THE 50-50 SERIES In the big majority of World Series offered in the past, there have al ways been pretty definite ideas advanced as to which club would win. The Non-Combatant, by moving out into the highways and the by ways, had no great trouble in collecting tho popular verdict. This im pending series has been a different affair. Xo one recalls a series in the j past where the two contenders looked to be so evenly matched. \Vo j picked out four major league ball players wlio are close observers, and j who, in the past, have nearly always been on the right side. On this occasion none of the four could gee any advantage either way. "Fifty-Fifty" was the combined verdict. "The break of the gamo alone lean decide the answer." THE LINE OF STRENGTH Chicago's best chance runs along the Line of Strength that carries I four pickets. It starts with Schalk and ends at Felsch. The order is Schalk, Cl ! cotte, Collins and Felsch. j This line runs through the center of the White Sox machine, and I the bulwark of the White Sox defence, and one of the main factors In i attack. , These four men are all stars of ttho first order. More than a few neu -1 tral observers believe that Cicotte and Schalk will prove to be the great I battery of the series; the best of the lot. And still more believe that Collins and Felsch will be the respective infield and outfield stars of the engagement. They figure Collins the best infielder on either job—and Felsch the ! "best outfielder. The general verdict seems to be that Felsch, as a defensive outfielder, ranks next to Speaker in the Go-Get-'em circuit. And Felsch can hit. COLLINS "As far as you can figure anything in baseball," comments Manager Rowland, "Collins is almost sure to be at his best —and one of the big ataj-s of the aeries." "Colling is a great ball player at all times. But through the season he |is inclined to keep his strength in reserve. lie isn't physically powerful I enqugh to hold a dashing pace all the year. If he tried to he would soon Ibe worn to a whisper. But in a five, six or seven-game meeting he can let himself go and move at top speed. And when lie does he can. carry a whole ball club with him." "Eddie lias already been in four World Series. He played great de- I fensive ball in all four. And only one of the four did he slip back at bat. < A championship series where he can afford to" give everything he has is the place that finds him at his best. I know Collins has been below .300 | this year, but I'll be badly jolted if he doesn't reach .300 in the cham pionship." "There are a few World Series types that are pretty close to certain ties. Baker was one. So was Duffy Lewis. So was Harry Hooper. So is Herzog. But I don't believe any of them reach their best form in as many different branches as Collins does —at the bat, in the field and I around the bases." ' A SERIES CLUB Manager Rowland had another point to offer for the earnest consld | oration of those fanatics who esteem the dope. "The Sox," he said, "are one of the best short series clubs I ever saw. Soma clubs are at their best over a long stretch, but not so good in, a short flash- The Sox have stamina, but they can also sprint. Last fall, to'the city championship, I never saw a ball club change quicker. They | vent to that series with a smash. A few of the men may get careless I over the pennant schedule, but when it comes to a shorter affair they all | swing in with everything they have. This last season we were able tq win almost every important series that we needed. Figuring in all these I detaita, I believe the Sox will be one of the best looking machines for the nex* *ew days that ever bagged a championship." Lebanon to Meet Tech; Tell Hard Luck Story Lebanon, Oct. 4.—Football makes its debut locally on Saturday when the strom* Technical High school eleven, of Harrisburg. will contend with the Lebanon High school pig skin warriors for honors. It will be Lebanon team's Initial appearance on home grounds and, according to Coach Stubby Wilder, this year's squad has promise of be ins one of the best In recent years. In Tech, however, Lebanon has a very hnrd proposition to face, this being considered one of the premier scholastic elevens in the state and also one of the heaviest. It la very probablo that Lebanon will be outweighed in Saturday's opener, but whfit she lacks in weight she promises to make up in speed and stamina. The same line-up that appeared against Lebanon Valley College scrubs at Annvllle Saturday will doubtless start in the Tech cqntest.

