going to miss this series for I x

HONOR
Charles Comiskey--"well, CUES
that I do like the Athletics" is the way
Charles "Old Roman" Comiskey puts
it. THE way the Macks mauled the
last fall and their rough house
methods with my bunch this year con-
vince me that for the Giants to win
the worlds series they will have to
sandbag the Philadelphians. McGraw
has two fine pitchers in Mathewson
and Marquard. but no better than Ben
der and Coombs, while I fail to see
New Yorks can compare with the Ath-
lettcs. As far as baserunning, we'll
If Ira Thomas cannot turn them back
Jack Lapp can. What more do you
want?"
Fred Tenney-Fred Tenney. manag-
er of the Boston Rustlers. says. "Math-
ewson will win the worlds series for
the Giants. He is invulnerable in such
a series. especially to a team that is
not familiar with his offerings. He
Will repeat his wonderful performances
of 1905 when he took a worlds PEN
nant from the Athletics almost sin
g~le-handed, Connie Mack has not a
star outside Of Coombs who can re-
peat as often as Matty or Marquard.
If the "Rube" is right he will show
the Athletics some tall sharp shooting
over"
Bill Dahlen-Bill Dahlen. manager
of the Brooklyn club, is of the follow
ing. opinion In reference to the worlds
series: II think it will bring togeth-
er two of n greatest teams that ever
paced a diamond. 1t should be a Won
derful affair from start to finish. I
know the Giants are the greatest team
the National league has produced in
my estimation the equal of the Cubs
when Chances team was at Its best.
7 am not so familiar with the Athletics
] 1T ! do not underestimate the strength
of the worlds champions. Any club
that could show up the Cubs the way
Mack's men did last fall must have
heaviest hitters. I believe that Nc
Graw has a shade better than an even
chance"
Roger Bresnahan.-Roger Bresna-
han. who helped beat the Athletics in
1906 series and who now pilots the
st. Louis Nationals, thinks the Ath-
letics have the best chances of get
ting the sixty per cent of the receipts.
Says Roger: 1.-THE Giants are not as
strong as reputed and not near so for
midable an aggregation as that which
1905. McGraw has a fine and scrappy
outfit of youngsters. mixed with a few
old heads, but to beat such a powerful
combination which Mack will hurl at
him he will have te:do wonders to win
the series." -. -.

win out. I believe that they are the
two best teams that ever entered a

on the other. The same holds good in
all the departments of the two teams.
l look for unprecedently large crowds
in attendance and the general result
whichever way the victory goes. will
be for the general good of the great
American sport"
Fielder Jones-'The Athletics should
repeat their performance Of 1910, says
Fielder Jones. eX-leader of the Chica-
go White Sox. ''They are superior in
the pitching ranks and the class in
batting. Mathewson may be able Ia
repeat his feat of 1905, but I doubt II
very much. He can't last forever. The
Athletics have the edge on the batting.
Also they have an inf1eld that-wel!,
it is the best I ever set ayes on"
Patsy Donovan-Patsy Donovan. the
manager of the Red Sox. sees only an.
other reaping of worlds champion
ship honors for the Athletics in tn.
post season battles against the Giant
He picks the Athletics to win AMI is
firm in his statements that 1t is not
sim n1v In 1oxyo1fv IN tho ~ao~fno,
league that this opinion has been form
ed but because he believes way down
in his heart that the Athletics have
the better team.
Hal Chase-"Give me the Athletics
says Hal Chase. the greatest fielding
first baseman of the. game and the
manager of the New York Yankees. II
have been up against both clubs and Of
the two I like the Athletics. Mack has
a wonderful club. we'll balanced In
every department and although young
in years. they are practically old in
experience. especially worlds series
in this fight with the Giants. Nc.
Graw deserves a great deal of .rsdit
for the sensational finish he made in
landing the National emblem in the
heart OF the enemy's country. but
think the strain his boys laborcd IN.
der will be toe much for them to stand
before the inside play and superb
defense of the Mackmen."
Adrian G.. Anson-Captain Adrian c.
Arson, the grand old man of base
ball. leans a little toward his old love,
the National league. in predicting the
outcome of the coming worlds cham
pionship between the Giants and the
Athletics.
II like the Giants a little bit better
than l do the Athletics" said Arson,
but at hat ] would be. willing 10 give
odds of 10 to S to any one that wants
to bet and let him take his choice. I'd
make a Dutch book. With John Nc
Graw on the job. directing the play
of his team. the Athletics will not have
any smooth sailing with the National
leaguers."
James McAleer-Jimmy McAleer. in
figuring why the American league PEN
nant winners should take the post sea-
son series from the Giants says: THE
1905 will see McGraw again at the
head of the Giants and Connie Mack
leading the Athletics. But this year
tho American leaguers are in much
better physical trim than six years
ago and will he able to start the series
in Il position to deliver their best base
ball. And this. believe. is good
enough to take the SERIES"
