Jimmy Burke, pilot of the Browns,
picks the White Sox to win the world's
series. Here's what he says:
"There Is no one who can tell Just
how good the White Sox are. Just
when everybody figures them licked
they bob up and pull something that
startles the boys. They have all the
physical elements of the champion,
and they have the brains to make
the nhyslnue amount to something. In
hitting, defense, base stealing, hit and
run piaying tney can put tne work
over, and that It what the fans de
mand. " ,
'The Sox have some of the great
est players In the world on their ball
club. Eddie Collins, I believe, never
had a superior. Weaver ranks with
the great third baseman, and the oth
ers are men of exceptional ability. 1
know of no better center fielder In
the game than Happy Felsch. That
fellow can do a lot of things that no
one ever expects from him. He Is a
ball hawk and has a great arm.
"Chief Interest in the team centers
around the pitching staff, and com
parisons are made between that
bunch and Reuther, Eller, Ring
and Sallee. Eddie Clcotte, or course,
needs no Introduction. He Is one of
the stars of the game. He has some
thing that baffles the opposition, and
his fame is so well established that
even on his off days he gets by. That
Is often the case In baseball.
"Claude Williams is another great
pitcher, and then two of the other
hurlers who are not getting the credit
they deserve are Kerr and Bill James.
I confidently believe that both these
men will win ball games If they get
the chance to pitcn. K.err is a iigm
er, born and bred. He can curve a
glove to the jaw as readily as 'he can
curve a ball to the plate, and he has
all sorts of courage.
" believe that the White Sox will
win the series because they have hit
ting power, they have speed on the
bases, and thev have a flexibility of
power and a recuperatlbe ability that Is
amazing. No bad break is going to
worry that bunch; they have too much
class to be worried by such Incidents
as errors and lucky skipB.
"I am not attempting to belittle the
Reds. They nave estamisnea mem
hpIvph njt chnmnions of the National
league and they must have' a certain
amount of power to accomplish that
feat. No champion ever rose through
luck alone. To be candid, I have not
seen enough or them to iorm a real
opinion, based upon careful comparison.
T hv nwn the White Sox. however.
and I can say that any team that leads
them over the wire is considerable
team.' -
FORMER POPBOY GETS
TRIAL WITH PIRATE8.
Charlie Grimm, who has been pur
chased by the Pirates from the Lit
tle Rock club of the Southern asso
ciation, has had a rapid rise In
baseball. Three years ago he was a
peanut and soda-pop vender In the
Cardinals' par and played semi
pro ball when the Cards were away
from home. Last year he applied
to Jack Hendricks, then manager of
the Cardinals, for a tryout, and
Jack, granting -It, liked the young
ster's looks so well he kept him
around for a time, finally turning
him ovr to Little Rock for further
seasoning. Grimm played a fine
brand of ball In the Southern asso
ciation this year and the Pirate
scouts believe he will show to bet
ter advantage at the Initial sack
than George Whltted. Whltted Is at
present covering first base for the
Smoky City club, and none will be'
more pleased than he If Grimm,
makes good.
How-many people exchange food for
thought.

Watch for Red Faber to Be Dark
Horse In Coming World's Series
Sorrel-Topped. Right-Hander
of White Sox Now Under
Cover and Is Now Being
Groomed by Kid Gleason.
BY BOB PIQUE,
OW many pitchers have
the Chicago WUte Sox to
use against the Cincinnati
Rede in the" approaching
world's series?
The wise ones will an
swer, "three. Clcotte, Wil
Hams and Kerr." Ilut there
Is another one who is vet
t ue accounted tor. Hea Kaber, a
night-hahden, Is his name. Haven't heard
muen or Red lately, but when the Reds
take the field against the Chlcagoan
next month Red is going to come out of
his hiding place and take a fling at
the Redlegs.
