OASES MINUS fi LINEUP fted Assault Lacks Balance of Pale Jlose Aggregation, Veteran Sport Writer Contends. BY GRANTLAND RICE. (Copyright by New York. Tribune. Pub- Jlsnea Dy Arrangemenij Who'll win the series'.' Chapter 2. Offensive strength. The ball club strongest in attack has won on the average two world's series out of three played. No one would ever accuse the White Sox of 1906 or the Braves of 1914 of being stouter at bat than the Cubs or Athletics, whom they over threw. But for all that they won with comparative ease, taking eight of the ten games required to round out the decision. The Tigers of 1909 looked better at bat than the Pirates, yet the latter predominated. So, superior batting strength includes no set-up. It is merely that much of a margin to work on, other details being in the 50-50 sector. The Sox attack. Sox Attack Lusty. The White Sox through this season have launched the lustiest offensive in either league. They have outbatted all American league rivals by a de cisive margin. Make no important mistake on this point. The White Sox can stand up and annoy pitching with any club on record. A ba'ting order that carries Weav er. Collins, Jackson and Felseh with C-andil, Leibold and Schalk horning in here and there is about as easy to eubdue as a hydrophic tank. This club has hit with the Mack men in their best season. The normal batting average of a big league ball player is .250. Total the average of all involved if you have a few weeks to spare, as we once did, and you will find these figures approximately correct. Yet here is a club that has tossed out an average above .280 all jear, including the pitchers. 7o Soft Spots in Lineup. From the top of the batting order down through the list there is no soft srot in sight for a rival pitcher to Pick as a resting place. When he drcps one tough customer he finds himself face to face with another until the strain soon begins to tell. Red strength: The Reds in turn are no light bat ting club. They have shown the most powerful offensive in their league since April. With Roush, Daubert, Groh and oth ers they have both power and speed a well-developed attack that has broken througn consistently. Their club average has circled around .270 all season, which is no feather-lined assault. They have also put upon display a game trnd of attack, the sort that tfiirs in at the main moment and beats the other entry to the rush. The two clubs together stand as the leadi! g representatives of the two leagues in offensive strength, so there is no "hitless wonder" tone to the oc casion. Nothing lut good pitching will stop the Reds. No semi-class effort will hold them at bay. Strength Below Sox. But for all that they can't hit with the White Sox. A club that can slug the Tigers with Cobb. Veach, Heitman and Flagstead in harness has com pleted a standard production of the well-known punch. The balance of power. The Red attack doesn't carry the same balance shown by the White Sox, who in this respect are un equaled. They have no collection of dyna mite to match Weaver, Collins. Jack son and Kelsch. The Collins-Jackson combination is now the best run-getting team in the game. Collins is a marvel at getting on, one way or another, and needs as much on the ball as it can carry with out becoming lopsided. Collins, next to Cobb, is the most dangerous athlete in attacking that baseball knows. We refer here to "baserunning as well as batting. And in a world series Collins' record is far beyond that of Cobb. Oases Are Scarce. If a pitcher could work his way safely by Collins and Jackson and then ease up for a spell, he might hold them in check. But there isn't any oasis at hand anywhere along the line no cool, shady spot where one might pause and inhale a few deep breaths. Holding this attack. Pat Moran is a past master at de veloping and picking pitchers who are at their best. He has a fine staff. But Pat is facing the hardest assign ment of his career in this respect. He is fortunate in having enough good pitchers to protect himself in case one stumbles into trouble, but he will find it a whale of a job when it comes to rolling back the Sox offen sive day after day. No American league defense has been able to turn this trick, and the American league has its share of de fensive strength. Here and there some workman in the rifle pit would subdue the Sox for a day, but the next after noon they would break out with in creased fury. The Reds have a first-class attack but not the slashing, driving power of their post-season rivals. IXTER-LEAGIE SERIES SET St. Paul-Coast Games to Begin Oc tober 8, Is Plan. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 25. The St. Paul baseball club, winner of the American association, is to meet the winner of the Pacific Coaet league Vernon or Los Angeles in the first series ever played between the pen nant winners of these two leading minor leagues. Arrangements for the series are be ing made by a committee at Los An geles, including representatives of both the Los Angeles and Vernon clubs, which is negotiating directly with St. Paul, rather than through the officials of the Pacific Coast league. The Pacific Coast league season ends Sunday, October 5. and the series with St. Paul will start according to plans, October 8. The games will continue daily until the series is de cided. Whether best four games out of seven or the best five out of nine will determine the championship has not been settled. After the series in southern Cali fornia an exhibition series of about three games will be played here with the Oakland and San Francisco clubs. Lowest brow in the works discov ered in Yonkers.

