WEDNESDAY EVENING,
GraJjtian&J&ce
CopyrteM. 1317. nut Tribune Association Tarfc XrttraneV
CONUNDRUM
One wears Sox of burnished Red
And one wears Sox of White;
Which pair will finish out ahead
And cop the pennant fight?
Which pair will shoot Its well known, science
Against the also well known Giants?
—Songs of Rooters' Row.
Col. Hugh S. Fullerton. the well-known salmon impresario and agile
guardian of the Grandoldope, evinces the opinion that the White Sox wiU
romp home tidily in the American League pennant race.
"The White Sox ought to win," says Hughey, "by a fair margin."
A world series between the White Sox and the Giants would carry a
more spectacular effect for two reasons—
1. There would come the ancient rivalry between New York and
Chicago—the metropolis of the East against the metropolis of the West.
2. There would be an intersectional world series for the first time in
seven years—since Cubs and Mackmen clashed in 1910. But, for all that,
we disagree with Hughey's analysis that the White Sox should predominate
over their rivals in Red hose.
W HITE VS. RED
The White Sox have a first class ball club. They have proved that by
sticking closely around the peak all year.
But to say theyshave a stouter machine than the Red Sox is another
matter. Schalk, back of the bat, is a better man than Thomas, Agnew or
Cady. The White Sox have the edge here.
In the box we'd considerably rather have Ruth, Leonard, Shore and
Mays than Cicotte, Williams, Faber, Russell and Benz.
The Red Sox staff for three years has proved to be one of the most
effective collection? of the decade—especially down the stretch.
At first Hoblitaell and Gainer makg a stronger combination than Gandil
can offer. Hobby is not only a wise bail player, but he is also a dangerous
citizen at bat when a blow may produce a run or a rally.
At sec<lid Eddie Collins figures over Jack Barry, but to no remarkable
degree. Ii Eddie was batting up around his old mark of .330 or .340 it
would be another matter. But Eddie batting under .280 has only a faint
edge on the alert, resourceful Barry.
There is no argument between Evertt Scott and Risberg at short. Scott
is one of the great shortstops of the game and an experienced campaigner,
at his best under heavy fire.
Buck Weaver and Larry Gardner make a great pair at third. Both are
among the best. Weaver has had a trifle the better upon attack this year,
but Gardner is a bit steadier at third and a dangerous hitter.
In the outfield Jackson. Felsch and Leibold figure, on figures, above
Lewis, Hooper and Walker. But Jackson is 60 or more points below his
normal batting stride, whle Lewis and Hooper are two of the great out
fielders of the game, of far greater value than the figures show.
THE STRETCH AHEAD
Here is still another factor. The Red Sox for three years have shown
themselves to be the best campaigners down the stretch that baseball has
known for a decade.
They have the tradition of victory back of them. They have proved
their ability to lose stars at critical moments and still keep plunging
forward, filling the open, gaps with indomitable spirit.
The White Sox have set a fast pace all year, but the Red Sox have re
fused to be shaken loose. On two hard Western trips they have held
their own—being equally alert on the road and at home.
They are a hard club to beat for the simple reason that one has to beat
a good pitcher at every start. And when the pitching falters the club is
likely to come through with five or six runs and win anyway.
There isn't a finer defensive club in baseball to-day. In fact, there is
no other club as defensively strong. And with the defense they have a
husky attack when the occasion calls for th_ same.
A STEADIER CLUB
The Red Sox, in addition, do not toss away as many games as the White
Sox. The latter club has kicked away many a battle this season which it
should have won. It lacks the sureness of its rivals, who are rarely in
clined to boot away a tidy lead.
In 1915 and 1916 the Red Sox were much better after August than their
Chicago rivals. On.ce they get within sight of the stretch and the wire and
their pitchers begin to unfold they have met nothing yet to hold them back.
Both times they cut their way safely hrough the American League, beating
Chicago and Detroit almost at will, and their world series record is eight
victories against two defeats.
The White Sox may be due this season and they may win. Their victory
would undoubtedly add spice to the next world series. Going to Boston for
a post-season affair lacks the variety which is said to be the spice of life.
Boston has been holding world series events for the bulk of the last four
years. But despite this the odds still belong to Boston until she is outpaced
through August and September—a performance which is no easy-going,
gentle affair.

JOttNNY
QENISY LtCNARa '
Philadelphia, July 25. Johnny
Kilbane has placed himself on record
that to-night he will do his level best
to knock Benny Leonard out when
they meet in the ring at Shibe Park.
For two or three days there have
been rumors claimed to have been
circulated by rival promoters to the
effect that the Leonard-Kilbane
match was to be merely a dress re
hearsal sort of affair staged with the
idea of having the boxers get some
soft money in this city and to ad
vertise a longer bout in New York
or Cleveland. These rumors reached
City Hall yesterday afternoon and
were brought to the attention of Su
perintendent of Police Robinson, who
announced at once that as far as the
Police Department was concerned
the rights of the sporting public of
Philadelphia would be protected.
