Juggling the grandoldopo 1b a popular Indoor port, so wo might as well set used to It now. Two weeks ago the -Slants were tho heavy favorites In the series. Our very fcest experts admitted that tho American League entry would be only nn added at traction and furnish tho music for the triumphant marrch of the Men of McGraw. i-Tho Cothamltcs had such a cinch in tho older circuit that It was supposed they ould repeat against tho White or Red Sox, but after calm thought sentiment has changed. It Is admitted thai, ino American League Is much stronger than i. ., i ,-. . ... . . ...... ... . . j i.i. j jfl d?e That being the case, how would tho Giants have farod had they heen playing in place of the Yankee; all teason? It's a hard question to answer and wo have to fall back on the dope. According to grand stand experts and other critics, New York would have a tough time of It In the American League. On tho other hand, home of the dopesters llguro that the Ited Sox slipped considerably and it was the weakness of Uoston, not the strength of Chicago, that gavi the "White Sox tho pennant. Per haps this is true and perhaps It Isn't; but tho fact remains that How land's men It was a hard very much " until a few wcek3 ago. Their batting slumped terribly and all ttioy could do was assist on the defense. The other members of the team came through In a pinch and this proves that Chicago not only has a good bull club but also a well- balanced one. f ,, "We must give the edge to tho "While Sox in tlu coining scries. Thoy Mould fbc the favorites in the first game, frot because of their brilliant recoid, but because they will open on tho homo grounds. Playing bcroro tho home crowd Is a big as,et ta r, ball club. When every fan In tne place is pullln? for a victory .and cheering every move, tho men are inspired to heroic efforts. Also, thoy ara familiar with the grounds and will have a decided advantage there. There are not more than two 'players on the Giants' team who ever played ball In Comlskey I'arK. Ilclnlo Zlmm performed tliero in tho city scries, und perhaps Al Demaree sank his 3pikes in tho turf, but that lets them out. It takes time to become ac- 'Customcd to a ball Held, especially the vlnd currents, and the lights and shadows. Tho center-Held fence wilPbe hard to becomo accustomed to, as It is painted In a variety of colors and a stranger Is likely to lose tho ball before It 'reaches tho Plate. beat out a classy field and had a harder time of it than New York. Bght from the start and stars like Collins and Jackson did not help NEW YOItK plays here against the Phils on October 2, 3 and 1. The team will leave on tho night of the fourth and arrive in Chicago the next night, It will have no chanco to practice before tho first gamo unless the .riengo out .n tho moaning and that seldom Is dono before a. world scries battle. So Muggsy and his men will faco a handicap at the outset which might cost them the game. The White Sox, however, will be able to find their way around tho Polo Grounds as they have been playing there all year against the Yankees. Left-Handers Have No Terrors for the White Sox rnilE pitching staffs will play an important part in tho fall classic and hcie is. where tho Chicago crowd shlncj. It has been doped that tho fork-handed hurlers in New York would stand the White Sox on their heads, but this argu ment has fallen flat, JlcGraw has Schupp, Salleo and Uenton to call upon, and if tho Windy City sluggers do their bit, tliW trio will havo somo hard luck. As an example, Jake yesterday's game with Boston, which won the flag for Chicago. Dutch Leonard was on tho mound, was hammered for eight hits and lost tho game in ten innings. How does Leonard compare with Schupp, Sullte or Ben ton? The' edge Is in favor of the Red Sox hurler. Ruth also has been beaten and Babe would be a welcome addition to McGraw's staff. To say that tho pitching staff of either club will excel Is guesswork at best, for tho Giant and White Sox hurlers never have been opposed on tho mound, and what they have accomplished In their own leagues cannot be taken as a basis for figuring what may bo expected of them In the big October classic, because pitchers tho best of them are as fickle as fortune. But it is