SPORTLIGHT i I First Pale Sox Surge Won Pennant By GRANTLAND RICE ' The new White Sox stampede, which the wearers of the Pale Hose started some time back, recalled again the first White Sox rally which won a pennant and later a world series back In 1906, a mat-ter of 45 years ago. The 1951 charge is led largely by fine pitching, as well as consistent all around play. It Is also a stir-ring tribute to They had the brilliant Johnny Kling back of the bat; Three-Fing- er Brown, Ed Reulbacb, Jack Pfeister and others In the box; Chance, Evers, Tinker and Steinfeldt In the infield; plus a star outfield. They looked unbeatable. But what the populace at large over-looked was the Sox pitching staff. Ed Walsh was just coming Into his own as the greatest spltball star of all time. Two years later be won 40 games and saved 12 others; working In 60 games that season. Doc White was the sole Ty Cobb nemesis. Nick Altrock was another star. There was one funny development as the series started. There was a big Irishman named Fog Flnnegan who had been a hot Cub rooter. Fog worked in a saloon on the West Side near the ball park. 'Most of the players or many of them were his friends. Just before the first game started. Fog stood up and shouted: "Two hundred dollars on the West Side." There were no takers. So Finnegan tried again: "Three hundred dollars on the West Side." Still no takers. Then the batteries were an-nounced: For the West Side Reulbach and Kling. For the South Side Walsh and Sullivan. Fog Finnegan swallowed twice, leaped again to his feet, and called out: "Five hundred on the South Side them's the byes." It has been a long, long time since the White Sox have had the chance to wipe out that 1919 series, where the white suddenly changed to black. They have been shooting at a recovery, now a matter of 32 years. The Other DiMaggio More than a few pieces for news-papers and magazines have been written about Lou Gehrig's long span under Babe Ruth's gigantic shadow. Big Lou of Columbia and the Yankees drew more than normal cheering during his brilliant career, but no one can doubt that his part-nership with Ruth was on the junior side. There was only one Babe Ruth. In the same way, there is no ques-tioning the fact that a better than fair player is known as Dominic, No one can doubt that Dom, as good as he is, isn't quite another Joe. Dom is about 30 or 35 points back of his older brother when it comes to his lifetime batting aver-age. But Dom is just about as good an outfielder as Joe or anyone else. The two DiMaggios and Terry Moore are the best centerfielders I've seen since Tris Speaker, and all three are up around the Speak-er class. Grantlano Rict manager Paul Richards, who has turned in an amazing job, whatever happens later on. At the time of the first White Sox upheaval, we were toiling in the Cleveland vineyard where Larry Lajoie was in charge. Late in July or early August, Cleveland had a good chance to win the pennant. The White Sox Hitless Wonders were in seventh place, and rapidly going no-where. Then suddenly it began to nap-pe- a The helpless Sox began to win game after game, until they had won 19 in a row and moved into first place. How did this happen so suddenly? In the first place, they had a grand catcher Billy Sullivan. In the sec-ond place they had a fine pitching staff headed by Big Ed Walsh, Doc White and Nick Altrock. The Sox couldn't hit but they had a strong defensive club, with Jiggs Donahue, Frank Isbell, George Rohe in the infield and a good outfield built around Fielder Jones. The ballplayer who actually led the White Sox insurrection was Jiggs Donahue, the fiery Irishman playing first. He not only handled the bag brilliantly, but he was the flaming spirit of the team. If any one of his fel-low players started loafing or not giving his entire all, Dona-hue would threaten to brain him. He rode the team with savage and untiring venom. That Sox rally won the 1906 pen-nant although Cleveland had a great team, with seven or eight .300 hit-ters and a fine pitching staff that had Addie Joss, William Bernhard, Otto Hess, Dusty Rhodes, Earl Moore and others. But this team, which Lajoie, Bill Bradley, Cotton Turner and Claude Rossman on the field couldn't quite meet that wild Sox counter-attac- The World Series Upset The White Sox carried their rusn on through the world series, where they were not given a faint look-i- The Cubs had just won the National league pennant with 116 victorious games. u!!0L fiiriTr "i ' "' MOTHER, SON GRADS . . .