Red, It will be remembered, was the
big noise In the world's series of 1917,
when the White Sox triumphed over the
New York Giants. Red won three
games by way of earning his share of
world's series spoils. Since that time,
however, Faber has not shown anything
much as a pltche. Last season found
Kaber In the world war, he joining
early after the season started. After
hslng In the service and following the
signing of the armistice, Red returned
to the White Sox and has been with
them all this season. Up to date he
has won 11 games and lost nine, in ad
dition to finishing up several contests
that were lost.
Hasn't Pitched Lately.
Manager Kid Oleason, of the White
Sox, hasn't used Faber here of late.
The Sox pilot., remembering the great
work that Red did In the big clash of
1917, Is working on him now, ironing out
the kinks and grooming him for the big
attack upon the Reds. Since the se
ries has been extended to nine games.
Manager Gleason realises that he will
have to have more than three nitchers
to cope with the Redleg Outfit, so he Is
getting Faber ready to do his part in
etonnlng the Cincinnattans.
Faber pitched invincible ball against
the Giants In 1917 in the big battles
and showed that when It came to
pitching for a big money purse he had
all that any pitcher should have, with
a little bit added. He was the biggest
hero of the series beyond question, for
ii was nis great mouna work that
brought the world's title to Chicago.
Manager Gleason has Eddie Clcotte
and Claude Williams groomed for the
nrsi two games, witn iuck Kerr neid
in reserve. Clcotte is a right-hander,
while Williams and Kerr are portslders.
Another good right-hander la needed by
Gleason, and with four good pitchers
two right-handers and two or the off
side variety the White Sox will have
no rears at entering tne big series
against the Reds. Pat Moran, of Cln-
White Sox Will Have Schalk,
With Rariden and Wingo
reforming for Oincy.
CINCINNATI, Q. Sept. 24. One
catcher will do all the work for the
White Sox In the big series, but two
maskmen will perorm for Cincinnati.
Pat Moran says that the alternation of
Wingo and Rariden, In vogue all the
season, with great results, will not be
changed for the series. Wingo will work
whenever the White Sox have a right
hand pitcher on the hill, Rairden will
be there whenever a left-hander tries
his curves. The two eatchers have
played In almost the same number of
games and both have done splendid
work all summer. Wingo has the high
est batting average, but Ralrden's raps
have been of the timely pattern. Both
have thrown well and both are mar
vels in chasing foul flies.
Even to the last, the Reds made a
poor defense against the double Bteal
and the squeeze play. Dosens of runs
were Bcored against them on these two
tricks, and they have lost many of their
games through one or the other of
these plays in the ninth Inning. Pat
Moran Is hoping to find an effective
way of blocking the squeeze and double
steal, even this late In "the year, and
is making Wingo, Rariden, Rath and
Kopf go through some 'special prac
tice every day. John Kllng, who Is an
extremely good friend to Pat Moran
and- Is coming on for the series, will
be asked to come out, if he arrives
early, and show the Reds .the way he
used to stop the double steal. Never
was there another catcher who could
head off and confute that play as
Kllng was wont to do, and John's ad
vice may mean something In the time
of need. . ...":.,, 1
M. G. 0. WINS THIRTEEN
Murphy, (leers and Cox won 1S of
the 18 races contested at Poughkeepsle
recently. They represent the strongest
"money getting combination" that has
ever appeared on the trotting turf and
no one can jiull the Sherman act on

Club, Has Turned Out
BY OSCAR C, BEICHOW.
CHICAGO, Sept"2t.-!-Manager Pat
Moran is going to lead the Cincinnati
Reds into the world's series next
month with a raw recruit, a minor
leaguer who has hardly had time to
earn his spurs, playing left field. It
seldom has happened that a player
fresh from the bushes, and In the
league slightly over a month, Is ex
pected to play a significant part in the
championship event. Experienced play
ers are wanted by the pilots, but when
circumstances force them to use a re
cruit they have no hesitancy In doing
so. This Is Moran's dilemma before
going Into the title event.