interesting to com pare tho work of the rival teams against left-hand pitching, because left-handers are going to figure quite prominently In the big games unless present signs fait. Tho White Sox, of course, may be expected to play their heaviest stack on Eddie Cicotte, who is a right-handed "fog ball" merchant. Red Faber, who has been going great guns for the Sox of late, also Is right-handed. But tho Giants generally are stronger against right-hand pitching than they are against tho southpaws, and for this reason Russell and Williams, the best southpaw bets on Clarence Rowumd's staff, may be expected to get a call to the mound If Cicotte is beaten In the opening game, which ho virtually la sure to pitch. Perhaps it is a good thing for the Giants that they havo three of the best left-handed pitchers in tho National League on their own staff. Outside of Rlxey, Cooper, Vaughn, Marquard and Nehf, tho Giant trio Uenton, Schupp udSalIce dominate the ranks of topnotch portslders in the old league, and the Giants havo them on their own side of tho fence. THE records show that National League southpaws have been a bug bear -to McGraw's team, for tho outstanding members of the side wheelers in Governor Tener's circuit had won soventcen and lost eighteen zames against the Giants up to September 5. New York Is Weak Against Southpaws IF THESE figures can bo taken as an indication of New York's sttength against left-handers, it is reasonable to believe that McGraw's men will find the White Sox portslders moro dangerous than their right-handers. And don't overlook the fact that Russell and Williams are Just as good as the best portslders In tlie National League, for tho pair of them trimmed Boston consistently all summer, a feat which is a feather in any pitcher's cap. The White Sox, on the other mitt have been trimming some of the crack American League fork-handers consist ently all season, l'itchlng figures up to tho fifth of September showed that out of a total of thirty-five games played against the foremost portslders In tho American League, Chicago won twenty-four games and lost but eleven, a record which speaks for Itself in sizing up what Rowland's maul-wielders can do to port side pitching. ' Love, Ruth, Boehling, Koob, Stan Coveleskie and Mogrldge, all h.vo felt tho power of Chicago's bats. The last two named had failed to win a 'game from tho White Sox up to tho date aforementioned and had lost nine games between them. If this showing Is an indication of what may be expected from Rowland's men in the fall classic, there Is trouble ahead for Benton, Schupp and Salleo, who, with Verrltt, will compose the quartet from which McGraw (wlll most likely select his .orld's series performers. Territt Is a right-hander, and his pitching has, been 'a feature of the closing weeks of the Giant drive down the homestretch. But tho others are stdewheelers, and the most consistent pitchers on the Giant staff. v FIGURE it out anyway you care to allowing for the fact that the rival pitchers never have been opposed on the mound and that they cannot bo sired up with any degree of consistency when it comes to foretelling what they wilt do in the world's series it looks to a man up a tree as though Rowland's men liayo a slight edge in the box. Despite Denials by Senators Cleveland Likely to Land Johnson jjjg rrUIlS sale of Walter Johnson, star pitcher on the Washington team, will take Svi'ji!ac at the closo of the season, according to an announcement a few days aco lie was to go to the Cleveland club Tor a cash consideration. As soon as this bit of news was given publicity Clark Griffith made hasto to deny It. Johnson's sale has been reported often Ijefore, but Just now there seems to bo some founda tion for the story.

The new chunmlons of the Amiriran Leaguo finish their Bcason in New York with a farewell smack at the Yankees. They will board a train immediately after tho camo at tho Polo Grounds nnd hrnt it to Chleapo, there to take It easy until the Uiants get in sight. They have had teera! one-day l.-iurfs this month and ono (hat extended the better part of n week. They hae, only eight, games left on their schedule. Tho Giants still must win two games beforo they can c'nlin the pennant ns their own.

