HOW THE BIGTEAMS SIZE UP ON EVE OF

THE ANNUAL CLASSIC FOR WORLD TITLE
la comparing the offensive or
attacking strength of two ball
Is not much leas important than
clubs the question of base running
that of hitting.
The club which gets men on
liases and can't get them around
is,no bettei off than the team
that can't get them on.
Baserunning today is a highly
cultivated art, hut In spite of tho
attention paid to it managers have
never bean successful In making
great base runners out of men
who have not the natural ability.
Cobb is an example. There are
.many men In the league who are
faster, but his natural inborn
ability makes him the greatest of
them all on the paths.
Chicago has the greatest base
runuer !n this world series in Ed
die Collins, than whom there are
few better base runners in either
league. In this department he
outclasses Burns, the best path
Amateurs Fi^ht
Sunday For the
Season's Title
Tacomans who like good base
ball will have their last chance of
the season to see a game Sunday,
when the C. & B. — Ideals and
Knights of Columbus teams mix at
Athletic park for the city amateur
title.
Theaa teams, representing tho
best baseball talent In the city,
have wrangled for two months
over their relative merits. At last
a game has been planned, and the
teams have agreed that the con
test shall determine which team
Is entitled to the season's pennant
for Independent teams.
Both clubs have won many
games this season, and are in
prime condition for a hard battle.
After Sunday both teams will dis
band.
Hearing reports that the Knights
were planning to "load up" their
team with outsiders. "Pinky" Sev
erence, manager of the Ideals,
made arrangements Saturday to
also put "ringers" In the game. If
necessary.
It was reported that Billy Mar

Counting Burns out the' Whits
Sojc have at least three men other
than Collins superior to any
Giant, general base running, not
base stealing being considered.
They are Hap Felsch, Buck
Weaver and Nemo Leibold, any of
whom will keep Giant pitcUers
and catchers busy.
_ There Is another element
which wUI make the Bo_
nvoro rlang«*rous on bases
than (Hants—Kay Sohalk.
Tho (Hants will not steal
lia.sc, on Schalk—it isn't
done with any kind of r_g
ularlty by any club.
I'l.c White Sox may steal
bases on MctJJarty and lUrl
den, both of whom are good
catchers, but neither of
wh<nn is np to tho standard
of the little (^ilrnKoaii.
There has been little base run-1
ning In past world series, mainly!
hand to help the Knights out. So
Severence will have Oscar Jensen
and Al Itfnnlug on the grounds,
ready to play for the Ideals If any
outsiders join the opposing club.
The correct lineup follow*;
Ideals —Severence, c; Dicker
son, p; Lick, lb; Danielson, ss;
Keffler, 3b; Kelly, 2b; Adams,
cf; Clearwater, rf; Elkins, If;
Llbke and Browns, sutis.

because managers have favored
tight rather than open baseball In
tho 'big event. If we remember
rightly Cobb stole everything but
Gibson's glove In the Detroit-
Plttsburg series of 1909, but that
was an exception. Collins might
do that this year, It's not impos
sible, but Its scarcely probable
that any of the others will.
The Sox have a good edge in
the baserunnlng department, if
they play up to their season form.
BOXING SEASON OPENS NEXT THURSDAY
Frankie Sanders, One Boxer, Has Record Mile Long
EAGLES TO STAGE MANY CLEVER BOUTS
When Eddie Quinn of Tacoma
meets Frankie Sanders of Eliza
beth, New Jersey, In a four-round
battle before ttie Eagles Thursday
night, he will, be tackling the
toughest scrapper that he ever
faced In a ring. Until today, when
part of Sanders' record arrived In
Tacoma, little was known hare of
the bantam. . But the dope now
takes on a very different aspect.
Sanders hae been-baxtng since
October, 1008, when he started in
New York, and since that time he
has taken part In more than 150
battles, winning a goodly propor
tion of them.
His longest fight was for 20
rounds, in Wirt, Oklahoma, where
he defeated Frankie Manilla. He
has fought half of his battles l>o
twoen the 10 and 20 round limits,
starting his career In New Jersey
and working west until ttmmktt
he took up residence In, Seattle.
Eddie Qulnn will give him plen
ity of trouble, for Eddie is a bor
i ing-!n, rugged boxer. Whether
| Sanders' greater experience will
I give him an advantage over the
Tacoman remains to be seen.
