Great Struggles
Cubs Meet the
World's
.--.-.-.-O0 O
By TOMMY CLARK.
PRACTICALLY every manager,
player, writer In fact, every
mnn who knows or lmnglncs
be knows nnythtng nbout the
national gnme lins picked a winner
In the world's series, which Is to be
plnyed with tho Philadelphia nnd Chi
cago teams as tho contenders for the
title. Every one has his reasons for
thinking either tho Kntlonal league or
American league champions will win.
The majority of the National league
fans naturally name the Cubs, while

American leaguers, man to man, will
advertise the Athletics as the one best
bet
Basoball Is such an uncertain game
that it is nlways hard to dope out u
winner. And a short series the world
Beries will be ended when one team
wins four games is practically the
same as one game. By that 1 mean
that tho manager who uses tho best
judgment In tho selection of his pitch
ers nnd who has the best break of
what Is known as "baseball luck" may
upset nil tho dope which the experts
have so industriously ground out.
Strong Points of Cubs
and the Athletics.
Each club has its strong points. The
gamo und aggressive Chicagoaus are
the greatest baseball machine In the
game's history. In baseball brains the
team has no superiors. The catching
staff Is tho best in the country. Then
the Cubs have the courage born ot
confidence. They hnvi been winners
in the world's series and feel like win
ners. This habit of thought will be a
powerful factor in their favor. In the
estimate of baseball men Connie .Mack
has a peerless pitching staff, and he
has just the right combination of vet
erans and now bloods to make his ma
chine dangerous.
In tackling the Athletics the Cubs
will meet an evenly balanced team.
speedy runners, strong in lleldlng and
batting and with one of tho best pitch
ing staffs that has ever landed a pen
nant for a club In either league. In
the Cubs tho Athletics will face a team
that has been credited with being tin
brainiest set of players ever seen to
gether on one team, n club that ban
always been among the topmost In bat
ting, fielding and base running and the
strongest defensive combination in ei
ther league.
Cubs Have Strongest
Catching Department.
Behind tho bat tho Cubs loom up con
siderably more prominently than tho
American leaguers. Kllng and Archer
are rated as the best pair of catchers
in tho game. Mack's young backstop
Lapp has como up fast, but he has
yet to prove that ho has tho general
hlp and ability to execute that Kllng
has demonstrated himself tho owner
of. Kllng is an expert in every par
ticular, keen, cool and calculating,
quick to discover the weakness of an
opponent and to act accordingly. If
Lapp, Thomas or Livingston proves u
surprise by holding up his end with
tho National leaguers' backstops he
also will provo the man of tho hour
and increaso tho Athletics' chances im
mensely. Philadelphia Hat the
Greater Pitching Staff.
Coombs, Bender, Plank and Morgan
havo pitched more consistently than
my four twirlers tho Cubg can show,
nnd If pitching Is to tell the talo tho
Athletics will take tho field well oqulp

physiques and "stuff on the ball," the
Athletics' staff has done better work
day In and day out than the Cubs'
staff.
Chance's probable gunners will be
Brown, Pfelstcr, Cole and Hculboch.
Brown Isn't as good as ho once was
and has been hammered freely sev
eral times this year. The edge In
pitching is with tho Phlladelphlans.
Infields of Two Clubs Are
of Stonewall Variety.
Both have crnck Infields. Chance.
Evers, Tinker nnd Stelnfeldt form u
tried nnd reliable quartet that was
good enough to pilot Chicago to two
world's championships nnd four pen
nants. In fielding, batting nnd gen
eralship tho four men nro superb. Tho
Athletics' infield Is not as old as Chi
cago's, but tho four men have been as
sociated with each other long enough
to work together with precision nnd
harmony. It is a wonderful Infield In
every wny, tho very best in the Ameri
can league.
Now let's look 'cm over. Chance Is
a better fielder than Davis, but at that
there are few that havo anything on
tho Philadelphia first baseman. At
second both tennis hnvo stars, Evers
nnd Collins being the twlnklers. Tho
latter will outhit the Trojan, or nt
least ought to do so, and probnbly will
field just as well as tho boot nnd shoe
merchant from Troy. At short tho
Cubs hnvo tho advantage. Tinker Is
Barry's superior ns a fielder and ns a
long hitter, but tho Holy Cross boy Is
a clever performer nevertheless nnd
in n short series might play every bit
ns well as Evers' side partner.
Baker of tho Athletics Is Stelnfeldt's
superior both In batting nnd fielding.
Tho Marylnnder Is much younger than
his Chicago rival, and youth must be
served. Baker Is not the finished field
er that Stelnfeldt Is, but turns more
Bonsntlonnl plays. Baker Is a terribly
hard hitter and Is more likely to break
up a game thnn Is tho Texan.

