IS FAULTY STAG i AT THE IRISH FRONT, Oct. 6. The large majority of correspondents try to get a punch into the opening paragraphs of their story, believing that the reader will think "Good gracious! This goop certainly starts off well. He must be a great writer. I must read the rest of it." As good a system, I opine, is to make the first paragraph as dull and uninteresting as possible, so that he who reads will say to himself, "I must find out why the devil the paper ever hired this bird." That is my system and I'm sticking to it.

We reached Comiskey Park in time for the free in the press room. Rollie Zeider was there. "Hello, Owleyes," said he. "Hello, hook nose," I retorted, and he felt like a rummy. We had turkey with heps dressing and then ascended to the press stand.

CHAOS AND CONFUSION By FLORENT GIBSON. MOST any of us who have been blessed with an old-fashioned mother or maybe we're talking to a new generation that has only o. f.

grandmothers may recall from their childhood experiences timed when they watched the o. f. home bakery in operation, in the days long before the h. c. of 1.

and the 10-cent loaf were dreamt of. After stie put an yeast-cake to "set" overnight or was it handful of mashed potatoes she took the unsavory looking mess in the morning and mixed it up with a flock of Minneapolis best. Then It was put lu awarm spot to "rise." Remember whst it looked like then? This Is a long way around to say that the Pitt football team looks like a lump of dough In the half-way sUge between the mixing and the kneading out into pans. Also this statement is made in spite of the fact or maybe because 6r it that Pitt licked Bethany at Forbes Field i afternoon, In the home game of the season, 40 to 0. Six touchdowns and four touchdown boots account for the total, but, "except for the first quarter, in which hair of the, total was chalked up, 1 the Panthor machine looked like a yeast-cake in rapid action.

This formless, amorphous condition was far more in evidence yes-; terday than it wag a week ago down at Morgantown, and, to carry the figure of speech to its conclu-O 1 to Jack Iait and I could hear spectators in the vicinity remark "Isn't it queer to see the new O. Henry sitting beside the modern Mark Twain." Not far 'Jistant was JFred Mitchell, manager of the Cubs and at present an expert on a rival newspaper. Mitch was sharpening a pencil, thinking pome-one might want to borrow it. A man advanced to the plate and made an unintelligible speech through a rr.egaphone. Failing to get applause with it he waved an American flag and was cheered to the echo.

He ought to have been warmly applauded for talking so that no one could understand what he said. The umpires then came forth and were photographed for the rogues' gallery, after which the official announcer said Sallee would pitch for New York. Whereat several experts round here remarked. "I thought McGraw would Just about pitch Sallee." But the records show that nobody thought it enough last night to predict it. Sallee's camouflage, consisting of 'a horizontal blue uniform and an absolute lack of displacement, was so effective in the first two innings that only one Sox gunner could locate him.

This was John Collins, who opened the Chicago first inning with a single. In the third, however. Slim, pitching to Eddie Cicotte with one out, twtsted his head eo much his profile was in full view of the batsman. Eddie saw a nose and knew there must be a man connected with it. Noses like Slim's and Mr.

Zeider's and mine don't float round unattached. Thus was New York's pitcher's whereabouts made known and his effectiveness shot to hellangone. Eddie hit a single to center. Jack Collins hit a single to right. Eddie tried to go to third on it.

Robertson threw him out. the Great Zim making a perfect play at third base, possibly because he didn't realize it was important. Jack Collins raced to second while Eddie was being nailed. McMullin hit single to center, on which Collins should have been held at- third, but Bennv KaufT got confused with Jimmy Sheckard and attempted a shoestring The ball knew very well he wasn't Mr. Sheckard, and kept on going, and before George Burns could chuck it back to the infield, J.

