Outside of the fact that the blfr cornes aro exceedingly mall and the coming world's series Is paramount In the minds of tho public, the Initial appearance of the strenuous pastime should be a success. Local Interest at en the wane because Tenn has no game scheduled, but In New Kngland and In .tho western part of, the State something will be done. Drown will prove that flMhall will be played In Rhode Island and will crack the season against the srtreag Rhode Island State eleven. Cornell l scheduled to play Rochester, but it s not definitely known whether the gome will be played. Penn State plays' the MMfeUtanc unft at Allentown, Carlisle mingles with Albright, Colgate meets usquehanna, Dartmouth ' opens with Colby and the University of 1'ltts.burgh, fast year's champions, will meet a tough foe In West Virginia In slurgantown. This last game Is tho most Important of the day, as It will bring together two of tho best elevens In the country. West Virginia last year surprised the football world by turning out a first-class eleven and finishing seventh in tho efflclal ranking. Pitt trimmed everything on the map and experts to do the tame this year, regardless of the fact 'that many of the best men are in the service. At any rate, It will be an Important game and It will demonstrate more ttian anything else whether the game Is to be popular or not this full. The b.ittle will bo fought In Itorgantown, which Is far away from the bright lights of a Me city, and If a huge crowd attends things will look much brighter for the fort. The game Itself seems too Important for such un early date, but both schedules were filled and It was Impossible to put It on later. It Is possible that tfco teams will get together later next year. QOMB excellent contests are scheduled as the season progresses and J Interest should bo widespread. The smaller colleges will get some . consideration In the argument over who Is champion as Yale, Harvard and Princeton are having little to say, except that most of the students wish football had not been stopped. the h No Legislation Yet Against "Shine Ball" JTiHEKE has been no official protest over the "shine ball" as yet. When A National Commission was In session last week at Cincinnati completing ar rangements for the world's series there was nothing said about Eddie Clcottc's freak delivery. President Comlskey reported that theie was no protest by Owner Hempstead, of the Giants. Comlskey also added that uny attempt to get official action would be turned down, for the simple reason that the commis sion has no proof that the "shine bull" exists. The matter will be left entirely to the umpires In charge, and as the American League arbiters have been unable to discover anything during a season of 154 games, It Is hardly likely that the curiosity of the blue-suited gents from the parent circuit will be sutlstled. They have heard much about Clcotte and his mysterious delivery and they can- be counted upon to follow his every move while on the mound. Clcotto has been ne of the wonders of the season, und while most of hla opponents aro reluctant . to attribute his great come-back to his own natural ability, they havo ascribed It to an illegal delivery, which even the umpires In Ban Johnson's circuit could not say was unfair. There Is one point on which Comlskey may seek a little information before the big show pops open a week from today. It Is well known, and has been for some time, that McGraw has a fulling for a high pitching mound. The uliib at the Polo Grounds now Is elevated many Inches higher than any other park, and It is a handicap to pitchers accustomed to work closer to the ground. McGruw constructed this turret effect principally for "Itube" Marquard, who was able to lean over and Just about drop his fast bull on the tops of the batters' heads. 'The Giants' present corps of left-handers has cultivated much the name habit, and there have been hints that tho Giant boss might add a little dirt to the mound JUMt to aggravate the Sox hurlers. Well, if he does lie won't get away with It. because the Sox officials will demand a survey. It Is reported, und it the mound Is Illegal McGraw will hav to hire a steum shovel und manlcuro the firing line on the Polo Grounds. While the Polo Grounds slab may be a bit high, the Giant pitchers will enjoy no such privilege In Chicago. The Sox diamond now Is under a recun btructlon process, and when the work Is finished the slab will be not more than six Inches above the plate. The Sox hurlers. are used to such an elevation und it will not bother them, whereas It may trouble the Giants. At tne same time, the Sox have worked on tho New York field for several years, but we have known recent cases where Rowland's hurlers explained a bad afternoon there by men tioning the humpback effect In the landscape. Clark Griffith pulled the same stunt when the new Washington park was completed. It was for the special benefit of Walter Johnson, but the rival teams soon wised up und the "Old Vux." was forced to do a little altering under orders from headquarters. Another point on which" Comlskey spoke recently was the line-up of his team for tho big show. The "Old Roman" has been In communication with his manager and the two definitely have decided that George ("Buck") Weaver will hold down the shortstop's position. "Buck" has been offiupylng the place for the last few days, but Rowland excused this change on -the ground that Rlsberg was suffering with a cold. The boss merely wanted to let the bad newtfse;p In slowly. It