Tbo only ono big ndvnntngo tho Ath-

Infield bus a shado on tho Philadelphia

HISTORY OF WORLD'S SERIES
Tho wnrldV series will Ih
stnged In October, nnd It will
be the sixth clash between Amer
ican nud Nntlnii.il league chum
plons. The Boston Americans won
tho first series from Pittsburg
In 1003. The New York Nation
als boat tho Philadelphia Amer
icans In 1005.
Tho.Chlcngo Amerlcnns scored
over the Chicago Nntlonnls In
1000. Tho Chlcngo Natlonnls
then turned In nnd redeemed
themselves by whipping tho De
troit Amerlcnns twice. Last year
tho Pittsburg Nationals beat the
Detroit Amerlcnns.
This makes four wins for Na
tional league teams nnd two for
American league representatives.
Tho Chicago team of 1010 Is
practically the same ball club
that lost the world's champion
ship to tho Chicago Amerlcnns
In 1000 and won It twice from
tho Detroit Americans in 1007
nnd 1008.
BIG FOOTBALL SCORE SURE.
Rulo Allowing Players to Return to
Game Helps Large Unlversltios.
Are wo about to revive the days of big
football-scores, similar to those made
when "Hurry Up" Yost of tho Uni
versity of Michigan was in his prime?
It certainly looks so. One year it was
tho boast of Michigan that her team
had scored n total of more thnn 500
points In n single season, one gnme
nloue netting something in excess of
130 points. Tbcro is smnll likelihood
that the present season will witness
anything so extraordinary as this, but
the new rules nro conducive to big
scores.
The particular rule which Is likely to
produce this condition of nffalrs is that
which permits a team to remove a
player In ono period and then nllow
him to return to the gamo onco during
the succeeding period.
The big college elevens are tho gain
ers by the now rulo regnrdlng substi
tution. It tnkes n lot of scurrying by
the minor colleges to get together a
football squad of more than n dozen
nblebodied young men. Tho new rulo
regarding substitution will bring lit
tle relief to them, becnuse they won't
have tho men to substitute. One of
the games on Franklin field last year
furnished an illustration of this. The
University of West Virginia was the
opponent. Two of tho southerners'
players fell by tho wayside during the
game, and, as there were only thirteen
men in the squad, this used up the
available supply of substitutes. In tho
second half two more players, ono of
them n substitute himself, had to quit
tho game. West Virginia was In- a
quandary and in its dilemma sought
aid of Pennsylvnnla by making tho
unusual request that tho players pre
viously removed from the game bo al
lowed to return. The request was
granted nnd the incident published far
and wide as an example of good sports
manship. The amendment will, of course, aid
tho small colleges, but not In tho same
proportion that it will their big rivals.
Under the new dispensation tho conch
es of the big colleges will use from
two to three elevens during a game
They will not bo afraid to mnko sub
stitutions, because they will know that
If n new player falls to mako good he
can speedily be removed nnd replaced
either by another man or the veteran
who has already been hi tho game.