Moran has not had what one might
term a real first-class left fielder all the
season. He started out with Sherwood
Magee, a veteran, slow of foot, a fair
thrower and hitter, playing that partic
ular garden. Magee being an expe
rienced outfielder took care of all the
drives and high flies In a manner that
made many youngsters look upon hi m
with envy. Suddenly he was taken sick
with a severe case of Influenza and
was confined to his bed for several
weeks. When he got up he was so
weak he was unable to play and has
not regained his normal condition.
Therefore Moran cannot count on his
taking an active part in the world's
scries,
tries to Get Outfielder.
When Magee was taken sick Moran
wired every club In the league for an
outfielder, but none was forthcoming.
Not a 'club w;,s willing to help hliu
because It was known he had a strong
team and that It was hard enough to
beat It without giving him some help.
Moran dickered for Les Mann and Dode
Paskert, of the Cubs, but was unable to
secure them. He even tried to get
Mann from the Boston Braves after the
Cubs traded him to Stalllngs with
Charlie Pick for Charlie Hersog, but
the Braves demanded too much in re
turn and the deal was never consum
mated. There was nothing left for Manager
Moran to do but to select a man from
his team to fill Magee's shoes. He did
not have an over-ahundance of mate
rial and had to select a pitcher, Rube
Bressler, to play left field. Bressler, It
must be said, did capable work In the
field and also at the plate, but Moran
could not keep him there because he
needed him to bolster up his pitching
staff, which gave signs of weakening
shortly after the middle of the season,
so he convinced President Herrmann
Huge Crowd at Kilbane
Bout Broke All Records
NEW YORK. Sent. 24 The attend
ance at the "Teddy" Edwards boxing
show promoted by Dave Drlscn! at the
Jersey City Baseball park last Tuesday
night, when 46,800 persons were check
ed off as present, set a new world's
record for attendance at a boxing
match.
Previous to last Tuesday the record
was held bv the Ocean A. C, which
held the Mike Oihbons-Packy McFar
land bout at Brighton beach on Sept.
11, 191S. when a total paid admission
of 28.092 wss accounted for, with 1,247
complimentary tickets bringing up the
total to 27,339. The paid attendance
st'the Jeffrlee-Johnson , championship
battle at Reno on July 4, 1910, was
15.768, with a gross attendance of con
siderably less than 20.000. The attend
ance at the Wlllard-Dempsey bout at
Toledo, on July . 4, of this year was
about 20.000.
No Accidents.
Three of the outstanding features of
the bout at Jersey City were that there
were no accident or casualties, no ar
rests were necessary, every seat holder
got the seat his ticket called for and
the crowd was the most orderly and
well-behaved that ever attended a box
ing match In this country.
Another remarkable thing about It
was that It was all accomplished In
a little less than three weeks.
Dave Drlscoll, the man who did the
promoting and, with Mayor Frank
Hague, had charge of the arrangements
for the Hudson County Democratic
committee, which backed the show, Is
sued a statement recently revealing the
record-breaking affair.
Forced to Hustle.
"When Mayor Frank Hague first ap
proached me with the suggestion of
holding the Burna-KUbane bout," said
Drtscol, "he named a date for the
match that waa less than three week
away, I Immediately want after JU1-
sidered by those who have been doping
out the Reds' chances to beat the Sox
out of the flag. Kaber has had a com
paratively poor year no far and the
wise ones have decided that he Is all
through. But watch him In the coining
series. Kaber will pitch the swoono
or third game against the Rods, more
than likely the third. Clcotte will prob
ably pitch the first, Williams the sec
ond, Faber the third und Kerr the
fourth.
Kaber, while a bear of a pitcher In
the 1917 world's sorlea, carved for him
self a niche in the hall of bone during
the big classic. He joined John An
dersons club, and stole a base with
the bag already occupied. However,
the bone play was forgotten when he
turned in such an excellent pitching
card.

