10 NEW RECORDS MAY COME IN BIG SHOOT FRIDAY-GAUGING WORLD'S WINNERS VETERAN UMPS FOR BIG SERIES O'Loughlin Starts; Drops Out One Season; Others With Records New York, Oct, 2.—The umpires appointed for the world series of 1917 are William J. Klem and Charles Rigler, National League, and Frank O'Loughlin and William G. Evans, American League. All of these have had considerable experi ence as arbiters of play in the world's championship contests. This quartet worked together in 1912 when the Boston Red Sox defeated the Giants in the memorable eight game series and again in 1915 when the Boston Americans won four out of Ave games from the Philadelphia Nationals. Now for the third time they have been chosen to act to gether, calling balls and strikes, making decisions on the bases and watching the foul lines, each in his turn as the series progresses. Klem's first experience in the big baseball feature was in 1908, and since that time only two world's flags have been won without his having been connected with the games in his official capacity. The exceptions were the battles of 1910 and last year. So that the coming series will be the eighth in which he will have j taken an active part O'Loughlin is Veteran O'Loughlin antedates Klem in world series history, as he was one ; of the umpires in the Chicago series : of 1906 when the White Sox beat the Cubs four out of six games. He ! officiated again in the 1909 series i between Pittsburgh and Detroit when 1 the Pittsburgh Nationals shut out the Tigers in the seventh game and won the championship. Then in 1912 and 1915 he was active, and the com- ; ing contest will mark his fifth ap pearance in the world series. Rigler also will officiate for the \ fifth time in a world's series cham- ' pionship struggle, when he steps out j on the diamond at Chicago. In 1910 together with Connolly, O'Day and | Sheridan, he umpired the series be- ] tween the Athletics and Chicago Na- ! tionals. In 1913 he was appointed j for the New York-Philadelphia ! series, while in 1912 and again in j 1915, he and the other three um- ! s>ires who are officiating this year j worked together. Post Assignments • Evans had his initial experience as ; a world series arbiter in 1909, when he worked with Johnstone, Klem and Evans, in the Pittsburgh-Detroit j series. Then again in 1912 and 1915 - he and his partners of this year 1 made up the umpiring staff, which , has been reappointed for a third term.

Collins, Manager Mc ! Oraw, of the Giants, onoe said, was the most wonderful ball player he had ever seen. But Collins has not batted for the White Sox as he did when he played with the Philadelphia | Athletics against the Giants. The batting average of the four players of the Chicago infield is .268, against the batting average of .262 for the infield of the Giants. • GAUGING WINNE WITH PENNANT WHEN TEAMS PLAY BEST New York, Oct. 2.—While the winning of a pennant and the result ant participation in the World Series is based upon the number of games won during the entire season of league play it is as a rule the final weeks of the schedule in which the championships are clinched. At this period of the play the leading teams J of each league are putting forth their j greatest efforts in an attempt to cap- | tu re first place and each day's strug- j gle is fought out to the finish. For j this reason it has frequently been j said that the true speed of a team j in a world series can be gauged from the power of its play near the point where the pennant was mathematic ally won. Based upon this assumption an analysis of the work of the Chicago Amer'cans and the New York Na tionals in the closing weeks of the present season should afford a somewhat general outline of the form which may be expected of these two clubs when they meet in the world's series of 1917. On the first day of September the Chicago White Sox were leading in the Ameri ican League by 4 1 2 games over the Boston Bed Sox while the New York Nationals led the Phillies, in the senior league by nine games. Played Their Best Gaines In neither case was the lead so great that the runner-up club did not have a chance to overtake and pass the pace setters. Under the cir cumstances the New York and Chi cago teams were forced to play their best game and despite an occasional defeat the records show that they traveled at high speed up to the very moment that the flag was won be yond peradventure. During the first twenty days of September the New York Nationals played twenty-three games of which they won sixteen and lost seven, showing a winning overage of .696 for that period. In the same number of days the Chicago White Sox play ed fifteen games of which they won all but three for an average of .800. In these fifteen games the Chicago players accumulated a total of eighty-two runs to their opponents' COMMISSION FOR INDOOR GAME Basketball Managers to Take: Up Question at Meet ing Sunday Philadelphia, Oct. 2.—Prominent j bssketballers who are interested in the. Eastern Interstate Intercounty and Fenn-State Leagues are to meet in this city next Sunday at the Hotel Adelphia for the purpose of forming a National Basketball Commission on similar grounds as that which now prevails in baseball. Other attempts were made to form ulate such a body but it never result ed in a tangible organization. Condi tions are now practically ripe for such a body, for more professional leagues are in the field, the game has trade big strides in popularity and the salaries of the players have treb led since the last National Commis sion was suggested. After Contract Jumpers The principal purpose of the body is to restrict players from jumping from one league to another. This prac tice became so violent last year that some of the players were working in three leagues under different alias. Should the four leagues form the commission it will stop this practice and compel the players to stick to the club they have first signed with. An attempt will also be made to adopt a uniform set of playing rules and should the commission really be formed it will probably mean that a world's series elimination series be tween the champions of each league will be staged next spring after each league completes its regular schedule of games. SAWYER LANCASTER STAR Lancaster, Pa.. Oct. 2.