GIANTS AND SOX
GETTING SET FOR
BLUE RIBBON MIX
Fans Study Over Various An
gles in Efforts to Dope Out
; Winner of This Year's
World's Series.
-.
By JACK VEIOCK.
: .New York, Sept. 22. The Giants
irid White Sox are putting on the
finishing touches in preparation for
world's series. ,
For the past week or so the two
teams have been "prepping for the
big blue-ribbon event which means
sq much to the winner both club
and league and with scouts camping
twi the trail of each team to pick up
S inters which will be helpful itf the
Ctpber classic, and the rival man
ners, grooming pitchers and batsmen
foMhe struggle, the base ball fan is
busily trying to pick the -Winner.
The picking of a winner is a dif
ficult task for when one remenbers
that a bast) hit. an error, a wild pitch
or a bone play on either side may
eventually decide the battle, there is
no consistent method to follow.
; The Giants are a powerful team
I atnongWi-comparatively poor lot in
; the National jeague. The White Sox
are the best of a fast set of Ameri-
can league teams, and yet the mar-
gin by which these two pennant win
ners will eventually lead their re
spective fields will not be vastly dif
ferent when the races come to a cose.
For this reason the base ball en
thusiast who sits down to dope out
the big series should consider every
angle carefully before making his
ckice.
Two Points f View.
It is argued, in favor of Chicago,
that the work of the White Sox in
winning the championship by nearly
the same margin that the Giants will
win in the" National league, stands
out as a, strong point in favor of
Rowland's men, because they have
had the 'stiffest opposition. Yet sup
porters of the McGraw entry will
counter with the argument that the
Giants have been so confident all sea
son that they did not play at top
peed, especially early in the face,
and that because they lacked hot
comoetition thev were content to
swing along at an easy gait and holdj
tlje cointortabie ieaa iney nau
amassed in mid season.
Both angles are worth Vhile think
ing over. But there are others, and
perhaps the most interesting of all is
a study of the strong points and weak
nesses of the rival clubs againsMight
or left-handed pitching.
There is loyalty among American
and National league teams in the way
of pulling for their respective ( pen
nant winners to cop the world's se
ries, for the winning team brings
prestige to its league. For this rea
son teams that have been rivals of
the Giants and White Sox all season
should be expected to do their bit in
the way of lending a helping hand
as soon as the pennants were settled
beyond a doubt.
Play Same Game.
The best way in whichthese teams
ciuld possibly aid the pennant win
jfcrs is the use of White Sox or Giant
tactics on the field in 80far as pos
sible during the fading days of the
season. The use of pitchers who can
put up as nearly as possible the kind
of pitching that each . of the two
world's series entrants will have to
face in October is a line along which
the two leagues can greatly aid their
champions, and for (this reason the
closing series of the season in which
the Giants and Sox compete are of
interest to the bug who is trying to
pick a winner.
McGraw, for instance, will want
his team to face as much left-hand
bitching as possible, for the New
York club has not been strong against
' southpaws. The White Sox, though
they have shown to better advantage
than the Giants against offhand fling
ers, will also want all the practise
they can get against left-handers, be
cause of the fact that the greatest
sufngth in McGraw's pitching staff
is centered in his trio of southpaws
Benton, Schupp and Sallec.
The Giant infieldcrs will want all
the work they can get in the way of
breaking up the' Sox system of play
ing for one run and in handling bunts,
while Rowland will probably ask
American league managers whose
teams his Sox must play on the home
stretch to resort to the hit-and-run
game in so far as possible, for the
grind old hit-and-run is McGraw's
Favorite method of attack.
So the fan who watches the efforts
of the two rivals in games which
they will devote largely to prepping
for the elasn in uctODer snouia get
some valuable pointers in siring up
the chances of either team.
According to accent statement
credited to Ar,tie. Fletcher, shortstop
nf the Giants McGraw's men are not
worrying over what Chicago's pitch
ers may be able to do to them by
the use ot tne "snine Dan, wnicn
they have been credited with using
so successfully' in the American
league" this summer.
"As far 'as I know," said Fletcher,
"the shine ball has never come in for
more than casual comment among the
players on our club and none of the
btos are worrying over it
Jj guess the shine ball has beeri
confined strictly to the American
league. At least, we have't run up
against it in our league, that I know
of. From what I hear, it is iwpre
like a spitter than anything else, and
we've faced plenty of spitball pitch
, ing."

