Sat-jtird- ay Scott . . . Bancroft Here are two youngsters, coming stars who are tt shino brightly, facing each other in a . world's series. It is a tossup between them in almost every department of the game and they ; figure so closely together that it is y - . "v? - S A. 3 hard to choose 41 between them.

Nature has given him some that advantages are denied the Red Sox brilliant The shortstop. fact that the Dave Bancroft, vounsr- Quaker ster, fresh from the coast league, where he was a marvel, docs not outshine his rival more in the fisrures, is due to the fact that Scott has a year the advantage of him in the big show and that Scott has played with an infield that could teach him more of the inside work than Bancroft knows. Last year Scott got his training down there with Wagner and Gardner and Yerkes to instruct and lead him, which in itself is a liberal education for a youngster, and this year he has had Jack Barry, the wisest of all the infielders and tho most patient teacher of youngsters. It is small wonder that Scott has improved greatly, so greatly that even the crippling of "Wagner by rheumatism has not hurt the team as it would otherwise have ex-Beav- er. done. Value in Offense.

Series. 7:?2 70.' 695 697 G21 TOG Scolt not being quite the equal of his rival in going toward third base or in coming forward and cutting across in front of second base: but he plays the deep field perfectly and is steady and brilliant in short plaj', "especially with the infield drawn close. He handles a ground ball cleanly and gets it away to the bases quickly, but in that he is not the peer o Bancroft, avIio shoots from almost any position. The players declare that Bancroft, in this respect, is almost the equal of Doolan, who was considered the greatest of all players at that style of defensive work. Bancroft is faster in double plajs, but there is one thing I want you to observe in comparing these two fellows. "Watch Scott when he passes the ball to Barry and see the difference in the manner in which he handles it from what he did last year. Then watch Bancroft and Niehoff make the same play. This play is, I think, executed better by Evers and Maranville than by any pair. They slip the ball to each other with a scoop motion, merely pitching it toward the bag, while the other is sprinting to meet the ball and trying to reach the bag in position to make the throw to first quickly. The danger of an error that will ruin a double play is minimized and the danger of the ball going far enough to make the error more serious is eliminated. Beside that, the ball is at the base, easy to handle, and the other player can move freely and without fear, which lets him cover more ground and still reach the base in time. Bancroft still has a habit, especially when hurried, of snapping the ball to Niehoff with a quick wrist motion when the play must be made in a hurry. It comes fast to the base, doubles the danger of a muff aud if the muff does happen or the throw is bad, the ball goes on and the runners advance another base. These are small things but watch Scott and you'll see the fine Italian hand of Jack Barry in every move he makes around the base. It is rather discouraging to figure on the batting of these two boys in this world's series. Scott is liable to get a foul off Alexander if Alex, is right, and if this fellow Rixey has a good day Scott will be lucky to get that much. He tags the pitchers fairly well will on an and off day, but not hit Hixey ordinarily one of those has if Eppa Jeptha "big" days that he has at times. Scott probably would hit Mayer well, would hammer Demaree or McQuillan and hold his average against Chalmers; but as these fellows are not likely to cut much figure in this series, Scott's batting average does not look much plumper than Connie Mack in these lean days of the Athletics. Bancroft also is up against tho toughest pitching he ever has seen. I think lie can be eliminated as a dangerous hitting factor. His best chance to hit, it appears, is against Shore and that doesn't sound reasonable at all. He stands up pretty well to speed and takes his swings and, of course, anyone who does that is liable to connect with one. They seem evenly matched at the waiting game and on the bases all the advantage is with Bancroft, so that with the exception of the little inside points of the game, a little more finish on his combination playing and a few minor details of play, Bancroft outfigures his Bed Sox rival. The difference is not sufficient to make Philadelphia lead and a little luck is likely to turn the tide in the other direction. Tomorrow we will take up the third basemen and study them before passing again to the outfielders. (Copyright 1015 by the" "Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) left-hand- ed Bancroft is a first year man. He is perhaps the most brilliant youngster sent on east from the coast in many a year, and down at Philadelphia he is regarded as the wonder of the season. Naturally, in the enthusiasm of victory, his faults havo been overlooked. He is not yet. a finished ball player and he makes many blunders in the play around the base, blunders that are hidden to a great extent by the individual brilliancy of his work. Bancroft, a "busher," practically won the pennant for Philadelphia. To him. even more than to G. Cleveland Alexander, belongs the credit of the victory. Of course, neither could have won without the other, but Bancroft 'made" that .infield, transformed it, from an uncertain and ragged defensive proposition into a hard fielding, clean working machine. Getting down to figures, Bancroft can outhit Scott about thirty points against all kinds of pitching, he is speedier on the bases and clever at getting the jump on the pitchers. I shall have more to say later about the effect of the American league "balk", upon National league base runners, who are not accustomed to such liberal interpretations of the balk rule. This is something Moran would best caution Bancroft about, or Boston's adepts at the balk will nip him off first about as often as he gets there.

Sept. won the American league pennant, Detroit's defeat by St. Louis making it impossible for any team to overtake the league leaders. There was only a ripple of interest in this city today when word came of Detroit's defeat, and the consequent cinching of the American league championship by the Red Sox. The outcome of the pennant race had been regarded as a foregone conclusion since the Tigers were routed in the last three games of the sensational series here two weeks ago. The Red Sox players learned of the accomplishment of their desires as they boarded a train for Washington, where they play tomorrow.

NORG ON EAR- EAR IS SORE, AND NOW UNIVERSITY GRIDISTS FIND THEIR FREEDOM CURTAILED ANEW - The varsity candidates at the Universitj' of Utah will report for practice every afternoon for the rest of the season promptly at 3.30 o'clock. No longer will the famed gridiron huskies be allowed to loiter about on the campus telling the what they are going to do to Colorado. As soon as class instruction is over they will be seen hiking toward the gymnasium and a quarter of an hour later they will bo on the field in suits ready for the afternoon's workout. AH this is the result of a movement that has rapidly gained momentum at the east bench. Coach Nelson H. Norgren is the principal reason for the momentum. It appeers that Utah's crack pilot took a correspondence course in personal efficiency during the summer, and is merely putting into practice the principles he has learned. One of the fundamental bases of this personal efficiency stuff, says the coach, demands the elimination of wasted time. For example, when Norgren groups his hopefuls about him and proceeds to enlighten them in the matter of split bucks and shift formations he uses a great amount of energy. He also uses a lot of time, and with the Colorado games looming up in three Weeks, time is a precious article. But when he has finally explained, illustrated and pounded into the craniums of his pupils a few facts and then suddenly discovers that a couple of backfield men are missing from the gathering and that three or four linesmen have not yet appeared on the field and that all of his work will have to be repeated for their benefit, he naturally gets on his ear. When Nelson II. gets on his ear, particularly his sore one, it behooves the moleskin artists to move with alacrity. But the new system promises to take care of the future, prevent the wasting of time and furnish the correspondence school with another testimonial as to the marvelous results possible. One of Norgren 's hobbies is note books. He takes notes on all kinds of plaj's and observes methods of attack and defense. Last year he filled several of these note books, and is finding much material in them for his men to think over this year. Albert Brokmeyer was out last night with his injured arm in a cast. Big "Brok" certainly has the spirit. It will probably be three weeks before he can get into a game, but he is on the job learning the signals, studying the plays, and when he does get a chance he will be. pretrack. pared. He keeps in condition by racing around the quarter-mil- e "Brok" is an example to some of the other huskies on the "U" campus who spend their afternoons playing slough and wondering what the school's chances are for a championship.
