By GUY BUTLER.
Funny how the so-called baseball
experts are riding the two clubs that
just finished the world series. Some
of them—the ma- MWE*¥wamemss '
}
-ority—say t h e}
best club lost, put
it's dollars to
doughnuts they §' 2
all said this be- j i
cause they had :
either wagered on i ; v
the Sox or had fi 7
“doped” th em R s
out as the win- B 5La
ners of the series L g
and didn't like to
see their selection
trampled upon. 1
Such things as
“dope”™ are pure
rot. How can a
man have little
ENOULh reason Wil o übessnd
about him to at- Guy Batler,
tempt to pick the winners of each
game, the exact scores, number of
hits, errors, etc.—nll of this in public
_print—weeks before the series gets
vnder way? Some of them do it, and
never in the history of the world se
ries has one of them been known to
pick even the score of éne game, and
very, very few winners of the single
games.
OUTPLAYED ALL AROUND,
It is hardly likely that the best
ciub lost. Eight games were played,
and that is just ahout enough to de
cide the better club between any two.
Clincinnati outplayed, outgamed, out- |
fought, outpitched, outhit and out
ficlded the Sox. What more could!
you want? In addition, the R('d’i
qul;eneralod the Sox, both in the
Box and at the other positions. “Kid"
(ileason was outgeneraled by Pat
_Moran, and probably Chief Bender,
We may never get the details of
Bender's work in this series, but it's
a safe bet that the venerable chief
played a prominent part from the
coaching lines and the bench,
Anyway, the best club won, In my
¢pinion. Of course, there are many
who think the Sox the stronger téeam.
_ Perhaps they are in eight positions,
hut what about the pitching staff?
Isn't a pitching staff just as much
a part of a team as the first base
man, or catcher, or shortstop? As a
matter of fact, pitching is something
like 60 per cent of the game. Any
team can win with air-tight pitch
ing nine times out of ten ,but nn‘
team can win many games with loose
hurling.
It is admitted that Ray Schalk is a
better catcher than either Rariden
or Wingo: Gandil may have some
thing on D’Aubert, Risberg may even
be better than Kopf, and Weaver may
be the equal of Groh: Felsch, Jackson
and Leibold and J. Collins may look
~ better than Duncan, Roush and]
" Neale. But Eller, Ring, Reuther,
~ Sallee and Lauque certainly smeared
#it all over Cicotte, Williams and
Kerr.
TOO MANY VETERANS.
The main thing about the Sox per
haps is the oversupply of veterans.
. The New York Giants showed this
year that aimost a complete set of
veterans can't get very far. The
Sox had Gandil, Cleotte, Weaver,
~ Jackson, Leibold and J. Collins, all
' of them veterans of many years on
the diamond. And even Eddie Col-
Alins must be slowing up. They have
" Jost some of the zip that charac
terized their early play, which is but
" natural, while, on the other hand,
- Pat had quite a flock of youngsters
Kopf, Duncan, Rough and Neale are
young men. Groh is not very old
while the pitching staff, with the ex
ception of Sallee and Fisher, is a
young crew, .
Young blood, fighting hearts and
j gqod pitching won the seriés for the
Reds. .

Not in all the history of big foot

the matter of Irish. Yale will back
up half of that statement and
Princeton will bear witness to the
other half. If “Mike™ (that's
Henry) is a\devil dog, “Tim"” is a

and Princeton now is what, if any
thing, will be left of these two
blond giants on*November 15 next,
when darkness falls from the wing
of night and the ambulances wend
their way through the Yale Bowl
to pick up the picces?
The Callhhan boys have been
scrapping ever since one was three

liked, the other one didn't. They
pulled each other's hair over their
toys; they quarrelled over their
favorite teacher; they fought over
the girls of their salad days; they

