ALL SALLEE
ROYAt DEjANS FIGURE SOX VICTORY
WAS KEROSENE CIRCUIT PLAYING
PULLED ON BIG-TIME AUDIENCE
Had There Been a Referee on the Scene Saturday
He Would Probably Have Given His Decision
by Mail Umpires Are Used to It
NEW YORK. Oct. 15.
TTAP Johnny Kllbane staggered to Ills feet In the third lound of that memorable
' flR',it In Shlbo Park last summer, ami ln-ji final deipcrnte rally hit Benny
Leonard on the Jaw nnd knocked him Into tho left field bleachers for a home run.
It would not have been one-half so amazing, startling or surprising as the outcome
of the game between tho White Sox and tho (Hants, In Chicago on Saturday.
The Amrrlcnn League entry was hanging on the ropes, wnbbl: at tho knees,
flying signals of distress and ready to sink for tho third time when the unexpected
happened and the victim turned on the confident victor and snatched one per
fectly good game from the fire. Wo look back nnd shudder a., we think of tho
terrible deed, for the Whlto Sox had no moro lleenso to win thnt ball game than
Emory Tltman has of riunlltylng for tho aviation corps. It probably is ancient
history now. but the fifth battle of the 1D17 world serici should go down In history
or chlortdo of llmo or some other preservative. Never before have two high
class, blg-lcague ball clubs put on such an exhibition, nnd had the game been
played as an added feature to a Sunday school picnic the Irnto spectators would
have had tho players arrested for taking money under false pretenses nnd using
tip their valuable time. It was Kerosene Circuit stuff Inflicted on n blg-tlmo
audience.
This, however. Is a criticism from the viewpoint of nn expert, for the mem
bers of the Loyal Order of Deans arc experts If nothing else. We experts voted
the combat a terrible frost, but the cash customers appeared to get their money's
worth. Everything broko properly for tho homo crowd and tho melodramatic
touch was there In huge gobs. In tho first couple of acts, while the plot thick
ned, the hero was kicked In tho face, thrown Into the dungeon, mauled and
otherwise manhandled while the villain chortled In fiendish glee; but as the show
progressed tho down-trodden guy camo Into his own, overcame the terrlblo handi
caps, won tho fight against odds nnd In triumph corrled off tho girl. Then, when
the curtain dropped, every one wni happy but the villain nnd his friends. No
stage manager cquld have Improved on tho matinee, and even George Young
voted the show a success.
POST-MORTEMS are necessary In a case like this, but nothing can
change the final verdict. It was tho worst ball game ever played In a
world series and both tenms should have been taken out nnd shot nt sun
rise. A referco couldn't have given a decision, for ho probably would have
left In disgust and culled It a draw by mall.
McGraw Elected to Mcrklc Club
THE big, figure which looms on the horizon today Is none other than .lawn Jay
McGraw himself, who was unanimously elected to the Merklc-Snodgrass-John
Anderson League nfter his valiant efforts In that fifth game.
All he did was to lose for New York when he stood out there and allowed
Harry Scatter, alias Slim Sallee, take a grueling beating without answering his
Signals of distress. All Slim had was an amiable disposition and tho ability to
tako punishment.
McGraw evidently decided to muke him nnother Joe Grim, nnd succeeded.
Joe never went through a battle like that one. On four different occasions
Muggsy could have tossed In the sponge, but his arms apparently were tied behind
' his back.
In tho first inning there were three on base nnd Felsch up to bat, but Slim
was allowed to pitch himself out of the hole. A run was scored In tho third when
, Felsch almost knocked the ball into the bleacheis, nnd in tho fifth It was apparent
that the slender person was weakening fast. In tho sixth nnd seventh he should
have been removed nnd when he finally was chased in tho eighth, It was too late.
As one of the Deans remarked. "It was tho most colossal piece of managerial
Stuplidlty I have ever seen In twenty-eight years of baseball."
Rowland, on the other hand, showed rnre Judgment nnd excellent courage,
playing his string of pitchers llko Bobby Gunnis played his royal flush. Ho saw
the handwriting on the wall early In tho game and lost no time In canning
Russell after he got oft to a bad start In the first." Clcotto was called upon nnd
Eddlo performed -wonderfully. Two runners were nipped at tho plate, but one
scored on Robertson's hit. From then until tho seventh, when he mado way for a
pinch hitter, he was effective, but flvo errors by his pals placed the Giants In a
commanding lead, but Rowland was not dismayed. Ho Inserted Williams, another
southpaw, and when he fllvvered, Red Kaber finished tho game. Thus tho so
cUled "bush" manuger used four hurlers where they did the most good, while tho
efficient McGraw used but two where they did the least good. Tho big-town pilot
was outguessed and outgeneraled. His players should glvo him a call-down.
