It "is only a matter of getting players for the backfield equally ns'good as his celebrated line, which is practically the same as last year. The team needs Wallie Hess and one half, and with Sheridan at the other and Lngnecker as fullback can put up a s-trong offense.

For the first time since ln'6 and the fourth time in the hir'ory of the organization, the Chicago White Sox have won the championship of the American League. Yesterday's ictory clno-hed the title beyond all chance of mishap, and now, for the. first time since the American League was organized, the South Sidcrs will meet another team bosides the Cubs in a post-season scries. In Don and 1001, the first two years of the American League, the Chicagoans gr.incd their initial experience as flag w:nners. The (ht .'easoti Charles Comiskoy piloted his own men, but the next year found Clark Griffith as mannipr Th.-i V n i , n 1 T ?n.i ; , 1 'inn ,..1

ganization and no series was played. In lllOfi, the South Silo was given a taste of world series jojs. for the (ir;-t time, under the direction of Fielder Jones. From then, until the present year, despit e the valiant, effort? of President Comiskoy, fortune has failed to smile on the Pale Hose. Sox Overcome Obstacles.