GIBBONS STARTS
CHANT FOR MORE
WORLDS TO LICK
McCoy Retires and Dfflon
Takes On Weight, So Phan
tom is Left in Class
by Himself.
By RINGSIDER.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 22. Michael
Gibbons, the"phantom," may well as
sume a Napoleonic attitude and cry
out for more worlds to conquer.
Since the demise of Les Darcy, the
great Australian knuckle . pusher,
Michael has nut forth a strong claim
for the honor of toting the middle
weight crown around on his brow,
and though Brooklyn Al McCoy is
the technical titlcholder, there seems
little or no chance to jret him into
the rine with the St. Paul fiver.
Gibbons recently stepped out of his
class insofar as the weights go to
take on Jack Dillon, the Hoosier
mauler, and for a second time he
handed Jack a walloping that Jack
wjll remember for some time to
come.
Dillon has outerown the middle-
weightdivision. He is guilty of tak
ing on the fluid which adds poundage.
and when he last met Gibbons he
took off some eighteen to twenty
Eounds, so he wasn't at his best and
as an alibi. But that has nothing to
do with :he middleweight situation,
as the write&rfees it.
Here's Gibbons, eager to settle, the
(juestion of supermacy with any boy
in the business who can advance
reasonable claims, and few oppo
nents in sight. Gibbons has Eddie
McCoorty and Jimmy Clabby doing
the stowaway stuff in the Antipodes;
causes George Chip to gulp every
time "his name is mentioned and, as
far as the fair-minded sport man is
concerned, has but one or two oppo
nents in sight who look good.
McCoy to Retirer
It is said that McCoy means to re
tire from the ring, and if this is the
case, Gibbons may weJL claim the
title, for no boxer iq the country to
day can point a finger toward Michael
and say:
1 ve got a horse on your
A battle that would stand out as
the best that could be arranged be
tween the middleweight would be
Gibbons against Harry Greb, the
Pittsburgh boy. Greb has come to
the front by leaps and bounds within
the last six month- He has nut it
over most of the present-day middle
weights and has been pegging Al Mc
Coy for a battle over The long route,
but Al won't listen.
Why not match Gibbons and Greb
over the long route and put the win
ner in a position throw a hot chal
lenge into McCoy's camp, which
would because of public sentiment
either bring him out of his shell or
force him to retire? It looks like
the only logical way to clean up the
middleweight muddle.
Remarkable Scrap.
The battle of Meyers lake will go
down in boxing history as one of the
most remarkable ever staged and for
a good 'many reasons. It was a heavy
weight fight full of surprises and
pretty much of everything else that
one could imagine.
It brought rred Fulton out as a
contender for the title and automati
cally effaced Carl Morris from the
immediate situation. It started a mil
lion arguments, made enemies of for
mer friends and generally messed
things up badly.
Morris was a pitiable figure in his
room at the hotel after the battle had
ended. He lay on his bed suffering
keenly. It wasn't so much thi physi
cal torture he was going through as
it was the loss of the battle in, the
way it was lost.
"Hinkel WasMoo heavy." he kept
repeating.' "I didn't butt and I didn't J
break any rules. He knows that is
my way of fighting. ,1 can go no other
way. Fulton kept complaining about
me right from the start and this got
the crowd started. That'sthe way
everything I did was hissed and
yelled at."

