M'GRAW STUDIES
 THE RED SOX TEAM

New York October 1.--Manager John J. McGraw of the New York Giants went over to Washington to size up the Bos- ton Red Sox. With the world series strug- gle to begin here, just week hence, Me Graw took one of the earliest opportuni- ties offered since his team clinched the pennant to steady his opponents. He was expected to pay particular attention to the tactics of Jake Stahl, the Boston leader with whom McGraw will match in the big games. He had no opportuni- ty, however, to study the pitching of Joe Wood, for Stahl put in Bedient, one of his second string men.
 During McGraws absence Marquard and Tesreau. two of the star pitchers who are being groomed for the worlds series, went down to defeat by Philadelphia. It was a shock to the Ardent fans" to see second division team bunch hits in three innings and finish with score of to ? against their favorites. Marquard had to be taken out in the fifth and Big Jeff Tesreau did even worse work, allowin 2 seven hits and giving four bases on balls.
 Before leaving, McGraw reiterated his confidence of triumph in world series. Our experience of last year will help us greatly" he said. "Go back over the records and 1 think you will find that in every case where the same team has played in the world series in consecutive years It. was stronger aggregation the second time than 1t was the first"

MARQUARD GIVEN
 THE REST CURE

of the New York Giants has been giving Marquard the rest cure so that he may not be at his worst in the worlds series and the well informed among New York fans are counting on this favorite son as a probable heavy actor in the pitching department of the Nationals. Marquard was overworked in his attempt to beat the record for straight victories and his man. ager decided to let him recover his nerve and stamina. He is now working like a beaver in private and McGraw expects to have him keyed up to the top notch at the proper moment.

Following are few of the opinions or leading baseball authorities of the country on the outcome of the world series con tests It will be noticed that among the managers and players who make predic- lions as to the winners, in every case they pick the leaders of their respective leagues.
 Ty Cobb says;
 .I favor Bostons chances of winning the 1912 worlds series, although don't believe the Red sox should com mond big odds ins the betting, because baseball is so uncertain that some little turn of the game is liable to make the Giants winners.
 .Roston's strength lies in their won derful attack, backed up by some star pitchers. The fielding of the Red sox is also very strong, and all statistics favor them over New York.
 '.The Giants have an exceptionally strong team. and I believe they will make a much stronger fight than they did in the series of 1911. They will go into the 1912 series knowing the ropes better and will settle down to business much quicker than they did last fall
 Says James McAleer, president of the Boston Red Sox:
 ''I am confident the boys will go ahead and win the worlds series. After that they will give Boston good baseball for four or five years to come witnout changes In the ranks.
 We have won this Year, not because the other fellows have gone back, but , because our boys have found themselves. they have been, coming. They became due And now they have arrived. They will stay for a long time to conle. Iiughie Jennings says:

 John Kline: The series the Giants were in last fall will do them great deal ar good Matty I look for to win and also for Marquard to come through with some sood pitching.
 Rube Marquard: I haven't seen the Red Sox rlay this season, and haven't had q chance to study them l am basing ny observations on the figures.
