MCGRAW PRAISES WORK
OF PITCHER AL DEMAREE

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S-Manager NC
Graw. of the New York Giants, is
grooming his men for the world series
with the Boston Americans. With the
pennant race won, the recruits will be
given the brunt of the work for the
remainder of the seasons play, while
the veterans rest in relays. playing just
enough to keep in good condition.
1t is seldom that McGraw discusses
the initial work of his young players
but he said today the debut of AL DEM
aree. the Southern league star, in the
box against Boston Thursday was the
finest work he had seen done by a
newcomer in twenty years of baseball.
1t was Demaree's first appearance for
the Giants, and, although the game was
crucial to the extent that winning il
meant clinching the pennant, the
youngster had almost perfect contro!
He struck out nine men, allowed seven
hits, two of which We're scratches, gave
only one base on balls, and scored &
shut out.
Demaree reported to the Giants on
September 4, a week too late to be

LOOKOUT PRESIDENT
HAS GOOD IDEAS FOR
LEAGUE NEXT YEAR

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Sept u.s.
President O. B. Andrews, of the local
baseball club, will go on record at the
fall meeting as supporting the present
salary and player limits. He desires,
however. that the salary be graded. In
other words. if only fifteen men ara
carried he is of the opinion that 5000
should be subtraCted from the total
salary limit of that club. His idea is
to prevent ambitious managers from
sacrificing quantity for quality and thus
rendering the final determination of the
pennant winner largely a matter Of
luck.
This is ever the case when clubs at
tempt to go through a season upon an
Inadequate number of men. IF this
provision is included" says President
Andrews, II am of the opinion that the
present player and salary limits are all
right"
Il am heartily in favor of the double
umpiring system" states the local pres
ident, and l will do all in my power to
have it retained next season. The sin
gle system, to my notion, is a matter of
poor economy"
One matter that l intend to insist
upon" says President Andrews. is a
provision to force all the home clubs
to provide club houses for the visiting
teams. | believe that his change would
be to the mutual benefit of all in

more than offset. the slight cost of the

league were stacked against the
tail enders of the National they
would not be 2 to l favorites. If
the winners of the National league
pennant were sent against the fell
lows who finished eighth in the
American league they would not
be a good 2 to 1 bet In a series of
seven games no major league team
is ever 2 to 1 favorite when
stacked against another major
league team. Think that over. It's
fact.
Even Money Suitable Wager.
Even money should prevail in
this series between the Giants and
the Red Sox. The fellows who like
the Boston crew against the New
Workers Immediately point to the
fact that the Giants had a
lot of difficulty in winning the
pennant. Perish the thought. They
had nothing of the sort. They
won the pennant last year by
seven and one-half games Today
they have a longer lead. They are
having no greater trouble this year
than they had last. The fact of the
matter Is that you simply have for
gotten that the Cubs were in the
race until almost the last moment
last year
Then the fellow who likes the
Red Sox says that the fact that
Stahl's men defeated the Athletics
when the Giants could not, proves
that the Red Sox form a better
team than the one which licked the
Giants in the worlds championship
games of 1911.
1t proves nothing Of the sort.
The way yoI have to figure that
proposition is in this way: Would
the Red Sox haye beaten the Ath-
letics if Bender had been as good
this year as he was last? Also.

New York this fall?
Early stories from the home of
the Giants indicate as much. Be-
cause they sure are quoting false
odds at this stage of the game.
You read the stories that come
from Gotham and they tell you that
the Red Sox are the favorites in
the worlds championship games.
All we'll and good. You know that
Jake Stahl has a pretty likely
bunch of young ball players and
you stand for that. But when they
tell you that the odds are length
ening and that the Red Sox will be
2 to 1 favorites before the first
game is played you have a right to
call halt. Because the series
never was played in which either
contestant was a 2 to / favorite.
Odds Are False.
It's all right to, have a favorite.
And it's all right to believe that
your favorite will win. And it's
also all right to back your favorite
to the extent of offering S. of your
money to win 81 of the other fell
lows. But 1t doesn't make any diff
ference how strong your favorite
seems and how weak the other fell
lows appear when 1t comes to
wagering real money your pride
is never a 2 to l shot Certainly
not in a series that calls for four
out of seven games.
If the Red Sox were playing the
Braves Stahrs men would not be
to l favorites. If the Giants
were contesting with the Yanks
they would not be to / favorites.

A 19-INNING BATTLE
FROM MACKS MEN

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2s.-Wash.
ington and Philadelphia. in battling for
second place, broke the major league
record for this season when they played
~ innings here yesterday, the former
winning, 5 to 4.
Inc visitors scored four runs in the
first two innings on five hits, two bat
terry and fielding errors and a fielder's
choice. After that Plank held them to
no runs and six hits for sixteen sue
cessive innings.
In the nineteen Williams received a
base on balls and johnson beat out
bunt Williams was forced at third on
Moeller's grounder. Foster forced
Moeller at second, Barry to Collins. In
trying for a double play, Collins threw
wild and Johnson scored the winning
run.
Groom pitched the first nine innings
for Washington. Twice with the bases
filed scoring was prevented by double
plays, and in the seventh with the
bases filled and one out, the home team
scored on an out, Four hits and an err.
ror in the ninth enabled Philadelphia
to tie the score.
johnson, who took Groom's place Ia
the tenth inning, was hit harder than
Plank. but brilliant fielding especially
by Foster and Mcbride, prevented any
scoring.
Plank, a veteran of twelve seasons,
out-twirled both of his younger oppo-
nents, the majority of Washingtons
runs being due to misplays.

Base running, as | said earlier,
cuts very little figure in champion
ship contests, for the very simple
reason that when a man gets on
bases he is not willing to take any
risks
In batting, too, you have to hand
the palm to the American leaguers.
Not a man on the team, pitchers
included, but is likely to break up
any game, at any time, against any
kind Of pitching.
The Giants have a few danger
Gus hitters, but not an entire team
of fatality hangers, and as they
will be up against superior pitch
ing, it's mighty hard to see just
how they can wiggle through to
victory.
The Red Sox, as a whole, are a
more nervy bunch than the Giants
and much less likely to be discour-
aged by a lead held against them in
the first part of the game.
The team is made up Of brainier
players, who do not need to look to
one man for their every plan or
play.
The Giants depend upon McGraw,
primarily, and all the way through.
The Red Sox depend upon Stahl,
more or less, but each man is for
himself a board of strategy when
time and place call for brilliant in
dividual effort.
Wherefore. as l have said several
times already, they ought to have
no bother coming through, in easy
style, and coping out in the first
five days.
