American Leaguers I
Lead in Big Series
Teams From Johnson Circuit
Have Won Eight of
Thirteen Classics
i
Regardless of the outcome of the
coming world's Beries the lead secured
in recent years by the American
League teams is sufficient to hold the
National League in check though the
senior league standard bearers were
lo capture, the baseball classic in the
easiest possible fashion. The clash of
1918 will be the fourteenth under the
t'uspices of the National Commission,
and of the thirteen series which are
now part of diamond history the Amer?
ican League clubs have won eight, while
five have been the portion of the Na?
tional.
The last victory by a National League
team was the record performance of
the Boston players in 1914, when the
Braves swept the Philadelphia Ath
? letics before them in four straight
] gamos, which caused the eventual dis?
ruption of tho famous Shibe Park base?
ball machine. Previous to that time
the record for the shortest serios was
held by the Chicago Nationals of 1007.
| In that year the team, led by Krank
; Chance, defeated the -Detroit Ameri?
cans, four games to none, but the
j series required five contest?, as tho
opening game resulted in a !i to 3 tie.
Hut onii other series developed a tie
game. This occurred in the meeting
of the New York Nationals and the
Hoston Americans in the memorable
conflict of 1912. This series, which
still holds the record for the number
of Rames, attendance and gate receipts,
went full eight contests before the Bos?
ton Red Sox emerged victors.
More than a quarter of a million of
fana attended the games and the gate
receipts were a trine more than $400,
000. Each player on the winning
team received $4,024, while the losing
Giants found balm for their defeat in
the fact that their end amounted to
$2,5(56 per man.
Although the American League teams
hold a safe margin in series won, the
total in games and runs is far closer.
Of the seventy-two games played in the
thirteen series to date, the junior
league teams have won thirty-seven
and the National League clubs thirty
three, while two ended in ties. The
lead in run? is almost as narrow, for
the American League teams have
amassed a total of 24-! in the seventy
two games to the Nationals' 239.
The following shows the result of
each series since 1905, when the Na?
tional Commission assumed charge of
the post-season play, giving tho games
won anil runa made by the winning and
los'ing teams:

Seattle Jap Team Bound
For Orient to Play Ball
A Seattle Japanese baseball team is
going to sunny Japan to show the home
folks how the American national game
is played. The Asahi, composed of thq
pick 'of the Oriental diamond stars in
the Northwest, will leave on a tour
which will last six months.
The Japanese team is not the best
amateur aggregation, but it can give I
any of them a battle. With a record of
fifteen games won and nine lost for the
| season, the Asahi have shown that they j
rank well with the American players.
While a little weak in batting, the little '
fellows are wonderful fielders, fast and
good base runners.
Fukuda, who was cashier in a Seattle
bank, is managing the team. The club
will play more than thirty games.
Among the crack teams they will meet
are the Keio, the Waseda and the Meiji
University teams. These three have
made tours in this country.

bor Day afternoon. "Buster" Coughlin,
who beat l.-ham before, is due to twirl

Bezdek to Give
Penn State Men
Mass Athletics
STATE COLLEGE, PENN., Aug. 31.
?When Hugo Bezdek, the Pittsburgh
Pirates' manager and former Pacific
Coast athletic director, comes to the
Pennsylvania State College next week
as the head 'of physical education he
will foster above all other sports activ?
ities recreational athletics for the en?
tire student body. He will not spe?
cialize as the coach of Perm ' State's
intercollegiate teams.
Iiis chief ta?ik will be that of a di?
rector and organizer of massed ath?
letics, in which the physical develop?
ment of the individual student will be
emphasized rather than the produc?
tion of teams of highly specialized
athletes. Every student in the insti?
tution?and there will be about 1,800
of them next year?will be required to
participate in some form of outdoor
sport, with Bezdek personally super?
vising his activities.
Under Bezdek's guiding hand all ol
Penn State's intercollegiate athletic
teams will be continued ' and encour?
aged. They will continue to meet op?
ponents from representative colleges
and universities.
He will have a corps of qualitiei
assistants to carry out much of th(
teams coaching, but everywhere ir
State's sports programme the tean
deVclopment idea will be subordinatec
to the broad principle of physica
training for the mas? ol undergrad
uates. It is planned to have boxing
and wrestling featured as the two
chief forms of recreational athletips.
Large groups of students will be en?
gaged in these sports simultaneously,
with Bezdek and his assistants con?
stantly on hand watching the work.
Scheme an Innovation
Penn State's new physical training
scheme is regarded as an innovation
in collegiate athletic circles. Few col?
leges in this country yet have intro?
duced a similar system that looks
toward dual faculty control of physical
education and intercollegiate athletics.
His rank as associate professor of
physical education and athletics srives
Bezdek the unusual position of foot?
ball, basketball and baseball coach,
with a faculty standing. He is charged
with absolute control of -State's new
athletic policy.
Bezdek will model his recreative
sports ?plan after the army cantonment
system of recreation. . This will be
t-uu?iorl closely during a tour of East?
ern camps next woek. He will assume
his active dutif ? here with the re?
opening of college September 11. .
State's new athletic head is a prod?
uct of the Stagg system at the Uni?
versity of Chicago, where he played
football for 'three years. He was
graduated in 1905. Later he served
as an assistant to Stagg at Chicago,
and subsequently coached at the Uni?
versity of Avkaneas. His fame ?s a
gridiron mentor and physical educator
came to the East, however, after he
doveloped remarkable teams at the
University of Oregon during, the last
five years.

