NEW YORK, Oct. 2. — While the
winning of a pennant and the result
ant participation In the world series
is based upon the number of games
won during tiie entire season of league
play, it Is as a rule the final weeks
of the schedule in which the cham
pionships are clinched At this period
of the play the leading teams of each
I league are putting forth their great
' est efforts in an attempt to capture
I first place, and each day's struggle
is fought out to the .inlsh. For this
reason It has frequently been said
that the true speed of a team In a
world's series can be gauged from
the power of its play near the poI*t
where the pennant was ifinthematlcai
! ly won.
Based upon this assumption an ana
lysis of the work of the Chicago Am
c.Icgns and the New York Nationals
In the closing weeks of the present
season should afford a somewhat gen
eral outline of the form which may
be expected of these two clubs when
they meet In the world's series of
1917. On the first day of September
the Chicago White Sox were leading
in the American league by 4 1-2 games
over the Boston Red Sox, while the
New York Nationals led the Phillies
in the senior league by 9 games.
In neither case was the lead so
great that the runner-up club did not
have a chance to overtake and pass
the pace setters. Under the circum
stances the New York and Chicago
teams were forced to play their best
game and despite an -occasional de
feat. the records show that they trav
eled at high speed up to the very mo
ment that the flag was won beyond
peradventure.
Iiurlng the first twenty days of Sep
tember the New York Nationals
played twenty-three games, of which
they won sixteen and lost seven, show
ing a winning average of .G96 for that
period. In the same number of days
the Chicago White Sox played fifteen
games, of which they won all but
three for an average of .800. In these
fifteen games the Chicago players
accumulated a total of eighty-two runs
to their opponents' fifty-four, or an
average of close to five and a half
runs per game. The Giants aggre
gated eighty runs in twenty-three
games for an average of three and a
half runs per content, while their op
ponents collected fifty-six. If the op
posing strength were equal in ail
games, which was not the case, how
ever, it might be assumed that the
White Sox attack was stronger than
that of the Giants, while the latter's
defense was harder to break through.
The fact that these clubs did not, of
•ourse. face the same opponents must
lot be overlooked.
Much stress has been laid upon the
espe, live ability of the pitchers of
the two clubs and the part that these
twirlers will play in the winning of
the world series. For this reason a
comparison of their box records dur
ing the period under consideration
may be helpful to the followers of the
game. The Giants have used Salle,
Perritt, Schupp, Te sreau and Benton
for an average or 34 3-5 Innings each
in the twenty day period, while De
maree and Anderson have worked an
average of 17 1-2 each.
For the White Sox Cicotte, Williams
and Faber have borne the brunt of the
pitching, having averaged forty in
nings. Danforth and Russell between
them pitched twenty innings, an aver
age of 10 innings.

EVANSVILLE. Ind- Oct. 2—Coal1
dealers here say coal will be more
ecarce this winter If local consum
ers depend upon them. But Evans
ville consumers don't care a hang.
Mayor Bosse has promised to furnish
coal from his new munlciple mine at
a little above cost. Borings for the
mine, the first city owned in the
country, are about completed. The
mine Is located Just above Chandler,
dnd.. twelve mile* northwest of the
city. Ixtcal dealers have their out
put tied up in iron oound contracts
with concerns In other cities. They
claimed local consumers have always
boycotted them, and used cheap non
union coal from other cities, there
fore. they do not intend to break
outside contracts to keep Evansville
from freezing.
Mayor Bosse wants to make sure
the citizens get coal and at a fulr
price. So he started his municipal
mine, which will cost at least about
$100,000. The mayor Is going to
build it with his money and then sell
it to the city to be operated by the
water works department.
The mine will be sold to the city at
cost plus six per cent interest on the.
original investment. Just now the
city could not take over the mine, as
its charter and the Indiana laws do
not permit a city to operate Its own
coal mines.
But Bosse declares he will fight for
a new law to permit municipal oper
ation of the mine. In the meantime
he is going ahead to get the new mine
running. Law or no law the people
must have coal, Is his stand.
The mine will produce 1.000 tons of
coal per day. Municipal coal yards
will be established throughout the
town and the coal will be sold at
wholesale and retail at slightly above
cost. The city will arrange to haul
it to the house of the buyer.
TERRITORIAL COUNCIL OF
DEFENSE TO BE NAMED.
The territorial council of defense,
which will comprise the leading citi
zens of Alaska, will shortly be named
by Governor Strong. This is an im
portant matter and one which the gov
ernor has not had the necessary time
to thoroughly digest by reason of the
pressure of work. The isolated posi
tion of Alaska, lack of military and
naval defense and other handicaps,
makes it important that the biggest
and most patriotic men of the north
be selected. It is expected the names
of the Alaska council will be made
public within a week.
