NEW YORK. October 4.-Manager Nc
Graw of the Giapts is putting about as
much faith in the experience of his men
as in their individual playing to bring
home the championship of the world S
series The Giants. he says. will go into
the game thoroughly posted from playing
against Connie Mack's veterans last year,
and McGraw's point seems to be worth
remembering.
The Giants know that they made mis-
takes last year, and they will try to
rectify- them when they shape up with
the Red Sox. 1t must not be forgotten,
however. that with the exception Of Cady,
the young catcher, the Beaneaters are
old in the service, although as a team
they are going to play their first series
for the worlds title.
Boston sharps seem to think that
Smoky Joe Wood will not only pitch for
the Red Sox in the opening game, but
will repeat the third game Of the series,
also scheduled for this city
Ray Collins Is. the pick for the second
game, and Charley Hall for the fourth.
II fifth game is necessary, the Hub
wiseacres are making themselves believe
that Wood will be equal to the task.
Nobody will know McGraw's pitcher for
the first game until the official announcer
bellows the information through his
megaphone. Tesreau may be held in re-
serve because Of his lack of experience
but this is merely a guess. Some OF the
New York players think that McGraw
will open with Mathewson. who is in
great condition and is conceded to be the
steadfest pitcher on the team.

Moran grounded to Fletcher. 1t was a
hit-and-run play, and as Doyle received
the ball from the New York shortstop he
touched the bag just as Miller collided
with him. Doyle in trying to make
throw to Merkle to complete a double
play wrenched his ankle and hoped
about on one foot Doyle's shoe was
unlaced and it was found that the flesh
had not been cut by Miller's spikes. The
ankle. however. was painful and Doyle
barely hobbled when he decided to keep
his position.
Cutshaw followed with a grounder that
Doyle stopped, but as he did not try to
move from his tracks. his throw was
wild. Merkle, however, ended the game
by relaying the ball to the plate in time
to nip Morgan. Doyle then limped off
the field with half dozen anxious Giants
asking him how he felt. He said his
ankle had not been sprained, and thought
1t would be all right today. If Doyle
should be laid up by this injury the
Giants would enter the worlds series in a
serious predicament.

never failed on one, while Johnson fielded
his position SO well that he killed off
seven nasty grounders. Sweeney drove
one of them full speed against Johnson's
bare hand and the game was stopped for
moment while he tried to rub his hand
back to life. 1t was a wicked blow, but
Johnson got his man just the same. Had
Daniels not made a circus catch of La
porte's long drive in the eighth the WASH
ingtons would have been a run better off
than they were.

the game. We've got the edge on that
Athletic bunch, and nothing short of q
man being hurt is going to keep us out of
second place."
1t is reported that If the washingtons
beat the Athletics out Griffith will cash
some bets he made with the Athletic
players early In the season, when he told
them that they would finish behind
Washington, and was perfectly willing to
back his opinion with cash. Evtrybody
in New York hopes that Griffith will win,
for the game fight which the Washing
tons have made all the season in the
race. "A lot of folks have quoted me as
saying that I thought Boston would

statement. Boston may win, but know

Conservative base ball men say that
Griffith has done the American League
one of the greatest goods that has hap
pened to the organization in years. The
point which they make is that Washing
ton In being pushed ahead as far as sec
ond place in the race of this year not only
becomes a valuable road attraction for
the season Of 1913, but that it will as
sist materially the interest in the east
ern half of the American. League circuit,
which has suffered sorely because of the
inability Of the New York management
to place a good team in this city. Ffnan
cially New York has been an awful frost
to the American League this year, and
many manager has left the city regret
ting the loss of attendance which has
followed the inability of the Highland
ers to win. For two seasons in the
American League the Highlanders have
gone fairly well, but this year they have
been back where they were when the
club was first put in New York If Wash
ingtOn had been in the second division
this season the eastern end of the Ameri-
can League circuit would have been moth
ing short of a frost except for Boston. as

mia girl plays Miss Margaret Curtis of
Boston. the 1911 champion. The other
pair will be Miss Semple Of st. Louis and
Mrs. r. H. Barlow OF Philadelphia.
Miss Semple yesterday morning played
the first nine holes of the country, re-
sulting in the amazing score Of 40, and
stood upon Mrs. Wheeler. whom she de-
feated by to 2.
Mrs Barlow had rather easy match
with Mrs. Filter, whose game was un-
steady, but brilliant at times.
Miss margaret Curtis had to play an
extra hole to defeat Mrs. Fox, the oldest
player in the tournament.

MANCHESTER, Mass. October A.
Miss Kate Mellus of Los Angeles. who
has been the surprise of the national
women's golf tourney. came through
again yesterday. administering a most
unexpected defeat to Miss M. w. Phelps
of the Brookline Country Club. At the
ninth hole Miss Phelps was up on Hiss

fourteenth hole had been played. Then

1t is pretty safe guess that Alva Will
Jams will be in more games next season
than he was in this. In fact, Williams
would. have caught in comparatively few
games but for the fact that Henry and
Ainsmith were incapacitated. yet he has
shown so much ability since he has been
given a chance that he is assured to
work regularly next season. He has
proven himself one of the best hitters on
the team, and while he is not a wonder
full catcher, he more than holds up his
end in this respect.
McGraw and Marquard viewed the
game between the Athletics and Boston
yesterday, but it is not likely that they
were benefited thereby. unless they gained
an exaggerated idea Of the hitting ability
of the Red SoX.
Games such as the one of yesterday are
not of the kind that tip off a teams sys-
tenn of play. 1t was a One-sided smuggling
match and McGraw and his big left
handler probably were none the wiser
when the game was over.

Wilson is rated by many almost upon