will be a blow for the "Swede," who has done yeoman bervlce ut short throughout the season, but when slipped the winner's end of the series purse his feelings yrobably will be appeased. HyjES, we will have to have Weaver in that llnc-up," quoth the Sox owner. "He Is a real fighter any way you want to taKe him, and it is fight we will need. After wjiat McMullln showed ut third base during the illness of Weaver there was no chance to supplant him. He won tho vyberlh by consistent work and will have to be recognized. Weaver at short will Improve the team at bat, and us 'Buck Is un old stuger at the big league stuff, he probably will be steady. A youngster m a world's series Involves more or less risk." "" American League Has Won Eight World's Series THE coming- world's series will be the fourteenth clash between tho pennant winners of the American and National Leagues for the supremacy in base Wall. A series between the Boston Americans and Pittsburgh Nationals back in 1M3 was the first Interleague championship battle, and the Interest In that seiies did not? give the least Idea that within a few years such contests would keiome tho sport classic of the country. When that first series was played there was no friendly rivalry between the two leagues. The American League Just had forced recognition from the senior circuit a few years before, and It was John I. Taylor, tnen the owner of the Red Sox, who hurled the challenge at Barney Dreyfuss. Jimmy Collins, famous third baseman, was manager of the Boston club and Fred Clarke was at the head of the winning Pirates. There were few ot the old fans who were willing to admit that the American League classed with the old organization and the Red Sox went Into the series real long shots. Drey lues unhesitatingly accepted the challenge and he lost. The Pirates started out kke real winners, but the Red Sox won the last three games and took five out of ,tne, Dreyfuss was the loser, but he paved the way to the big event which the World's series since have become. Then came a year without a scries the only break between 1903 artd tho jprstent time. In 1904 Jimmy Collins again led his Boston team home In- first fece a,nd John McGraw won his first pennant as leader of the Giants. Naturally the talk of another series sprang up and the Boston club was anxious to defend Mm. litis of world's champions. After much deliberation an announcement was Wtde that the New York club would not play such a series. The late John T. Brush was then the directing spirit of the Giants und he had not entirely for sjvtten the wounds. Inflicted by the American League during the baseball war. Yht fall the National Commission passed a rule making such a series between the major league pennant winners obligatory, and there has been no break since cc 1W4 season. Of the games played to date the American League has the edge on tho older rtnfation. Or the thirteen series between these organizations, the represemu tbm t Ban Johnson's league have been victorious eight times and the National lltm-it representatives- have been victorious five times. The American League ltd -won thirty-eight games against thirty-four for the senior organization, and two Sma have ended with the score tied. In the early days the honors usually to the National League four of the first six series going against the John- ohibs, In 1119 the tide turned, and since that year the younger league has i a. ratfcar consistent winner.

Sept. 29. Clarence Row land, niannger of the White Sox, does not belicvo that tho Dun Johnson circuit ho fur outclasses the National League as to malie a While Sox world's series victory al most certain. Itowliuul believes the Giants will prove the mobt worthy representative the Xntional League has had since the New York Club ulmout trimmed Boston hack In 1912. He believes Herd Mchupp and Slim Sallcc will give the White Sox oodles Of trouble, nnd he declares Poll 1'crrltt will bear plenty of wutchlng. Itowland, however, is exuding confidence becaube he believes his team carries tho most consistent punch, light though It may be, In the big leagues. Admitting the power In the (Hunts' attack, he pointed out that the White So always have been able to w In hen victories were needed. "My pitching staff Is excellent," he said, "but It is not so good as that of tho Ited Sox. In bpciklng of a pitching staff, ref erence to Boston must Include four men who have been at their best all summer. Ruth, Shore, Mas and Leonard have pitched the Red Sox to their spot. My pitching staff, speaking of It as a staff, is just two men." ' And there Rowland stopped. Tho two men are still among the myhterles. Whether he referred to Clcotte mid Russell or Clcotte nnd Haber was not disclosed. Undoubtedly It was one of thef two combinations, with the odds heavy that the pair will do all tho White Sox curving in the coining big contests. Rowland also picked out Kddle Collins for some praise. "Charley Herzog is a great second base man," said the White Sox loider, "but those critics who were picking Herzog us tho equal of Collins don't take Into consideration the heights Collins Is able to reach. Ho Is the greatest short-series player In baseball, und it will come out in this series. Ho Is my whole Inlleld. He curries those boys uloug in the tough spots. He Is not hitting at his old-time speed simply because he Is sacrificing everything to win ball games. The old punch Is there If anything, he Is a better ballplayer than he was In Philadelphia." SCHALK, CATCHING FOR WHITE SOX, WILL