Risberg was with the club in 1917,
but was benched by Manager Rowland
for the world s series owing to his
erratic playing.
Chicago, September 26.—When “Kid'
Gleason succeeded Clarence Rowland a«
manager of the Chicago Americans and
started the 1919 season with the same
lineup that finished sixth in the 1918 pen
rant race, after winning the world's
championship in 1917, few baseball ex
perts figured that the White Sox would
win the American league flag this sea
eon.
But that is what has happened and the
"wise ones" are offering all sorts ol
reasons for the startling reversal of form
They say that playing under a new lead
er was a contributing factor, hut al
agree that perhaps the main one was
that the players themselves entered the
game this season with a renewed con
fidence following the termination of the
world war. Last season a majority ol
the White Sox were expecting to be
called into military service any day, and
this with the classification of basebal
,as “nonessential" was a disturbing sit
uation.
- The 1918 White Sox was a team grind
^rng over the pennant road minus some oi
its main cogs. Joe Jackson, the club’s
leading batter this season, went into the
shipyards after batting .354 for sever
games; Oscar "Happy” Felsch quit the
club after playing in 53 games; Pitchei
Faber enlisted in the navy .after winning
five of six games, while Pitcher Claude
Williams went to work in the shipyards
when he had won six and lost foui
games. The loss of these four players
proved a staggering blow.
Added to this loss, Eddie Cicotte, the
veteran right-handed and leading pitcher
in 1917, was in a slump during the en
tire season, winning only 12 games and
losing 19. But it was a different Cicotte
this season. His remarkable comeback
has been vone of the sensations of the
year and fiis effective pitching is one ol
the chief reasons why the White Sox
finished out in front.

Lewi? li. (alias Pat) Duncan, Cincin- j

O., October fi, 1893, and hence will be i
-u years old a week from next Tuesday, i
Patricio. ' made his debut in profes
sional baseball with the Flint, Mich..
team in 1913, and played in the Central
league until 1915, when Pittsburg bought
him from Grand Uaplds. On February
(1, 1917, the Pirates released him to itSr
mingham, but during the early season
he broke his leg sliding into a base and
was out of the game for most of the
season.
Last year Duncan played great ball
here, but never came into his own until
this season, when he was rated as the
best right-handed batter In the Southern
league. Scout eGne McCann of the J
Reds saw Duncan work at Kirkwood
and immediately decided he was the man j
that Moran needed to beat the Sox in j
the world's series, so the Karon outfielder j
was bought six weeks ago. lie brought I
more money than an southern player j
sold to the majors this year, but he has !
already demonstrated his value and |
Cincy fans are counting on him to pla.v j
an important part in the “croocial ser
ious" beginning Wednesday.
