STEALING IS
A GIANT HABIT
MeGravy's New York Bunch Appear TO
Have the Best of it In This
Line of Work.

The New York Giants the NauOnaI
league entrants for the worlds series
Ia he STAGED next week, have stolen
more bases this year than any other
team in the senior organization, and
their followers expect that when they
get into their important battles with
the Red Sox. they will be able to pill
fer quite few sacks on Carrigan and
his associates on the Boston pitching
staff. The adherents of the Red Sox
as naturally figure that CarriSan, Cady
ct al will be able to keep MeGraW's
band of speedy athletes from running
wild on the paths
Time will tell which set of fans is
right The figures show that Wnen
the Boston and New York clubs played
a post season series in 1903 the New
Workers fnched II hassOcks IN five
games, and the Boston catchers threw
out four men. Bill Carrigan caught
three of these contests and II was ne
who tagged the four McGrawites, Pat
DonOhue not making throw that
stopped anyone.
In the American league this year the
speed boys's opponents have not been
stealing with great frequency on car
rigan, Cady, Nunamaker and Thomas
In the first five months of the season
the Bostonians's adversaries pilfered
157 bases, Chicago getting 80, WASH
ington "a, Philadelphia %, New YORK
%, Detroit p, St Louis 20, and CleVe-
land II, While TIE speed boys's rivals
les los more or less fleet FASTENERS
were being killed of in endeavOring to
steal Thus Carrigan, Cady and the
other two receivers have thrown out
two of every five men who have en-
deavored to do the Raffles act.
Carrigan has had IS bases stolen on
him and his good right arm has cut
down SIS men, Young Cady, Joe Wood s
battery mate. has done even better
than Carrigan. who may or may not
receive some votes for the Chalmers
car this year. Cady has permitted "A
steals and has refused to stand for p
thefts Leslie Nunamaker has cut
down % men who tried to steal bases
and is charged with having allowed
81 steals. Young Thomas. who is not
likely to be given chance to play in
the series. has tagged four men and
his throws have been beaten eight
times.
From the subjoined list Of players
who have been thrown out by the Bos-
ton catchers this season, fans may
make up their own minds as to whether
or not the Giants will be likely 10 run
bases at will on Carrigan, Cady or
Nunamaker.