In the han dling of delivery and signals, close plays at the plate, throws to cut down base ."tenlers and In backing up first and third in throws from the outfield, the catcher is both a busy and Im portant factor in the contest. A sharp eye, steady judgment, a powerful throwing arm and cool cour age are necessary requisites for the player who dons the mask and wind pad in the most Important of all base ball games, it is fortunate that both the Chicago Americans and the New lork Nationals are equipped with catchers of this caliber for the series of 1917, which begins in Chicago next Saturday. While the Giants have a slight advantage In quantity in this department of the game, the White Sox are generally conceded to have an edge in the quality of the receiv ing staff. Chicago Backstops , The Chicago catchers include Ray Schalk, Byrd Lynn and Joseph Jen kins, whilo the New York quartet consists of George McCarty, William the others. Rariden has done the Blow. As both Jenkins and Onslow are comparative newcomers, they are not likely to figure in the scries to any extent, and their chance of see ing service is extremely remote. Schalk is expected to bear the catch ing burden of the White Sox in every game of the series unless he should be incapitatcd by accident or illness. He has caught in more than seventy five per cent, of the season's games while Lynn has acted as receiver in In this respect the New York team is greater amount of the backstopping for the Giants this year, due In part to the fact that McCarty broke his leg early In the season and was out of the game for several months. Gib son, the formor Pittsburgh receiver, is the third-string catchi-r for New York. If McCarty can stand the strain of the game, and it is the impression among the New York players that he will bo physically fit for the fray, ho STARS IN WORLD'S WHO EXPECT THEIR BAS BY W. R. HOFFER J. C. BENTON (New York Giants.) Rube Benton is one Giant who is to get a lot of southern Democratic votes. If the Rube starts a game, tho ballyard bugs of Macon, Ga., will wager their shekels and family plate on tho Giants. Rube started his pro fessional career down there seven years ago and the fans will never forget this slightly knock-kneed southerner and tho brilliant stuff he spilled that year. Benton hadn't pitched profes sional ball three months before the big league scouts were after him. Cincinnati bought him June 8 for $3,500 and the tip went around the circuits that the Reds had acquired a 20-year old southpaw kid who was a world beater. They sent Rube back to Chat tanooga in the Southern Lea gue the following year and it was largely his own fault. There never has been anything wrong with Benton's pitching equip ment. Ho can be about as great a pitcher as he makes up his mind to be. Up to this year he had been inclined to be careless and erratic byt under McGraw his attitude towards the game has improved and this season ho has done remarkable work at times. Hal Chase calls Benton one of the most gifted hurlers in the game. The Rube has a beauti ful, fast curve and wonderful speed and on his good daya is almost unhittable. He hasWt the judgment of Sallee, and isn't as crafty in working on a batter but he has more speed and is nervy and cool in the pinches. His greatest fault, perhaps, is a tendency to carelessness and an inclination to be erratic, but if the Sox catch him on one of his good days he's liable to turn in a pitching masterpiece. Benton is a lot huskier than his weight indicates. Five feet 11 inches tall, he woighs about 174 pounds, but has a great pair of shoulders and can work a full game at top speed is necessary. The eight years of Rube's bis league experience have been spent with just two clubs, Cin cinnati and New York. His win ning record with the Reds isn't impressive but his performance with the Giants last year and this, is. Last season he pitched 239 inninps, struck out 115 men, and yielded only 58 passes, win ning 1 r> nnd losing S camps. This year he has won 14 and lost 8 names and given only 33 bases on balls. TTie Rube, who is 27 training Reasons old, was born In Clin ton, N. C„ and received his first real diamond tryout down in Lakeland, Fla., as a semipro. Benton and "Williams are alike In several rcspeets. Both arc natural ly brilliant left banders and Williams, like Benton, is touted by the players as having lots of sand. The latter is only a year older than Wil liams but is a great deal more ex perienced. Not much to choose be tween them on this year's work.