Ri feree Gant L'mplre Stewart. President TO f7T CHICAGO WHITESOX BEAT NEW YORK IN SERIES OPENER (Continued from Preceding Page.) at least one more run in the third round. McGraw stuck to his long-established system of playing for a lot of runs instead of one. He cut out the sacrifice entirely, and played the hit-and-run game, when he tried anything of the kind. Twice when Giants were on first oaae, the subsequent swatters were ordered to swat, and the result was nix in the run column.

Once a fast double Play started by choked off Lie best chance the Giants had to win. The Rowlands won the game in spite of some of their famous bad judgment on the bases, which cost them at least one run. while the Giants lost by bad Judgment with the stick, as things turned out. Nobody expected the game would be as airtight as it was. or perhaps the Giant pilot would have played for one run at a time from the outset.

Each side had a chance to score in the opener. Burns played his string out so far in New York's half that he got a chance to whale a groover over second for a single. But Henog and Kauft filed out, ao Burns proceeded to steal second just before Zimmerman rainbowed a fly to Felsch. John Collins-opened the home with the first of his three hits. Rowland played for the one run and had McMullin sac-fice Shauno to second, but Eddie Collins rolled out and Jackson's near-hit was captured by Herzog in brilliant fashion after a hard run back into short center.

There was a spell of worry for the home fans in the third, when Burns cleverly worked Cicotte for his only pass after two were out. Herzog came across with a single to right, but John Collins held Burns on second. Cicotte pitched two bad balls in succession to Kauff. and the Giants began to count the money. But Eddie made Benny hit the ball, and Gandil caught it close to the Giants' bench, when it came down The Sox hit Sallee.

hardest in their half of 'the third. Schalk led with a stinger which Zimmerman stabbed on the bound with one hand, throwing Ray out at first. Cicotte rapped a single to center. John Collins responded with his second hit, a single to right. Cicotte must have been misinformed about Bobertson's arm, for he tried to go to third on the rap and was thrown out easily.

John Collins reached second on the peg and McMullin scored him with a liner straight over second base. KaufT came tearing in and tried to make a shoestring catch of it. but missed the ball, and it got through him far enough to let Mac to second, while Shauno romped home with the first tally. FELSCH'S" FAMOUS DRIVE. Felsch made his famous blow in the fourth.

Jackson was stowed away before Hap came up and waited until he saw one coming across that he fancied. He met it squarely with every ounce of power in his muscles, backed by the full swing of his body. If he had misled it he might have broken his back, but he didn't. The crash was unmistakable and there was not an instant doubt about the ultimate destination of that ball. It started for the bleacher and it landed there.

Burns took one look at the flying sphere and instinctively raced along under it tor a few steps, men stopped ana watcnea it fail among the faithful two-bit fans. some of whom had spent an nignt in line, for the sake of seeing that blow. As if angered by that home run, the Giants made their most vicious attack on Cicotte in the next Inning. It was (their only successful one. McCarty led with a terrific drive which cleared right center field by many feet and went to the boundary.

McCarty with his game le- could make only three bases on it. although, before nis acciaent ne could have scored before the ball came back. It did not make any dmerence, for Sallee, after missing two strikes, poked a little fly over Eddie Collins, who was playing close in, and let McCarty meander home. With nobody out, a man on first and one run needed to tie, Burns was allowed to hit and he soaked a swift bounder to Weaver, who smothered it, then started a lightning double play which Eddie Collins completed by winging the ball to finst ahead of Burns. Herzog struck out.

The Giants never were dangerous again. Two more of them reached flrst base during the ame. Holke singled with ne down in the seventh and McCarty delivered his second attempt to win the game. It waa a low liner over Weaver's head. Jackson raced in, eaw he could not get to the ball on the fly so dived headfirst for it.

His hands reached the pill before It hit the grass and somehow he held it, although he turned 1 a complete" somersault. Two umpires. Evans ana rtigier. ran oui io make the decision and simultaneously they raised their arms, signaling the batsman was out. There was no ques tion about the catch.

