BY oRANTLAND DICE.

Compared man for man up and
down the batting order, there Is no
question that Mack's Athletics have
something TO spare on McGraw's
Giants. The Philadelphia machine 10
one Of the best rounded that the game
has even seen, brilliant and depend
able.
But In a brief seven-game series or
possibly less, the Giants undoubtedly
have the edge. In series OF this
type rs per cent OF the battle centers
around the pitchers. In Mathewson
and Marquard, McGraw has brace OF
slabmen who should carry MIN
through. Bender, Coombs and Plank
rank well, but they and all three have
pitched steadily most OF the year, and
they are hardly on a par with MO
Graw's stars.
Back In 1906 Chances Cubs were
better than the White Sox. But Nick
Altrock and Ed Walsh were on edge
and the Cubs were unable TO get runs.

Ing alternate days. even the hard hit
ting Philadelphians will find that the
manufacture OF base hits and tallies
IL close TO lost art.
The Athletics are much stronger on
attack than defense. They ran rough
shod over the Cubs last fall. but were
unable, to curb the Cubs from getting
runs. II Chance had been able to
send in pair Of brilliant slabmen he
would have made at least an even

Coombs was no great mystery to
Chicago and Bender was hit hard In

NJ. A. c. TEAM
WORKING HARD
Work Of McLor in Breaking Through
Reserve Line Was Feature
Of Monday.

EAST LANSING. Oct. 3.-The sec
ond week OF football practice Is now
on at the NJ. A. c. and the farmers are
working at a fast pace. Last night
Coach Macklin had the varsity and
reserves working out new plays. The
feature Of the practice was the work
of McLor, new man, who got through
the reserve line for many good gains.
This man appears to have the goods
and is being given a good chance to
show what is In him.
Hills toe work Is by far better this
year than last. Last night he had a
good chance to get In his best work,
punting the ball far down the field.
On such occasions the reserves gain
ed but little on account of the fast
work OF Ends Stone and Gorenfio.
The reserves tried hard to hold
"Mack's" pets, but II was no use.
Horst, OF Detroit, two years on the
squad, and Culver, the star guard, In
the Notre Dame game, Cowboy"
Campbell and Day formed an impreg-
nable line.
The prospects are that Coach Mack
lin will have a fast and heavy back
field. Riblett is again at quarter and
his generalship Is as brilliant as ever.
And during tonight's work he showed
good judgment and played an excep-
tionally brilliant game.
Assistant Coach Halligan, who has
charge Of the reserves. Is hard task
master and those under him find no
time for rest He has a lot OF excel
lent material and some OF his men
will give those OF the first squad a
hard fight for their positions.
Chamberlain, the crack basketball
and track man, made good showing
1t the first part of last week, but ID
out OF the game on account Of game
shoulder. There Is no doubt but that
this all-around athlete has good
chance.
Assistant Coach Husen, who has
charge Of the all-fresh team, is putting
his men through rigorous signal prac
tice. He has great deal OF work
cut out for him as the larger number
Of men under him have practically nc
experience. The work before the
freshmen Is no easy task, as they are
10 play the Michigan All-Fresh at Ann
Arbor on Nov. "a, Culver Military
Academy at Culver, Ind, and the Cen
trail State Normal at NJ. A. Q.
Coach Macklin has not told any one
of his plans and no one Is able to pre-
dict what his actions will be. Mex
Saturdays game with Alma will give
the first chance to get good line or
what the years work will be like.

THE TIMES SPORT PAGE
Athletics Edge Giants But C MathewO and Rube MarQuar
McGraW Has Pitchers Will Be Impossible Beat Times In Days

Mack can show, but not the sEme
punch. The Giants should be able TO
average 2 to runs game on Bender.
Coombs or Plank.
No one supposes. OF course, that the
Giants will be able TO run amuck
along the paths as they have done ell
year against National league catchers.
But they will get their share or stolen
bases. The Cubs last fall were touted
to run wild ON Thomas and Lapp. but
were shot down at almost every at
tempt But the Cubs had no such
base-running stars as McGraw carries
under his banner this fall. Six or his
Giants have stolen so or more bases,
with one or two others well up.
There In no way to compare the two
teams from the series OF 1905. From
the Giant lineup who fought In that
meeting Bresnahan. Bowerman. Nc
Gam, Gilbert Dahlen. Devlin. Donlin,
Mertes. McGinity and Browne are
missing. Mathewson only remains.
From the Athletic roster. Bender.
Plank, Lord and Murphy remain.
Schreck has passed. Coakley 10 done.
Davis, Monte and Lave Cross with
Seybold and Hartsel are no longer In
the lineup.
Two new teams have been built up
since that meeting and the most In
teresting factor OF the series will be
to witness the comparative work OF
Mathswson from 1905 against 1911.
There will be no walk over for
either club. but II doesn't seem posi-
BILE now that any lineup upon the
may can beat Mathewson and Mar
guard four times In seven days.
