Chapter 3.
The defense.
The Giants of 1905. the White Sox
of 1906 and the Braves of 1914 at
least three notable examples won.
"world series championships by toss
ing up defensive barricades that were
impregnable to assault. The defense
is even more important than the of
fense, for It takes in the catching,
the pitching, the infield and outfield
play. It is more important in that a
fine defense more often than not can
nullify a strong attack.
Given a hard-hitting ball club and
put this club up against a star pitch
er, ably supported, and the hard-hitting
club isn't very much inclined to
go very far in a scoring way.
Pitching In Red' Hope.
The Red chance.
The Reds face a club that can out
hit and outscore them by at least a
fair margin. And probably some
thing on the side.
They have no such alert and dash
ing hitter and base runner as Eddie
Collins is, and no such slugger as
Jackson to help break through. Their
one chance to win this series is to
go get fine pitching and back it up
as the Braves backed up the pitching
of Rudolph, Tyler and James five
years ago.
If Sallee, Ruether, Eller, Ring and
Kisher can rise to top heights and
get good suport, even the rurged on
slaught of the Sox will have great
difficulty in reaching any distant ob
jective. Yet, even here, as far as the dope
may figure in the final returns, the
Reds have none the best of it.
In Cicotte, Williams and Kerr.
Gleason has three pitchers who to
gether have won over 70 per cent of
their American league games. These
three men on an average have won
better than seven games out of every
10 started.
Moran H n Fine Slabmen.
Where Moran has five winners
Gleason has but three: yet. at least
two of Gleason's are star performers.
Cicotte, the star bet.
If we are to travel by form, Cicotte
should be the big star of the series.
He is a veteran with a world of ex
perience to help him along.
He has already starred in one
world series and proved his coolness
and judgment under fire.
This season he has drawn one of
his greatest years possibly his
greatest with an average above .800.
He has no better head and no bet
ter courage or judgment than Slim
Sallee, but he has more stuff.
Williams is almost as dependable.
He, too, has had his best year, and
two great pitchers, even in a nine
game series, are a big asset. These
two on form look to me better than
any two pitchers that Mpran can
how.
Long Series Benefit Reds.
They should be good for at least
four games, and possibly five or six.
But with these two out of the way,
Moran will have a big edge. But
getting these two out of the way is
no soft-coated enterprise. Not ex
actly. How the defense looks.
In four of the first six games Glea
eon will have a slight margin in the
pitching. If the series goes to nine
games Moran will have an advantage
in the remaining five.
In a nine-game series, the Reds
have a slight advantage in the pitch
ing, despite the effectiveness of
Cicotte and Williams. For Moran
can count on fresh pitching all along
the route. Gleason can after Cicotte
and Williams have worked two
games.
In fielding.
Schalk Best Catcher.
Gleason has the advantage back of
the plate with Ray Schalk to match
against Wingo and Rariden. Schalk
is the best catcher in the game today,
a smart, hustling ballplayer, who can
handle his pitchers in jam-up style.
Around the infield Risberg and
Weaver are about a standoff for
Kopf and Groh. Weaver and Groh
are the two best third basemen in
the game.
But on the other wing of the in
field Gandil and Collins range well
above Daubert and Rath.
Daubert may hold Gandil to a draw
but Rath can't class with Collins.
Neither can any other infielder now
in baseball.
Red Infield Consistent.'
The Red infield has done con
sistent work all year, but the Sox
Infield has been one of the big fac
tors in that club's success. In the
double play line they have smothered
more rallies than any one else on the
field.
The outfield defenses are rarely an
important factor in any short series.
It cost the Giants a championship
seven years ago, but this was an
unusual turn.
There is no decisive margin here
one way or another.
Taking in the entire works with
Moran a extra pitching power ana tn
general steadiness of his infield and
outfield defense, the Reds, and Sox
in a defensive way are fairly well
matched. Both are strong and neithe
is likely to break and crumble up.

coming world's series, has entitled this
article "The Value of Pitching." In this
feature he gives a comparison of the
stars who probably will work in the big

