the unanimous opinion of the men
Nothing much more than kicking, q
little running and passing was in
dulged in yesterday. but this morning
the forwards went through a series oE
heavy scrums. That little bit of pass
ing and kicking, however. was enough
to predict what is coming when the
boys go into action.
:.
We have some goal kiokers in CALI
fornia. but Jack Stohr and Dick Rob-
erts yesterday showed some kicks
from placement that would make ones
hair stand on end. Both men are ex-
perts at goal kicking, and from a diff
f1cult angle against strong wind
from fully so yards the ball sailed
just outside the posts on many occa-
sions. The wind was too strong for
effective kicking. but the showing
made was enough to convince any ono
that the majority of trys that are
scored or the tour will be converted
into goals.

phians are hitting the ball at PSI
clip. while the Giants are walloping
the hide to the tune of 268. At fielding
the Athletics show up better in the
percentage column than the Giants.
One man that will be missing in the
Athletics lineup who has been brill
liant star in worlds series games of
the past is Captain Danny Murphy, the
hard hitting outfielder Strunk, Eddie
Murphy and Rube Oldring will be
Mack's gardeners in the big series.

Burns will be in the field for the

There is little to choose between the
clubs in. regard to the outf1elders. 1t
is In the infield that Mack's club has

Baker and McInnis looking after the

known. Doyle. Fletcher, Merkle and

Mack's quartet.

Mack has picked up great young

and he is rated as one of the best
catchers in the American league.
In summing up the strong and weak
points of both clubs IL seems as If
there are only two departments that
the admirers of both clubs can shout
about. The Giant boosters can shout
that McGraw has a big staff of sea-

NEW YORK, Oct 3.-Baseball writ

pretty fair way to know the ability

Opinion regarding the outcome OF
the series appears to be unusually d.

Expressions of opinion on the part

TELLS
WHY He II
LAND
Wise Old Owl Can't See
Where Giants Have Any
thing on His Pitchers

PHILADELPHIA, Oct ST fully
expect TO win the big series" said
Connie Mack. breaking a silence OF
weeks and making his frst definite
prediction about the result Of the
games.
New York Is credited with having
far better pitching stan. but / can't
see the logic of that argument I
have two first class veterans In Ben
der and Plank. I don't want better
pitcher than Bender. There may be
some who can stand harder work dur
ing the season. but there is none who
can do better work
Il only use Bender in games that
must win, and he wins those kind OF
games for me. Bender was 30 years
old last March. which means he is still
in his prime
Plank may be older in years, but
he hasn't pitched as many years as
Mathewson. Mathewson Is a grand
twirler but we took his measure In
1911. and also Marqusrds measure.
1t is said that we can't hit Tesreau or
Demaree, but that's all matter of
speculation. Tesreau didn't help the
Giants much last fall in the games
with the Red Sox. Demaree is an un-
known quantity in a big series. We
might reply by saying that the Giants
won't be able to hit Shawkey. Bush
Houck and Brown.
"Of my youths Shawkey and Bush
will very likely see services In the big
games. Considering the whole situa-
tion, l don't see where the Giants have
any more strength in the box than we
have.
The speed. dash. brains and bat
ting and fielding skill of the Athletic
players can't be denied. They are
serene in mind and think no more Of
the coming series than they do OF one
in the championship season. I never
mingled with cooler propositions. Not
a one is worrying.
Every man is physically fit. II we
lose the series, we can't. offer any
alibis. But I. don't think we will lose.
We have too much strength to be
beaten by the Giants, good as the
latter are"

I'm: this final article of my regular
:. service / want to take up the substl-
.tsjfes on the. two clubs and the ele-
.-.Ysiert .of luck before 1 begin to ana
lyze the teams for my general stories
or the series. =:
The value to a. club Of capable sub
stitutes depends largely upon whether
any Of the regulars are injured in the
games. But a strong second string
mat. be instrumental in deciding the
serfes. even If none OF the regulars is
injured. Capable substitutes are more
valuable to the Giants than to the
Athletics. because McGraw's style Of
play ..derhands extra men who are
practically as strong. as the Iegulars;
In this. way be can make his sudden
shifts and do his jockeying, which so
eften battles another club and turns
the tide of battle.
Every. spectator who has ever seen
the. Giants in a tight game has OBJ
served McGraw's methods. Suppose
two clubs have been battling along
at a tie for seven or eight innings.
Chief: Meyers, we will say, singles,
and AfcGraw stops the game mo-
rnentarily while he inserts the fleet
footed Cooper to run for the Indian.
With Cooper Or the bases the chances
OF a run. being scored are much i'm
proved. : Meyers is notably slow on
his: feet
AIcGram. feels that the pitcher
working has something on Merkle,
the next batter so he sends McCor-
mick to the plate to hit. Merkle
has. been weak against a certain style
of pitching this season, but | do not
intend to say here what this weak
ness. is Mccormick gets a hit and
: another man runs for him. as he is
F.. also slow Of foot, Perhaps, If the
rally hold up, McGraw has showed
four or five extra men into the game
during the inning, playing all on this
chance to grab off the game at the
break" It is long gamble, but it
is the only way TO reckon baseball
chances as players and managers see
them. McGraws theory is to ride
every opening to the limit and take
long chances. 1t seems to be very
good idea If you consult his percent
age of wins as reference.
But when the club goes to the
field for the next inning, capable
substitutes must be available to MI
up the cavities left by the men whose
places have been taken by base rum
ners and pinch hitters. OF course.
neither Cooper. nor Mccormick stick
in the game. Mclean goes behind the
bat in Meyers place, and Snodgrass
comes to first base in Merkles Nc
Graw can afford to ride his oppor-
tunities because he has the substi-
tutes to fill in without greatly weak
ening his team in the process.