Not until two were out In the eighth did the Sox falter in their defense. Then Weaver made a wild throw to first that gave Kauff a life with two out. It cost nothing. Cicotte pitched outJwice to Zimmerman, looking for a hit-and-run play, but Kauff did not stir. Then Cicotte shot the ball to Gandil just ao Bennv started for second.

Chick relayed it high to second, but Collins pulled it down and made the out that stopped New York's last chance to score. FIRST INNING. New York Burns up. Strike one. Strike two.

Herzoj Boss of Giants Still Confident By John McGraw. CHICAGO. Oct. foe ought to have won but for Kauff 's failure to play MrMulli'nM hit in the third for a single Instead of making an impossible catch. There were only two oat at the time, and the Mage of the game made the only proper move for Kauff to keep John Collins, who wan on second, from scoring.

It was a bad error judgment on Benny's part, but the energetic, fiery little fellow, in his anvirty to win, forgot himself and his liiKtmctiona. Sallee was also far from being at his best In the early stages game. He put over too many groovers and that, too, when the opposing batsmen nerf in the hole. But Sallee's wise old head showed Itself later on in the game and, bnt for almost constant breaks in the st favor, the score might have been different. I have nothing bnt praise for the Whiteso.

Cicotte showed himself to be a most artistic pitcher. He a very smooth pitcher. I am more than ever confident that the Giant, will win oat In the end. fered by Al Jolson to all those who bust homers in the series. "Hell's bells!" anld Slim Sallee.

"Who'd a thouuht a guy named Felsch would want a liberty bond?" Lew McCarty robbed Cicotte of a richly deserved shutout by hitting a home run to right center in the New York fifth. Lew made three bases on it and got no Liberty bond. He gjt credit for a tally, however, for Mr. Sallee, who places his dozen base hits per annum where they'll do the most good, came through with a single in the pinch. This is the true and authentic story of how the game's three runs were made.

INTERESTING FACTS AND FIGS. If Heine Zimmerman gets four hits out of four times up in tomorrow's game, his average for the series will be .500. It was the first world's series game Sallee ever lost to the AVhitesOx. When the rival clubs line un for the second contest.

I Tack Collins made up a song after the battie: Oh, Slim Sallee, oh, slim Sallee, Why don't you always pitch to met OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUES. Whitesox The enemy launched a desperate attack on our south side front this afternoon. He was repulsed with heavy losses. One of our balls sailed over the left field fence. It did not come back.

Our counter-attack gained its objective, the irst game. Firing was heavy on both sides at frequent intervals during the afternoon, but there was a lull at 4 o'clock. The enemy is expected to attack again tomorrow with a fresh battery. It 'was noticeable in today's fighting that the heavy artillery was for the most part useless, and the best results -were obtained by lieht field guns. The John Collins machine gun was particularly effective.

Giants An attack on Comiskey plain was met with a desperate defense and a severe counter-attack. The enemy was permitted to take the first game, our armies giving way for strategic reasons. Aviation Our fliers were up in the air through Xhe third and fourth innings. Pittsburgh There is nothing to report. Washington The situation is un- changed.

Back of the centertteld border, fans were mauy rows deep, the bleachers and pavilions having overflowed early. It was the same old scene, with bands. singers and the usual movie squad. Xhe picture waa profuse with flags. 'i More -than 1.5C0 members of the officers' reserve training corps from Ft.

1 of the world's series of 1S17. He is the blocky-built. made-ln-Milwaukee centerfielder of the Chicago Whitesox born In Milwaukee, raised in Milwaukee and developed In Milwaukee. His honfe run in the fourth inning in the opening game of the with the Giants made him a hero. The leathery left arm of old Harry Sallee, the tall, skin-thin veteran of the Giants' pitching crew, lashed two balls In Felsch's direction, Happy hit the second into the crowd in the left field bleachers.

