GIANTS MUST DEPEND
ON ONE S0UTHPAW
Athletics Have Three Reliable
Twirlers, McGraw
But One.
MARQUARD IS UNCERTAIN
Doubtful IF Rube Will Be Able to
Fool Worlds Champions
in Series.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, October 14.-In try
ing to dope out the coming worlds
series between the Athletics and the
Giants, writer's have ground out hun
dreds of columns of stuff, some finally
dra wing the conclusion that the American
League champions are the stronger and
probably an equal number declaring that
the New Workers will win the coveted
title
When all is said and written, however.
the situation resolves itself down to the
pitchers. And when we come to put the
pitchers OF the two teams in the scales
we find that one man is likely to make or
break the Giants chances TO either win
the series or to make it less one-sided
than the clash between the Athletics and
the Chicago Cubs one year ago. This one
man is Marquard, the great "southpaw"
Of McGraw's staff.
Manager Mack can almost stake his life
on Chief Bender being right and not
failing him in the crisis Bender may
lose. but the chances are ninety-nine out
Of q hundred that 1t will be poor sup
port back Of him and not the Indians
fault if the Giants get away with game
while he is on the rubber. The same ap-
likely TO fail his manager or his team
mates The Athletics. therefore. can
count upon three pitchers, with Krause In
reserve.
The dependence which Mack can place
upon his three stars applies also to what
McGraw can count upon in Mathewson
The latter may not be able to do Iron
Man. work like he did in 1909. when he
shut out the White Elephants three times
in one week. but he should be there
with bells on for one or two games
The next man we come to on New
YorA list is Marquard. "Rube's' Won
derfuI work was the turning point in the
National League race. He proved to be
a veritabie wonder. and when the wealth
er was hot the batsman who got a base
hit of his delivery was as lucky as a
person who had an application for world $
series tickets at Shibe Park honored But
Marquard cannot be given the rating In
the preliminary dope" that Bender.
Coombs, Plank and Mathewson can.
''Rube" IL an uncertain quantity Mar
guard will either DE a wizard in the
series or he will be fiZzle. There is not
much chance of MarQuard being of the
..middle-of-the-road' variety. He is a
'southpaw," and few of the left-hand
handlers.
Judging Marquard solely by his show
ing during the National League season.
when he did the best work of his career
he may be the hero of the series. Again
he is just as likely to prove himself a
deuce spot. For instance. after winning
a large number of games in row and
twice in one week holding teams. one OF
which was the Phillies, down to one hi,
in each game, Marquard suddenly went
to the bad In five out of six games aft
er that ''Rube had to be taken off the
rubber. Since then he has come back
with some fine performances.

GEORGETOWN TEAM
MAY Be WEAKENED
Possible That Bryant Will Not
Start the Indian Game at
Right Guard.

Georgetown University'S foot bail team
will be somewhat weakened when it meets
the Carlisle Indians this afternoon on
the hilltop by the loss of Quarterback
Costello and Bryant, the veteran guard.
Both the abov, mentioned men We're alb
sent from practice yesterday on account
of sickness, and last night Coach Neil
sen gave out the report that neither Of
the warriors would be in the lineup at
the start of today's game. Bryant, the
big guard is suffering from tonsiitis,
while Costello is suffering from stomach
trouble which hindered him to a great
extent earlier in the season. Whether
or not these men will be put in the game
at all today rest altogether on the con-
dition in which they are before the
battle starts. However, it may be posi-
BILE to call upon the fast little quarter
back to do some drop kicking, and the
big West End guard may also be put in
game.
Bill Sitterding. the Blue and Gray minia-
ture quarterback. will be substituted in
place of Costello Sitterding is a veteran
Hilltop team. During these four years
the little fellow has always been at the
directing post and proved himself to be
good field general. Bill is an excellent
broken-iield runner and will make s0me
of the braves from Carlisle step right
along If they pull him down.
Either Dutch Stohlman or Grear will
be started in Bryants place at right
guard in todays game. There is very
little choice between these two men and
whichever candidate Is put in will I'M
doubleday be able to hold his own against
the opposing redskin. This Is Sstohl-
mans fourth year in college foot ball.
and. although he is not a regular, he
ought to start something if he is used in
the West End outfit Grear Is a new
man at the Blue and Gray institution
and owing to the exhibition he gave in
practice games this year he should not
only be able to hold his own, but also
ought to smash up things in his oppo-
nentS' camp

In the games against the Athletics the
worlds champions are going to have the
tussle of their lives to beat the Giants. IF
Marquard fizzles McGraM has only one
is Mathewson. The latter practically won
the ser es in 1905. This Year, however no
one twirler can whip Mack s. world beat.
eTs. -@
AS to whether Marquard will be good
or pad no man. not even McGraWr can
tell one thing that makes 1t look. ba
Tor Rube is that the Athletics have
taken a. fancy to left-hand twirling ali
season. They have won a large mai ority
o. tne games IN which they have been
pitted against "southpaws" Then. again.
Connie has five of his seven fielders and
nearly all Of his battery men batting from
the right side of the plate Collins and
Baker are the left-hand hitters OF the
fielders. and they are Just as likely n
rap a "southpaw's" curves as the right
hand batsmen.

