Ty Cobb. like Connie Mack, does no,
much store in the speed OF the Giants
the bases in talking of the much discuss
series for the worlds titl. The man v
set new American League record
stolen bases this year is quoted as ssy,s
Base running will not be the impors
factor i'm the worlds series that NAM |
those who dope the Giants 70 win games i
speed seem 10 think. IN fact. II viii :;
surprise mo II the base stealing ability 4
McGraw's team proves no material slsnsi
in the winning OF losing Of the coniss,
and is at no time notably IN evidence
This is why I say that the record 4
thefts that the Giants have piled up shot
not be considered too greatly in lgirfs
the post-season games Base running dor
not count in short series. It never I'd
and never can. Each single game
matter OF too much Importance. Any In.
you try 10 steal base YOU give the v
posing team chance 10 put you OK
Those chances unless your team 10 N fro
and hitting the pitchers. as the Atheud|
were last fall. YOU cannot afford n take
You must play tho game reasonably q,
and depend on your hitting and your pta |
ing, because the loss of any one sns.
game may result in the loss ~ the WORK
championship. and the winners end Of o.
money. That is how world 8 series a
