i 1 Kc , tr: &. Efc .; &' fr- & EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1017 CHICAGO PANS NOW ARE GETTING THEIR POCKETBOOKS MEASURED FOR THE WORLD SERE JVHITE SOX ARE WALLOPED BY A'S, BUT GAIN HALF GAME WHEN BOSTON DROPS PAIR.OF COMBATS TO DETROIT Red Sox Seem to Have Cracked Under Strain. j, Jing Johnson Holds Future Champions to Four Hits and Pitches Best Game of His Career .TjWfito In defeat the Chlcaeo White Sox looked llko the futuro American League champions yesterday. The titular npDearnnce was not due to Ithelr swell Wylng or anything llko that: but Uoston dropped a pair of those crucial gam.cn to Detroit and tho pale-hose aggregation gained another half game on tho run erup. It looks now as If the'lled Sox had given up all hopo of playing In the -world series. Two defeats In ono afternoon don't help things any, especially when tht first walloping came after eight errors had been mado. If they don't win the Jiennant, Barry's men will have the honor of setting a Reason's record for foozle. Th second game was hard fought, Detroit winning by a elnglo score, but that alngle score was as .good as a million. Unless appearances aro deceitful, Boston has cracked under the strain and from now on Comiokey will havo nothing to trorry him but the world series. However, and bo that as It may, Chicago had a rough afternoon at Shlbo Park. With Eddie Cicotte In the box, our Athletics walloped tho daylights out of hlsslarts and copped fne combat by tho score of 2 to 1. This was strange and unusual treatment for the White Sox and the players didn't know what to mako of It. They aro so accustomed to winning ball games and have such respect for their prowess on the ball field that tho sudden rverso came like a bolt from n clear Bky. But they received a first-class trimming and wero lucky to hold It to the slender margin of one run. It should have been more. Amos Strunk gummed things up a p couple of times, his worst blunder coming In the nevcnth. Ho slammed the ball against the right-field fence for a triple and as only one was out, a scoro seemed certain. Stuffy Mclnnls was at bat and Amos took a long lead off the base. Cicotte pitched a low one and flulck as a flash Schnlk ohot the ball to third. 8 trunk tried to get back, but his foot slipped or something and he was nailed. STRUNK can- be forgivon for this bum play, despite the fact It would have put the game on Ice. Amos has not been around to third base for a long time and didn't know how to act when he got thero yesterday. However, he came through with a healthy wallop In the ninth which re sulted In Palmer's scoring the winning counter. Jing Johnson Pitched Best Game of His Career THE big, outstanding feature of the fracas was tho high-class hurling dished out by Jingling Johnson. The youngster had more stuff than ever beforo and had the future champions eating out of his hand. For four Innings he held them httless and runlcss and yleUcd but ono regular hit In nine Innings. Four wero chalked up against him, but three wero Just a littlo bit lucky. Llebold hit ono through Palmer's legs and another was stopped by Grovcr after a hard run. Eddie Collins was awarded a safety when tho ball took a bad bound and sailed over Whltey Witt's head and Clcotto lammed a swell single to center. Eddie poled out the only hard-hlx ball off Johnson's delivery. Jlng's work was highly gratifying to Connlo Mack. The lean manager has been shy on pitching talent all summer nnd good work in tho box even at this late hour helps some. Jackson, Kelsch and fiandil were helpless, and a pitcher who can set down this Ltlo of sluggers Is going some. Johnson deserved to win the game and tho victory no doubt will give him added confidence In his future battles. The only sad feature from a local viewpoint was the terrible work on the bases. Strunk was tho pflncipal offender, with two boners to his credit. Deforc he wnB caught off third, he fell asleep at drat in tho fourth inning and was eliminated by Cicotte, Gandll and Weaver. Those who attempted to Bteal second wore nulled by a wide margin, but thoy persisted in trying to steul despite the fact that Schalk's throwing arm was in great shape. Still, we can't have everything at tho present writing. Connlo has the makings of a first-class ball club and It Is looking better every day. Palmer does not seem to fit In at third, but the position is new to him and he is bound to Im prove. Witt Is making errors, but he Is trying hard and goes after everything. As soon as he quits fighting tho ball and gets more confidence in himself ho will be a valuable player. WHEN one of Rowland's outfleldors makes an error It is a good one. Wo havo remarked abqut the throwing arms attached to the outposts and we still believe in them. In the ninth inning Nemo Llebold demon strated his long-distance throwing ability when ho hurled the hall