. Scout McCann was sent out to get a
right-handed hitting outfielder, one who
had the ability to slam the ball with
power and who alao knew how to field,
McCann was not asked to consider
money, for the Reds were willing to pay
nny price to get the right man, or
one who had some ability. The minor
leagues were smured thoroughly and
two men were unearthed. One was
Charley Pee, of Rochester, and the oth
er was Pat Duncan, of Birmingham.
Which one to select was a toss-up, hut
after learning of the excellent qualifi
cations Herrmann decided to purchase
both to protect the club, figuring: that
If one did not make good the other
would. Herrmann was not. mistaken In
his judgment and for paying $10,000 for
See and $5,000 for Duncan.
Duncan, the cheaper man, made
good and Is the one who will play left
field for the Reds In the world's series.
He has showi Manager Moran so much
stuff In every department of the game
that he seems to be a fixture In the
left field, lie Is only a rscrult, but
hep taken to his task with so much
enthusiasm that he has advanced with
rapidity and has proved an apt pupil
under Moran. Duncan has been seen

against the Cuba Impi eased the local
fans and convinced them that the Rdi
will no be weak ln left field unless
the youngster Is bothered with etnge
fright, but It Ih not expected that he
will be judging from the way he has
taken up the major league work.
Duncan Proves to Be Star.
In the Inst series the Reds played
with the Cubs Duncan was not easily
fooled at the plate and fanned only
once In the four games. He got two
hlts-'bff Kneed Martin, two bases on
halla off Vaurhn. a single off Carter
and one off Hendrlx. Alexander was
the onlv one he failed to nit sateiy, nui
even tlie Cub star did not strike him
out. .,
The youngster has confidence In his
own ability and crashes into the hall
with tremendous power. Ho does not
pull away at the plate and seems to
have the knack of flitting to right field

such huge proportions that entries are
becoming ai-aice.

SAYS JOHNSON HAD
THE PAIS OF
Cannot Be Rubbed Away With
Liniments.
You who are afflicted with
this rriost painful disease who
know from experience just
liow excruciating its panp;s
are get this fact fixed firmly
in your mind, and it will aid
you in finding a way to a com
plete . recovery. Rheumatism
cannot be rubbed away with
liniments, its pains and
pangs cannot, be wiped out as
if by magic. A disease that is
so full of torture and finally
renders its victims so helpless,
is a deep-seated one; it is not
on the surface, hence it cannot
be reached by external, sur
face remedies. This is no the
ory,', for your own experience
doubtless has shown you that
you can never expect to rid
yourself of the disease in this
way.
For the chances are that
you, like thousands of other
sufferers, have been misled in
to the hope that, liniments, lo
tions and other applications
would cure your rheumatism.
But what has been your ex
perience? The pains possibly
have been lessened for the
time being, but have they not
promptly returned, often with
increased severity, and are you
really any nearer a cure than
before? You certainly are not,
and you never will be as long
as you rely upon treatment
that at best is merely a make
shift. See what Mr. J. L. Agnew.
of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, says of
what S. S. S. did for his rheu
matism :
"For ten years I ' was badly
afflicted with Rheumatism, the
ptlns In my knees, legs and
ankle being almost unbearable.
I tried various remedies with
out results, until a physician ad
vised me to use S. S. S., stating
that the disease was In the
blood. After taking a few bot
tles the pln and soreness were
greatly lessened. I continued thl
medicine until all pain, soreness
and Inflammation were gone,
and I wa completely cured."

TITLE NEXT WEEK
Women's Golf Tournament to
Be Staged Over Shawnee
Links: Southerner Won Her
Laurels Three Years Ago
It may h that when the women's
championship golf tournament I held
oxer the Shawnee Country club links,
the week of Se,,t. 29. Miss Alexa Stir
Ing will be able to accomplish what
harles Rvana, Jr.. failed to do. Both'
of these golfers held the championship
titles over the war period, Mlsa Stirling
winning at Belmont Spring three years
i.',1. Kvns capturing the open at
Mlnlkahtla and the amateur at Merlon
the same season.
