McGraw was not slow 10 admit that the
best team won the worlds championship
and agreed with Connie Mack that the
youth OF the Giants was a handicap.
The official figures only show The more
clearly the superiority Of the Athletics over
the Giants as II was revealed during the
series In fielding, batting and pitching the
Philadelphia nine held the palm. The Two
teams were even in base running, each
having stolen four Rags. As a team their
average in hitting was Pa. as compared to
f75 for the Giants, while their total bases
ran up 10 IS 20 IS for McGraw's men.
In only two positions were the Athletics
outpointed. Surprising as II may seem,
Larry DOYLE hit better and helded better
than Collins. While Eddie may have COW
cred little more ground. nevertheless
Larry was steadier and was the one real
live wire on the New York nine. Chez