from short right Held into the grand stand behind third base. The throw was so good and it traveled so far that Palmer scored from first baso, winning the game. Ping Dodie Shows While Sox How Much They Miss Him PINO BODIE cares no more about winning from the White Sox than the Kaiser does about taking Paris. The rotund left fielder was on the Job cv,ery minute and Insisted on playing a star game. He got but ono hit, but It was a sweet one. In the first Inning, with Grovcr on first, tho hltand-run was flashed and Schalk called for a pitch-out. Roy was off for second when tho ball ncared the pinto nnd Ping threw his bat at the floating pill. He pushed the ball Into right for a single and told the Chicago players all about it when ho reached first. In tho field Bodle accepted three chances, ono being a difficult catch on t'chalk'a liner In tho fifth. Ping Is looking better as tho season wanes. Ho has taken off most of his excess weight and Improved his speed. Instead of a castofT, he has every ap pearance of a real big leaguer an(i Is up In the big show to stay for a long time. He would have been a great help to the Whlto Sox this year. Another player who will bear watching Is Jamieson-ln right field. Jimmy was chased by Washington, but as soon as ho Joined the Athletics his work improved. He is tho only real right fielder Connlo has had since the days of Danny Murphy and fills the gap which has long been In evidence. Connie is bolstering the weak pots here and thero and soon will have them filled. Then look out for one of those old-time pennant drives. MACK Is trying a new stunt this year and hopes to got a line on his new talent. Each morning a flve-lnnlng ball game Is played between tho regulars and the youngsters and these games are real. Connie keeps his eagle eye on the recruits and passes Judgment on them while they are In action. These games will continue throughout the -season and Joe Ohl keeps a record of them. Philadelphia Fans Like Chances of Chicago in World Series LOCAL baseball fans who follow the fortunes of the Phils and the A's and attend J almost every game played In this city seem to favor the White Sox in a short series against the Giants. Back of first baso. where some of the boys back their Judgment with real money and lots of It, there Is a feeling that the prevailing odds will be even money when the teams go to the post. "I can't see where the Giants have anything on Chicago," said Phil Barr yes terday, and Phil knows better than any ono else the betting sentiment in Philadel phia, "Every one around hero has figured that eachteam has a chance In a short aeries and If New York is an 8-to-5 favorite, as many believe, there will bo so much money wagered on the White Sox that the odds will drop to even. We have had an opportunity to study the players of both clubs and they are similar In many respects. The Giants go in and wallop the ball when behind and throw science to the winds and Chicago does the same thing. Each club Is composed of sluggers and the pitching corps cf the White Sox Is Just a Bhade bettor than McGraw's. The loss of Herzog will weaken the Giants, but I believe he will be In the series! All of this talk about his being suspended will hammer down the odds on the Giants and, the wise ones will try to place their bets. We aro not falling for It here, but I would not be surprised if tho people out lr Chicago will make their team the favorite before the first game. "The first game will bethe Important one. If -..e White Sox are played at vens, the odds wiV 1 2 to l,!n their favor If thy win the opener. Tho same thing will happen il New York wins. Last year I remember that the Red Sox were l-to-3 favorites with no takers. I feel sure that the Sox will win, but I don't think I will get better than even money for the first game." TODAY the National Commission will toss a coin to decide where the first game of the series- will be played. In case New York wins; the opening game will be held on Friday, October B. They will play again on Saturday and then Jump to Chicago for a game Sunday. This Is the plan ? at present and railroad men are figuring on a schedule fer a special train i It la thought that the teams can leave New York at 6 p. m, Saturdayand' arrive In phlcago at noon. Of course, If Chicago wins the tots, this will be abandoned. , , Robins Can't Score When Pfeffer la Pitching EIO JEFF PFEFFER la finding life a ad one this season with the Robins.

BALL PLAYERS OF 30 YEARS AGO WERE "PANNED" HARD BY SCRIBES; NOW THEY ARE GENTLY "KIDDED" Sundry Extracts Show That Diamond Athletes of Other Days Were Wild-Eyed, Probably Made So by Newspaper Provocation w: baseball writing now and thirty years ago ! Nowadays the pl,ci8 aro Rcntly kidded. Thirty yearn ago they were pounded from pillar to post by the zcaloUH scribes and tho writers wrote Just what they pleased.