American League Umpire.
THEl
per
anc
HEY do say that pitching is 75
r cent of a team's strength,
d as a rule I heartily agree
with that deduction, but it hardly
holds good for the Chicago White
Sox of 1919. The pitching of the Chi
cago White Sox staff this season, bar
ring of course Cicotte and Williams,
and possibly Kerr, has been decided
ly erratic. The usually reliable Faber,
the star of the 1917 world's series, in
which he won three games from the
New York Giants, has had a poor
year. Other American league clubs
can rejoice in. that fact, for if Faber
had been at the top of his game, the
White Sox would have been early out
to a commanding lead, and the great
race that has characterized the Ameri
can league campaign from the open
ing of the season would have probab
ly been a myth.
It doesn't seem possible that a
club could do the things that the
Sox have done this year with only
two crack pitchers. Cicotte and Wil
liams. At certain stages of the race,
it was absolutely necessary that
Gleason work both of these stars to
the limit, in order to obtain the van
tage. During the last two months of
the season, American league mana
gers and players have been pre
dicting that one or the other of the
two Sox veterans would crack, and
the moment such a thing happened,
the chances of the Sox would rapidly
go into the discard.
The long looked for explosion never
took place, and in a way much credit
must be given to the excellent man
ner in which he handled his rather
frugal pitching stock. ' I have seen
Gleason time and again call on some
second string pitcher, when a man
ager who lacked courage would have
called upon one of his stars, rather
than face the criticism that was sure
to result in case his pitching selec
tion "flivvered."
Muran's Pitchers Best.
Since it is generally admitted that
pitching holds the balance in a short
series of seven games, much consid
eration will undoubtedly be given the
strength of the two pitching staffs,
in summing up the chances of the
White Sox or Reds to win the big
series. A mere glance at the two
taffs, and the records made in the
919 race, would cause one to im
mediately reach the conclusion that
nthat department Moran had a de-
ided advantage over Gleason, and
so it may prove, but it is far from a
foregone conclusion.
In Eddie Cicotte and "Lefty" Wil-
ams, the Cincinnati Reds will face
wo great pitchers. In "Hod" Eller.
immy Ring, "Dutch" Reuther, "Slim'
Sallee, the Sox will face a quartet of
igh-class pitchers, with Fisher and
Luque, two classy box men in reserve.
Moran may cross me up, but I feel
lmost certain that Eller, Ring, Reu
ther and Sallee will carry the bur-
en. That means that any schedule
that may be adopted for a world

series will in no way interfere with
Moran's pitching plans. He has
quality and quantity, and nothing to
worry about from a pitching stand
point. On the other hand Gleason's task
of selecting his pitchers may prove
a most troublesome one. because
where Moran has four first string
stars, Gleason has only two.
Faber Is 'ot Right.
If Faber was right, Gleason wouldn't
have a thing to worry about, but
Faber isn't right, so why discuss that
flaw in the pitching- staff? Despite
the fact that Fabr is not the Faber
who proved so troublesome to the
Giants, it wouldn't be at all surpris
ing If Gleason took a chance on him
to solve the pitching situation.
There is another angle to the pitch
ing problem that may prove of some
solace to Gleason. There is a pre
ponderance of left-handed hitters in
the Cincinnati lineup. That usually
means that a left-hander of ability
can make considerable trouble. It is
just possible that the diminutive
"Dicky" Kerr may prove to be such
an individual. Kerr has no baffling
speed, but be has a mighty nice curve
ball, an excellent change of pace, and
a half-speed ball that Is rather hard
to time. Kerr is in his first year as a
big leaguer, and to that extent lacks
experience, but he has proven a most
valuable man for Gleason, first as a
relief pitcher, when Gleason was con
serving his limited supply of twlrlers.
and later as a regular when a pitcher
who could step in, take his turn and
win consistently, was a most desired
person.
Slab Duel In Sight.
It is not improbable that Cicotte
and Eller may oppose each other. If
such happens to be the case, those
present can look forward to a pitch
ing duel that will include all the
tricks of the trade. No pitcher in the
American league has perfected the
freak deliveries to a finer degree of
efficiency than Cicotte. For the past
three years his pitching efforts have
caused all kinds of arguments among
American league players. At an age
when most pitchers are slipping. Ci
cotte has come through with the very
best years of his career. American
league ball players can't understand
it, all the more so because Cicotte re
sorts almost entirely to a fast ball
for success. Tabulation has been
kept on Cicotte in a great many
games, and in one very important
contest in which he shut out the op
position with a few hits, he threw
only five curve balls. All the rest
were fast balls, to use the words of
the opposing players, "shine balls."
"Lefty" Williams is one of the very
best southpaws in the American
league. He has fine speed, a corking
curve, a good cross fire. in addi
tion he is
fine fielder, and has the
faculty of keeping the base runners
hugging the sacks. The Reds may be
sure of a most interesting session if
Williams is right, as he usually is.
However, no matter how you
compare the pitching staffs, the edge
is with Cincinnati, for Moran has
quality and more quantity. Yet it re
mains to be seen if Manager Gleason
of the Sox cannot so manipulate his
flingers to make it all even. Some
youngster like Kerr may prove the
big upset of the series. Perhaps
Faber or Bill James will come through
with a win.