World's Series Here Starts Saturday Afternoon Next to being at the world's series games is to see them on the electric scoreboard operated by Lew Bitter, the well-known backstop. Starting Saturday, every play made in the game at Chicago will be instantly re produced on the large and electrically equipped diamond that shows every ball or striko delivered by the pitcher and every conceivable play Incident to the game. Putouts. assists, double plays, runs, hits, passed balls, wild pitches, errors, bases on balls, every thing is strikingly reproduced as iv direct wire runs from the South Side Park. Chicago, Into the auditorium, which makes it possible to duplicate will undoubtedly have first call upon the position. This will bring him Into action against Schalk. Tho lat ter is unquestionably ono of tho best catchers of the day. He knows the weaknesses of the various batters and, as he can handle the delivery of any and all the Chicago twirlers, he will be able to signal for any form of curve or break that he may think puzzling to the man at the plate. - Ka*t and Accurute The outstanding feature of his play, however, is his fast und accurate throwing to the bases. He uiust bo a speedy sprinter and perfect slider who would pit his skill against Schalk with any degree of success. McCarty Is not so brilliant in this feature of the catcher's art but he is an excellent director of the work of the hurlers and is a far stronger bat ter than Schalk. According to the season averages, there is little choice in tho fielding work of the two catch ers, but the White Sox backstop Is much faster on the base lines than McCarty, as the latter's accident is likely to prevent him from taking chances at base stealing except in an emergency. An injury to Schalk during the early stages of the coming series wculd work havoc with the Chicago club, for while Lynn is an ambitious player, he lacks the experience and all-around ability of his principal. In this respect the New York team is in a better position to face such a disaster for either Radisen or Gib son, owing to their greater experi ence, can step into McCarty's place with less disconcerting effect upon the team play than would be the case were it necessary to substitute Lynn for Schalk. This can be seen from a comparison of the following records which include the batting and fielding averages, stolen bases and double plays of the five catchers who may participate in the_ series: NEW YORK NATIONALS Bat.

Schalk 133 .226 .982 15 11 Lynn 26 .212 .989 1 i Jenkins .... CLAUDE F. WILLIAMS (Chicago White Sox.) Whether "Lefty" Williams climbs the slab to start a series game for the Sox will depend a good deal on circumstances af ter the big mix starts. There is one White Sox player, however, who would love to see Claude get his chance. This player is Joe Jackson, the slugging fielder. Early last sea son Jackson tipped Williams off to several writers as a brilliant young portside pitcher who shakes an awfully mean flipper. Donie Bush, of the Tigers, has also touted this twirler as one with a great natural pitching equipment. Williams had to horn his way into the major leagues three times before he became a fixture. After winning 18 games in the Appalachian League for Morris town, Brooklyn got him, gave him a short once-over and re leased him March 2, to Nash ville. This was in 1913. Claude won 18 games for Nashville and looked so good that Hughey Jen nings acquired him, but releas ed him to Sacramento. He had a poor season with the latter club, but in 1915, with Salt Lake City, this bird won 33 starts and dropped only 12 games, for a winning percentag of .738. He pitched 418 innings in the Paci fic Coast League, which has a long season, working in 64 games and striking out £94 batters. It was this performance which attracted the White Sox's atten tion and earned Williams his third big league trial. Last year he won 13 and lost 8 games for Rowland and has won 17 and lost 8, games this season, accord ing to recent averages. Claude has a good curve, with a fast, sharp break, that is ex tremely hard to hit when he has it working right and his fast one also is good. He hasn't the ■■experience that makes Cicotte so hard to beat and he isn't as cagey a pitcher. A glance at the season's work of tho Sox twirlers discloses the fact that Williams is really a greatly gift ed pitcher, with lots of natural ability but that he lacks the steadiness of Cicotte, and hasn't as good control. Five feet 10 inches tall and weighing 169 pounds, Williams is wiry and sinewy. He fields his position acceptably and isn't es pecially bothered in fielding bunts. Springfield, Mo., is the birth place of Williams. He is 26 years old and has been playing profes sional baseball seven years, re ceiving his first professional contract from his home town club in the Kansas-Missouri League, and playing in six differ ent leagues, from coast to coast before he landed with Chicago, the plays in the baseball classic al most as soon as possible. With the line-ups of the two teams It Is possible to follow the work of each one whether at bat or in the field, as the scoreboard enables the onlooker to keep track of the game from the time the umpire calls "Play ball!" until the last man is out. Saturday's game is scheduled to start at 2 o'clock (Western time), which means 3 o'clock in Harrlsburg, at the Chestnut Street Auditorium. TABERSKI TITIJK WINNER By Associated Press Buffalo. N. Y„ Oct. 4.