Cubs Have Big Advantage Playing
First Games on Home Grounds
Little to Choose Between
Two Contenders on Real
Merits of Teams
By W. !J.: Macbeth
I SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y.f Aug.
31.?The Chicago Cubs are particularly
favored by fortune in the arrange?
ments that have been made for the
world series this- year. They will play
the first three games of the title contest
in Chicago, and one who has seen the
enthusiasm of the Windy City in a
world series can appreciate what home
support really means.
The advantage of playing the first
three games at home is somewhat off?
set in this particular instance by th?
fact that the games will be played
at Comiskoy Park. The Red Sox hav?
ing played at the South Side park for
years will, of course, be more familiar
with tin- eccentricities of the lot than
the Cubs can hope to be.
Aside from the schedule advantage
there is littlo to choose between the
teams. Both are possessed of wonder?
fully strong pitching. Both are pos?
sessed of good catchers to back up that
pitching. Both are only average fair
on the whole elsewhere.
Doubtlesa Vaughn and *Tyler will
work the entire series for the Chicago
Cubs. The schedule favors this.
Weather being favorable in the early
games in Chicago- there will be a lay
oft* of two days, between the closing
game in the Windy City and the open?
ing -jame in the Hub.
Weak With Southpaws
Boston has shown a weakness against
good southpaw pitching all season.
Consequently Manager Mitchell is like?
ly to feed the Backbav boys nothing
but portable tossing. Manager Ed Bar?
row, of the Bostons, is more fortunate,

so far as numbers go, in box men. Phil !
Douglas and Claude Hendrix are de
pendable twirlers, though not likely,
either of them, to s ta at in this particu- ?
lar classic, Boston has a formidable
array of pitching class: Babe Ruth,
Carl Mays, Bullet Joe Bush and Sammie
Jones, the latter the real pitching sen?
sation of the year.
Ruth is one of the big aces of the \
Red Sax? because of his slugging pro- :
pensities. He will play the outtied in |
all the games in which he does not
pitch, and he is liable to pitch less
often than in any other series in which
the Red Sox'have figured; for the Cubs j
are not, supposedly, weak against left- j
handed pitching. Six of their regulars ,
are right-handed swatters. It, there- !
fore, would appear that Bullet Joe ?
Bush, Sammie Jones and Carl "Mays, ;
with his tantalizing underhand fire, are
likely to be the main guns of Boston
in their assaults against the Cubs in
Chicago.
Plenty of Pitcher?
It will be seen that both teams are
admirably provided with pitching talent
in this limited series. Chicago, in Kil
lifer, has the best catcher of the Na?
tional League and a shade advantage
over Wallie Schang. the Red Sox back-1
stop. Both clubs are strong in the out- I
field, Chicago with Mann, Flack and ;
Paskert, and Boston with Hopper,
Strunk and Ruth. Ruth, because of j
his clouting ability, is a whole outfield >
in himself.
The rival infields are just fair to j
middling. Both teams are' possessed j
of sensational shortstops. Hollocher, !
of the Cubs, is the season's find of all
the infielders. Scott of the Red Sox
needs no introduction. He has had
experience in world series and always
plays his be3t, with high stakes in?
volved. The teams, too, are both strong
at first base. Stuffy Mclnnis guards j
the first bast? for Boston, and our old |
friend Fred Merkle, about to engage ;
in his fifth world series, is at the rival
position with the Cubs. . '
At second base both teams are only i
ordinary, even if one wishes to flatter j
the players involved. Shean and Zei?
der are. neither of them much as sec- j
ond basemen; the same goes for DeaF
and Coffey at third. I
In the matter of playing strength
and battery strength for such a limited
> ?
Mitchell Will Use His Great
Southpaws to Get Start
in Serir-s
! scries the clubs appear to be t toss
? up. Chicago has a groat advantage in
? schedule. Mitchell should be able to turn
! this advantage to the greatest account,
! but he must win at home, if he win??.
' at all. It looks like a National Luague
' year to the writer, granting that the
i well known breaks favor each club
i equally.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 31.?John?
ny Schiff, a clever featherweight a few
years ago, but who developed into a
lightweight, and who has fought many
of the best feathers and }33-pounders

years with the Canadian contingent.
This time he is with the Ambulance

the little boxer dated in Italy. In it
he says:
"Here I am again, alive and well, but
sleeping in tents with mother earth
as my bed. Lizards, snakes and Other
animals greet me at times, but every?
thing goes in war times. I have had
some thrilling times of late and, be?

glad to be f.ble to do my share.
"We have had no time for boxing, nor
i boxing news, but there is a lui! now ?
and we may get busy. There are som.? I
good boxers with our bunch and we will j
have some real matches. The Italians '
are strong for boxing, and after this
thing is over you can bet there will
be schools for the teaching of the rim:

Ed Barrow to Go to War
Regardless of 1919 Ball
BOSTON, Aug. 31.--Manager Ed Bar?
row of the Red Sox will go to France
next season if the war continues, and
this intention on hu part has nothing
to do with whether big league baseball
or a modified sort of professional base?
ball is being played here in 1919.
He said to-day that he would try tu
get into the chemical war work branch
of the service, but, failing that, would
volunteer for Y. M. C? A. werk or f'
anything which his Uncle Sam would
let him do over there in back of or in
