 major league club partisans can set but their representative, because, un like Philadelphia, New York, Boston Chicago and St. Louis, fans have not had the opportunities of witnessins both in action Where, however, ar opportunity has been afforded to set the two clubs and eliminating league prejudice, it looks to be about toss up as to whether Boston or New Tori would be he victor. This is further strengthened by the dope of the un official figures. In batting the Giants have the edge on the Red Sox, while the latter are much better fielders than McGraw's men.
