ton seems to me to be proved by their
steady and consistent playing. They
won their way to the front gradually,
increasing their lead and held it. They
gained their place by hard and steady
Eating and through beating the Ath-
1etics and the best of their other rivals.
They did not gain any almost invincf-
BILE lead at the start by fattening up
on the weaker teams.
They are up on top now and playing
the same old game. The Giants, on
the other hand, seem to be slumping
badly and have only just commenced
what may prove to be al exhausting
and disastrous trip.
ITO my mind the GIANTS are not a
heavy hitting team. I have not seen
them play this year, but am speaking
of them as they appeared to me in the
WORLDS series last year. Myers was
the only consistent hitter in the outfit
then. He hit all the way through.
Doyle finished up strongly and Herzog
batted fairly. But MerkIe, Murray,
Snodgrass and Fletcher. from whom
so much was expected. did not deliver
the goods in my opinion. AS batting

team is unquestionably superior. Any

Boston, Aug. eff Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb, the astute Tiger from De-
troit, is the baseball expert that most
folks take him to be. the Red Sox of
Boston will carry off the worlds series
this fall, laying Johnny McGraw's
Giants in the shade. Ty is not abso-
lutely sure the Giants will come out
on top in the National League strug-
gle. but if they do. count on Boston to
win, says Ty.
Superior pitching, batting and field
ing are the points on which Tys be-
lieves the Boston bunch will grab the
long end of the big split in October.
He says:
''If the Red Sox get away with the
American League pennant, as 1 fully
expect them to do, they certainly can
down the Giants in the worlds series,
not perhaps in such easy fashion as
they did in 1909, but in such a con-
vincing manner as to leave no doubt as
to which is the better ball club.
''In the first place, do not consider
the Giants any better than two other
clubs that might name in the Ameri-
can League. That the Red Sox are

Etingy record. both against the Kaws
and for Benny. 1t makes no defer
ence to say that the Bears were pre-
sented with the game by the Kaws and
umpires. Benny could have held them
runless through all eternity, judging
from the way he pitched the nine nee
eSSary innings.
Gear started off with a double in
the first inning. Lee tried to dupli-
Gear was tagged between second and
third when King hit to CULLEN. Gard
ner walked and Mcdonald popped to
Lindsay.
That's about all the chance we
had. The Kaws got a man on at other
times but there was nothing to it on
three hits, none of which came two in
an inning
The Bears started it with two down.
McGinnis walked Beal after Cocreham
had thrown him three strikes across
the heart of the plate. Patterson
dropped the ball when Cocreham
caught him off first and the outfielder
started for second. CULLEN hit and
Beal scored.

He drove one to center and was at

sacrificed him to third and he came
home on Cocreham's wild pitch.
That's about all there is to it except
that McGinnis cinched his title as the
worts umpire in any league. Myers

speed and should be held in reserve
for rescue work.
1--WE hear a lot about the great base
running of the Giants and their PEN
chant for running wild on the sacks.
Well, that is all very fine at times, but
the club stealing the most sacks is not
necessarily the winning outfit. The
worlds series is too short for base
running to cut much of a figure and
the history of past conflicts for the
universal title has shown that both
contenders are SO much keyed up and
realize the importance of the battles
SO much that they do not take many
chances.
''It is the club that runs the bases
with judgment that wins, not the one
that runs hog wild. Besides this the
Red Sox have in Bill Carrigan, one of
the brainiest men in the country, and
he may be depended on to outguess-
McGraw's speed marveIs' and keep
them from doing very much thieving
when it counts. McGraw has lot of
fast players. in fact, most of his club
IS good on the bases, but opposed to a
backstop of Carrigan's class they will
not be able to take the scandalous lib
critics that they do with some of the

something at any time.
ST look for Joe Wood to be the real
sensation of the series if he sticks to
his fast ball and puts his slow one in
the refrigerator. The Giants cannot
hit a speed pitcher and on the dark
Polo grounds Wood ought to stand the
Giants on their heads with his ire

I should stick to my fast ball and

very effective.

ing staff is this year I cannot say.
Vanguard has been phenomenally sue
cessful, but he appears to be slipping
some just now. Mathewson was easy
for the Red Sox in 1909, and they
should find him even easier now.
Ray Collins is a clever southpaw
who has one swinging at his motion
instead of at the ball. And I do not
think that the Giants can bat success
fully against a southpaw.
Boston will have four good pitch
ers, while the Giants, to my way of
thinking, can show but two. O'Brien
is apt to be a puzzle to McGraw's
men. Bedient has splendid fast ball,