Jr. .-'j KARL, XEALK AXD CATCHERS ARE IN SUCCESS Umpire Billy Evans Calls Ray Schalk "Original Pepperpot" and Recounts Some of the Remarkable Plays Made by Famous Backstop. W. G. "Billy" Evans, famous American league umpire and baseball authority, haa entitled this feature, "What Part Do the Catchers Play?" In it he gives some in teresting information on Ray Schalk, Bill Karlden and Ivy W ingo. the men who will direct the action of the White Sox and Reds on the field. This is the sixth of a series of ten articles on the coming world series written by Mr. Evans which are being published exclusively in The Ore gonian. BY BILLY EVANS. American League Umpire. w HAT part does a catcher play in the winning of a pennant? If Ray Schalk, the "human dynoma" of the Chicago White Sox, had been put out of the running dur ing the season be cause of an injury that query would have probably been answered. Certainly the Sox would have had their troubles to win. If you should ask Pat Moran for one good reason why the Cincin nati Reds pros pered in 1919, he would undoubted liilly Eaim, ly speak of nis catching staff. In Bill Rariden and Ivy Wingo, Moran had two catchers who gave his team excellent mechanical services, coupled With brainy Judgment. Catchers Playing Bis Part. In a short series of seven games the work of the catchers play a de cidedly important part in the success or failure of a club. The brainy catcher must try to outguess the op position. If he believes the steal or hit-and-run is on, it is up to him to waste one, wit'a a hope of break ing it up. On the other hand, the calling for two many waste balls is apt to get his pitcher into consid erable trouble if the opposition fails to play as the catcher figured it. As each batter steps into the box a prob lem immediately confronts the catch er. He must call on the pitcher's stock in trade for the delivery which he believes will most puzzle the bats man. In most cases the pitcher de pends almost entirely on the judgment of his catcher. If In a pinch he calls for a curve and the batter hits safely. driving in a couple of runs, there are always a lot of second guessers who will opine that he never should have used a curve, that a fast one, high J and on the outside, was the nnlv I proper ball to have called for.

BIG FACTOR OF BALL TEAM a merry.life. Every one has the sec pnd guess on you. Srhallt Outclasses Rivals. While Bill Rariden and Ivy Wingo are two great catchers, they lack the color of Ray Schalk. Wingo and Rariden go about their work in a quiet, methodical way, with little to say; yet they do it most efficiently. Schalk, on the other hand, is the original "pepperpot" of the backstops. He fairly exudes ginger. He isn't still a minute. If he isn't saying kind or hard things to his pitcher he is get ting after, first. Gandil, then Collins, next Risberg, and lastly Weaver, for their failure to keep things stirring. His shrill wiiistle after giving the sig nal is a bit'of by-play all his own that keeps the rest of the boys on their toes. When the pitcher aopears to be loafing or getting a bit careless, Schalk proceeds to return the ball with such speed that one begins to wonder who is really doing the pitching. Kay Goes Everywhere. Most catchers are satisfied to do all their performing in the immediate vicinity of the home plate, but not the unusual Mr. Schalk, for he roams everywhere. It happened to be my good fortune to umpire in certain games in which Schalk made plays that are decidedly unusual for a catcher. In fact I believe Schalk stands out as the only catcher with a record of having made put-outs at first, second and third bases. In one of the games the third baseman was pulled far in to handle a bunt. He got the batter at first. The runner on first decided to try for 'third on the play. No one anticipated such a play but Schalk. From his position back of the plate he raced down to third, took a hard throw to handle from the first sacker and touched the runner out as he slid into third. Some play No. 1. In another game, racing down to first to back up all plays, as is his custom, he shifted a little instead and made straight for the first sack. The batter had overrun the base in the direction of second. A perfect throw from the right fielder to Schalk en abled him to retire the runner trying to get back to first. Some play No. 2. On another occasion he nipped a runner off second. In the run-up that followed between second and third Schalk got into it. He finally touched the runner out as he was making a last wild break for second. Just a mo ment before he reached the bag, get ting the assist and put-out. Some play No. 3. Those plays are Schalk all over.

