The Georgian will have the greatest array
of baseball talent representing it at the

William A. Smith manager of the Atlanta
baseball club has been exclusively engaged
and will report the games, play by play, for
The Georgian extras. His reports will appear
in no other papers. This is the first time that
a man of real baseball prominence has ever
covered a series and reported it, play by play,
for any paper. Watch for this big exclusive
feature in The Georgian's baseball extras
Three big league players will look out for

Sox Must Win First With Wood
Or Giants VIII Cop---Doc White
By "Bud'' Fisher

Red Sox be put under a heavy
handicap so far as the remainder
of the games are concerned, but
their playing would be affected
1t is all right to talk of game"
ball clubs. l think that the Red
Sox are one all right. I'm quite
certain that every man on that
team is a courageous ball player,
o otherwise the Boston fellows would
not have won so easily in our
league.
Here is what | am getting at.
The Red Sox have unbounded faith
in Wood. He has been almost I'M
beatable this season. They are
convinced that he will have all the
better of the Giants Now, if the
New Workers succeed in overthrow
ing Wood, then the confidence Of
the Red Sox will be shattered and
they will find it difficult to play
with the same dash that they would
have shown had their idol won his
game.
Will Be No Runaway Race.
On the other hand, If Wood
should get away to a good start
and win not only will the Red Sox
have the advantage so far as actual
games are concerned, but the conf
dence which the fellows had in
Wood at the start will be increased
and heightened until they will be
unable to see how they can be
licked. They will play with greater
dash and confidence than ever be-
fore, and team possessing the
playing strength of the Red Sox,
reinforced by confidence, forms a
mighty tough combination to beat.
That is my reason for saying that
it all depends upon Wood. II he
can win, fine for the Red Sox. If he
loses the opening battle, then It's
fine for the Giants. because, in my
opinion, the New Workers will be
well on their way toward the
worlds championship
From which it may be gathered
that l am not among those who
think that the Red Sox are going
to run away with that worlds
championship flag, l wouldn't want
to predict the number of games
that it will go, but l don't mind
saying that I think the Boston lads
will have their hands full. with
their big chance coming right at
the first day.

HESS WINS EIGHTH IN
ROW FOR PILGRIM CLUB

You can talk about your Marquards
your Johnsons and your Woods, but
the most marvellous of all the pitching
performances of the year has been pull
ed by twO-headed Otto Hess. former
Pelican pitcher. who arose from the
grave this year and who has just fin
ished eight straight wins for the Bos
ton Nationals team
If Hess had been a man OF reasonable
age, it might have been different But
he's old, He did grand work for New
Orleans last year but not one man in a
million supposed that he could get back
in fast company and win any games
He did, however. ana he won them for
the worst team in modern baseball the

but Stahl will get thrown out many
times on drives that for the faster
Merkle would be safe hits. Stahl
also Is somewhat of an impediment
on the bases and likewise fails to
cover the ground around his posi-
ton quite as well as the Giant. He
may be somewhat suffer on thrown
balls, but If SO, that is about the

headWOrk, and Meriile Is not built
of solid ivory in the dome by any
means, despite the frequent knocks
hurled in his direction because of
the one most historic wooden-top
play ever turned.
The Giants catching department
is much more dependable as well
as more brilliant than that of the
Hub horde. In our own humble
opinion, Arthur Wilson Is at least
the equal of Chief Meyers, if not
more, and the New Workers will not
suffer if the Indian is incapacitated
and OLAF" has to get behind the
swinging bludgeon. Both are eter-
nallv hard hitters and average base
runners, despite their bulk, and
they also can execute the rough
and fine points OF the catching art
in top o tn mornin' style. Bill
Carrigan receives much credit from
Stahl for the Red Sox success, but
many find it hard to figure that
Carrigan is anything approaching a
star catcher. The same goes for
Forrest Cady. However, who knows
but what they may upset the dope
just as did Ira Thomas two years
ago, when he was figured the one
weak spot Of the Athletics against
the Cubs and then came to the fore
with eclat?
The utility men are certain to
figure largely in the series, and in
case of injuries or other troubles
both sides are well supplied with
capable reinforcements. Marty
Krug and Henricksen in the out
field and Neal Ball and Clyde En-
gel for the infield are the Red Sox
substitutes, while Arthur Shafer
and Hank Groh for the first line OF
defense and Burns for the garden.

ZOE WOOD and the first game of

ZOE WOOD and the first game of
the series are the two big ifs
- that stand in the way of pro-
claiming the Red Sox the worlds
champions in advance of the game.
The advance wagering makes the
Red SOx the favorites. Not being
in the wagering business and hav-
ing no desire to make a wager, l
am not impressed by that. Wager
ing means nothing, except that the
majority OF the people who want to
wager favor a certain ball club.
Since the majority of the people
are not going to playfn the worlds
championship games I refuse to be
aWed or refuse to believe that the
Red SoX are overwhelming favor
ties in the big series.
II Joe Wood wins the first game
think the Red Sox should be the
faVorites. If Wood pitches and the
Red Sox are defeated in that first
game, then | would not want to
have much of my money strung on
them.
The first game of a worlds series
is always a big factor in determin-
ing the winner. 1t did not hold
good last year, but it has been the
general rule that the team that took
the first grabbed the bunting EN-"
blematic of the highest honors that
can be won on the diamond. The
first game this year is going to be
of more Importance than ever be-
fore, in my opinion.
Opener in Big Battle Means Much.
If Wood can get the first game
the Red SoX will have the edge
Wood is a strong fellow, a man
who can come back and if he can
start with a win he should be able
to duplicate and probably make it
three during the series. In my
opinion he is the twirler that will
have to bear the brunt of the work.
If he gets away with a lose the
Red Sox will suffer a tremendous
handicap.
In fact, it is difficult to over
estimate the damage that would be
done the chances of the Red Sox
should Wood be beaten in the ini-
tial contest. Not only would the

Pitchers Are Even.

but, judging from the way he
pitched against the Highlanders,
his slump lasted about as long as
the flight of shooting star across
the sky.
Ray Collins. the second best
pitcher in the Stahl crew, while
not generally figured as formidable
as either Mathewson or Tesreau,
is a consistent winner and his
pOrtside delivery may prove even
more effective against the Giants
than Woods right handed smoke
balls; for the Giants do not hit

ers. In the post-season series
played by the Giants and Red SoX
in 1909 Mathewson defeated Wood.
but was conquered by Collins. The
sturdy Vermont youth won undying
fame in Boston in that victory
over MattN. He held the Gotham
ties to five scattered hits. two of
which were decidedly lucky ones.
While Collins has not had worlds
series experience, this previous APP
pearance against the Gothamites
will tend to make him feel at home.
and anyway, his record shows him
in the light of a fine riser to big
occasions. He has done his best
work in crucial games