i JUDGE ANNOUNCES SCORE,
EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oet. IL—For the
\lwxnl t of fang who were vompelled to at
| tend court recefitly, Judge Philip O Gould
who was presiding at -a trial in Circuit
.t'u\lll here, y announced the world series
seore from the beneh
When Tim elected Phillips-An
dover as his prep school, Mike re
taliated by signing on at Phillips-
Exeter. Jach hoped to get at.the
other, as both became star football
men., But seasons came and went
and the meeting was never staged.
Tim'es two years of seniority was
just sufficient to keep him out of
Mike's way and so. things might
have gone along to the end had not
Mr. Hohenzollern taken a hand in
the world’s affairs and at the same
time upset the college courses of
the brothers Callahan.
Tim is captain of Yale this year.
His last college game was in 1918
when he was pivot man for the
Blue. In 1917 he played center for
the Newport Naval Reserve team,
and was picked as all-American
center. Last vear he was in service.
Mike will be a Princeton junior
this vear. He is already being
talked about as a promising candi
date for the captaincy of the Orange
and Black in 19€0. ;
In the matter of being Ilucky,
Tim has the edge on his brother.
The Yale captain #s 5 feet 10 1-2
inches in height and weighs around
215 pounds in his birthday clothes.
Mike js an even 4 feet 10 and tips
the scales at a neat 180.
If November 15 doesn't go down
in football history as Callahan day
it will not be the, fault of the Cal
lahan boys. Tim’'s a gentle man
nered, mild expressioned, amiable
sort of chap. Tim says poor Mike
will certainly be up against it,
while Mike speaking in those me
lodious and haunting accents that
have made him a favorite in Prince
ton hammocks on spring evenings,
opines that they'll have to come
after Tim with a vaduum cleaner.

--COMISKEY
CHICAGO, Oect. 11.—Charley Co
miskey, owner of the Chicago White
Sox, was all “het up” last night over
the rumors in circulation that his
players threw a game or two to the
Cincinnati Reas in' the world series
just ended.
“1 will give to any man $20,000 who
will unearth any real information to
the effect that the White Sox threw a
game to the Reds,” he announced. “I
am positive my boys fought hard
every inch of the way, and that they
were anxious to win the series, If it
is foufid that they did not play on the
level, I would be the first to want to
know of it, and 1 have that $20,000 to
offer for any information of that
Kind.
“There is always some scandal fol
lowing a big sporting event. Just be
causge my club was a big favorite to
win, and then lost, there are some
who believe they did not try to play
their best. That is not so, However,
1 do believe the White Sox to be
stronger than the Reds, but 1 saw
i“w games, and 1 must admit my club
did not play as good ball as the Reds
and deserved to lose,
. “The so called experts should be
positive they are right, when they
announce in the public prints that the
world series was not decided on its
merits,” the Old Roman concluded.
Charley Comiskey has been con
‘nm‘(m! with the American League
since it started, and is recognized as
one of the greatest baseball men in

Fifth Divisi
Clash :
AUBURN, Ala.* Oct. 11.—Drake
Field is going to be the scene of
a good combat this afternoon when
the Tigers attempt to take a few
victorious bites out of the record
of the Fifth Division_ soldiers.
These said soldiers come well
recomnmended by their past actions:
and should furnish food of the
very toughest variety for the
Plainsmen.
Sinee the game was moved here
from Columbus plans are being
made for a large crowd of rooters
who were planning to go there.
They are certainly going to see
some good foeotball, as the Plains
men are beginning to realize that
it is time they were showing the
stuff they hayve on hand or take
the consequences.
This week should fit them for
most any kind of game. Up to the
very last minute Coach Donahue
put them through their very best
paces. Every night after scrim
mage they were given a stiff signal
drill. 1f things should not result
so well Saturday it is certainly go
ing to be no fault of his.
The line has been given some
very pointed instruction in the art
of charging and working together.
The varsity linesmen were split
into two groups. They had to
struggle with each otheir for the
larger part of an hour.
The backs have not been neg
lected by a long shot, and they
came in for their share of the in
struction in smashing up the de
fense and in the manly art of
breaking up forward passes.

BACK IN 16, CICOTTE TRIED TO
~ TEACH ELLER THE SHINE BALL
By HARVEY WOODRUFF.
(Item-New York Times-Chicago Tribune Service.)
HICAGO, Oct. 11.—“ Didn't we have him once? asked a fan in the
C upper grandstand of his neighbor just after Hod Eller had
fanned Williams, Leibold and Eddie Collins in the third inning,
fter performing a similar favor for Gandil, Risberg and Schalk in the
second of a recent world series game. The conversation was plainly
audible in the press box. .. .... ..
“Didn't we have who? And who the—— is we?” growled the dis
gusted fan interrogated. ’
“Why, Eller, of course. Didn't the Sox have him once?
Yes, they had him back in 1916, and Eddie Cicotte tried to teach
him to throw the shine ball, but Eller was a big boob and couldn't learn
anything. At least that's my dope.. Anyway, they let him go.
The fans dope was correct in part, at least. Eller did make the
spring training trip with the Sox in 1916, having been secured from Mo
line, where he had played two seasons. The Sox were pretty well sup
plied with slabmen and Eller barely survived the training trip, being
returned to Moline in April. That fall he was drafted by the Reds, and
in 1917 won ten and lost five games for Cincinnati.
Whether or not Cicotte imparted any of the mysteries of the shiner
to Eller may be doubted, but certainly Eller was tbout the freshest
minor that*ever came up for trial. If he had been a freshman at college
he was the type who would be hazed. Hé was not offensive, except as
freshness is always offensive to a seasoned player. Instead, he was the
butt of all the jokes it was possible to pull, including acting as referee’
at a badger fight.

