 McGraw can certainly muster a strong array of pinch hitters and base running talent in Meyers Mccormick. CrandaH, Becker, Shafer, Burns and Groh.
 In an effort to show that the Giants will be terribly nanhandled when they face Joe Wood in the worlds series an argument has been advanced that McGraWs men are weak against fast pitching. Wood, in the opinion of those who have watched him and fol- lowed his record this season, is con- siderable pitcher to say the very least, and he looms up as the greatest ob- stdcle to be hurd1ed in the coming fray But it does not appear that the Giants are weak against fast pitehing- sush men as Alexander, not questioned, have fallen before the champions this season with consider able regularity On the other hand Richie, of Chicago, with a tantalizing slow ball and no pretense of great speed has been the bane of the Polo Grounders' existence,
 President McA1eer of the Red Sox is having his ball park enlarged So as to accommodate the crowds that will demand admission for the big games next month. Work has been started on new stands that will be erected around the outfieId and another is to be built at the left of the grand stand. For those who like altitude with their baseball. seats will be provided on the roof. The beams of the grand stand are being strengthened for that purpose.
 Clark Griffith and Barney Dreyfus are waiting for manifestations of in terest and jingle of real money before arranging the post-season series be- tween the Pirates and Senators. Nothing has been definitely decided yet, although the matter was preached several weeks ago. These clubs now figure to finish third in their respec- tive leagues and both have been putting up a good fight all season they provide an interesting series.
 This is open season for the inaugu- ration of plans for the fall barn stroming tours in baseball Out on the Pacific Coast arrangements are being made to take a Yankee team in to Australia It is planned to carry fifteen men, including an extra bat tery which will be loaned to the op- posing clubs so that the local talent can win an occasional game

San Francisco, Sept 2O.-"Whether
any man meets Champion Ad Wolgast
at Taft or not, am going to get him
in the ring with Ritchie If | have to
camp on the champions trail the rest

This was the declaration here this
afternoon of Billy Nolan, manager of
Willie Ritchie, the San Francisco light
weight, in turning down an offer of
$4,000 for Richie to meet Wolgast at
Taft, Cal, on Thanksgiving day.
"Ritchie must have as much as VOL
gast gets" said Nolan, "or there will
be no fight. If Wolgast is given $780,
900, then Ritchie must get $4,000.
Richie can make more than $4,000 for
a 10-round fight in the East. ~
"Wolgast may escape a beating by
the Taft promoters not offering us
more money this time. But we will
get him sooner or later, and when we
do, Mr.. Wolgast had better kiss his
title good-by before he enters the
ring"