We are glad to offer some help in 'obtaining the Facts of Life at Horse ' Ovals: 1. The contests are for horses bred for speed and for racing ad-dicts bred for endurance, gullibility and erroneous deductions. 2. The horses run from five and a half furlongs to a mile and three-quarter- s. The fans run much farth-er. A horse pops an osselet, bows a tendon, or breaks a leg and has to be retired. A bettor can suffer all four without weakening. 3. Horses begin racing at the age of three and usually are through at the age of eight. A race addict rare-ly seems to develop beyond the age of three and Is through only when in the hands of eight pallbearers, seven of whom are still listening for inside information that he may yet snap out of it and stage an upset. 4. A race horse lives on choice oats and selected hay. (A bettor should live so well!) 5. The ponies race under weights, conditions and classifications. It is realized that there are limits to what they can accomplish on a given afternoon. A race track addict acknowledges no such limitations. 6. Weights are used to give every horse an equal chance. The fans do about the same, loaded or not. 7. Horses wear special shoes. Fans are lucky to wear any. 8. Interest in racing is sustained by huge purses. A horse can earn $100,000 for two minutes work. A fan may work all his life for it, even as an optical illusion. 9. The horses are ridden by a strange race called jockeys. They are too small to take a horse out of a park and yet big enough to show inclinations in that direction. 10. Betting is done by mutuels machines. A mutuels machine op-erates the same as a sausage grind-er, except that the meat goes back to the butcher. It is a hamburger apparatus with a built-i- n cash reg-ister. It offers the only medium by which a man can spend an after-noon in a cement mixer and have it come under the head of outdoor sport. 11. To place a bet you go to a window. These windows are mostly on the ground floor to discourage jumping. 12. Suspense is added to racing by a photo-finis- A photo-finis- h is taken whenever two or more joc-keys finish within telephonic com-munication of one another. 13. Racing is called the Sport of Kings but it is supported by Deuces Wild and Jacks Back to Back. It has raised to a high art the prac-tice of talking out of one side of the mouth, and developed a race known as Whisperers Anonymous. 14. First race starts around 1:45 p.m. Wrong information begins around 6 a.m. All aboard! MR. MALIK TAKES OVER The Upsidedown Days now are here, The saddest of the year Where everything is what lt ain't, As Jake makes lt appear! Eve Peron says Peron Is God to her. Does that go when he won't put down the paper at breakfast and disagrees with her over the pattern of the new curtains? John P. Crane, former head of the New York Uniformed Fireman's As-sociation, who told the Kefauver Committee he handed out thousands of dollars in alleged bribes, is uing to make the department take him back. This is the first recorded at-tempt by a fireman to slide UP THE POLE. Common inquiry on heavyweight championship prize fights, "Ya wanna stay awake a little longer or tune in on the boxing contest?" More than 45,000 orders have been received by the government for bricks, sticks of wood, nails, etc., from the White House repairs wreckage. Requests for old bricks to be used for fireplace facings lead the list, with pieces of wood for gavels, canes, etc., close up. An old Tory of our acquaintance has written in for a piece of the piano on which Humphrey Bogart once slept. Shudda Haddim missed "Dic-tionary" at a fair price, and right after asking a fellow at the track, "What's the good word?" too! Royal Bones won at $98 at Jamai-ca the other day. Shudda Haddim set aside his racing sheet to read a story about the discovery of an' Egyptian king's, skeleton and still missed the hunch. A man won a $150,000 Jackpot by guessing what minute an Alaska icepack would break up. How about a prize for guessing when the one between Harry Truman and Doug MacArthur will crack? That should be worth large sum. Real Needs There is no fair-minde- d sports-man, surely, who would question the motives or sincerity of the var-ious state game and fish divisions throughout the country, but in our own particular case we have no-ticed a growing tendency on the part of such organizations to be forever rushing to state logislatures with the cry: "Give us a law!" Well, laws are necessary for game and fish conservation, but recourse to law, sometimes, Instead of to commonsense, may defeat the very thing that is sought. In that con-nection, here are some rules which should govern or come before the laws regulating fishing: Laws and regulations for fish must be useful; not burdensome. What one sees with his eyes In a pond, lake or stream is not what actually exists. The lake an angler thought was productive was proved to be the opposite. In like manner, they learned that the poor angling they experiencd might not be be-cause of unproductive fish, but fish-ing at the wrong time of year! It takes money to do a job. To create more fishing, such as de-veloping new Impoundments, costs money. But it is worth it. Budgets which favored law enforcement di-visions were adjusted to favor the tiny budgets of fish divisions. Many state administrators lost out to men who saw the needs of manage-ment workers. There are more anglers "born" each day. It is a big job to meet the demands. Old methods have to be modified or tossed out the win-dow. Providing more and better angling does not come from guard-ing a fish in a stream, but from managing that fish so it can be most productive to the angler. AAA Angler's Prayer Dear Lord, when Gabriel blows bis blast And I com bom to rest at last, Don't tneasur m for harp and wings; Let mt bate, instead, thes things'. Some tackle, and a rod and reel, A pair of waders and a creel, A gushing, frothy glacier stream, A placid lake by which to dream. An angel pal with whom to angle, Magic lines that will not tangle; And permission, Lord, with fingers crossed, To lit about th fish I lost! AAA Balanced Outfits While this may appear as rankest heresy among many oldtimer an-glers, lt Is now a recognized fact that there is no such thing as a "balanced" outfit: that is, perfect balancing of the equip-ment at the time of purchase. Many elements enter into the reasons why this is the case. In the first place, experimentation and experience have proved that the old formula,' the reel weighing so much more than the rod, is Just so much hokum. The purveyors of that idea forgot to take into ac-count the weight ahead of the rod when the caster has out 35 or more feet of )'ne. This weight, as anyone who has experienced it can tell, means a whale of a difference If the rod-us- has bought a line too heavy for his rod. As a rule, this meth-od of choosing a "balanced" outfit isn't necessary these days as a majority of imprint on the rod the sizes of level or tapered lines which should be used on it However, this doesn't completely take all the headache out of the outfit-balancin- g procedure. For In-stance, not all fly lines are standard and, for another thing, nylon lines are one weight lighter than silk lines of the same letter designation. For .' stance: A nylon line is only as heavy as an silk line. And so it goes. Just the same, the angler know-ing the difference in the weights of nylon and silk lines, and who wishes to rely on the 's direction for the line-siz- e to choose, will get a fairly d out-fit the first time. That is, if he for-gets about the weight of the reel and remembers only that Its chief function is that of a repository for the line. This is not to say. of course, that fly-ro- d man can't overload himself in the matter of heavy, cumbersome fly reels, par-ticularly in the automatic category. But, with commonsense as his guide, and his own "feel" for the fishing Instrument in his hand, he ought to be able to put together an outfit that is easy and a pleasure to use end which will, at the same time, enable him to get the most from his fishing. AAA Did You Know? That fish are comparatively short-lived? Most fresh-wate- r fish seldom live more than 10 years, excepting the sturgeon which is believed to ma-ture at 20 or more years of age and may live 100 years or longer. That the major part of the an-nual crop of panfisb dies without ever being caught by fishermen? Studies have revealed that Iss than 10 per cent of the annual ciop of panfisb was taken bv fishins. ilLi-lli- i 'j'jlri. liltl L OFFERS MEAL TO G.I. . . .