BIG TEAMS
CLASH ON
GRID FIELD
By JACK VEIOCK,
International News Sporting Editor
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Football is
back again, stronger and more pop
ular than ever before.
It came back with a post-war rush
that was altogether characteristic
and by the time the curtain is rung
down with the playing of Turkey
Day games the grand old collegiate
sport will have enjoyed one of the
best seasons it has ever seen, unless
all signs fail.
The war failed to hurt football, It
is true that many a player who
answered the call to the colors was
“downed” for all time before the big
gest contlict in history was settled
in favor of the allies, But there are
more football players today than
ever before.
The army and navy spread the
gospel of football in training camps
for two years. Thousands of husky
young Americans who had never
played the game got into uniforms
ond worked with company or regi
mental elevens. In the big army
camps, for instance, it was nothing
to see 100 football teams running
through signal practice of an after
noon. 5 |
College stars from the biggest
schools in the country played with
the new men, taught them the fine
points of the game and coached the
teams. The result is hundreds of
really good football players who
might cotherwise never have donned
the moleskins were developed, and
scores of these players are to be
found among the many who are
playing collegiate football this fall.
TEAMS PLAY TODAY.
The world series a thing of his
tory, football now holds the spot
light. Saturday will see practically
every big eleven of importance In
action"against,smaller teams and in
the Middle V!'eat particularly old
time rivalries betaveen elevens of the
“Big Ten” will be renewed with all
of @ei‘former glamor. Many of the
big elevens have already played sev
eral games of . minor importance
Here in _the East.the “Big Three”
will not be ready to battle for su
premacy among themselves until No
vember arrives, but many important
games are to be played, starting Sat
urgay. &
Harvard, Yale and Prmceton will
all be. seen in. action. The Crimson
eleven will lock horns with Colby at
Cambrigge, while Yale takes on
North Carolina University at New
Haven, and Princeton tackles Lafay
ette at Pringeton.: The champion
Pittshurg eleven has a hard game
scheduled against West Virginia, a
toar‘hthat' has been coming fase dur
ing e last two or three years.
The Army will have a game on its
hands, too. The Cadets take on Syra.
cuse in the first important game of
their season, and while they are bat
tling the lads from the Salt Lake
City the Navy will be busy with
Johns Hopkins at Annapolis. Colgate
will meet Brown, Cornell will play
Williams and Columbia will take on
Vermont at Columbia. Penn will play
Delaware. .
WESTERN GAMES.
In the West several big g.ames are
gomng to attract attention. Three
games in particular stand out on the
schedule. They are the Minnesota-
Nebraska contest at ~Minneapolis,
where Doc Williams’ charges will
tackle the Cornhuskers in a contest
that promises to be full of thrills.
The fast Notre Dame eleven will face
the Great Lakes Trainmg Station
Station team and at the same time
[llinois will have Perdue battling to
cross her goal hine.