—Lancaster High had its first real tryout against Columbia High, and it gave Jake Welles the opportunity to correct a number of rough edges that develop- 1 ed in the week's practice. Newswang- ; er and Jacobs are the leading candi- ' dat>>R for the quarter position and it ' may take another game to reach a de- ■ cision. Jacobs was quarterback last season. Sawyer Is showing up nicely at fullback and will likely hold the | position. fifty-four or an average of close to live and a half runs per game. The Giants aggregated eighty runs in twenty-three games for an aver age of three and a half runs per con test, while their opponents collected fifty-six. If the opposing strength were equal in all games, which was not the case however, it might be as sumed that the White Sox attack was stronger than that of the Giants while the latter's defense was hard er to break through. The fact that these clubs did not, of course, face the same opponents, must not be overlooked. Pitchers' Ability Much stress has been laid upon the respective ability of the pitehers of the clubs and the part that these twirlers will play in the winning of the world series. For this reason a comparision of their box records during the period under considera tion may be helpful to the follow ers of the game. The Giants have used Sallee, Perritt, Schupp, Tesreau and Benton for an average of 34 3-5 innings each in the twenty-day per iod while Demaree and Anderson worked an average of 17% each. For the White Sox, Cicotte, Wil liams and Faber have borne the brunt of the pitching, having aver aged forty innings. Danforth and Russell between them pitched twen ty innings, an average of ten innings. The work of the pitchers of both teams showing innings pitched, hits allowed and earned runs scored off their delivery follows: CHICAGO In. P. H. E. R.

Ridgely, Md., contrary to the or dtrs of Manager McGraw. The Giants pulled into town shortly after 9 o'clock last night and Herzog joined the squad about an hour later. McGraw went over to New York and was not on hand to receive his re turned star, but the rest of the team joyfully welcomed him. He declared he was in much better condition than when he was forced to leave the team and that he was on hand to play to day as a warmrup practice for the big series. "I've got the old zip back," he said. "I've got to have that to play my game and my idea in going home was to get rest that was necessary to re store that pepper. I wasn't thinking only of myself, but of the New York Club, and I'm on hand to play October 2, just as I said I would be. I haven't seen McGraw, but there won't be any trouble. I have no grievance against the New York Club, and if there's any grievance it's on their part. I'm here and ready to play, and the club will get the best I've got in the big series. I think McGraw wants me in there as much as I want to get in. "My baek feels fine, and I'm in great shape. I think I'm ready to play the game of my life." Other excitement in the Giants' camp last night was a boil on Benny Kauff's leg. A physician was summon ed with a pair of seven-inch shears and speedily exterminated the annoy ing appendage. Commission to Buy Bonds With Profits Cincinnati, Oct. 2.—Chairman Au gust Herrmann, of the National Base ball Commission, announced that he would recommend to his colleagues at their meeting in Chicago on Fri day next,, that the moneys received by the National Commission, the in terested club and the players during the. world's series, excepting such sums as may be necessary for expen ses. be invested by the respective parties in the second issue of Liberty Bonds. Guy Emerson, secretary of the pub licity committee of New York City, when notified of this plan stated that "the plan to invest the world's series gate receipts in Liberty Bonds is a patriotic plan which . will appeal strongly to the millions interested in baseball. If this were done it would be a real service to the Liberty Loan. Tendler Winner in Battle With Dundee Philadelphia, Oct. 2.—Lew Tendler, a Philadelphia newsboy, leaped into national fame last night at the Olym pla by earning a clear-cut victory over Johnny Dundee, the great Italian lightweight. Both weighed in at 130 pounds, but Tendler had an advan tage of height and reach. He is a southpaw and that, coupled with an awkward style, puzzled Dundee. In fact the latter tried to reach the elu sive newsboy with a right hand swing, first for the jaw and then for the body. More than 60 per cent, of these blows missed. These were sent out so wild that they swished over Ttndler's head. All the wltile the newsboy was jab bing and uppercutting his way to vic tory. At the end of six rounds 5,200 fans stood up and cheered the vic tor. Lively Bouts Feature First Lancaster Bill Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 2.—The opening show here last night was attended by a large crowd, who enjoyed some ex cellent bouts. The windup between Johnny Wolgast, brother of the form er lightweigth chamion. Ad Wolgast, and Jack Brady, who substituted for Joe Ptefanik, ended in the second round, when Referee Leo Houck stopped the contest to save Brady, who was merely a punching bag. Tim Droney won from Lew Stinger, who took Fighting Bob's place, in six hard rounds. Bill lvoenig defeated Joe Hecker. Johnny Williams stopped Kid Burns in the first session and Charley AVright and Bill Brown, local colored boys, opened the show, with the hon ors going to the former. Copyright, 1917.