BY n. C. BYRD.

The practice games that the big college
elevens have scheduled at the beginning
of every season will end today. The
last of the contests in which il may he
supposed at the start that the members
of the big university teams will not have
to exert themselves. especially to win
will be played today. Next week the dill
ferent teams will settle down TO the
games which will tax their strength t.
the utmost 10 win.
This afternoon Harvard will play vii
liams, and should experience no trouble
in winning ny a fairly good margin, even
though the Crimson eleven has been de-
veloped slowly so far this year Yale Is
scheduled to meet the Virginia Poly
technic Institute, and ii is not likely
that the southern team will show as well
against the Dark Blue as il has been
showing of years against Princeton. Yale
should win by at least four touchdowns.
If the Princeton eleven does 10 better to-
day than il did against Lehigh It may
find that it has caught a Tartar in Col
gate. as that eleven gave Cornell a hard
game at the beginning of the season
Pennsylvania viii probably find Nilianova
much easier picking than it did Dick.n-
son, as by all accounts Dickinson has one
of the best teams in its history.
The only one of the big schools that is
likely to have trouble winning today is
Cornell IL meets Penn State, and many
depressing stories have been circulated
by the Cornell coaches as regards the
probable result. Whether these aie mere
y bear stories calculated TO put the state
team off lis guard remains TO be seen
but If they are true then 1t viii be up to
Cornell TO put up a better game than at
any time previous this season, 1t Will
be up against an eleven that will try the
strength of the Ithacans under any con-
ditiOns.
teams VIII have games which will not
be easy for them. by any means. Car
Isle, which must be reckoned among
the best this year. viii find the Cniver-
sity of Pittsburg whole lot harder to
beat than Geo. gctown. Yale will go
gainSt the Army, and il will do every
tnIns in its power to aVenge the defeat
suffered at the hands of the soldiers last
year. Princeton is not likely to find the
Navy easy and unless the Tigers show
considerable improvement before tha-
time they will have TO look to themselves
to- prevent defeat at the hands of the
sailors. Brown has the best team in
years and will give Pennsylvania all that
it is looking for to stave off defeat by
the Providence team Harvard will prob
ably have the easiest game of any of
the other big schools. when 1T meets Am
herst. Whether any OF the big tea ms
will have the tables turned on them next
Saturday remains to be seen. but, whether
or not any of them lose. it is certain
that they will all have to extend them
selves more than they have at any
time so far this year to win.
The selection of Billy Sitterding to
run the Georgetown team today was
done simply because he is better at
choosing the right plays to- run OFF
than is Costello. VIII lie Costello might
score a field goal it is still fact that
il is the man with the best head who
should get the job at quarter. Costello

DOWN TO THE FINAL
GAMES OF TOURNEY
Majority of Contests Were De-
cided by 0ne-Sided
Scores.

The weather was ideal for tennis. with
the result that a large gallery was on
hand at the Bachelors courts at Woodley
Park when play in the womens classes
of the twenty-third annual District cham
pionship tournament was continued yes
terday afternoon. The doubles matches
were started and good progress made, the
final round having been reached by the
winners of the lower half.
In the only singles match of the day
Miss Jennie Doolittle defeated Miss Enid
Holden in the semi-final round, 81 and
CO. This victory Of Miss Doolittles
was not unexpected. as she has been put
throughout the tournament and was gen.
orally conceded place in the finals. In
her match Of yesterday she outclassed
her opponent in every department OF the
as to who would win it was simply
matter of how many games Miss Holden
could take before losing out.
All of the matches in the doubles were
s. ores. Mrs. Niebel and Miss Murdoch
going down to defeat at the hands of the
Misses Sewail. 60 and Go; Miss Baker
and Miss Bryan defeating Misses Doolit-
match in the first round and taking the
measure of Misses Dufour and Corsan in
the semi-finals, 90 and 81.
The surprise of the day was the rather
easy dereat or the Doolttie-tOIden COM
bination by Misses Baker and Bryan, as
both Miss Doolittle and Miss Ho den have
bten playing a splendid individual game
and it was thought that the match would
be one Of the closest kind of affairs,
probably running into deuce sets.
Misses Sewall and Sewan played an i'm
pressive game in their match with Mrs
Niebel and Miss Murdoch, taking twelve
straight games, which gave them both
sets at 60. Miss Maud Sewall put up
the best game for the winners. although
her sister was a close second. The losers
were never dangerous, although on one
or two occasions they experienced short
rallies which looked hopeful for a mo-
ment or SO. but their opponents were al
ways equal to the occasion and .nipped
them in the bud