TAD’S TID BITS—By Tad
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—'T've seen
a lot of great fighters,” said ILeo
Flynn, pushing back his iron kelly,
“but take it from me, big or little,
white or black, the grandest of the
“ot was little George Dixon. He
was my idea of a wonderful fight
ing machine. I know that a lot of
the fight fans today never saw
Dixon. He’s been dead ten years,
vou know, but his fights will live
for ten more, and then some.
“I liked . Gans as a fighter, too.
He had almest everything but
speed. Dixon had everything that
Gans had, with speed added. You
must remember, too, that Dixon at
98 pounds was fighting big, strong
boys. He put on a bit of weight
later, and then kept on giving away
weight He was fighting big, husky
lightwaeights along with the feathers
all the time, and was first under
the wire nearly every trip.
“There isn’t a fighter today who
can rip with that old left the way
Dixon could.. He could rip a left
to the body and upon the chin and
then shoot a right over before a
fellow could say ‘scat’ He was a
hitter, a boxer, a ring general, and
was cobler than a lemon and soda.
“Kilbane? Yes, a great boy, but
Dixon would have taken him.
Dixon was a better feinter and bet
ter hitter. Kilban7, I admit, can
sock, but he can’'t/use the left as
Dixon did. There never was another
left like Dixon’s. It was murderous.
That old rip to the stomach was
~poison to any one. ;
“Yes, siree, put me down as a
Dixon man above all others. ;I‘here
were great fighters, but I'can’t
think of one who was a master of
every department of the game like
‘Little Chocolate.””

AN OLD-TIMER CHIRPS.
Dear Tad: 3 {
I read your article the other day
in which Eddie Graney says that
Jim Corbett was the star of our
heavyweight boxers I think that
Mr. Graney knows something at
that. I saw Corbett at his best
when he beat Jake Kilrain, He
made a show of Jake if ever a show
was made. I can’t imagine Jim Jef
fries even touching Corbett at that
time.
Ccorbett was 24 years of age then,
and he was uncanny in his work.
Jim Jeffries was 24 when he won
the title from Fitzsimmons, I should
liked to have seen the cumber
some Jefries meet Corbett at that
time,
The only fight that I can think of
that would compare with this was
the night that Jem Driscoll made
a monkey of Leach Cross here in
New York.
Yours for the old-timers,
J. COONEY.

WHAT THEY ALL SAY.
Theyv were talking about old-time
fighters the other ‘night at Billy
ARTISTS IN
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-——When the
seven leading balkline pilayers of
‘America meet it competition at the
National American Billlard Cham.
pionship tournament, , which com
mences here October 20, billiard lov
ers will have settled for good a. num-~
ber of arguments ana disputes as to
the comparative ability of the varfous
players.
Chief among the controversies to be
ended by results of the play at the
Astor will be the Schaefer-Cochran-
Hoppe dispute, which has occupled
the center of the stage in the bil
liard world for a long time. It has
not been many months since Welker
Cochran, the youthful marvel, was
elamoring for a match with Hop%e,
his backers claiming for him that he
had earned the right to meet the
champion for the title. Words flew
fast for a while, but much to the
disappointment of tne pilliard fans,
who were eager for the match, it
never materialized, and in spite of a{l
the efforts made.no one was able to
Ybring the two cue wizards to an un
lerstanding.
Young_Jake Schaefer is another of
the younger plavers who has been
asking for a chance at the title
Many times a maten between
Schaefer and Hoppe has.been in the
making, but has always come 10
nothing. There are thousands of
billiard fans througheat the country
who believe that Schaefer will suc
ceed to the titles held by his father,
and their belief has been strength
ened by recent perrormances, espe
cially Schacfer’s run of 307 in the
exhibition match with Welker Coch
ran.
Again, many jhave never been sat
isfied with the result of the Cochran-
Schaefer matches and have wanted. g
real test of strength between the two,
representing as they do the cream of
the ability of the younger players.
The recent contests played by them:
took place in billiard rooms and were
not under the championship condi
tions they will play under in the
tournament at the Astor Hotel. The
match between Schaefer and Cochran
should furnish real proof of the com
parative ability of the two and will
be watched with as much interest as
any scheduled in the tourney, for it
would be a hard matter to tell which
is the better of the two players at the
present time,

- Gibson's place. Some insisted that
the fighters of today were scene
shifters as compared with the old
boys. Others said that boxing had
improved so that the old-timer
wouldn’t have a chance with a good
man of today.
Then Gibson chimed in.,
“It’s a fact,” piped Bill, “you can’t
make an oldt-imer believe that Sul
livan and that gang were not un
beatable 1n their prime. You know
1 took my father to see Jim Coffee
and Joe Jeanette training one day.
Jing was in top form at that time
and Jeanette was priming him up
for me My father watched them
go through three rounds without
saying a word. - When the work
out was finished and we were on
our way downtown I said to him,
‘Well, pop, what do you think of
my coming champion, Jim Coffey?
“The old man gave me one look
and, stepping out faster than usual,
said, ‘Sure, John l\%‘rlsey could
lick them both in a found.’ ™
