MAY STOP GIANTS
Collins Figured to Beat Ma
tionaI Leaguers.
CAN'T HIT LEFT-HANDERS
Gothamites Have Been Weak
Against Southpaws All
the Season.

DETROIT. Mich. September 11.-Ray
Collins is big. big man down east. Ray
is Jake Stahls big southpaw. Out here
in the west no one is particularly wild
about Ray We all know he is a good
portsider and effective against the IT,
gers-at times-but never have we con-
sidered Ray one fit for the rawlings OF
base-ball-mad public.
In the east. though, they believe that
Ray is the best southpaw in the Ameri-
can League. and that belief prevails in
spite of the ranking of Eidie Plank. the
on Connie Mack's hurting staff this year
who Is pitching up to expected form. IL
all the pitchers were equal to Plank the
Athletics would today be leading the Red
Sox. Still. the east says Collins is the
pick of Bans offside beavers.
Giants Weak Against Southpaws.
One reason why they believe he will be
the boy to stop the Giants if McGraw's $
men meet Boston in the world series is
that New York happens to be weak
against southpaws. There are large
number of portside beavers in the old
league who hung it on the Giants this
season. There are Rucker and Benton and
Leifield and there are others They claim
last season he was generally regarded as
one of the very best hurlers in the old
organization. If the Giants are SO weak
against the left-handers IN their league
what will good southpav' like Collins do
to them? That is what they are asking
in the east.
Collins had a bad start this year. Jake
Stahl feared that he would be of little
use in the pennant fight for the Red Sox,
but he has rounded to form and lately
Joe Wood is the only Boston pitcher to
display any more class ths.n Collins. The
Red Sox themselves believe that 1t will
be Collins, and not Wood. who will pitch
them to a worlds championship. provid-
ing they beat the National Leaguers.

Speaker has absolutely no weakness
at bat" says Walter Johnson. You
might just as we'll pass him as to try to
coax him to offer at bad balls When
iris comes up, all do is to put every
thing I have on the ball, and pray that
he does not hit 1t on the nose"
Evening star., 1912-09-11

George Stovall, manager Of the st.
Louis Browns. is quoted as saying that
Iris Speaker is a better outfielder than
Ty Cobb, and that Joe Wood Is greater
pitcher than Walter Johnson. He adds
that the Red Sox is the best team ever
developed i'm the American League, and
that II will easily beat the Giants.

BY II. c. BYRD.

The real strength of the Pepco nine was
demonstrated yesterday when 1t defeated
the team Of All-Stars at Independence
League Park. That the Electricians were
able to get away with the long end of the
score against a club of the caliber of
that which was secured to face 1t in the
exhibition contest is proof positive that
they have one of the strongest combina-
tions that have played in the District in a
long while.
The A1l-Star aggregation was made up
in the main of the best amateur players
in the District and on 1t were five men
who have been playing professional ball
during the greater part of the year.
Handiboe. Brown, Giebel, Walters and
Schultz have all made enviable reputa-
tions in Glass C organizations during the
played on the team were above the aver
age, by great deal.
OF course. the fact that the Pepco nine
has been playing together all year under
a system of signals is something in its
favor. but it was not generally expected
that 1t would be able to win from tn.
combination it was scheduled to play
Inat 1t did so shows it is deserving of all
the more credit
That game yesterday, although an ex-
n1Dlt1On contest, was well worth Witness
ing. Some of the best ball seen this year
on the amateur lot was evidenced. There
was not period during the contest when
the spectators We're not we'll satisfied
with the kind of play put up.
Two of the runs secured by the Pepco
nine Were the results of misplays on the
part of Al Handiboe. Giebel had made.
throws to second which had not been
stopped and Al came running in to back
up the plays. He had figured each time to
make One-hand stop, which would give
him chance to make a quick throw to
third and get the runner. He had not
calculated on the quality Of the ground,
though, and the result was that the ball
went by him on erratic bounds, and the
base runner scored each time. On good
field Handiboe would probably have had
the runner at third on each occasion
had he attempted to make that base.
