(By United Press)
NEW YORK. Aug. 28. — Beginning
right now, the White Sox will have to
[day the best hall they so far have dis j
[dayed if they manage to get Into the
world's series.
Finishing the series with Cleveland
Ihey will go home for a stay until Sep
tember 3, when they play a double
header with Detroit. Then they hit
the road for the best of the season,
with the exception of three days sche
duled at home. They manage to slip
In some postponed contests on off days
in that period, but they will not be
enough to count for much.
During the same period the White
Sox are at home the Red Sox will be
on their last big trip, although they
are scheduled for a short swing later.
Boston will finish the season at home,
a fact which is a decided advantage
for Jack Barry's men.
There still are left two clashes be
tween the two clubs, one at Chicago
and one at Boston. The latter may bo
the series that will decide the race,
for it will be played In the campaign's
closing days, beginning September 21
and including September 24.
Every eastern club and two from the
western wheel will visit Chicago in
the home series they are about to
start. Eater they will entertain an
other of the westerners for a brief
period. The Red Sox should be fav
orites if the race sticks to anything
like a close decision, for they are driv
ing, nerveless finishers. They beat
out the White Sox and the Tigers last
year, while crippled, and while on the
road. The Chicagoans are stronger
this year, but they have yet to prove
the consistency under stress of a tight
windup.
Harry Greg, of Pittsburg, is rapidly
forging to the front as a logical man
to meet Mike Gibbons. His recent de
feat of Jack Dillon and subsequent
brilliant performances give him an
edge over any boxer now clamoring
for a chance at Gibbons. Jeff Smith
is still in the ring, but has for the
time being ceased to be considered as
a Gibbon's opponent.
The return of Jimmy Clabby from
Australia, already reported, would
give promoters a chance to get Gib
bons back in action. A bout between
this pair of speed merchants would
be a real card.
