as one of the greatest cold weather
pitchers of history.
Mack's team Is still confident that
they will win and win in five games
They look for Bender and Coombs to-
hold the Giants in check as they did
tefore, and believe that at least they
have solved the mystery of Mathewson
and have broken through his guard
effectively Also the war club of
Home Run Baker is still on tap and
perfectly poisea for another extended
wallop.
Can Mathewson Come Back?
It will be exactly like starting the
series over again when they next
meet, with the Athletics staked to a
game in advance Mack's team must
win two out of four to get three and
the Giants three out of four. Sudden
upsets in worlds series clashes have
been so numerous that anything might
happen where the pitching is almost
sure to be as effective as it has been
to date, if not more so. There should
be but little hitting in the next games.
The field will be slow and heavy, and
this all stands against any rushing
attack. Scores should continue to
rank small and results go by close
margin
Everything now centers on this
next game If the Athletics win, the
fight looks to be over. But If Mathew
son can come through again and win
his fight, Mack's team will be in a
had hole with Vanguard to face in the
fifth battle upon the Polo grounds.
McGraw is banking strongly upon the
belief that Mathewson will never be
beaten twice in row and that Mar
guard, working in the dark Polo
background with his great speed, will
be one of the hardest men in the world
| to beat But the fact remains that
Athletics money is being covered to-
day at odds and that most of the ex-
perts are tipping the American league
champions to win. Giant supporters
are waiting for the result of this next
game which the more optimistic
think will be played in time to give
the players a week rest before start
ing south again for the spring train
ing trip of 1912.