BY" HARRY M: GRAYSOX. Billy Piercy goes to the Yankees next spring. He's one of the best looking young pitchers in the league and is the twirling ace of the Yippers. Manager Rodgers figured him a cer tainty to take the third game of the series yesterday, but did not figure on one bad inning. That joyful round proved to be the fifth, when the Beavers laced the ace. scoring five times and giving Harvey Sutherland a well-earned victory. Final count Portland 6, Sacramento 4. Wiidness played a big part in the downfall of young Mr. Piercy. When he did get the ball over the rubber a willow in the hands of an able-bodied Mackman hit it where nary a Senator could field it. Four of the seven hits made off Piercy came in that delight ful round. The Mackian machine batted all the way around. The ses sion was productive of heaps of ac tion. With one Beaver gone to the happy hunting grounds, Leifer started things by walking. Wisterzll singled and "Biff" Schaller drove them both into the dugout by doubling to right. George Maisel singled across the key stone, Schaller hoofing it across the Rhine, Maisel taking second on El dred's throw to the plate. Maisel took third when Blue grounded out; Siglin walked and stole second. Baker was hit by a pitched ball, filling the bases. Klngdon Hits In Pinch. Little Wes Kingdon, one of the greatest prospects ever seen in the league, thereupon electrified the few hundred spectators by singling solid ly into right, driving in Maisel and Siglin. The Los Angeles schoolboy made two hits and drew a walk at the end of the day's attack. He pulled off a couple of fielding stunts which made Bob Stevens think of Dave Ban croft. It looks as if he'll be the reg ular McCredie shortstop next spring. Four Portland errors tell why only one of the four runs off Sutherland was earned. The Lents lad pitched a beautiful game, scattering the eight hits charged to his account. Piercy retired at the end of the fifth in order to let Bill Stumpf ground out for him ancLSouthpaw Klein wound up the af fair for Rodgers. Portland scored once more when "Lefty." Sutherland's double, chased Kingdon across with the final Beaver run in the eighth. Errors Account for Scores. The first of two errors of omission on the part of Siglin and Eldred's double account for the first Yipper run in the fifth. Two more came In the eighth on Blue's boot, a double by Griggs, an infield out and Pine'.li's sacrifice fly. Two hits in a row in the ninth tell the tale of the ninth-inning registration of the enemy. When Catcher Del Baker was hit in the small of the back by a pitched ball in the fifth he was forced to re tire, Speas running for him and Koehler finishing the day's work back of the rubber. Miss Fay King, New York cartoon ist, was among those out with binocu lars. The score: ' Sacramento Portland B R If O A I BRHOA M'dleton.l 5 12 4 O'l.elfer.r. .. 4 1 O 1 1 urr.s 4 111 !