SANDLOT CURTAIN
WILL DROP TODAY
Dtfuble-Header Nrt Melady's
Meadow to Bring Most Suc
cessful Season in History-to
a Close.
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
If the Armours hook a game from
the Murphy Did Its this afternoon,
the curtain on amateur base ball will
be dropped and the gates will be
closed on the fourth consecutive suc
cessful season of the Omaha Amateur
Base Ball association.
Two) games will be staged at Me
lady's meadow this afternoon under
the auspices of the Omaha Amateur
Base Ball association. The first game
will be between? the Murphy Did Its,
Class B champions, and the U. S.
Cafe aggregation, runnerups for the
Class A pennant in Lincoln. The
Cafe bunch is composed of .some of
the fastest base ball gladiators owned
by Lincoln. It will be Lincoln's Class
A warriors against Omaha's Class B
champions, tast Sunday the Murphys
tackled the Class A runnerups at Min
neapolis and hit a snag, collecting the
short end of 4-to-0 score. But ac
cording to Joseph Moran, manager of
the blacksmiths a different story will
be chronicled this afternoon. Alfred
Vernon will shoot 'em over the crock
ery for the anvil lads. The Lincoln
manager has not decided who he will
place on the mound.
Immediatey after this quarrel the
Murphy Did Its will exert all their
stored up energy to win the second
trame of the city series for the ama
teur championship. The first match.
was won by the Armours by the score
of 8 to 5. Evidently the Murphys
were a trifle excited when the initial
shot was fired because five runs were
compiled by the Armours in the first
round. After the first inning the Mur
phys registered five runs, while' the
Armours were only able to collect
three. Although the Murphys are the
Class B champions, they are as good
as the Armours in every department
except the upper story. Of course, the
Armours are old heads and know
more about thjt game arid this point
was amply demonstrated in their
initial argument when two of the Ar
mours stole home. So the teams are
approximately evenly matched with
the exception of this department.
Followers of both teams are antici
pating a nifty duel between these two
Q Practice has already been begun byQ
the Army and Pennsylvania squads.
Among the veterans' to be seen with
the West Point aggregation will be
Elmer Oliphant, while Howard Berry,
the Pennsylvania star, will tackle the
pigskin again for Pennsylvania, his
services with the Overseas Hospital
Unit No. 20 not being immediately
required.
Western League
championship teams. Old Warhorse
Andy Grarves will be on the firing line
for the packerville crew and Pete Mc
Coy, the speed merchant, will hoist
the bill for the Murphy Dits Its. The
board of directors is expecting a
large crowd to witness there final
debates.
Dynamo 'Dennison, thought by
many followers of amateur base ball
to be the brainiest leader in town, and
Fred Bradford, boss of the Brandeis
troupe, have each gathered together a
congiomeranqn oi stars tnai win op
pose each other at Rourke park about
three whistles this afternoon. Den
nison's bunch will consist of the
cream of the Omaha amateurs. In
other words it will be Dennison All
Star lineup. Bradford's team will
consist of salaried ginks. Such well
known successful stars as Gus Will-iamsj-Jiarry
Williams, Edward Spell
man, Marty O'Toole and Peter Mc
Guire will be part of the Bradford
contingent.
Several matters of vital importance
will come up at the meeting of the di
rectors of the Omaha Amateur Base
Ball association to be held at the city
hall tomorrow night. All of the di
rectors are earnestly requested by
President Icsacson to be on hand
prompty at 8 o'clock.
Ohio Grid Captain Is
Anxious to Join Colors
Charles W. ("Chick") Harley,. All
American fullback, announced that
he probably would not return to Ohio
State university this fall, as he had
made application in the aviation corps.
The 21-year-old foot ball star was re
jected at the second officers' training
camp at fort Benjamin Harrison be
cause of his age. If he fails to get
into the aviation corps Harley said he
probably would enter the Great Lakes
naval training station.
To Post Scores of Omaha
: Amateur Games Up North
Arrangements have been made with
the Western Union to bulletin the
games of the Armours and Murphys,
which will be played Sunday at Min
neapolis. The scores will be posted
at Rourke park, where the Brandeis
team will be playing.

