; New York, Oct. 4. Regardless o
the fact tliat the Cleveland club is
' " supposed to have won its pennant
- .-'gainst harder opposition than that
'. which confronted the Brooklyn Na-
- ticnals, it is a fact that the two in
f'cWs stack up pretty well one
V . azainst the other.
Hitting as about even and fielding
. is about the same. In tact, there
" " are spots where Brooklyn outshines
. A its more spectacular rival
..'. vEd Konetchy is vastly a better
;irs baseman than Wheeler John-
rton. konetchy is .slow on the
base? and so is Johnston,- but Ko
' netehy is a faster fielder than his
American league rival and a more
ticDcndable hitter. Johnston is an
early-season hitter, generally riding
above .300, only to fall off in the
later days of a "season. Konetchy
' v 14 a .300 man all season long, hits
veil in the pinches and his drives
include many for extra bases. He
is more inspiring to his teamrhates
' also, for Johnston is apt to take
i. things too easily'.
At second base the comparison
1 finds a standoff. Bill Wainbsganss,
"V tre Cleveland keystone marl, will hit
just about even with Pete Kilduff,
'... the Dodger " guardian. Both are
'frncctacular fielders and fair base
. ' : uppers. Vam!sganss is older in
.iCl'V league experience than Kilduff,
b:i the Omaha graduate has done
L,' rome sensational work in the brief
y' period he has shown his wares in
the National league, and is not un
",; likely to prove one of those George
Rohe "players who occasionally rid
X precedent to shreds in a world's se
'Vies. x .
- Robbins Best At Short. ;
. ' It is unfortunate ,tljat Cleveland
"9 'canot put a shortfieldcr in the, game
f ; to compare with Ivan Olson, who
" once was an Indian. . If Ray Chao
"; : man had lived the odds would-be,
ia favor of Cleveland at this panic
, ular position. Since he is dead and
Ei'f youngster holds ddwn his. position
f one must admit that Olson is the
"better. No matter how flashy the
; Yielding of Cleveland's youngster at
that position may be, he will be un
i" r.blc to compare with the veteran
.Olson in field generalship and all
'around usefulness to. his club. Ol'
son, also, cannot be called avptmt
Ivtter. His batting all season ranges
around .260 or better, and he prob
I ably will have at least that good an
i average bu the Cleveland pitchers.
' At third base there are points in
' flavor of each player. Gardner is a
t veteran at that position, but Jolin
. j ston's ! natural speed van d the
. ; strength of his throwing arm offsejU
. I some of the advantages gained by
Gardner through longer association
with the intricacies , of third bae
; play. Johnston is an outfielder. He
.4 ' , : playing third base for the Kjot
lime in, the majors. Therefore he
cannot be expected to shine as
brilliantly on defense as Gardner,
.i Nevertheless Johnston has flashed
some' nifty work around the hot
corner this year and may surprise
fcs even the veteran Gardner.
Gardner Good Sticker.
, GajdneY is a dangerous hitter. His
... .-.verage reaches or passes the . 300
' ; mark or . comes very close to it
ev;ery year. This year is no excep
tion. Add to that his faculty tor
r' guing long safe drives with tie
bases occupied and you have a very
valuable plyer.
Johnson, is not so sure hitter,
but his average is good" year in and
year out. -He is aTso a long driver
V. and there are few faster players in
lose ball. He is a bcther of Wheel
tr Johnston, first baseman . for the
.- . Indians.
Cleveland has learned this year to
depend fnore upon its pitchcers than
any startling fielding by its infield
ers. Therefore not so ' much de
pends on the inner works. Brook
lyn, on the other hand, has seen
many games saved through brilliant
or lucky stabs at hard hit baflls. One
it likely, therefore, to see the more
sensational and tighter fieldina
from the Brooklyn inlield. .
On all-around abilityy cosidering
team work from every angle, bat
ting abilit-, base-running ability,
and fielding, the two infields com
pare favorably, although on paper
'N the Brooklyn players haye a bit of
,' an-edge. . n . , '

Charge Certain White"
.Sox With "Throwing' -Contest
This Season
(Jhicagi Oct. o.--Cliargcs that
certain Chicago White Sox players
regulated their playing this season
by the score board winning or
losing, as the occasion demanded in
order to keep the betting odds
favorable were made tonight by
Byrd Lynn and Hcrvty McClellin,
who said that as "bench wariT.er"
most of the season., they had studied
the players carefully and were con
vinced the Sos were "thrown'' out
of the pennant,.. J
''We lost the pennant because cer
tain players they are among the
eight indicted by the Cook county
grand jury did not want us to win,"
srfid Lynn. "We soon noticed how
carefully they, studied the score
board more, than even the average
player does in a pennant race and
that they-ahyays made errors which
lost us the game when Cleveland
and XcwYork were losing. If Cleve
land won, we won. If Cleveland lo$t,
we lost. The idea was to keen the
betting odds, but not to let us win
the petuianfr."
McClellan said he was convinced
certain players had ' deliberately
"thrown" three games in Boston oil
the last eastern trip. t
"Several of the . players noticed
how tfee score .board affected the
bthers, he added, "and we felt all
Mong that theseineivwere reguiating
their play according to the play of
other teams."
No announcement has been given
as to whether any of the White Sox
players will be called before the
grand jnrywhen it reconvenes on
Tuesday to ebntinue the base ball
inquiry.