I K WO.MKX golfers consider care fully the stance and swing for the pull they will. In due course, dis cover wherein the nuture of its pin differs from the slice, beyond the fact that it has in u general way the re verse motion. The object of the pull is to cause the ball to rotate, roughly speaking, from right to left. A professional risks appearing somewhat pedantic by explaining that when an object is revolving in the same direction in which the hands of a clock, laid flat on Its back, move. Its rotation is described as going from left to right. When the object Is moving anti-clockwise, its motion is called a spin from right to left. Wlv-n playing for a pull, in order that the ball may have this right to left ro tation, it is necessary that the face of the club should cut across the ball's intended line of flight in suc-h Uu way that the friction or the clubs face against the ball should produce the desired spin. To accomplish this the player takes her' stance so that her right foot Is. withdrawn behind the imaginary line that crosses her left toe and runs parallel to the line from hole to ball produced. lira id says, on pace 77 of "Advanced tiolf." that "... we place the right foot back and make the stance an exaggerated square." It is somewhat puzzling to understand how a thing can be more square than square. This quotation emphasizes the fact that the game of golf is deficient in ter minology. KidRcfield Starts Scrimmage.

HATS 1 1 v.i r j c3c HATTERS 286 Washington 5 REDS M. FORMER SOX NATIONAL. CHAMPS CARRYING CHICAGO CAST-OFFS. Itou-li, Rath, FJIcr, Sohrcilicr and Allen Pastimcd for Comlskcy in Days tione By. CHICAGO, Sept. 23. It is a singu lar coincidence that five members of the Cincinnati Nationals formerly wore the uniforms of the White Sox the team they are to pay Tor the world's baseball championship. Kddie Itoush. star baiter and out fielder with the Keds. was with the White Sox for a tryout under the management of Jimmy Callahan in 1913, but was released to Lincoln. Morris Rath, the Reds second base man also was with the White Sox under Callahan. He was released to the Kansas City club where he came to the front as a -3m) hitter. He was signed by Cincinnati last season and made good from the start. "Hod" Kller. who has been pitching remarkable ball for the Reds was on the White Sox roster during the spring training trip of 1916. but was released to the Molin club of the Three- league. Kller started his professional career in the Three-I league, which also produced Clarence Rowland, whom "Kid" Gleason suc ceeded as manager of the White Sox. Rowland was the first to recognize Kller's major league possibilities and gave him a chance to qualify in fast company. While the team was in training at Mineral Wells, Texas. Kller "palled" with Have Hanforth and other pitch ers and picked up a lot of valuable information. His rise to baseball fame with the Reds has been rapid. Like Kddie Cicotte. one of the pitching stars of the White Sox. Kller's best year previous to this season was in 1917. He won 10 out of IS games. He has been one of the pitching main stays of the Red's sta:f this season. The Sox also contributed two morel players to the Reds, concerning whom little is heard. They -re Henry Schrei- i ber. utility infielder. who was with the j t'hicago club in 1S14, and Artemus Ward Allen, a catcher, who was with Comiskey's club for a short time in 1911, later going to Minneapolis.

AltlilCKLE ASKS NO FAVOHS Vernon M -s'lale Kciiiiesls Seattle ' to Extend Angel Series. SEATTLK, Wash.. Sept. 25. Roscoe ("Fatty"! Arbuckle. moving picture Street comedian and owner of the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast baseball league, now in second place, has sent two telegrams to J. R. Brewster, pres ident of the Seattle club, asking that the Rainiers piay seven games this week against Los Angeles, the league leaders. Only six games are sched uled. Arbuckle's first telegram sent yes terday, reads: "For the best Interests of baseball. I hope you will insist on seven games being played this week between Seat tle and Los Angeles. I know your spirit of good sportsmanship will not permit you to be influenced in giving any advantage to any club in the pennant race." President Al liaum of the league recently ruled the question of playing the seventh game was optional with the home team. President Brewster thinks Seattle is too badly crippled to attempt seven games in four das. which would be necess.rv.
