a lady and gentleman were
standing with their son on the
platform of a railway station,
awaiting the arrival of a certain
train. Suddenly they heard the
shrill whistle of an engine in the
distance.
"Here he comesP exclaimed
the gentleman.
Here she comesP,. said the
lady. While the boy shouted:

diately a hot discussion arose as
to which was the proper word to
use, "he, she" or 1t
On the arrival of the train,
however, the argument was set
tied, and all agreed that the gen
tleman was right-it was @maiP'

who have watched this Tirile young
mans game he seems more than likely
to be one OF the stars Of the big
show. In a series of this sort steadi-
ness counts for much, but the cham
pionship of the world can be won by
one brilliant actor who can range
wide and far, shut off a base hit or
so, and stem the tide at dark spot
in the program
Fletcher belongs to this type. No
member of the New York infield has
come through this season with finer
stops and throws than the New York
shortStOp. He carries a quick eye, a
brace of quick starting propellers and
one of the finest pairs of fins in the
game Fletcher has few equals at
tagging those sharp drives to the
right and left. which start forth
tagged as hits. He is on them with a
jump, and the immense acreage of his
hands does the rest.
Compared with Fletcher, Yerkes
stands back in the shadow The lat

bases Tir--season, and his batting is

Gardner aisss HerzOG.
If either Larry GardhSr or Cnar1ey
Herzog has anything on A2e other al
third base, it must be hafr NIne az
vantage The Maryland "CanSS iOupe
king has saved many games fofs tne
Giants by his grand work at the MOI
corner, and has picked up lately N
his hitting. Gardner IS 800 hitter
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-10-08

and Herzog is not. but the latter has
been going lately at a $50 clip. and
ne completely outclasses Gardner as
a base runner. There is no discount
ing GardnerS ability. Like Herzog,
he was not originally a third base
man, but he has been made over into
a great player in that corner. His
hitting puts him in class with
Frank Baker, the man who made such
q wonderful showing in the worlds
series last year. Gardner is probably
the most dangerous batter among the
Red SOx, next to Speaker.
To call the infields of the Giants
and Red SOx equal in strength is not
only the easiest conclusion TO draw
from this perDlexing problem. but It
also is doubtless the right conclusion
Stahl and Merkle are equally good,
Doyle cancels Wagner and Gardner's
advantage over Herzog is balanced by
Fletcher's superiority over Yerkes-
Pitching staffs, considering the short
ness of the series are equal The

man.
what seems to account for the en-
thusiasm of the believers in Stahl is
the surprise he sprung this season
when, after having been out of the
game entirely for a year, he left his
banking business in Chicago and came
through with an exhibition of first
basing and batting acknowledged to
be far and way the best of his career
In comparing Stahl with Merkle is
found a veteran of authority and con-
fidence, and a younger, faster and
more sensational player.
StahI a Great Hitter.
Stahl hits with terrific force, being
credited with two or three hits which
are calculated as being the longest
ever made. Probably the only Giant
pitcher who will seriously trouble
him in the series is Tesreau, with his
speed and his splitter. Stahl always
has been easy for Ed Walsh, and all
the slippery elm artists get his goat
however, when they land, are uni
formly hard wanops. He dotes on
left-handed FINGERS, and is likely to
tear a leg off the third basemanf any
time a port slider faces him.
AS wide reachers and rescuers of
imperfect throws to the bag, both
Stahl and Merkle have marked abil-
ity. Stahl being credited in the con-
sensus of opinion with a slight degree
of superiority over his opponent in
this respect. Another advantage on
the part of Stahl lies in his long ex-
perience and profound knowledge of
the game.
MerkIe's Work a Feature.
Tt must not be thought, however,
that Merkle is without distinct adj
vantage over Stahl. New York has
not without reason come to look upon
Merkle as the greatest doorkeeper in
the game.
He would be ranked by any IN

biased expert among the first three!
During both the championship years
of his team his work has been
prominent feature. His batting this
season has been even better than
StahPs Merkle takes grip on the
handle of his bat close to the end,
stands quite a distance back from the
plate and swings at the ball with ter
rifle driving power. Although Mer-
kle's superiority over Stahl as a bat
ter is slight he is a faster man on
bases. He has stolen nearly three
times as many bags this year as Jake
and has scored twice as many runs.
This was in playing One-third more
games than the Boston leader
Wagner and Doyle.
There is really no comparison be-
tween Larry Doyle and Steve Yerkes.

This is almost like putting Edison

made Red SOx infield famous all re-

strength OF the infields of the Bos-
ton Red -SOx and New York Giants
are particularly interesting on &C
count of the cocksureness with which
the supporters Of each side affirm that
their favorite basemen outclass the
others. Outclass is the word they
use. Neither New Workers nor the
Bostonese, when they decide to make
a calm and Unprejudiced" survey OF
the infielders, ever find one set
always find the difference over
Whelming.
Each Team Has Two Stars.
Boston has two infield stars-Stahl,
first baseman and manager, and Wag-
ner, shortstop and captain. New York
has two infieId stars-MerkIe. first
baseman, and Doyle, captain and sec
ond baseman. It may be said of
either of these pairs of stars that
without more than two possible ex-
ceptions, they are the strongest indi-
vidual players on their team. Gard
ner, the Boston third baseman, is
player above the team average
Yerkes. the second baseman. plays be-
low the team average-he is, in fact,
the weakest and most threadbare spot
on the crimson hose. Fletcher, the
Giants shortstOp, and HerzOg, third
baseman, both play a game slightly
stronger than the average of their
team.
As far as the above paragraph goes.
the opposing critics practically coin
eide in their dope; but everyone
knows what a lot of dopesters. can
agree upon and still not be within
a mile of agreement on the main
proposition. For instance. there are
recognized experts in New York who
say that Stahl outclasses Merkle. and
recognized experts in Boston who say
that Merkle Outclasses Stahl And,
of course, there are plenty of Boston