IT IS unusual for tho Giants to sew up a ball game and then proceed to
, toss It away. There was no excuse for losing on Saturday, but we must
give credit to the White Sox for pulling It out of the fire,
the end while the New York team turned tall and ran.
Free-for-A 11 Not Unlikelu
TT WOULD not be at all surprising to see ono of the games break up In a free
" for-all fight between tho players. Considerable ill-feeling has been shown nnd
on several occasions the men were on tho verge of flying at each other's throats.
Saturday Collins was blocked by Herzog and allowed to take third base, and
Weaver was held by Fletcher as he rounded the bag. Fletcher and Felsch also
slipped a few vitriolic words after Happy had slid Into second with his spikes
exposed, but nothing came of It. Heinlo the Zlm seems to be aching for a fight,
and there are several players on the Whlto Sox anxious to accommodate him.
Diplomatic relations are likely to be severed at any minute and then look out for
the fireworks. ,
In five games the Giants shbwed that they are star players, but each man Is
not working for the team. He wants all of tho Individual glory ho can get nnd
Is working for it. Herzog wants to outshine Eddlo Collins; Kauff Is anxious to
make a better showing than Felsch; Fletcher's opo thought Is to outshine Weaver,
and all down the line. The White Sox, on the other hand, are fighting, but tho
players first consider the team. Eddie Collins, whose work Is tho real featuro of
the series, never lets down. He Is on his toes all of the time, playing wonderful
ball and urging his teammates to do the same. He is a natural leader and tho
men follow him. They play as a team, not as Individuals, nnd this has triumphed.
They were beaten and demoralized In tho fourth inning Saturday and looked llko
a BO-to-1 shot to win. Five-errors in a row made them look extremely sad and
the Giants were laughing at th"em. This aroused the players, and In tho sixth
and seventh they -started to play real baseball and swept the aliens off their feet.
New York had no chance after that. Some say that it was Gandll who broke up
tho game In the seventh when he poled that long two-bagger between Kauff and
Robertson, sending In two scores. Robby Is accused of playing the ball badly, mis
Judging It and allowing It to fall safe. Davy Is a very fast man and as the ball was
quite high the second guescers figure that ho should have been able to catch It
behind his back. However, from where we wero sitting, tho outfielder had no
chance to get the pill unless he called a taxlcab.
THE game was played In Ideal football weather and In borne respects
resembled the gridiron sport. The White Sox made several drop-kicks
and goals from the field, while fumbles were quite frequent. Herzog and
Fletcher Bhould havo been penalized for holding, but McGraw could not
be accused "f coaching from the side lines.
Today Big Day for Giants
TODAT is the big day for the Giants. If they come through and grab a victory,
the seventh game will be played on the Polo Grounds on Wednesday. The
day intervening will be used to sell tickets to the howling mob if they get up
early enough to attend the sale. But tho White Sox say the series will be over
tonight, nnd appeared quite confident on the special train which carried them
through New York State yesterday. They now know that they can come up from
behind and win and it will take some tall hustling on the part of McGraw's crew
to win the game. At that the Giants seem to havo the edge on paper, as Schupp
and Benton, who held the westerners runless last week, are ready and will be
hurled Into the breach. One of these southpaws will pitch today, but no announce
ment will be made until Just before the game.
Rowlafld has decided to use Claude Williams this afternoon, although he
reserves the right to change ills mind at the last minute. Claude also pitches
With, his other hand, and is regarded as one of the best hurlers on the staff
He has a world of stuff, but seemed to lack the confidence required for a world's
series "entry.
He was baptized under fire dn Saturday and this experience is deemed enough
tor nominate him today. Williams was captured out In Salt Lake City when he
twirled on the same team with Paul Fittery, last year! This year he has won 17
and lost 9 games, which is a pretty good record in the American League. The
players have confidence in him and expect him to come through with the final
vjctory. If flew York wins today Rowland will have his two aces in reserve
, Cicotte and Faber and that palr should make things interesting for the Giants
1
THE Deans congratulated themselves last night when the commuting
between Chicago and New York ended. They have traveled more than
4MK) miles in a week and, after spending so many nights In stuffy berths,
the Deans feel like sardines. But they are accustomed to traveling across
cue-half of the continent, and some of the members say it is difficult to
am to sleep unless they have cinders In their eyes.

WEE WILLIE MEEHAN GETS BACK
INTO LOCAL COLOR BY MEETING
JACK DILLON AT THE OLYMPIA
Fat Fellow From Frisco, Famed for Funny Fight
ing, Framed for Furious Fracas No Cinch
Tonight for Eugene
By LOUIS
WHU WILLIi: MinniAN'. fat, lop-sided,
funny and larruping, will show as much
grace as a three-legged elephant when ho
waddles his way back Intp Miilly's fistic
llmeglare at the Olympla tonight Llko the
Prodigal Son, tho fat boy from .Frisco will
hae a lot of admirers to admire his re
turn. He will be as welcome as Bunshlno
at tho Polo Grounds, New York, today.