Here arc sundry extracts names altered out of respect for tho glorious dead: "Why does tho Cincinnati club persist In standing by the listless and dissipated Leon Geux'' Surely, bis ridiculous attempts at pitching, coupled with his attempt to con Miino all the beer north of tho Hhlnc, should by this time havo been dealt with as they deserve" "Krog Jamsay, our great left-hander, haa SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS Hy LOUIS H. JAFFE THAT champions should meet all logical contenders, white or black, is the opinion of Benny Leonard. Although the New Yorker has never appeared In a bout against a. colored boxer, he has agreed to meet two sons of Semlrambla. Leo Johnion, tomor row night in New York, nnd Kddle Dorsey Tuesday night at Buffalo-. Not since Jack Johnson knocked out. Tommy Burns for the heavyweight title in 190S has a negro had tho chame tubox tor A championship, but now with Leonard on the lightweight throiio n renewed era appears In the boxing world. Here's a statement by Leonard brought to Philadelphia by Jack Wclnsteln, local sportsman: I never boxed any negro before, but I think a champion should meet all challengcis who have shown sufficient class to be regarded ns rivals for his title. I don't think a champion should bar any one, regardless of nationality, race or color. Barring any hotter who might proc to be a better man If given a chance Is not sportsmanlike. I've noticed that tho colleges havo negro athletes on their teams. If it Is all right for a whlto college athleto to compete against a black college athlete I guess it l.s nil right for a white cham pion to givo a black champion a chanco in tho ring. Dixon, Gans and Jcanotto were all good enough to fight the best whlto boxers In their time, and they were a credit to the sport Black men are good enough to fight for this, coun try in the army. Thinking of that made me decide to give Leo Johnson the chance to box for tho title. If he can beat me I'll take my hat off to him. But I don't expect to let him beat me. That's all. Benny should not have much troublo with Leo; In fact, it would not be n shock if Leonard keels over the negro for tho dole ful ten While Johnson is noted as a de fensive boxer, the champion haa tho speed, cleverness and punching ability to beat down Leo's guard. Then, maybe, GOOD NIGHT! - STItANCIE things have happened In the boxln? ring, and If Leo Johnson happens to pui over ono of those "lucky ones," then the lightweight crown will return to the race that was once so ably represented in the ring by Joe Dans. , Johnny Kraue, the NIcetown veteran, Bets his opportunity tonlfht to redeem himself aealnst Darby Caspar, of Smoky Hollow, when they meet In a return bout at the Ilroadway.

One is Hddlo Cicotte, tho Whlto Sox star. The other Is Ferdinand Schupp, tho Giant southpaw AV'hatevcr the Ingredient or the delivery, or what not, Cicotte has a baffling allotment that is thought to be almost unhlttablo by any club thnt hns ever faced him. American Leaguers say that Clcotte's so called "shine ball" will stand tho Giants upon their beam ends, leaving theja thwnrtcd nnd depressed In tho same way, Schupp Is also likely to be a big puzzler for nny club which has never facod him. Tho Olant southpaw has more tp'ccd nnd a sharper curo than his sze would Indicate, nnd, to help this along, he hns a deceptive delivery that Isn't easily gauged. it Is fairly likely that Cicotte and Schupp will meet In tho first game. McGraw may pick Poll Berrltt, but tho advance guess now Is Schupp. With these two engaged, It will be Interesting to seo how the two Mysterious Bafflers come out and whether or not they can live up to their present promise ns Bewllderers In thn Bcalm of Swat. Clcotte's Record Clcotto has nt least one record. Ho Is tho first major leaguo pitcher In history to fnce twclvo ycarH of campaigning nnd havo his twelfth year stand out as hlB best. As a rule, pitchers reach their top nfter thrco or four years. Their best seasons are to be found within their first eight or ten yenrs. But nfter their tenth year they rarely ever reach the heights again Mnthew'son's best year was In 1808, his eighth campaign. That was his last spin above a thirty-game margin. But Cicotte, after reaching a point where it was figured that he must be well on the down grade, suddenly steps forward with the best season he has known, and the best pitching In his league. We hae heard any number of theories ndvnnccd for this. One Is that tho, "shine ball" is responsible. Another Is that a freak delivery has como to his help. The facts aro that, after paddling around for cloven campaigns, tho Sox stnr has sud denly como jipon something which has a tendency to lenvo b'm In a strictly winning mood. The Case of Herzop; " More than d trifle, so far ns tho Giants nrc concerned, will depend upon tho October condition of Charley Herzog, an Ideal field leader, a gront lmll player under tho test and a mnn to bank upon from start to finish. Herzog has been In poor health for the greater part f tho year. Ho has been In poor physical shape, nnd with a player of his typo there is no understudy in the world to tako his place, any moro than there could have been found an understudy for Collins or Evers. Herzog rose to his greatest height in tho 1012 world scries campaign, when ho batted .400 and ac cepted thirty chances without a hobble. But It Is a question ns to whether even Herzog, In bad health, can stand up under tho test. With Herzog In shape the Giants have a shado tho best of tho Infield argument, but only a shade. With Herzog out, the shado shifts tho other day. "I havo a few kopeck," writes a Sox fan, "thnt even If KddlCyColllns doesn't bat .300 this year ho will rftithlt any one man nny one cares to name In the scries. I mean I'll tako Kddio against any other pick." "Votes for women," remarked Jerry Travers, nt tho end of his first round with Mrs. Gavin, "may bo well enough. But 'strokes for women' Is another matter. It doesn't get my vote." Women and Golf Wo have never seen or heard of an official test made as to Just how Miss Molla BJur stedt or Miss Browne or Mrs. May Sutton Bundy might compare with the leading ten nis players of the country.