HAVE HIS HANDS FULL AGAINST M'CARTY AND RARIDEN FOR GIANTS Chicago Backstop Will Probably Work Through Entire Series, While New York Men Will Have Chance to Rest Up By GKANTLAND KICE pAVMOND W. SCHALK, tho Harvcl J-v Marvel, Is only twenty-five years old. Yet he has served no fewer than six years under the mg Top a'nd Is now un old story In the record. Schnlk, In this series, miist tackle single handed counting either the gloved or the bared hand two Giant sluggers In Lew McCarty and Rill Rarlden, who will com bine their repertoire for the series. Schalk's Ability Hor tho last two years Schalk has been the most valuable catcher in baseball. He Is no slashing hitter, but ho is often a timely tntry at bat. Leaving his batting out for the moment, in all other ways he Is one of tho game's stars. Schalk is not only a fine mechanical catcher, arrayed with a stout young arm. Ho Is ulso a tireless worker, a keen hustler, an aggressive fighter and a cool, (iulck thinker. He is n rare type to have back of the bat, facing the field. He not only keeps his pitchers working at top speed, but he In jects pepper Into the entire play. Schalk belongs to the well-knit, stocky tribe. He Is under the average height, but Is well put up, and a cat Is very little quicker. He Is also good for 135 or HO games a year, a rare attribute In any catcher. He has caught moro games In tho last five years than almost uny other man has caughfln the last six or seven. McCarty and Rariden In Lew McCarty and Bill Rarlden Mc Graw has nil the advantage upon attack. McCarty will bat .280 to Schalk's .L'25. RUr lden Is good for .265 or .270. Both Giant catchers can wallop tho bull, nnd with the pair on hand the Olant offen sive gathers In a number of increased points. McCarty suffered a broken leg early in the year, and while he has been back In the game for a spelt there Is still the sugges tion of a limp. He Is a first-class catcher in all mechanical ways, a cool worker and one of the gainest of them all. McCarty is more of a hustler than Rail- SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS By LOUIS H. JAFFE lien, who is a good mechanical catcher without any particular flash or flame. Rariden can lilt and handle any pitcher, hut lis Isn't what you'd call an Inspiration. With Bill catching Is merely a day's work. Ho Is willing to do his part of It and let It go at that. The Three Schalk Is almost certain to catch every game of the series. McCarty and Rarlden will split the Xevv York assignment, but whether it will be on a 00-50 basis Is known only to McGruw. If McCarty is in flrst-class shape he probably will do most of the work, as he la a better hitter and more aggressive than Rarlden is. While Chicago has the advantage with Schalk, theie Is plenty of ability in Mc Graw's department, with no faint prob ability that the series will be lost by rugged work back of the plate. The Giant Chance Tho only way McCarty anc! Rarlden can even up Schalk's greater effectiveness In a defensive way is to lead him by several strides upon attack. Here McCarty will have a big udvantage The Giant catcher batted more than .350 last reason, and ho was Just starting for .300 this year when ho cracked a leg. McCarty is not only a .?00 batting typo over an extended stretch, but being an ug gresslve typo will be even more dangerous In a bhort bcrlcs, whero lie Is ns liable to drive In a run ns any man at tho top of the batting order. No Flurries None of tho three catchers belongs to the Flutter Division. Schalk is usually better in u hard test than ut uny other time. So Is McCarty. A tornado couldn't upset Rarlden's polbe, as Bill is entirely apart from temperament or Imagination., A world berlcs game, to him Is Justu ball game. Just as a world heries game was only a M,aL' Kame to Jolm Franklin Baker. You will find him under flro about as emotional us one .of the stately pyramids. IT TAKi;S more than a good boxer to make himself a gyod boxer before tho eyes of the fan. Ho must have a good manager. No ring gladiator can go along on his own hook and become a star scrap per. He must have some one else to pull the strings und know how to pull 'em. When Jack Ruhmj came up from New Or leans he was virtually an unknown. He may have done some good boxing down South, but no one above the Mason and Dixon line knew about It. On arriving In New York, Russo connected himself with Scotty Montelth, and it toojt the boxer but one bout to prove that he had a lot or ., T..UL. ...on mafh,,l With Kddle Wagond here last Saturday night, and after the bout Jack otani nave vu auimi. that he was a good boxer. The fans at the National Club knew it themselves, after they had got a squint at his, work, Mon telth didn't let a little thing like frenzied finance hold back Russo from making his bow In Phllly. He knew that the boy had the stuff and would grab his share of big kale after being Introduced. Itusso sprang right Into the wind-up class oft the reel. Tonight ha will appear In the National's stur scrap with Johnny Mealy, local lad with the kayo kick. If nusso can get by Meaty so Impressively as he did against Wagond bright prospects wll be before him for big matches here. Russo may not shape up for a' set-to with Benny Leonard, but he might do for a crack at a lot of the Jlghtwelght mob that are anxious to get In 'the same ring with the champ. RUSSO Is one of three good boxera Montelth has In hand, and he refers to them as "Three at A Kind, Each an Ace," Johnny uunaee ana raui uoyte are, the other two and all three are Italians.