The miniature mountain nil the way from
tho coast Is to measure his hefty wallops
with a regular opponent, an opponent who
can fight nnd who Is a set-up for nc aspir
ing boxer who expects more than ono bout
In the same vicinity. In meeting Jack Dil
lon, tho Frisco fat boy will bo pitted
against ono sometimes referred to as the
Giant Killer ono that carries a crusher in
either mitt and one who is not to be trifled
with.
Dillon a Fierce Fighter
Dillon has a serious-looking face when In
tho ring, and he Is serious. He looks as If
he means every punch, and he does. If
Dillon can knock out Mochan with the first
punch out of tho box ho will So the largo
crowd that is to receive their largo and
welcome guest are to seo a regular battle,
rather than a comedy knockabout bout.
Wllllo possesses a lot of circus stuff,
more so naturally. He is so clumsy on his
feet ho Is clover. Llko a baseball pitcher
who can throw with cither arm, Meehan Is
ambidextrous. Ho winds up equally as well
with his right as ho does with his left,
and although Willie doesn't tako aim or
measure his distance with whichever glove
he happens to let loose, tho punch usually
finds a resting place.
Meehan is not to have a pink tea by
any means. While Willie is serving Dil
lon with punches In his clever, clumsy and
clownish way, the Fat Doy will have to bo
on a sharp lookout for Jack's sharp-shooting
Bhots It's not to be a punching party on
the part of only one participant. This Is
ono of those affairs where both contestants
concerned are permitted to whang away,
and whang away as fast and as often ns
they desire; only not more than for eight
een minutes.
Good Test for Meehan
A victory for Meehan remains In his un
believable cleverness to outpoint Dillon. Wll
lie Isn't a light puncher, but he doesn't
carry a clout hard enough to topple tho
Indianapolis Caeman.
This bout will be a good test for Mee
han In so far as competition with first-rate
light heavyweights. When hero on his
first invasion. Wllllo made playthings of a
lot of third and fourth raters. Ills clown
ish antics helped Meehan build a remark
able reputation for himself. But against a
fighter of Dillon's caliber Meehan has a
terrific tussle on.
SOCIETY NOTE: Mrs. Eugene Chris
topher Walcott, of San Francisco,
will be among those present at tho
Olympla tonight. It will be remem
bered that Mrs. Walcott was Miss
Sadye Flood and that Eugene C. Wal
cott, Hsq, Is profeslonally known as
Willie Meehan.
.
Return of the Dusky Flash
UNTIL about two years ago a flash like a
bolt from a clear sky scintillated out
of the northeastern section jf tho city
every once In a while and emblazoned tho
local fistlo horizon. Were it not for the
dusky hue of this particular puglllstlo star.
It might have come to pass that ho would
have found a place In the sun.
Preston Brown, all Philadelphia boxing
fans remember, was as clever a piece of
featherweight fighting machinery as was
ever unearthed here. He went along out
pointing and defeating a lot of well-reputed
boxers, and accomplishing his victories In
clever and sensational form.
Tommy Rellly Is one person who cannot
be convinced that had It not been for
Brown's color tha negro would have had Ihr
same pugilistic ranking as Joe Walcott, Joe
Cans, George Dixon and Jack Johnson.
Johnny Kllbane was offered a bout with
Brown several times during 1914 and 1915,
but the featherweight champion was a strict
believer of the then popular color line.
Last fall Brown didn't thrive so well in
the ring ; whether he had gone back or was
rusty because of lack of competition. Any
way, Billy Fltislmmons, a New York south
paw, dealt out a pair of painful trimmings
to Browrf, and his stock in the fistlo market
went flop.
Brown has been In training for more than
a month. He Is ready to start anew. With
Champion Benny Leonard overstepping the
color line, Pres, no doubt, hopes that Johnny
Kllbane will allow the darky folk a chance
at his title.
a
BROWN, of course, can't expect a
crack at the championship now, but
if he can go along winning as consist
ently as he did two years ago and ehow
the form. BroWn should put himself In
' line as a contender for the feather-
weight title.

that of his manager, Muggsy Taylor, de
spite the fact that Muggs turned down thrco
bouts
yhon Tillman won from Whlto In Phila
delphia there still remained many ekeptical
fans and promoters, ono especially In New
York When Johnny cimo right back and
repeated, this tlmo In ten rounds, even
though ho was knocked down twlco In the
third round, every ono was willing to admt
that Whlto was an outsider.
