knows absollely nothing of baseball
and some the remarks one hears
on the street and in the cars show
that such pole dol exist-it must
seem incomphensible that way out
in the midpafic there are scores Of
men to whom New York and Boston
are not muchhore than a name, who
are eagerly taiting saI the conf
mencement oIthe worlds series, and
following thefortunes OF the Giants
and Red So1rom day to day. And
yet that's jul what lis happening
right here inHonolula Dozens who
have never sen baseball outside of
Hawaii have lefiniteR formed opin-
ions as to With team will carry off
the premier bnors G baseball for
1912, and whh the series starts on
October s the will We considerable
local money 1t on tie result.
Who Will Sta
Which OF tn teams ID the stronger?
Speculation tdthis effect is starting
now that it iAssured they will hook
up in the worfs series championship
| next month.
Trying to tk the winner in a
worlds series las come to be thing
of the past. Instead of endeavoring
to name the Iossible victor, critics
and fans are seculating on what GER
tain individual are likely to accom-
plish in the cries. II began with
the New YorlAthleties series last
fall. Before te games it was pre-
dicted that kbe Vanguard would
pitch every der day and win as
Christy Mathwson did in 1905
against Philadelphia
Vanguard t%led brilliant ball, but
he did not me{ with the. success pre-
dicted. This fl the same prognosti-
] cations probak will be attempted,
although it wilnot be Vanguard who
lis expected I'd be the hero of the
series for the Giants. Without any
hesitation it j safe in spying that
Joe Wood is II one hope Of the Red
Sex. The GiaIS also have "hope. -
1t is not Maredrd or Mathtwson, but
big Jeff Tesrea Tesreau,i ike Jack
Coombs in 191 against the Cubs, is
selected to win anne and gbp in this
falls series.
Johnny Ever of the Cubs accord
ing to Chicago Exchanges, is the first
National Leagu player who declares
that Tesreau the single twirler
Manager McGrw will deped upon.
Evers' reason ir thinking s is the
stature Of the ttcher, combied with
his spitball andspeed. The led Sox
do not like to lace spitball Fingers.
They would raher bat agai st any
other kind of hrling. The have
shown themselHs to be weafAgainst
the moist ball eliverers.
Tesreau Best at.
1t has been t sreaus pitchig with
in the last monh that has pTvented
the Giants from being pushedout of
first place and De championship. He
is the biggest aid strongest 1ther in
the orSanizationand can staht pitch
ing every otherIday. He hBgained
much knowledge since workiia under
McGraw and is lot expected weak
en- before a large crowd. TesiAu was
the only Giant itcher who rs able
to beat the Cubs i'm their last Sfies.
RUDE Not Doing Well.
EVerS does nj look for MQuard
to be of much ad to his tea1ln the
series, as the Rcd Sox like IT left
handlers. Beside, Rube has It con-
fidence since Jimmy Lavend&broke
his wonderful winning streahi Chi
cago. The tall psrt slider has K been
the same since then, as is emon,
strated by the loor record has
made. He has not won mok than
three games sine Lavender hpped
his streak and has been beatehnore
than half dozen times. In 9irioD
to that, he has BEEN taken out near-
ly every game. Hathewson is tpect-
