Year of Great Upsets May
End With Moran Victory
Dempsey, Johnston and Herron Came Through
Unexpectedly, and the Reds Are Likelj to
Do Likewise Against the White Sox
By Ray McCarthy
Moat of the experts are picking the White Sox to win the world's
series. That is one of the reasons why I favor the Red3. This has been a
year of upsets. Go back over the records of sporting events since the
armistice was signed and you will see that nearly all of the favorites have
succumbed. Few figured on Dempsey beating Willard. Not many figured
Johnston capable of winning the tennis championship, and Herron wasn't
r ?rivtm a Irtnlr-'n fr\r fKa tvn]f /?-i-/vn:n Anil an if rrnoa
Listen to the supporters of the^
White Sox and you'll begin to believe j
the Rods have a lot of nerve in daring
to contend for big honors. Vou are j
made to think they will bo lucky to
score a run. All of which makes me |
think they will score several.
I confess the dope doesn't augur j
very well for the Wildmen. When |
these statisticians finish their work j
next week they will have shown where
the Chicagoans are so much superior j
to their rivals that Cincinnati hasn't i
a ghost of a chance.
Gives Reds Good Chance
That's all very well on paper, but
playing games on paper and playing;
them on the Held are quite different.
I believe the Reds have a chance, an
excellent chance, and what is more 11
look for them to come through and
land the honors.
My judgment for so thinking is not
Lnsed on ligures. Statistics, to my
mind, are not worth a fig in the base
hail worth They sometimes help one
to gauge tho ability of a player, but
they tail to show Lhe real worth of
any performer?-and they are very de?
ceiving in most cases in diamond
doings, i favor the Reds wholly from
observations; fron? what I saw of their
play as compared to the Sox this
season.
The first trip tho Beds made through
this part of the country they looked
no better than any other club in the
league, and not nearly as well as the
Giants. When next they tramped
through this city they were an entirely
different ball club. It was as though
a miracle had been wrought. The
minute the boll rang for the game
they were off.
They put the other team on the de?
fensive from the start. They rushed
the attack and once in motion shifted
their tactics like a prizefighter shifts
when he has his opponent slipping.
They bunted, they sacrificed, they
played the hit and run, they ran bases
with thoir heads up at all times, they
stole bases when it came time to steal
? -in short, they neglected not one
opportunity to advance runners or to
m runs. And all the time their
defence was as strong and as steady as
the United States army. Small wonder.
I thought, they are grabbing so many
victories.
Pitchers Show (ri> Well
And their pitchers! How they had
improved! Sallce, Ruether, Filer, Ring
and Luque all showed excellent form,
especially in their last tour of this
section.
Now as to the White Sox. The. are
a smart, hustling ball club. The play?
ers are on their toes every minute and
have plenty of punch. But the White
Sox looked no better to me in August
than they did last May. The White
Sox are not as fast on the bases as the
Reds, and this I believe to be as much
as BO per cent of a team's attack.
Comparing Gleason and Pat Moran
admits or shows nothing. Both are
great managers who have reached their
objectives. Comparing players doesn't

Ho*w does the nine act aa a whole?
That's the big question. If they are co?
operating and playing together aa a
unit, with plenty of confidence and
speed, tbcv have an excellent chance to
win, and I believe the Reds are that
kind of a team, more so than Lhe White
Sox.
