Soz Boxmen Backed to Hold

Off McGraw Sluers and

Comiskey Artillery Will Be Well Protected.

By K. C. HAmLTOIf (Usitad Presa Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK. Sept. 19. Shining superbly all season despite the off-set-tinff brilliance cast by the boxmen of Boston, Chicagoa's pitchers will go Into the world's series backed heavily to hold oft the McGraw sluggers and take the edga off anything that the " New York lingers may be able to show. Cicottc, Russell and Faber, th'5 three of the first line defense cast a brilliant reflection In the American leajrue. As compared with National Leaguers they attain heights that McGraw's men hardly will find It possible to reach. Schupp, Benton and Sallee. a trio of left-handed stars, will be the main defense of McGraw, but more than one critic expects Foil Perritt. right-hnnder to prove the real pitching star for the Giants. It has been stated that the White Sox will find the going hard against left hand fingers, but no one ever has had the temerity to charge Kddle rniiHns and Joe Jackson, swingers from the south side, with any unusual fear of a left-side curve ball. Collins and

Jackson have been macing high class pitching from every angle for so long they have come to take the left-handers as a matter of course and hit wi:h equal agility against right and left handers. Hap Felsch does his hatting from the right hand side, so the Comiskey heavy artillery will be well protected against, the left-handers. It is probable Rowland will send Cicotte in to open against the Giants, leaving Faber for the second day's struggle with Russell for the third game. These three rttchers should be

able to work in rotation, provided the usual worlds' series custom is followed. Two games doubtless will be played In each city, with a Jump to follow. A full day has to be allowed for traveling, eo Cicottee. starting the series, would have a four day rest. The same principle holds good for McGraw. with Benton probably to start, Sallee to follow, and Schupp to pitch the third game. It is likely that one of these will be shot from the boxprobably Sallee, and that would mean right-harded relief possibly Tesreau or Anderson. Nobody would be left but Perritt. The former Cardinal stands the best chance of beating the Sox, but it isn't considered at all likely that McGraw will use him unless forced to do so by failure of his southpaws. Next to Perritt stands Benton ind then Schupp. Sallee on the face of the season's running, should stand fourth In effectiveness against the American league champions. Cicotte will prove a tough proposition for. the Giants, if he in in the right kind of form. Figuring Benton to start against him the battle should be finely drawn, with plenty of action. AVith Sallee starting the second game, Faber should find it not a hard matter to win his game. And if Schupp -starts in the third contest. Russell probably will prove more effective. f Russell's case is perplexing. If he isn't Just right he won't be given a shot

Every fan knows that several of the old boys, such as Hans Wagner, Bobby Byrne and, of course. Chief Bender, have come through with some great stuff this season. But the year has been a great one for many other veterans and managers are bejrinmn;? to look for promising old men rather than promising youngsters. There have been few brilliant kids to show up this season and the old men have had all the cheers. George Gibson, Sherwood Magee, Schulte, Evers, Zimmerman, Fletcher, Sallee, Paskert, Killifer, Collins, Jackson, Schalk, Hooper, Gardner and Lewis ar6 some more veterar.3 who have been going great.

at the series, for his arm is one of the kinky kind thnt only works right on occasions. If he is in condition ho will be practically unbeatable. The second line defenses of the two clubs also give an edge to the White Sox, with Danforth and Williams. Tesreau, Anderson and Perritt, will form that line for the G'Ums, with Perritt the only one who has shown championship effectiveness. The three left-handed stars of the Giants top the lit in National league averages, while Russell is the only regular who has accumulated a top average for Chicago. The reason is found in the number of games the hurlers have arrred in. Cicotte, for instance, has worked in more than

forty-five pastimes, and has wen about

twenty-five of thm. Not a New York hurler approaches that service.