—Frank Ta lierski, of Schenectady, pocket bil liard champion. defeated Joseph Concannon, of Now York, challenger for the title, 450 to 592, in a three block series of games which ended this morning. Taberski overcame last night a big lead which Concan non ha,d piled up in the two nights' play. Ho pocketed 27 7 balls to Con cannon's 92 In the night's play. OESCHGER LOSES SEASON'S BONUS Giants Cleanup in Final Games; Take Fast Train to Chicago . Philadelphia, Oct. 4.—G.etaway day tor the Phils yesterday resulted in n double triumph for the cham pion Giants and a loss or 5500 bonus for Joe Oeschger. The Phils dropped the final games of the local National League campaign gracefully and without a murmur of protest, by 11 to , °* and in thp latter affair I Joe lost a chance to pick up r.OO extra bones from the club treasury. When Joe signed up last spring there was a clause in serted In his-contract that he would get a bonus of SSOO if ho won fif teen games. He had fourteen whon he went to work in the second game against the Giants, and as McGraw, to be obliging, sent in his second string players it looked as if Joe would easily earn the half thousand. But it was just here that Oeschger was given one of the hardest jobs of his baseball career. Tho young Giants nicked him foi ls hits and 22 bases, and as the Phils could not local Anderson, Tes reau and Kclley, the latter more of an outfielder than pitcher, Oeschger did not get a bit of encouragement frim his pals and had to kiss the SSOO good-by. Tho games were the usual windup parody of a fading season. The Phils did not seem to care what happened, and the Giants worked as if the sooner the twin bill was o%'er the better it would be for tho 3,000 faith ful fans who turned out to bid adieu to the 1917 N. L. campaign. In the first game the Giants en joyed themselves immensely, for they thumped Lavender and Fitterv all over the park, getting 19 hits for 2 9 bases, many of these being due to the Phils' lax methods in chasing the sphere. Hits were easy to make and whenever a Giant wanted to make an extra base on his drive all he had to do was to stretch his legs a bit and he had a double to his creelit. It was good practice for the Giants, and McGraw seemingly appreciated it by sending In liis see onel string coterie against Oeschger in the second battle, but as the New York recruits were just as anxious to win as was California Joe. Mc- Graw's filial .ittle act of friendship did not bear/ruit. In the opening tiff Ferdie Schupp labored for tho first four innings, keeping the Phils from making a hit. He consldereel this enough warmup for the day. and retired in favor of George Smith, the former Columbia I'niversity boy, who toiled the last five stanzas. Smith was located for 7 blows in this time and one run. The feature of tho climax act was the lusty hitting of three of Mc- Graw's recruits. Ross Young, late of Rochester, leaned on Oescliger's fast ones for a double and two triples; Eaird, the young shortstopper, punched out four singles, and On slow. the Providence catcher, treat ed himself to a double and single from two times up. Between them this trio of bonus destroyers account ed for 5 of the Giants' 6 runs. Adams and Paskert were the only Phils who could club intelligently,. Adams get ting two doubles and a single, and Paskert a single and two-bagger. Following the games tho Giants ate IS*© * "life Got z^-2IP!

HALT SCALPERS FOR FIRST GAME Reserved Seats Distributed Today; Hard Practice Ahead For Chicago By Associated Press Chicago, Oct. 4.—Most of the 17,- 000 reserved seats for the world's series game at White Sox park were distributed to-day to those who had been awarded tickets or notified two days ago to apply to-day and get their admission cards. A record of each ticket solil has been kept and with this the club oltlcials hope to stamp out ticket scalping. Speculators who up to to-day havo been advertising that they would have plenty of tickets, appeared to have lost some of their confidence and refused to guarantee tickets lor any of the games here. They still contend, however, that they will have "some tickets," but admit that the supply will not equal the demand. Hard l'racMoo Ahead The White Sox, alter a day of idle ness yesterday on account of rain, are booked for two days of stiff prac tice. Manager Rowland said that he would not send the team to Weegh inan Park to see the Chicago and New York Nationals play to-day, as he considered practice more essential than any lines they might get on their opponents from seeing them Play. Eddie Collins, Eddie Cicotte and Kid Gleason, who saw the Giant* play Tuesday in Philadelphia gave the White Sox the benefit of their observations yesterday in a Ion" talk. The New York Nationals are ditn here early this afternoon from th.i East, and according to the program they are to go direct from the sta tion to Weeghman Park for a prac tice game with the Chicago NaJ tionals. ~