BY HARRY M. GRAYSON.
Kid Gleason's White Sox could have
looked no better than did the Beavers
yesterday when they pummeled three
Yipper pitchers while Harstad was
scattering the six hits made by Bill
Rodgers men. Portland evened up
the series two games all. Score
Portland 8, Sacramento 2.
The Macks drove Vance from the
hillock in the opening round, greeting
the tow-headed one with four hits,
one of them a home run by Biff
Schaller with two on the bases. In
addition to being pounded. Vance
added to his troubles by hitting the
first man up and walking one.
Manager Rodgers seemed to doubt
Mr. Vance's ability to retire the side,
as he jerked him after Wes Kingdon's
sharp single had driven the fourth
run across. "Gunner" Larkin, a re
cruit, thereupon took up the task of
pitching and ducking. Larkin retired
to allow Schang to hit for him in the
seventh. During his five innings of
labor Larkin was nicked for six hits
and three runs. Southpaw Klein, who
finished for the enemy, escaped with
but one registration against him.
which came in the eighth on a pair of
doubles by Malsel and Blue.
Beavers Attack at Bat.
Portland won the game in the
opening round, when, in a nonchalant
manner, the local men rapped one of
Sacramento's star pitchers until he
was ordered to the showers. Vance
was abused as was Billy Piercy in the
fifth inning of Thursday's matinee.
The first thing Vance pulled was to
hit Leifer on the knee. Wisterzil's
single shooting the Moosejaw man to
secona.
"Biff" Schaller picked out a good
one and knocked it over the right
garden wall. Vance 'succeeded in re
tiring the next pair of batters, but
walked Siglin, who went to third on
Koehler's single and registered on
Kingdon's smack. Singles by Leifer
and Wisterzil. Schaller's infield out
and the first of three hits by Blue ac
count for the two Beaver runs in
the second.
Blue Receives Shower.
Blue's home run in the fifth, his
second hit and the second homer of
the game, brought a flock of change
from the grandstand. After Blue had
picked up enough to assist him ma
terially in struggling through the
winter, Schaller was called out.
Eldred's walk, Wolter's single
through Blue and Leifer's high throw
to Kingdon permitted Eldred to score
the first Yipper run In the opening
session. Pinelli scored in the second
inning when he walked, went to sec
ond on a wild pitch, to third on Cady's
infield out and home when Blue threw
too late to the plate after fielding
Larkin's grounder.
The contest was played in an hour
and a half. The batting of Wisterzil,
Blue and Pinelli, along with the tet
ter's base running, featured. The

JEFFERSON ELEVEN

Young Business Men Fail to
Stop Rivals' Attack.
SCORING BEGINS EARLY
Youmans and Coulter Prominent
In Vctors Offensive Bookkeep
ers Game to Last Whistle.
The Jefferson High school 1919 in
terscholastic football champions got
off to a flying start for the 1920 title
yesterday on Multnomah field, defeat
ing the High School of Commerce
eleven. 32 to 0. The game was one
sided throughout and even when Coach
Quigley began taking out his first
string men after the first quarter.
Commerce could not score.
Forty-seven Jeff players were out
in uniform. & remarkable showing.
and everyone of them was ready and
capable to step in and hold his own.
The combination of Norman iiip
Youmans and Louis Coulter, quarter
back and left end respectively of the
Jefferson team proved as formidable
yesterday as last season and these
two players recorded between them
four of the five touchdowns regis
tered. Coulter scored three times in
the first quarter while Youmans reg
istered his touchdown in the second
session.
Jefferson Scores Early.
Jefferson scored after the game had
been under way six minutes. Coulter
falling on the ball after it had bounced
over the Commerce goal line after a
series of line plunges, end runs and
passes, which had placed the ball well
into Commerce territory.
Youmans tried for goal but the ball
went wide.
A few minutes later Youmans called
for a pass and shot the ball about 15
yards to Coulter who raced 20 yards
to & touchdown. Youmans missed goal.
The fans had hardly sat down again
when another pass from Y'oumans to
Coulter and a 35-yard run netted an
other touchdown. Coulter tried to
kick goal but failed to lift the ball
between the posts. The first quarter
ended Jefferson 16, Commerce 0.
Youmans attempted a place kick
from Commerce's 35-yard line in the
second quarter, but failed. The ball !
was brought back to the 15-yard line
and went to Commerce.
Commerce Falls to Gain.
The "Bookkeepers" soon lost the
pigskin and Jefferson advanced it
back to within eight yards of the
Commerce goal. A Jeff back fumbled
the ball and Commerce was saved
for the moment. Alf Johnson tried
to punt out to safety but the ball
took a righ angle course off of his
shoe, and after going straight up
careened offside. This took the pep
out of the losers and after a few
stiff line bucks Youmans went around
right end for a touchdown. "Reggie"
Tousey registered one point for goal.
Score: Jefferson 25. Commerce 0.
Art Sutton, Jefferson halfback,
who did not start until the second
half, played a rip-tearing game in
the third quarter and scored the final
touchdown. He scored on a lateral
pass, taking the ball on the toss
from Youmans, racing 15 yards.
Bookkeepers Fight Hard.
Commerce fought hard in the last
quarter and gained more ground than
In all the previous quarters. Grider,
Stringham and Fehse began to pene
trate the Jefferson line, but it was
too late.
The game was replete with thrills,
long runs, bad punts, intercepted
passes, completed passes, and sensa
tional tackles. The Jefferson team
had an edge in weight and showed
marked superiority in everything but
fight, of which both teams had
plenty.
Youmans, Coulter. Staton, Weston.
Julian. Sutton. Lively and Gray played
In the limelight for Jefferson, with
Fehse, Grider, Bastian, Masters and
Smith showing up well for Com
