Who's Who in the World's, Series SLIM SALLEE

:IVY JACK Slim Sal'ee used to be one of the Mildest pitchers in the big leagues. A few years ago. as a member of the St. l)uis Cardinals, the tall i-Iim southpaw probably had more .stuff" than he has today, but he did not know there was snich a thing as the home plate, or, at least, his pitching indicated as much. He base-on-balled himself out of many a game vhich he entered looking I;t to stand opposing batsmen on their heads, and, try as he might, he co jldn't conunco the umpires that he was getting 'em over. Yet. with all of his wildness. the lanky forhhander has always been rated as a good pitcher, despite the fact that, like Ray Caldwell, he is inclined to kick over tbe traces at times. Today. a.s a member of the (liants, Sallee has come into his ("n.

No One Can be Sure Whether White or Red Sox Will Grab the Pennant.

HV OHAS. W. CALU Whil the members of the New York Giants are already having thir histories reviewed in the newspapers because they are going to participate in the next world's series, the Ch;go White Sox and the Bo-ton Re I Sox. still strive for the honor of representing the American league i.i baseball's bigtet annual classic. Never since the best days of the Chicago Cubs, the famous old Pirate?, and the Tigers, who won an American league championship, has th west held such a prominent place in baseball as now. Chicago won its last National league pennant in 1S10, and Detroit was the western club to represent the American league In a world" series struggle. It has been seven long seasons .-ince the wet borne I into the baseball head-linr. A Irtvlnt. In case Chiea.ro wins the American league pennant this year, as is being variously predicted as the ra i nears the tape, and in th event thaZ the Giants do not get into any railroad aeeidents or take any ocean excursions in the l'-boat tegione. it will be the first time that team.' from the country's two larpest citie have confronted each other on th diamond in a world'? srie. With the natural rivalry existing a world series between these two should b a battle from the word go. The all-encrosing question in th. American i "Will the White S -x. or the Red Sox cop?" Much has been written during th past three months about the power of the Poston Red S- in the stretch. True, the dny.o on seasonpast makes the inn from Massachusetts one? to be feared in the dying weeks of the season, and the facts this season are Indicative of thenability to keep pohnding away rieht up till the last game is pkyed. Hung on In August. The White So have a tirst rla ball club, one that ha all the arinnrk of a champion.

To ;rgue that th White S- li.f.f a stronger inaclun that the Red Sox is assuming ronlilernti. Schab; jf course. Is the class of the tw. catching staffs. It's pretty near th f.ld saw of six or a half a dozen over again when you try to pick between Until. Foster. bnn;inl. T'ennock. Shore and Mays, nnd cicotte. William. Faber. Rrss-HI.