In the five world i' ® during that epoch the National League won four and lost but | won eighteen and loisf S<?rieS P ' ayed the Xational Loa * ue th ° year C ° nnle MaCk National Vear Started the rlse ot the -American League and the fall of the Since 1910 seven world series have been played. Of these seven the! American League has won six and lost one. Of the thirty-seven cham- I pionship games played the American League has won twentv-four and ! lost thirteen. Note the shift For the first five years the National League had a world series percentage of .800, the American League .200. For the last seven years the National League has had a mark of .143 the American League .857. AMERICAN LEAGUE OX TOP The American League has beyond any doubt had superior strength in the last seven years. It has not only won most of the world series games, but has had most of the game's stars in Cobb, Speaker. Sisler, Collins, Schalk, Chapman, etc. But for 1917 the National League has sent forward the most powerful entry it has known for many years. The Giants are far stronger than the winning Giants of 1911, 1912 and 1913. They are far better balanced than the Phillies of 1915 or the Dodgers of 1916. I It is the first time in seven years that a majority of the critics have given the National League an even chance to win". McGraw has been aiming at this series for a long time. In building and buying his present machine he had something more in sight than a ! National League pennant. He also had in view a victorious world series after his three successive , setbacks up through 1913. It has taken him four years to rearrange his. present outlay. THE BARRIER Yet the White Sox barrier is no light one. This'club is the first Amer-! ican League machine in some years to win a pennant by a decisive margin. As strong as the Red Sox were, they won by only three games in 1915 and by only two games a year ago. The White Sox have been eight or ten games out in front for the great er part of a month. They have gone to battle with a strong defense and a robust attack, and have displayed unusual gamencss on more than one occasion where | t.hey were collared and yanked back from the top. The White Sox are not likely to have the defensive steadiness shown by the Red Sox in 1915 and 1916. But neither are the Giants. The Red Sox were a peculiarly effective world series club. ONE MORE TRIAL With the Giants, an aggressive, confident, hard-charging outfit, to carry on the banner, the National League has its best chance in some time ; to emerge from the rut. But even with as strong a club as the Giants now have, the National j League has no advantage to speak of. For the American League has developed the habit of victory. It has ' gathered a big impetus the last few years, and this impetus will help. And in the Chicago club the American League has a worthy repre- i sentative. The White Sox have both speed and power. They can hit, they have good pitching, and, as most of them are veterans, they are not likely to blow. TIIE LONG COUNT Taking in the full count, the two leagues have been well matched. Of the twelve world series, the American League has won seven to the Na tional's live. , , . , T Of the sixty-four ball games fought to a decision, the American League has won thirty-three and the National thirty-one. The record couldn't run any closer without bcins a draw. But the fan public remembers only the later years. It remembers only that the Natioifel League has won but one series since 1909, and 1909 in a baseball way was another era- If the Giants are beaten it will be taken pretty well for granted that the National League hasn't the stuff with which to stop Its younger rival. *?or the Giants look to be one of the best balanced and one of the strongest machines the older circuit has ever sent to war. Baseball .Fans Sore; Unable to Get Tickets Chicago, Oct. 2— Vigorous protests from scores of Chicagoans were re ceived yesterday at the Chicago American League Park when the first batch of unfilled applications for world series seats were returned to their senders. Letters stating the ap plicants had been among the first to send their requests for seats came in by the hundreds. Besentment was ex pressed by many because the first ap plications filled had been from those which reached the park by special de livery, while those coming through i the ordinary mail were unfilled until I later. On one day, it was announced, :;,000 special delivery requests were handled. The games in this city will i start at 2 o'clock, it was announced. A resolution directing the police to | co-operate with park officials to pre- i vtnt scalping of tickets was adopted ! by the City Council yesterday. The j police were directed to prohibit the sale of tickets in streets or alleys and j to aid in excluding all purchasers of j tickets from scalper* from the parks. .

Knox was one of the keenest scouts ir. the game and was assigned 'to ' "cover" Princeton particularly. Kach j week he was wont to Journey down j to Tigertown and when the game be i gan he was always to he found in the j sameseat in the grandstand. His flg [ ure became so familiar that one day I a Princeton professor went up to him i and shaking hands said: I "You are the most devoted alumnus i I have ever seen. Your loyalty to the ! team amazes me." What Knox said has not been re j corded. Ol.l) COl'l'Elt KETTI.E Motin ny. i'■..