EWING AGAIN TO PUT TEAM ON THE GRIDIRON Tho Uwlng A A., ono of the oldest in dependent football teams in tho Uast, has organized for tho season of 1917, which marks its twenty-second successlvo year on the gridiron. HERZOG TO BE ON THE OLD JOB WITH GIANTS TO GIVE HIS BEST WHEN BELL RINGS FOR BIG GAMES r Always a Hustler, New York's Captain Will Be Out There After the White Sox's Scalp, Playing His Head Off BY GRANTLAND RICE Lines on Peace When I walk out by a friendly lane, Iiy a path I lenow that is fringed with green, It is something to dream o a guarding peace That hovers over the quiet scene. But when, by a turn in the road beyond, A rattlesnake lifts its poisoned head, The only peace J can dream of then Is a rattlesnake that's dead. IT CAN" bo figured almost a certainty tnat Charley llerzog wilt bo In the world scries and that he will bo In shape to glvo his best, provided ho takes a sufficient rest. "When Ifcrzog left tho club his team had tho pennant won by forty-seven kilometers, which Is as far as from Juno to October. There wasn't cen the gray ghost of a chMico for another club. Tho Olants' captain was In poor shape and had been playing for weeks on his nerve. Ills health was badly run down, and tho big mystery Is Jut why the Giants management didn't Insist upon his taking a lest to get into proper shape for the cham pionship. New York's world series record lias been spotted enough to call for every precaution. The Big Town has won one out of four starts, which is nothing to rave about. With Herzog In shape, the Giants would be 30 per cent better oft for tho main melee next month, rt would havo been worse than foolish for him to continue playing or traveling In the shape he was. llerzog has always given his best to every club he lias worked with. He has always been ono of tho hardest hustlers on the field. It would have been Insane for him to have continued playing in such poor physi cal shape, where his condition might have soon led to a serious illness. An earnest fanatic writes in to know COMMITTEE ON FOOTBALL RULES TO CONFER AT WALTON, SEPT. 26 Managers of Amateur Elevens Are Invited to Attend Session Mc Carty Is Coach at Episcopal Academy Uy ROBERT W. MAXWELL A FOOTBALL rules interpretation meet ing will bo held in Philadelphia next Wednesday evenlntr, September 20, at Hotel Walton. Gridiron officials, coaches, mana geiB and players are invited to attend, and the p'aying code for 1U17 will be discussed untr each rule Is made perfectly clear. This meeting will bo an Important one and followers of the full Kpoit Urtually will luivo their only opportunity to straighten out the vague and intricate points. Mana gers, captains and players of the independent elevens, such as Vlctrlx. Vincome, Kwing A. C. McClure A. C. and Conshohocken, are especial'y urged to be present and take part In the discussion. Tho meeting will berin at 7:30 p. m. The football rules for tills year contain soma changes, the most Important belne the legislation on the forward pass. This year a strict rule has been Inserted which should help the game and mak it .re open. If a player deliberately Interferes with a man attempting to catch a forward pass tho. penalty lias been changed to loss of ball at the spot of the foul. This does not mean that a bom fide attempt to catch the ball wilt be penalized, but any foul which seems deliberate and where the offender has no chance to catch the ball will result In the severe penalty. It is up to tlie officials to use their own Judgment, and somo of the coaches will have some swell alibis for de feat this fall. Rule on Substitutes Another rule prevents substitutes from communicating with his team until after He has been in one play. This will be hard at first, but the men soon will get used to It. Foster Sanford's "multiple kick" which never was any good, has been ruled out, and a place kick more clearly defined. The ball now must be kicked from Its position ,when resting on the ground. Prpvlslon also Is made that an Incompleted forward pass does not constitute a foul and hence It is made possible to decline any penalty. It is probable thnt Walter Camp wilt call a meeting m New York next Saturday night, and if such Is the case the rulings of meeting at the Walton on Wednesday night will be submitted for approval.

In the game against Cheltenham II. S. yes terday, the Peu(i Charter eleven, played well and showed promise of developing Into a formidable aggregation before the season ends. Merritt has some small men on the squad, but they have been taught sound, sensible football, and this usually wins In the long run. Yesterday tlie boys played together well and showed flashes of team work seldom seen so clearly in the year. Cheltenham had a strong team and put up a game, hard fisht The touchdown which won the game was more or less of a fluke, as Flemmlng picked Up the ball on a fumbled punt and raced across tho line for a score, Chelten ham has a heavy line which wilt inflict soma damage on her opponents, this year mm vpumi jtjaiiiincric, wno pi&ys quarter back, looks like nneof ta afeols4i atari N whether Heinle Zim shouldn't be classed as the greatest third baseman baseball has produced. Not with Jimmy Collins and Bill Brad Icy to bo figured In the returns Heinle's infield play this heason has been on a par with the best. He has been play ing even as well as Jimmy Collins. But it must be remembered that Collins linked a number of great years together and that the old Boston star could always be found around .330 or .340 There is still matter for debate this sea son as to whether or not Zim has outclassed Heinle Groh. Tlie two Heinles havo un doubtedly led the parade. Zim has pro duced a slight margin over Groh around third, but the Ited star has led his Giant rival at bat and In runs ccored, which leaves the argument still undecided.

Football should be played this year But there will be no championships, and It Is Just as well to understand the fact In ad vance that there will be no credits belonging to any winning eleven not when the win nera are opposed to rivals who have most of their 1916 stars at the front.