Harry Stone', the Beau Brummel of

world has been treating Harry well
lately, his contests with Lew Ed

of dollars. He is still as lavish as
ever with his cash and the newsboys
all know Harry, and rush him as he
leaves his pretty little house in the
Victorian capital After a recent con
test Harry, who drew a very respect
able little roll, treated all the chil
dren of a certain charitable institution
to a free matinee at a Melbourne thea

box better today than he ever did.
Gossip Heard Among
ike Amateur Warriors
Heinizim vs. Heinigroh
Trie interminable argument as to
whether Heinie Groh or Heinie
Zimmerman is the best of all third
basemen continues unabated and
unsettled, you can't convince a
New Yorker that there is anyone
like Heinizim. If you tell him
about tf-Ieinigroh he declares that
Groh-is a showy little player, who
gets the crowds to cheering by fall
ing down on all chances and rising
up with the ball in his claws. The
Cincinnati fans, per contra, adhere
to Groh as the best little third
baseman that ever happened, say
he dives after chances that no one
else could get and ftssert that Zim
falls short when it comes to any-'
thing outside of the mechnical part
of the game. And the American
league fans calmly tell them that
Vitt of Detroit has both Groh and
Zimmerman beaten that he ''is
fully their equal in handling all
kinds of burning chances and is a
quicker thinker than the, National
league duo.

John Hasan of the Holme Whit Sox sure
tickled th pill agalnat th Te-Be-Ces. He
bumped four out of five trip to tha platter.
Today th Brandeis Stores bunch will In
vade Maryvllle, Mo., and endeavor to trim
the baa ball manipulator stationed there.
All foot ball playerorlshtng a tryout
with the Nonpareils ar requested to re
port at the Nonpareil club next Tuesday
night, t
Mayfleld and Corcoran poked the ball
hard for tha Armour at Minneapolis. The
former secured two blow and th latter
thro.
y Last Sunday Bllllam Holbrook was th
big noise with th po!a for the Te-Be-Ces,
h getting three sat prikea out ot five attempt.
All th directors of th Omaha Amateur
Ease Ball association are requested to be
on dock at Malady Meadow at 1:10 this
afternoon.
Harry Williams. Marty - Flanagan and
Frank Qulgley ar going to organise a foot
ball team this week. Th nam baa not been
decided yet.
Jawn Dannlson's banquet for th Mslady
Maverick, Ramblers and director of tha
association was a distinct success from
very angle.
Toward th latter part of th season
Chugg Ryan has been a demon with the
pole. Ho collected two taps out of four
last Sunday.
Yost and Kelly were the clubbers for th
Murphy t Minneapolis. They were cred
Ited with four of the six hits garnered by
tho Murphys.
Anyway tho Te-Be-Ces and th C. B. 1
Do Vol Victors were knotted for berth" five
when the curtain wa pulled In the Greater
Omaha league.
Next season Guy Holland, tha famous
left handed hurler, will be back on the
mound end give some of the heavy hitters
a little trouble.
Sol Novitsky played th heavies with the
pole for Brandeis last Sunday. He secured
tour hits In tha two games agamst the
Tennessee Rats.
In the left pasture the Armours sure have
a peachcrlno In Balderson. H cover an
acre of ground, has a grand arm and I
fast on his pedals.
The Armours. Malady -Mavericks and
Ramblers got In on the pot of the Greater
Omaha league. Armours, first; Meladys,
second; Ramblers, third.
Arrangements wer completed for the
Sample Harta to play at St. Joseph today,
but were cancelled because the St. Joeaph
team booked the All Nations.
Th first foot ball gam of th season
will be reeled off this afternoon at Font.
nell park, when the Ducky Holme tribe
and the Shamrocka lock horns.
Tt would he a difficult matter to muster
together a better bunch of outergardener
than Mayfleld, Al Graves and Balderson,
now associated with th Armours.
This Reason Joseph Glllbam has played
stellar baao ball for th Holmes Whit Sox.
H! ran always be depended on to do tho
right thing at opportune moments.
Phillip Lynch will again manage the Non-pn-ll
foot ball team. Under hie super
vision the championship of tha city haa
h-n copped by the Nonpareil for two con
secutive seasons.