New York. Oct. 4. The Brook
lyn Nationals rnd , the Cleveland
Americans open their world series
battle for the 1920 championship at
Hbbets field tomorrow afternoon,
veather permitting. j.
Twinkling stars in ,a cloudless
sky tonight seemed to bear out the
forecaster's preliminary announce
ment of "fair weather with modcr
; te winds," for the initial battle for
the premier honors of the profes-,
sional diamond - Much depends up
"on the" weather man, for all other
arrangements have been completed
and the success pf the opening con
test hinges entirely upon his control
of the elements.
The playing field of the Brooklyn
park has been manicured 'for 'the
last time and every reserved seat
disposed of, while thousands of dis
appointed fans are engaged tonight
in a. fruitless hunt for speculators
or- friends who will seller loan
them a ticket for at least pn game.
- Brooklyn Player Resting.
VThc Brooklyn players, winners of
the National league pennant, are
testing tonight preparatory -to en
countering the rush of the Cleve
land clan, which is due in this city
ecrly tomorrow morning. Manager
Robinson and every member of the
Brooklyn team express firm belief
in their ability , to defeat their
American league rivals, while Ft is
Speaker and his teammates hold the
opinion that the 'world series banner
will be hoisted next spring ii the
Cleveland park.
Arrangements and setting for the
series of 1920 will not differ greatly
from those which have already made
base ball history. If there is any out
standing feature, it' is expected to be
furnished by the spectators. Their
attitude toward base ball classic and
players who participate in the strug
gle is an anlc which cannot be tore
cast. . ,
General opinion among close. fol
lowers of the game leans to the be
lief that thousands who will file into
Ebbets field tomorrow will bes per
haps more observant and critical in
their comment upon the. play, but
beyond that, it was said by base ball
enthusiasts the recent expose of gam"
b'ing a year ago will not affect the
popularity of the series unless some
urfortunate occurrence should rouse
suspicion afresh in the minds of the
fans
Expect Large Crowds.
Certainly the climax of tlic br.se
ball seasbn has shown no loss of in
terest so far as the fans of greater
New York , ar concerned. Every
reserved seat at the Brooklyn park
has 'been sold for the series. On
Sunday President Charles H, Ebbets
stated that he had been obliged to
return more than $60,000 in checks
and currency to those who had hoped
fo purchase seats for the four games
for which the Bropklny club printed
reserve coupons.

Nebraska Growing
Too - Slowly Asserts
PuBlicity Director
The Nebraska increase in popula
tion is declared to be unsatisfactory
by Arthur Thomas, publicity director
of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce.-
He estimates the 1920 population of
Nebraska will be in the neighbor
hood of 1.296,000.
This, it is said, will be an increase
of less than nine per cent one of
the lowest increases of anystatc an
nounced to date. ' ...
According 'to this estimate the
population of Nebraska lias only
increased about 23fj;000 in the last
20 years. '
Mr. Thomas, stated that it is high
time some "state-wide organized
movement isStartcd to increase the
population ot xvcnrasKa. t

said tha although players of the

was possible that evidence against
gamblers would be presented to the
jury. x
"The situation is not local and cu
important." said judge Dike. "It is
widespread and most vital. There

manship of those who represent tin

Wonderful Benefits Obtained
From Tanlac By Both
.Mother and Daughter.
"Tanlac has restored my health
so completely tlTat I quit taking
the medicine two months ago, and
I haven't felt a sign, of my trouble
since," declared Mrs. Fred Gaeth of
202 N. 19th street, Omaha. Neb.
'T suffered dreadfully for t
years from a severe case of stomach
trouble, and w"ns in a badly rundown
condition. Mr appetite usr uww

my stomach I could hardly stanii
them, 'and I also had severe head
aches and dizzy spells. I was so
nervous that tbe least little flying
would upset me, and at night I was
so restless 1 could scarcely sleep. 1
was in a miserable condition, and
h d such little strength and energy
I couldn't even do my housework. 4
"I saw where Tanlac was helping f
so many people who seemed to be S
suffering just like I was that I
started taking it myself, aud I be-
gan improving right from the verv'
first. By the time I ha finished
the fiiiMottle my. appetite-was just
splendid, and my stomach seemei1
to be in perfect condition, for I
could eat anything 1 wanted without
it troubling me a particle. I never
have a sign ot headache or dizzi
ness now. aud my nerves are to
stWdy that I sleep good and sound JJ
all -night long. I don't have a4ny
trouble in doing my housework, and
in fact, I'm feeling as well as I
ever "did in my life.
"My daughter, who was also in
ill health, after seeing what Tanlac
did for me, began taking the medi
cine, aid it has simply done her a
world of good. NatutaJIy, we are
very grateful to Tanlac, and are
only too glad to recommend it."
