SPORTLIGHT : 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 mpipi, won a pennant and I later a world series 'isljV back in 1906, a mat-- I r"- - ter of 45 years ago. . b 4 , The 1951 charge t ls led larSe'y by h fine Pitchlng' as I , - y i , ' well as consistent r all - around play. I A K is also a iv "I ring tribute to Grantland Rice 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 hap-pen. 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 rush 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. They had the brilliant Johnny Kling back of the bat; Three-Fing-er Brown, Ed Reulbach, 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 spitball star of all time. Two years later he 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 Finnegan 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. MOTHER, SON GRADS . . .

Real Needs There is no 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 legislatures 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 come home to rest at last, Don't measure me for barp and wings; Let me have, instead, these 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 lie about the fish I lost! AAA Balanced Outfits While this may appear as rankest heresy among many oldtimer an-glers, it 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 Vne. 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 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 direction for the line-siz- e to choose, will get a fairly 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 a 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 panfish dies without ever being caught by fishermen? Studies have revealed that less than 10 per cent of the annual crop of panfish was taken bv fishina. H few Hours Spent Cleaning Farm Pays Big Dividends Spring is clean-u- p time time to clean out the hazards around the larm which can cause personal in- - jury, loss of time, or loss by fire, i And although many rural com-- munities have already conducted J clean-u- campaigns, a few hours 1 now and then spent in putting things may save many days of time during the busy season later on. It is a n fact that or-- 3 derly farms and homes have fewer m accidents. It will pay every farmer to take j i few hours and remove accumu-2j- l lated papers, rags and rubbish from ) the home and farm buildings. Be sure that medicines, poisons and in-- secticides are out of the reach of children. At this time of year many barns are still cluttered with an accumu- - lation of things used during the wint-er. Clear them out of alley-way- s or working areas so they can not il cause accidents. A neat place is a jb safe place for either work or play. t" ' - ifuy'i r 4 ' ' ' , vdut' f : Lh OFFERS MEAL TO G.I. . . . Part of her meal is offered by this little Korean girl to Corporal Andrew G.