TREE LICENSES
NOW PROVIDED
State's New System Will Pre
vent Frauds Upon Farm
ers in Opinion of Hill
The new nursery Inspection law
recently signed by the Governor will
enable the Department of Agricul
ture, through the economic zoologist,
to co-operate with the fruit growers
in eliminating undesirable nursery
stock from the state of Pennsylvania.
Under this law all persons, Including
nursery dealers or agents, soliciting
for the sale of nursery stock in the
state must secure and carry with
them an official license issued at the
Capitol. Penalties for noncompli
ance with this regulation are pro
vided and wilful misrepresentation of
nursery stock offered for sale Is a
misdemeanor.
The Agricultural Department bul
letin says of It:
"Many of the irresponsible nurs
ery agents who have worked in
Pennsylvania during the past years
must now secure a license or go out
of business. Many fraudulent sales
of nursery stock by various schemes
have been promoted in the past.
Citizens of the state should avail
themselves of this law and report
any suspicious actions on the part of
nursery agents to the economic
zoologist, Harrisburg." ,
The bulletin also says:
"In past years many materials for
the spraying of trees and the control
of insects and fungus diseases have
been placed on the piarket, either so
diluted or mixed with useless ma
terials that their value has been
questionable.
"Plaster of parls 'has been mixed
with paris green to a considerable
extent, and other mixtures accord
ingly. In many cases exceptional
and impossible claims have been
made by manufacturers of pro
prietary spray materials. Much
money and time has been lost to
fruit growers and farmers through
these fraudulent practices.
"Under the new insecticide and
fungicide law, recently signed by the
Governor, the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture, through the
economic zoologist, will Inspect these
materials placed on the market for
sale. This law requires certain
standards of purity in paris green,
arsenate of lead, llnle-sulfur and
other similar materials. Excessive
or fraudulent claims as to the value
of these materials will also be cur
tailed and labels must be printed In
accordance with facts." 1
Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator. —ad
Jimmy Dougherty, of Leipervillo,
promoter of the fight, said:
Stop light
"I would be the first to stop the
bout if I thought the boys were stall
ing. But lam certain you couldn't
get Kilbane to do such a trick, and I
am almost as sure Leonard would not
stoop to it, either.
"But if they should try to put one
over, they will be pitched out of the
ring and the public's money will be
returned at once. I pldge myself to
see to that."
When Benny Leonard was inform
ed in New York of the rumors re
garding the bout here going to be a
fake, he authorized the following
statement:
"I know that Kilbane is the kind
of a boxer who likes to stand off; he
does not like to try boring in tactics.
I Intend to carry the fight to him
from the first bell. I will try to out
point, outfight and finish him If pos
sible before the scheduled six rounds
pass. I cannot understand where or
how a report originated. There will
be no need of police interference on
the fake proposition."
At a meeting of those interested
in the coming Kilbane-Leonard bout,
held at the Hotel Vendig last night,
many oi the 'details of the contest
were arranged. The question as to
who was to referee has been inter
esting the fight fans for the past ten
days. Last night this question was
settled by the selection of Frank
O'Brien, referee of Olympia. The
question of a referee was arranged
by the placing of the names of W. H.
Rocap, Jack McGuigan, H. C. Crow
hurst and Frank O'Brien in a hat.
When the little pellet bearing the
name of O'Brien was drawn he was
awarded the position of referee.

I. W. W. Holds Back Great
Airplane Program By
Tying Up Lumber Mills
Washington, D. C.. July 25.—The
Industrial Workers of the World,
operating in the great spruce forests
of the Northwest, have blocked the
great $6 10,000,000 aviation program
of the United States and its allies.
The signature of the President, which
was attached to the aviation bill, is
thus practically nullified by traitors.
This announcement was made by
Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the
aircraft production board of the
Council of National Defense.
"Not a wheel is turning in the
spruce sawmills and not a foot of
spruce in the forests from which we
were to get our supply is being cut,"
said Mr. Coffin.
He leaned forward earnestly and
struck his desk savagely:
"We cannot make public the name
of a single factory where our stand
ardized battleplanes or our airplane
engines will be turned out, because
if we do the I. W. W. will go into
that plant and tie it up. That or
ganization is the greatest handicap
to our whole air program now that
we have got It safely through Con
gress."
Girls Asked to Stop
Kissing U. S. Soldiers
Hammonton, N. J., July 25.—Miss
Grace R. Osgood, ( daughter of Free
holder Cyrus F. Osgood, and recently
appointed chairman of Hammonton
unit of the Women's Council of the
National Committee of Defense, has
written a protest against women of
fering to kiss recruits, urging that
such action militates against the up
holding of the respect of woman
hood. one of the chief characteristics
of a civilized nation.
"On the surface," she writes, "it
looks too silly to take seriously, so
every one laughs. But for all that
the suggestion is bad. American
girls are brought up to think that
promiscuous kissing is indecent. But
now. Just because some of them ari>
soldiers, it suddenly becomes proper
—whatever a soldier does is right."