Then Muggsy Taylor got the tip that n
New York promoter wanted Tillman for a
bout with Ted-Kid Lewis. And It was a
good tip, too. While negotiations for a
TIIIman-Lewls bout wero going on, Taylor
could seo no other bouts, and for that rea
son other offers wero thrown Into tho
basket. Then Lewis upset everything by
turning his none toward tho setting sun and
following It. Now Ted-Kid Is on tho coast,
and If Tillman Is to box the Briton It will
havo to bo for four rounds somewhere In
California.
EDDIE McANDItEWS now wants a
meeting with Tillman. The Mana
yunk boxer, since Joining the colors with
Hilly Kelly, has been going nicely Says
Kell: "Eddlo has a victory over Tillman,
and Eddie is willing to glvo Tillman a
chance to wipe It out."

SPORT
OTOW TO PLAY GOLF?!
When I was caddlo at tho Old Edge
water Cjoir Club ono of my most cher
ished treasures was a Vnrdon flyer. It
wai an old gutta ball and I used It prin
cipally fnr bouncing, for In those days I
did not p:ay a
great deal. As tho
years passed nlong
I think I was able
to collect several
of these balls. The
time was 1901, 1902
and 1903, after
Vordon hnd been
in this country and
won the United
states open cham
pionship nt Whea
ton in 1900. There
wero Vardon clubs,
too, about that
time, but as theso
could not be had
for the finding I
did not have any.
Our own Hdge
water professional,
Harry Turple, had
CHARLES EVANS
once p'ayed a match with Vardon and had
beaten him on ono eighteen holes. So It
happened that from tho very beginning of
my golf playing I acquired a great respect
for the name of Harry Vardon. Little did
I think In those days that I should ever
see him, much less did I dream of playing
with him I held him up as an example,
and always had one of his pictures around.
I can seo him now In the one that used to
occupy n very prominent placo In my room,
nnd that picture taught me moro than any
thing else how to hold my arms at the top
of my back stroke
Vnrdon Grip Popular
Years passed and Harry Vardon won
moro championships. Tho Vardon grip be
came famous and was largely copied, but I
regret to say that I was ono of the few
who did not try to copy It. In 1911 I went
to Britain to play golf, and from the ama
teur championship at Prcstwlck, Scotland.
I went to the rtoyal St. George Golf Club,
at Sandwich, England, to play in the Brit
ish open championship. It -nan there that
I met Vardon, and, strange to say, he
seemed glad to meet me. James Braid was
then tho ho.der of the open championship,
and in the amateur-professional match at
Sandwich Mr. John Ball and I played
against Braid and Massy.
I did not finish bo badly In the open
tournament, but always when out playing
I used to glance across the course and
watch the Vardon strokes. I followed him
on the last five holes and saw that beautl
fu. stroke make par figures look easy. I
also saw the play-off between him and
Massy, who were tied for first place I
watched his putter work, and when I saw
the difficulty he had getting that ball into
i,!0.0!6. , 0ILme1 a sort " "Pathetic
friendship for him.
. , Lery "i110 Iatcr l met Vardon again
In Parts, and wbb overjoyed when he asked
me to play with him at La Boulle, That
was a great occasion for me, and I an
predated with all my heart every event of
that morning's round. I am sure that never
before or since have I obtained so much
valuable information In so short a space of
time. I was amazed to find that contrary
to the custom of other professionals he vol
unteered Information. I shall always be
glad that I played that round with Harrv
Vardon. '
Ono of the things Vardon told me was to
put the left thumb a little to the rhrht.
hand side of tho shaft for all full shots At
that time I was playing my half and quar
ter shots with the finger grip, but with the
thumbs straight down the shaft. For mv
full shots I had the thumbs around the
shaft and was palming tho club. .H6 told
mo this was a big mistake, and that I
ought to use the finger grip for all full
rhots, because no player could pronerlv
placo the ball unless he gripped his club In
the sensltlvo part of his hands. It took ma
the greater part of 19U to accustom mv
Pilf to this new grip, but I cannot ade-
iiumci wiJisaa nuw H1U11 1 am of
the
cnanee. J- uu not, nowever, use elthe
overlapping or Interlocking grip.
r the
An Englishman told me tho other dav
that In the last British open champlonshin
which was played at Prestwlck, Vardon
did not have a single three until the last of
the seventy-two holes, a most unusual han
penlng, especially when one knows that
he won the tilt
I have given a close study to Vardon and
his game because he Is not of the muscular
type of golfer. His Is the rhythmical game
Tho next time that I saw him after our
meeting at La Boulle was when he anil
Itay toured this country and Warren Wood
and I played against them at Itavlsloe I
cannot compliment Vardon enough on tha
grace and beauty of his stroke, and his
sportsmanship, too, for he ,1s a splendid
loBer and a modest winner. I admire the
way In which he can bear up under the
agony of missing a short putt after nlavlnr
two beautiful Bhots near the hole; that Is
a true test. Vardon Is my Ideal golfer and
his game Is what I should like mine to be.