Kven after the Chicago golfer failed
to retain his open title at Braebiirn
early In June there were those who ,
Insisted that he -would again show the
way in the aaiateur classic at Oak
niont, but Frami Oulmet proved too
great an obstacle. ,
There are a great many who believe
that the Shawnee meeting will produoa
a new champion, although there Is na
particular reason for this assertion ex
ceptlng thst the national amateur at
Pittsburgh was full of onsets owing to
the many new players entering the field.
The women's tournament will also have
new p'ayers who have come to the
front during the past few years, and
It la difficult to get a line on their
game.
Hven under ordinary circumstances,
one guess Is as good as another until
the contest has narrowed down to the
closing time. When It Is considered that
It la three vears since Miss Stlrltng woni
the chamnlonship and that aince that
time she has taken part In few tourna
ments, It Is Impossible to predict just '
what she I capnble of. It Is reason
able to aasume that the Atlanta girl
la playing as well as ever, and ther
Is no doubt that she will be on hand
to defend her title.
Among the previous champions wh
will put In an appearance at Shawnee
are Mrs. Clarencj H. Vanderheck, win
ner In 1915, and Mi. H. Arnold Jack
son, tltleholder in 1914. Both of thene
women are said to be on their game,
while Miss Marlon Holllns and Mrs.
W. A. Gavin, champion and runner
up respectively in the recent metro
,'iolltnn event at Areola, have been prao
ticlng aalduously at Shawnee during '
the past few weeks.
Mrs. Oavln play the course well and
her score of 87, made In competition
with Miss Holllns, Is the best heard of
lately. Prior to that she had an 89,
and on both occasions Miss Holllns
was only a stroke or two wore.
It Is not thought that any of the
Memphis flock will be listed among
the starters. At the same time thev
may exercise the female prerogative
and kick In at the last moment.
Par for the Shawnee circuit l 73,
37 out and 36 home, but the woman '
fortunate enough to get around In bet
ter than 90 will have every reason to
feel proud. If (he present distance re
mains unchanged It will mean a plsv
Ing length of 6,471 yards. Besides the
match round each day, special attrac
tions hav been aclieduled for everv
afternoon. The Shawnee Country club
will present the awards for these
events.
EDUCATION FALLING OFF.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S4.-Kducatlon
in Mexico seem to be going backward
Instead of forward on the hasia of re
ports received here through official
channels. The bureau of education In
the federal district of Mexico ha an
nounced the closing of 2i!4 school be
irauae of a shortage of funds. It la estl
mated 160,000 children hav been de
prived thereby of educational facili
ties slightest experience with rheu
matism will continue to suffer '
and grow worse until they are
f- n- J
imaiiy practically iicipiess, un
less they realize that the dis
ease must be combated at its
source. Rheumatism is often a
diseased condition of the blood,
the disease attacks the body
through the blood, hence the
system can be rid of its pains
only after the blood has been
cleansed of the germs of the .
disease.
Lotions, liniments and oint
ments, applied to the surface
may in some cases deaden the
pain for the time being, but
until you attack the disease at
its foundation, you are making
no progress toward a curt,
and you are permitting the
trouble to get a firmer hold on
your system every day. This
is one reason why Rheumatism
is usually a permanent disease,
staying with its victims year
after year. Getting rid of the
disease is merely a matter
of treating it intelligently.
Knowing that it cannot be
cured by external applications,
it is folly to rely upon such
treatment.
S. S. S. is without questi
the most thorough blood medi
cine ever made, and it cleanses
the blood of every impurity and
disease germ. That is why it
Bcldom fails to give satisfac
tory results in even the sever
est cases of Rheumatism. Be
ing purely vegetable without a
particle of mineral or chemical
in its composition, it works by
eliminating and forcing out of
the blood all impurities, acting
as a tonic to the entire system
at the same time. It has been
in use for more than fifty years
and thousands of sufferers
from rheumatism give it un
stinted praise.
You are invited to write our,
medical department for full in
formation and advice about the
treatment of your own case,
for which no charge is made.