A wide grin covered the face of the Milwaukee boy as trotted leisurely around the bases. He waa happy in? side and outside, was 'Happy Felsch, but not happier than the 32,000 people packed Into the baseball park of the Chicago Whitesox, champions of the American League. The Sox already had one run when Felsch hit his homer, but after that the Xatiuiial Leaguers scored one. so it was Happy's terrific smash that decided one of the closest and most bitterly fought games that a world's series has ever known. Working on the margin of Felsch's home run.

Eddie Cicotte, the chunky righthander, who has seen some dozen baseball seasons come and go since he first entered the big league, pitched superbly against the sluggers from Manhattan Island. CAME ALONG WITH COBB. For years CIcotte's onlv claim for fame was that he came to the ieaeues from the same club and at the same time a Tyrus'C'obb. He was the cast-off of two other American league clubs. He had a delivery- they called the "knuckle ball." It was not regarded as anything very remarkable in baseball.

Then suddenly Cicotte began showing exceptional pitching ability, until finally he became known as one of the best In the gime. He has a trick of rubbing the ball on his shirt front before delivering, firpt. however, applying It to a spot on his knee. Ball players have claimed -that this rubbing produces a mall, shiny place on the and makes it take odd curves ana turns. They call it the 'sMne ball." Many an American League player and manager protested against CIcotte's practice.

They said it was illegal. Time and again games have been delayed in that league while players and umpires examined the ball used by Cicotte, but it was never established that Cicotte was using any foreign substance to aid his delivery. He rubbed the ball a great deal today, but the New York Giants paid little attention -to his rubbing. Before th game, they had reached the conclusion which is probably true, that the "shine ball" Is largely a matter of the imagination, and that Cicotte's real secret was his great control and fast ball. WISE PITCHING PAIR.

Both Sallee and Cicotte are amone the wise men of the pitching mound and they proved it today. One blow settled Bailee's fate. Another blow might have turned it just the other war around. A bit of over-eagerness on the part of Benny Kauff. the hustling, bustling little center fielder of the.Giants, was disastrous to the big town club.

KaufT tried to catch a fly that couldn very well be caught. Had he caught it, he. too. would have entered the hero class He failed. Failure and success march arm in arm down through baseball history.

McGraw sprung a surprise when he opened with Sallee. It was generally believed that Sohupp, the younger lefthander, would start the series for the Giants, but Sallee's pitching proved that McGraw knew what he- was dojng when he put In the veteran. The Giants could not get any runs for Sal, and a pitcher cannot win with out runs, no matter how well he pitches. Felsch and Cicotte tell the story-of the first game. DARTMOUTH WINNER.

Martin ROCHESTER LOSES. ROCHESTER. Oct. lot to Moltrup Steel of Beaver Falls here today in the last bast ball game of the season, i to THE ALL-WOOL POLICY slon, the pessimistically inclined have tome 'grounds for wondering if "Pop" Warner, master-baker, wilt ever turn out a line assortment of crispy-brown loaves not loafers bearing, his well known trademark. But we're an optimist.

A team right in the middle of reconstruction looks a sorry mess and, were not the Lehigh game coming next we would swear that all would be well. We don't doubt that Pitt will come throusti; ithat latent strength is bound to de velop, but we just wonder if it will come to the front in time for the Lehigh game? GOOD IN FIEST QUARTER. Against the Mountaineers, Warner merely brushed his first team up in the plays of Inst year, and these workeJ well enough to win Just as long as the fit st selection was together. Whta a few subs were sent in and the Mountaineers fought a little harder, even the tried and true offense disintegrated. i Yesterday Warher had the Panthers spring a lot of new- stuff, which in-cludcl a different formation of tne hack-field from the old one he has useU to successfully backs lined up like tne pips on a four-spot ana a snort double pass back of the line, which is really a forward pass of about thrbe four yards.

