game In the fielding average they
stand last tied with the Braves On
the other hand, the SON are second
That possibly accounts for the Red SOx
having won more games with weaker
batting team.
Boston Has One Base Runner.
Don't understand it from this that
the Red SOx are weak hitters. Far be
IL from that. they are only one point
behind the Giants in the general aver
ages and they are liable a any time
to start a hitting streak that cannot be
stopped.
While the Red Sox are often referred
to as sluggers it is very interesting to
know that the Giants are far ahead OF
them, according to the records, in long
cleanup drives.
Iris Speaker is the best base runner
on the Boston team He stands third
in the general avera geS. No other BOs-
ton player is listed among the first L.
The Giants have a monopoly on the
base stealing averages in the National.
Doyle, SnOdgrass, DevOre, Murray, Her
zog and Becker.
Pitching VIII Count.
According to these figures the Giants
have a shade the better of the Red
SOX, so it naturally comes down to a
question of pitching. Could the Giants
hit that hard against Joe Wood, Be
dent and Buck OBrien. with his spit
ball? RFhat is a question no one can
answer.
On the other hand the question
against MatheWson, Marquard and Tes-
reau? Many of them have batted
against Matty and though they lost thc
opener to him, they afterwards gave
him trimming. They do not seem to
fear him, but as Jimmy AicAIeer said:
Any team that beats MathewsOn has
to get up and dust. He always pitches
an intelligent game, no matter what is
the condition OF his arm His expert
ence is also of immense advantage to
him"
Wood Is Big Noise.
The work of Vanguard, Bedient. Tes-
rcau and OBrien in a worlds series is
hard to figure. Marquard has been IN
der fire and has more experience than
the others, but he was not successful
against the Athletics. O'Brien and
Tesreau are both spitbau pitchers and
they are bound to be troublesome.
Neither the Giants or Red Sox like to
hit at spitters.
The man Boston supporters are de-
pending on to win the championship is
Joe Wood There is n9 doubling the
fact that he is a wonderful pitcher. He
has a fast ball that is the wonder of
the american league, and his slow one
is d marvel His great change of pace
is bound to wreck havoc with any
string of batters, providing he does not
lose his-head. Wood has been in many
hard fights and should be able to take
care Of himself.

ChriSty MatheWson, the pitcher hero

surely happen if Matty finds that his

deliveries are not effective against the
Sox.
Matty has kept away from the spit

he did not have to sprIhg anything

his effectiveness considerably in the
last two years or so. He has hit very
lew batsmen in his 10 years of big

Tow that the Giants have cinched

TOW that the Giants have cinched
NJ their hold on the National
= y league pennant and that the vic
tory of the Red Sox in the American
league is a foregone conclusion, il
might be interesting for the fans to
know some facts about these two clubs
before laying down their bets. For
some reason the Red SoX have been 4
slight favOrite in the few small bets so
far made, but no reason for that is
shown in the records of the two teams.
It is likely that those who would have
made the Red SOx favorite are banking
on the pitching of Joe Wood. Buck
O'Brien and BedlenI. Remember
though. none of these men has ever
appeared in a worlds series.
To get down to plain, solid and sub
stantial facts, the Giants are heavier
hitters than StahPs crew and have
shown themselves better run getters
For instance, the Giants so far this sea-
son have made 713 runs, while the Red
SOX have made but 67s.
Giants Steal More Bases.
On the bases the Giants are Tar su-
perior to any club in either league
They have stolen IA bases, against
Boston's 162. In the last worlds Sc
ries the Giants base running ability did
not cut much figure, for the simple
reason that they did not get on the
bases. Still, with their hitting ability,
the Giants ought to get a great many
more on the bags this time than they
did against the Athletics.
OF their entire team but one, up to
the latest averages, was hitting below
200. They have seven 300 or better
clOUters, while Boston can boast of but
three in this class. Big Jeff Tesreau
occupies the cellar job in the batting
list, but Jeff Will Undoubtedly more
than make up for this deficiency. He
played in 80 games and succeeded in
gaining but eight hits His average is
.116.
Chief Meyers is the healthiest hitter
on the team of those who play the
game day in and day out. He stands
81. Larry Doyle follows with 1872,
and first sacker MerkIe next with .3O4.
SOx Shine at Fielding.
The Giant pitchers as a whole are
better batsmen than the Red SOx.
Mathewson is hitting at a .265 clip
Marquard at .2O4 and Ames at .20A
Wiltse. who does not stand much
chance OF getting into the series IN
less seven games are necessary, is hit
ting the pill at a 1913 average.
Joe Wood heads the Red Sox smuggling
twirlers with an average of PSI, he
having participated in 40 games and
gained 80 hits: Bedient follows at
.2O6 rate and Collins with .179.

men show any superiority over the
