New York, October 14.-The worlds
championship baseball series about
to begin marks the climax of interest
in the great American game Of base
ball. The championship contest
comes every year, but is ever new
in the intense excitement over the
crucial series. Last year Philadelphia
and Chicago were the centers OF this
championship storm, the Philadelphia
Athletics of the American league win
ming the coveted title.
With the worlds pennant still
flying over their magnificent baseball
home at Shibe park at Philadelphia
and with another American league
flag freshly won, Connie Mack and
his Philadelphians now meet John
J. McGraw and his Giants of the Ma
tional league. 1t is the second time
that these two generals have clashed
over the same great issue. In the
war of 1905 McGraw won four of the
five battles, and thereby brought to
New York worlds pennant.
Seasoned by six years more ex-
perience in the generalship of their
formidable baseball forces. these two
baseball leaders now meet again for
the championship struggle. Two
more divergent types than McGraw
and Mack cannot be picked in the
baseball world. The contest between
the two chiefs may be summed up
briefly as follows

eIunders by Novolists.

Besant In For Faith and Freedom
wrote after the Eykins had settled in
Providence. "Barnaby soon grew tired

that we should hear from him." This
was in 1886 or 1857, and the first
steamer from America to this country
did not reach Liverpool till July, 1919.
Wilkie Collins also made numerous
amazing blunders. In The Duel In
Herne Wood" he makes the story open

period is 1917, when twenty years had

These AZ men and none other are
eligible to play in the present series.
It is probable that not more than
a dozen from each list will be picked
to figure in the crucial games. OF
the "Giants" there are three who
fought and won in the 1905 series
with Philadelphia-Ames,, Devlin and
Christy Mathewson. Of this veteran
trio the last named has been the
Giants pitching mainstay for years
In three of the four games won from
Philadelphia in 1905 he pitched a
shutout and was acclaimed the hero
of the series. In the past six years
he has grown in the confidence of
the New York fans, and while his
most ardent admirers can hardly ex.
pect him to repeat so remarkable an
achievement. he is expected to render
good account of himself.
Mathewson is a native Pennsyl-
vanian, and for one brief period was
a member of the team he now op.
poses, but for the better part of ten
years he has been with the Giants.
He first attracted attention at Buck
nell university and his first profess
sional berth was on the Taunton nine
of the New England league. Twice
the big fellow has pitched no-hit
games. In 1908 he was credited with
81 of the Giants victories. He won
more than two-thirds of the games
he pitched this year. He is 81 years
old.
Notwithstanding the confidence still
placed in him it is likely that he
will have less of chance to figure
as hero in the present series as
his big left handed pitching mate,
"Rube" Vanguard. and Matty's junior
by eight years, has won champion.
ship distinction. The young south
paw. whose services cost McGraw
$1,000. proved good investment
for it is mainly due to his phenom-
inal pitching that the Giants are in
a position to face the Athletics for
the title. He has won "a and lost only
six games this season.
Marquard's first professional play
was with the Waterloo team of the
Iowa state league. Later he was
with the Canton club of the Central
league and was drafted by the De-
troits. who turned him over to In
dianapolis. He proved the sensation
of the American association and it
took the big price named to bring
him to New York in 1908. While he
possessed all kinds of speed and a
varied assortment of curves he was
almost a complete failure in his first
seasons, but McGraw stuck to him
and has been we'll rewarded.
Leon Ames, who has been on the
Giants pitching staff ever since he
jumped the New York State league
in 1904. and George r. Witse, an
other former state Lacquer, are the
most likely candidates for relief work
in the box. Otis Crandall is the fifth
members of the staff.
There are six of Connie Mack's
men who were with him when he
fought in vain for the 1905 flag.
They are Bender, Plank. Lord. Hart
Sci. Murphy and Harry Davis. Head
and shoulders above them all stands

pewa tribe, who was sent to the
Carlisle school for his education and

Benjamin F. Shibe, owner of the
Philadelphia club, is also preparing
to handle a record crowd when the
playing of the big games alternates
to his new park bearing the family
name. The proximity of the two rival
cities is expected to cause daily
flock of enthusiasts from one city to
the other and by far overtax the
capacity of either park.

Pa, team, and in 1903 was brought
into the big league by Connie Mack.
He became one of the famous quin.
tette Of twirlers which brought Phila-
delphia into it's second league cham
pionship in 1905. In the world series
he was the pitching hero of the only
game which the Athletics took from
the Giants that year. On the other
hand. to him is charged the only
defeat suffered by the Athletics in the
series with Chicago last year, though
this came after he had allowed but
one hit for eight innings.
With the Indian in the box is, as
was the case last year, Jack Coombs,
the real hero OF the last series.
Coombs, known as Mack's man OF
iron," won three straight games in
the 1910 series, a feat which the
Giant Mathewson equalled in 1905.
Coombs is ~ years old. He played
at Colby college. in Maine. and gradu-
ated at once into big league CON-
pany with the Athletics in 1906. He
is exactly the same hight as his
pitching mate, "Chief'' Bender, 6 feet
/ inch. He is holder Of records
one of them being the famous a.
inning victory over Boston in 1907.
During the 1910 season he went 50
innings at one stretch without let
ting an opposing club score on him.
Bender and Coombs will be called
upon it is believed to do most OF
the pitching in the series at hand
but as the Giants are said to be
weaker before left handlers it is pos
sible that the two southpaws, Plank
and Krause, will be given a chance
to distinguish themselves. Plank
was one of the trio Of twirlers who
won for Philadelphia it's first taste
of league championship in Mack's
second year. Veteran though he Is,
at the age of sc. he is still able to
do effective work.
In cold figures, the records Of the
pitchers selected for the present
series is as follows:

Quick and impulsive.

Resorts to quick Judgment.

And so on, with finer distinctions
the divergence might be traced and
when the problem was finally worked
out it would be found that about
the only point of intersection in their
methods is success.
Cornelius McGillicuddy, so named
at Birth. but rechristened by the fans
as Connie Mack" has been called
the wizard of baseball because OF
his skill in developing seemingly in
feri0r talent into the superior player
Since he organized the Philadelphia
club eleven years ago he has turned
out four champion teams in the
American league and has led his
men close to the front ranks in the
league every season but one. His
career has been, perhaps, the most
successful of any of the so.called
bench managers. Sitting back away
from the dust of battle, the cool and
crafty chief with pencil and score

of the engagement and only occa-
sionally amends the orders he gave
his men before he sent them into the
field.
McGraw. known to fandom as the
Napoleonic leader of the Giants, .
has won three league pennants for
New York ana one world series.
Since 1903 his team has never. fin
ished below third place in the. Ma
tional league. As a big league player
he is famous product of the old
Baltimore Orioles of the National
league. When the club broke up
after the season of 1902 he came to
the metropolis as manager of the
Giants. He is, and always has been
typical player and leader of the old
fighting school whose slogan is crush
in and win"
Whether McGraw can bring his
men back to the world beating class
or must let the Mackmen possess the
big lag for a second successive sea
son. depends in some part upon some
OF the veterans who won for him
the war of 1905.