These plays attack the rnd close In, with a long pass from center to one of the rearmost bactt, and then a fling to one of the foremost backs after the ball has 'been carried few steps toward either-end. That It is in reality a forward pass ani "somes under the-same rules was demount rated once when the pass was fumbled and dVopped. Instead of goiag into play on the spot where it waa downed, the ball went back to whe.e It waa snapped in the preceding scrimmage. The new play worked fine In the first ouarter against a stage-frightened Bethany team, n.l wltn this play sauj- wiched in between straight line smashes end Pitt made three long processions down the flelci for touchdowns in the first 12-mlnute quarter. NEVER LOSING THE BALL.

Th.u naradea were made just so easy. lust like clockwork, wlffl tne Pitt team nininur it round on every play, making I succession of first downs witnout once losing the bail. It was Just like run-nin signals. SnaD. go forward, stop tackier crabbed it.

No long runs were made, but the gaining was consistent! averaging three piays to the gained flrSt down. At the beginning ol the game Pitt won the toss and chose Than Ftethanv kicked ana Jitt marched 65 yards for a score. Mc Laren carrying me un Again Bethany kicked and again Put paraded for 75 yards and a score, Mc- curving it across. And ki.i iim this was Bethany matching a paralyzed defease against this false flush of strength. This time was Kasteraay inni scuicu.

Tint thn Rethanv saw a great light, 'elected to receive, and essayed to carry the balU Bethany didn't dp nuich ad- ihp tt defense the Greens etfort did liven up proceedings and make it look more like a con-test Also Bethany started fighting. The defense began smashing into the Pitt formations ana smtareu nlay. Then Pitt started fumbling, miHo. and the team work Just disintegrated. At Umes Pitt i'WOUld PUU on a perieti fumble or fail to "carry on and plays "were spoiled.

Twice Bethany -held Pitt for downs. Pitt could not gain consistently, and though Bethany never threatened, and Pitt did a couple of Umes. no scoring was even near in the second quarter. BAD THIRD QUARTER. Another flock of substitutions were I made, starting the third quarter, and i the team got no better fast.

It was I-fumble, fail, toss around and boot I around for both sides in this quarter, and about the only thing Pitt did that waa creditable wa to hold Bethany safe. Bethany resorted to trick plays. and a few sporadic gains were made. 5 On a couple of short forwards Bethany made a first down, but Pitt made only I one. too.

and though Pitt gained much 7 r.Kr ground, these-gains were eaten up -by penalties, fumbles and plays that were stopped back of the line. Pitt essayed strategy, and it did not work, i Forward passes were flung and grounded. The short back-of-'. he-line pass was pretty muchly smeared every time started. Beginning tho fourth and final quar- ter the Pitt first-stringers came back to the game, but for six of the last 12 minutes Pitt's play showed no tmprove- ment.

Chances to score were all mussed up. but at last Pitt started for the Bethany goal. The team work was less evident than it had been in the first quarter. More like every one for hlm-I eelf and do the best you can. but indi-I vidua I perform inces brightened up.

an I Pitt began to gain ground. The transi-J tion from floundering helplessness to I mediocre efficiency was swift, and In a Ceoup'e of-tninutes Pitt had moved from i Bethany's 30-rsrd line to the gaal, little Davy Pitler carrying it over. Once again Pitt started, this time In their own territory, and the ball was worked up the field for 35 yards by short gains until Pitler broke loose on jr aweep around right end for a 3S-yard run and a ttuchcown. A FLING THAT WORKED. The final touchdown came Just a minute before the end when one of the Pitt forward flings finally succeeded, and Pitler forward passed 15 yards to i Captain Carlson, who dashed down the side-line, carrying the ball over the 35 i yards that intervened, to the goal line.

I These two runs were the most brilliant performances of the day, unless one Includes a recovered punt and 40-yard run for touchdown by Sies that waa not al-1 lowed by the officials. Captain Elder stood head and shoul-i dera above the rest of his team. He was the main-spring of offense and defense. 1 though Koach, Workman and A. Bowser also did well.
