ers of the Red Sox and
Giants Have Done.

NEW YORK, October 1.-Boston base
bail critics have compiled an interesting,
set of figures to Illustrate the remark
this year, upon which they base the con-
tdent belief that the coming worlds series
will be captured by the American League
the game played by the Red Sox in Wash
ington Saturday.

feats. having a winning percentage of

men having been through the fire of two
worlds series, one of them with tine
New York Giants. the local Americans
expect TO give Jack Stahrs men many
pointers. This they will do partly
through their loyalty to their own league
and partly because James McAleer, presi-
dent of the Boston Americans, managed
the two teams OF star players that kept
the Athletics on edge for their series
against Chicago and New York.
Bender and Coombs will give Wood and
the other right-handed pitchers Of the
Red SoX the benefit of their experience
against the Giants and Plank will do the
same for Ray Collins, left-hander. The
Athletics will, as far as possible, play
the New York style of ball and will try
hard to win. They intend to be especially
spry on the bases in order to give the
Boston catchers an idea of what they
will have to look out for when the
Giants get on the base paths.

Most Of the $:O,OOO which WAS

supporters in the street last
week, hut yesterday they thought
better of the Giants chances, and
put up their money Mt 10 to $.
There is still n lot Of Boston coin
to bc put up at the same odds
and there are more offers than
takers.
While betting on the post sea-

come through in so important a series.
There were two or three stages yesterday
when O Brien seemed to be suffering from
| Il plain case of rattles, and pitcher who
under conditions like those which pre-
vailed yesterday becomes nervous is not
apt to be of much help TO a team in a
worlds series. SO far Wood Is con-
c~rncd he is undoubtedly Il great pitcher,
but he remains to be tested for conditions
such will prevail in New York EeXt
week The Giants having been through
worlds series undoubtedly have an ad-
vantage in this respect
Gulia. the Kansas City recruit, pitched
iii only one inning. but he made a good
impression. The youngster has a good
motion and plenty Of stuff and with ex-
pcl1ence Griffith expects him to make a
good pitcher.
Ensel pitched himself out of hole in
the first inning, when with one out he
walked 1erkcS and Speaker, but he struck
out Lewis and Engel. 1t was not easy
in the second, however, when the visitors
scored their first run. He got rid of
Stahi alright, but walked Wagner. Cady
was thrown out at first, while Wagner
went to second and then O'Bren was
walked Hooper got a scratch hit through
short field and Wagner scored. but
1erkes died at first on Srounder to
Laporte.
Speaker hit for a home run in the
third, which gave the Sox their second
run. and III the fifth another was added on
Yerkes' single and a three-base hit by
Lewis.
Boehling relieved Engel in the seventh
and he got in bad from the start. He
started by hitting Yerkes. but Spea..er
flied out. Lewis hit safely, and Engels
was walked. filling the bases. Jake Stahl
cleaned them with Il lucky two-bagger
over first base, and the score stood to l.
the Nationals having scored a run in the
fourth without making a base hit.
Foster sot a life when Engel fumbled,
and Milan was walked. A double steal was
put on. and Cady's throw was over En-
gels head. Foster scoring and Milan GO
ing to third. Milan died trying to steal
home.
In the seventh the Nationals got busy
with O'Brien. He walked Milan with one
out, and Gandil brought him home with
a double. Laporte flied out. but Shan IS
brought Gandil home with another dou
BILE.
In the ninth came the final rally. Milan
opened with a triple, and after Gadil had
popped up. Laporte hit for two bases
scoring Milan. Then Shanks came through
with his second double, scoring Laporte,
but the next two batters We're unable to
keep the pace, and the game was over.
The score:
Evening star., 1912-10-01

In accounting for his notable perform
ance of stealing eight-five bases, Milan
didn't have any double steals to help him
that is. the attempted double steals in
which If one man was thrown out the
other was credited with steal just the
same. That was scoring rule which was
in operation up to few seasons ago. Old
time base runners were no better than
such men as Collins. Milan, Bescher,
Speaker and Cobb. The now prevalent
use of the hit and run initiates against
stealing.
