Dineen, the loud voiced gent who

twir!er of the Boston, ittsburg. series
OF 1908, with the heroic Deacon Phil

sairs.
In 1905 it was the peerless christy
Mathewson who did the trick against
the Athletics. and in 1906 it was AL

pretty a bead on the capabilities of
the twirlers, as we'll as the sort Of
stuff which they peddled out against
their opponents.
Bender has a straightaway record of
seventeen victories and five defeats,
IN seven other games he has either
started to yield to another. or else he
has taken up the white mans burden

C0OMbs Big Winner.
Coombs has been the regulation iron
man which he is expected to be all
the time. His straightaway record
mas been twenty-eight wins with
eleven losses. In addition he has
eitner been taken out or e in as a
relief squad but six times. Plank. the
old man Of Mount Pleasant, has been
successful twenty-one times. while the
prong has been piled to him on eight
occasions. In addition he has re-
sponded to the hurry call. or heard
the managerial voice yell him off the
Matterhorn ten times.
Morgan a been the stormy petrol
OF the gang Cyrano is credited with
fifteen victories, while he was on the
short end seven times. In addition he
has ducked the fracas or gone in to
help a wobbly brother fifteen times,
the majority of these occasions being
when Cy did the aviation stunt and
failed to get away with the job.
krause Has Strong Finish.
krause came with a rush and q
bang the latter part of the season.
He is charged with six losses out Of
sixteen full games, while he has eth
er been forced to beat it for the show
ers or take part in the festivities when
somebody else did the sprint exactly
nine times. In all the finging five Of
the Mackmen have participated in ITS
games. OF this number they have
dragged down ninety-one victories.

Now to the Giants. Richard de
Marquis, otherwise known as Rube
Marquard. has the credit of twenty
three victories and eve defeats. On
the other hand he has either been
dragged from the howdah or snt in to
relieve thirteen games.
Mathewson has twenty-four victor
les and twelve defeats chalked down
against the checker experts career
this season. In addition Big Six has
been called upon to e%vacuate the hill,
or run to the relief of some ,errine
brother a half dozen times.
Wiltse has thirteen wins and ten
losses for his seasons book. George,
also. has been in but five extra games
outside of this. Crandall and Ames
have been the bunkerinos of the staff.
Ames and Crandall are both suspected
Of being unable to Withstand heavy
firing. and 1t is probably due to this

Crandall Pinch Hitter.
Ames has eight wins and nine losses
for his portion. In addition he has
either been taken from the game or
Topped into the fracas thirteen times.
Otey Crandall, on the other hand. has
twelve victories and five losses charg-
ed to his account. He has been in
thirty-nine games, but the most Of
these. in justice to Crandall it might
be stated. have been to use his hit
ting as utility batsman and pinch hit
ter.
This gives the Giants eighty victories
for their Big Five with forty-four de-
feats. It shows that the twirlers Of
the Mackmen were either taken out or
sent In to relieve forty-seven times,
while in the McGraw camp there was
such a contingency arose exactly fifty
nine times.
