In sizing up the individual players on
the two contending teams for the cham
pionship of the world too much stress is
laid on the averages made during the
regular playing season of 1874 games In
many cases there is no other way to
compare the players, except by dissect-
ing their general averages. But a better
way to arrive at a satisfactory result is.
not by comparing what player has done
in his seasons work, but by what a
player may do in the short series. 1t is,
OF course, impossible to guess just what
PLAYER may do in the worlds series,
for the unexpected is always happening
in the big event. But by studying a
players character. his general makeup,
his nerve, the chances of his standing
the gait of the big series. etc. one may
get more satisfactory comparison.
Take the outfield of both clubs. for eN-
ample. Boston is supposed to have the
best outfield in either league, according
to critics who have watched both leagues
perform. There are Speaker. Hooper and
Lewis. three sterling ball players. VIII
these men. who have made such an en-
vsable record this season. stand up be-
fore the strain of a big series?
Speaker will be the same brilliant play
er in the worlds series as he has been
all season. and in seasons past. AS for
Hooper and Lewis, neither of these men
is hitting the ball as hard as the aver
age outfielder in the American League.
Both have exceptionally fine throwing
arms, however. and both are wonderfully
fast men. There are numerous other
outfielders that We're they put along
side of Iris Speaker in that Bos-
ton outfeld would show up equally
as strong, if not a good deal stronger.
In other words. the Boston outfield has
earned the reputation of being one of
the best outfields in the country mainly
if not solely, on account of having Iris
Speaker to build around. But, irrespec-
tive of what they have done this season.
can they stand the gaff Of the big series?
Will all of them show up we'll in the
seven-game affair as they have all sea-
son, or better?
The averages of both outfelds follow:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-09-25

Speaker has nerve. He Will stand the
gait. He will play the same brand OF
ball in that affair as he has all season,
except that it will be matter to specu-
late about as to whether or not he will
hit 1888 clip. Seldom do the real classy
stars of the season bat in their usual
brilliant style in the short series. and
Speaker may follow in the footsteps or
Tyrus Cobb and others who have fallen
down at the critical time.
Hooper is also a nervy player. as Is
Lewis But whether these two can come
through with their usual good brand of
ball is matter that cannot be decided
until the big event is on. They are puiit
on lines that promise much. Each Is Il
player little affected by the yelling of big
crowds in the stands. that is. during the
regular season. The lure of the glltterlng
gold; the fact that difference OF a
thousand odd dollars depends on their in
dividual work. may have some erect on
their nerves. as it undoubtedly has on
the nerves of all ball players. and is q
question that enters largely into the SUBJ
ject.
AS to the outfield of the Giants. it is
the same one that went through the mill
last season with the Athletics. The show
ing they made then would place them in
a poor light On their last season form
it looked like they should have played
some brilliant ball against Connie
one reason why that seasons form
counts for little in comparisons OF this
kind. Josh Devore, who played a bril-
liant game last year, and who has PLAYED
some good ball this year, will again take
part in the worlds series. Josh should
profit by his last seasons experience. He
was greatly excited in that big affair.
and his nervousness got the better of
him. 1t is unlikely. however. that he will
let the fact that it is worlds series,
and not an ordinary game, affect his
playing this time.
Aside from Devore, there is "Red"
Murray. True. Murray looked like any
thing but ball player last year. and yet
this season he has made some of the
most wonderful catches in the outfield
ever witnessed. Red is a grand out
fielder, every bit as fast anything the
Red Sox can show, and he has been hit
ting the ball this season.
The law of general averages should
make this player hit for good average
in the coming series. The fact that he
did not get hit in the last worlds series
should not initiate against him. He will
most likely reverse the order this trip
and make good. His character is such
that he will profit by his past experience.
He is nervy and real ball player.

Those favoring the Giants in the
worlds series are again pointing out that
the Boston catchers will have a hard
time stopping McGraw's players from
running wild on the bases. Just what
there is about the Giants record to give
them the reputation of being marvellous
base runners is not plain In the last
worlds series there was nothing particu-
larly brilliant about the base work of
the New Workers.. In fact, the Athletics.
who have never boosted of their speed,
stole just as many bases as did the
Giants, and they probably made fewer
attempts.
Nor must it be supposed that the Bos-
ton catcherS have not had some fast men
to contend with during the present sea-
son. Cobb, Collins and Milan are base
runners who cannot be OverShadOWed by
any in the National League. Teams OPP
posing Boston have not averaged more
which speaks we'll for the effectiveness
Of the Boston catchers, SO that there is
really no great danger of the Giants
stealing everything in sight.
Horace Fogel, president OF the Phla-
delphia National League club, believes
the Giants will win the pennant. and he
gives the following reasons for the upset
of the Red Sox:
I'm Chief Meyers New York has one
Of the best catchers in the country-as
thrower, thinker and certainly as
ba tsman. He probably will catch every
game Of the series. He is better than
either Carrigan or Cady, that's certain
Fred Merkle is a better all-round
ball player than Stah. Yerkes is a fast
little second baseman and a fair hitter,
but against him the Giants have Doyle.
one of the best hitters in the game, with
an average Of 1856
Boston has the call at third base.
Larry Gardner has become a demon this
season. He is hitting 1913, while Charles
Herzog is only batting .263. Charles Wag-
ner should beat Fletcher of the Giants.
