baseball magnates is entitled to
protection when the crowning event
of the season arrives, and it is up
to the powers that be in the national
game to throw the proper safeguards
around their patrons, and that right
now.

Nap Hurlers Carry
Own Brand of Dirt
NEW YORK, Aug 23.—Every Nap
pitcher carries his own special brand
of dirt In his hip pocket when he
works at the Polo Grounds. There’s a
good reason for It, too.
The soil In and around the pitcher’s
box contains some property or other
which makes the cover of the ball
slippery the moment It becomes
slightly damp. This prevents a pitch
er getting a good grip on the sphere
The ball becomes hard to handle even
when the hand perspires slightly.
The left-handed pitchers look like
contortionists when they reach for the
dirt in their hip pockets. The pock
ets are on the right-hand side, which
makes it necessary to do some
stretching to get at the soil.

Speaker Fails on
High Toss in Air
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23 — If you were told

whip that is the terror of all ambi

feet, would you believe it?
Bet you clothes that he can not, but
be careful and stipulate that the throw
must be straight up into the air. Re
cently Speaker volunteered the remark
that he could stand in the middle of
Fourth street and throw a baseball on
the top of the Pierce building, a dis
tance of 223 feel.
A bet was closed with Joe Wood and
after several trials Speaker gave up
and paid.

"C0MMY” SAYS SOX NEED
GOOD RIVALS TO WIN FLAG
CHICAGO, Aug. 23. — President
Comiskey, of the White Sox, has
lodged rather a novel informal com
plaint with the head of the league
because there are too many weak
teams in the circuit.
“If there were more good teams,” he
explained, “the White Sox would win
the pennant sure.”
That statement was brought out by
the trip of the Sox which ended the
other day. In spite of losing six
straight games to second division
j teams In Boston and New York at
! the outset, the Sox braced and al-
! most evened up their defeats and vic
tories for the trip. They did this
by winning six out of eight games
from Washington and Philadelphia,
both of which are leading Chicago in
the race. That made their record for
the Eastern invasion seven wins out
of fifteen games played, and if
prompted Comiskey’s allegation that
if his Sox could play strong teams
all the time they would cop the bunt
ing.
SportsandSuch
FAMOUS IN SPORT—IX.
The Amateur.
T he amateur falls nat-
urally into two groups—the
amateur Amateur and the
professional Amateur. As this se
ries of essays deals only with the
famous! in sport we may briefly
dismiss the former.
The amateur Amateur can rarely
become famous. Entirely at his
own expense, for the pure love of
contest and not even in the lust
of victory, he toils earnestly, in
his play time, at tests of athletic
skill; which shows that he is a
boob, among other things. Also
he is a faker. Pitted* against a
weaker man whose heart is set on
winning after many disappoint
ments. he considers that true vic
tory lies in allowing his opponent
to win, so that he may be encour
aged to improve for the greater
honor of the ?»port.
So much for this freak. An
early vintage of Mr. Webster’s
verbose but much-read work de
fines an amateur as “a lover of
the fine arts.” This brings us
do.wn to the professional, or fa
mous amateur, who is notoriously
devoted to a number of fine arts.
The fine art of getting a good job
an the price of competing in the
colors of some athletic club he has
mastered fully; also the fine art
of hocking medals and cups for
the most they will bring. Few can
excel him in the art of playing
“summer baseball” under an as
sumed name and in the fine art of
making out an expense account
he can give the oldest traveling
salesmen four kings and an ace.
But the art he loves best Is that of
getting his expenses paid for little
jaunts to Europe.
The difference seems to be that
amateur Amateurs are born and
are unmarred in the making. Pro
fessional amateurs are never born
hut we are making them by the
hundreds every year.

“Buck" O'Brien Sent
To Minors by Sox
CHICAGO, ILL., Aug 28—Thomas
(Buck) O’Brien. White Sox twirler, was
yesterday sold to the Oakland club, of
the Pacific Coast League. He left last
night to report to his new manager.
O'Brien was purchased by the White
Sox a few weeks ago from the Boston
Red Sox. He started in but two games
for the Callahan club, and in neither of
them did he stick to the finish. He fin
ished a few games for other pitchers,
but at no time since Joining the club
has O’Brien shown the same grade oi
pitching that he delivered for Jake Siahi
in Boston last summer. O’Brien joined
the Red Sox In the fall of 1911, going to
them from the Denver club. Last sea
son he was one of the Red Sox main
stays in the box, but didn't show very
well in the world's championship games.
Many are of the opinion that O’Brien
will show his old form on the coast,
and that he will find his way back to
i the major leagues within another sea
son.
