WHO WILL WIN
CHAMPION SERIES
.lnhn j McGraNn-

gpllNl - NtSi
Muggsy McGraw OF New York.
believe the Cubs are better than ever
because they have come back after
losing the pennant last year ] can
not SEQ that the Athletics are so
much better OF than they were In
1905, when we heat them with ease.
I pick tho Cubs 10 win the worlds
series from the Athletics.
George Stallings,
Manager Stallings Of New York;
don't think that the baseball public
fully appreciates the greatness Of the
Athletics
do not want 10 underestimate the
great machine Of the Cubs but | am
under the impression that Macks
team will be able 10 go them one bet
ter.
In the twirling stan the Athletics
have an advantage over the Cubs. /
think that Jack Coombs is pitching
the best OF any man in eithor organi-
zauon, and could make the Cubs stand
on their heads with his great speed.
And Bender viii find the weather
conditions of October just to his
liking.
Hugh Duffy,
Hugh Duffy of Chicago-Philadel-
phia has a very fine stan OF twirlers-
It Is not very large, but large enough
10 best the Cubs. Both Bender and
Coombs should do great work against
the Cubs, and Morgan and Plank can't
be counted out of the running by any
means. Chicago has the best pair OF
catchers In the country, and that IS
whore the Cubs will have the better
OF the Athletics However Killing and
Archer will have to make pretty fast
throws to head of Eddie Collins, once
the youngster gets started.
Fred Clarke,
Manager Clarke OF Pittsburg-I can
not very well discuss the outcome
OF the worlds series between the
Cubs and the Athletics. for l do not
vet concede that the Cubs have won,
or are going to win the National lea
que pennant Ethink the Pirates still
have a chance to win The Athletics
are strong. but I think the Pirates
If they get a chance TO meet Mack's S
team, would be victorious. ] concede
to Connie Mack one OF the best pitch
ing STATS in the country, but | think
the Pirates would oyerbalence him
In other departments The Cubs mea
sure up TO the Athletics In pitching
and II they should win. think
would pin my faith to the old
leaguers.
Charles DOOM.
Manager Charles Doom OF Phila
delphia-I don't think the Athletics
will be able TO trim the Cubs, although
I have a great deal OF respect for
Connie Macks men. The cubs vii
win because they have had more eN
perlence. Their team play Is less
likely to go 10 pieces in a pinch
Plank, Coombs and Bender are great
pitchers, but they will meet Their
match In Overall Reulbach, Brown
and Cole. The Detroits were easy
because they lacked good catching
material. The Athletics are strong
in this department. | look for {
hotly contested and interesting ser
les.
Clark Griffin.
Manager Clark Griffin OF Cincin
NATL think the Cubs viii win from
the Athletics IN the coming worldt
series, II the two teams clash. Th'
| Cubs are an older team, and thel
! team play will cut a great figure
| II Reulbach continues 20 improve. th'
| Cubs Will not have to worry abOu
| their pitching staG. for with Brown
| Cole. Reulbach and overall to depcnt
upon they viii sail along with color
| flying.
James McAleer.
Manager McAlecr OF Washington
think It is an even money bet. bu
personally | am ba9lnE my hopes o,
the Athletics. They are a younge
team. have grand pitchers and ar
hitting at a terrific rate. reallz
that the Cubs ore one grand baseball
machine. but think that when the tes
comes tho Athletics pitching and hit
ting Will win The Philadelphl
catchers do not rank as high as thos
Of the Cubs, but they are not chi
dren OF lmbecllcs, and II the Cub
start 10 running Wild on them the
are going to strike snag II IS
mistake 10 suppose. as many seem {
be doing, that all the Cubs have TO d
is to reach drst then meandcr aroun
10 third and walk home as tho
please"
