New York. October e.-Mnrouard
Is our anchor to wirdward We will
be in sorry plight IL he does not stop
the Athletics at Shibe Park to-mor-
row. l look for the "Rube" to give
a very good account of himself. He
was off-color in the opening game. |
never saw man more serious in his
intentions to wreak vengeance on a foe
than is this sterling left-hander
There Is a possibility, or course, that
McGraw may decide on AL Demaree. I
think. however he will crafty the as
pirations of AIarquard. Our manager
has never been overly strong for in
experienced men. lie usually keeps
the recruits sitting on the bench a
season or two before he gives them
a chance. Demaree has pitched won
derful ball for us this season. but so
Tar as worlds series competition is
concerned. he is absolutely untried And
we have too much untried timber,
through force OF circumstances. to
present our very best front.
McGraw keeps his own counsel He
doesn't tell any or us what he in
tends to do. But / am inclined to think
that he VIII start Demaree only in
case OF the most dire necessity
The series has reached that acute
stage where it does not pay either
manager to gamble on unknown uuan-
titles. For this reason, | am sure Con
ME Mack will come back at us with
Bender. hope Bender does pitch to-
morrow. | am sure We would square
the series on him. And we would have
good Old AIatty TO fall back upon for
the lead on Saturday.
or course, Demaree would not look
bad to me. either. for he is unusually
cool and deliberate, and is possessed
Of one OF the shrewdest heads in the
game.
Every worlds series, somehow seems
to uncover some phenom. Babe Adams
blossomed out in 1910. and Hugh Bed-
emit last year 1t may be In the cards
for Demaree to save us IL given the
opportunity. Some intlmated to me
after to-day's game that Busch had
filled the usual mission. I would not
detract one whit from this young mans
glory. The final score testifes to his
worth. Still. ! do not think the game
was q fair test OF his ability From
the very start he enjoyed n command
ing lead. He could AFFORD to take
chances. We had to go out for cus-
ters OF runs. One or two would have
been absolutely no good. Fortified in
this knowledge Busch was able to
frame his game accordingly. That he
did not enjoy the absolute confidence
OF Connie Mack was shown by the
frantic exercises of tho relief brigade
every timo Bush got into tight place
Tesreau disappointed us. We had
figured that spit would stop the
Qualiers. They hit ali else that Big
JEFF offered. His fast ball puzzled
Connie Mack's men, and on the few
occasions when he offered slow ono
the enemy was completely baffcd They
seemed to lie In wait for that old spit
q N IN n Ea To- Mold
It came along, which leads me to be-
lieve that Tesreau was way Off his
usual form.
If the big fellow had been able to
put half the stuff on the ball which
he showed at the wind-up OF the open
ing game. he would never have been
bumped the way he was In the first two
rounds
1t must be said for Tesreau that no
was up against terrific odds after the
second inning. But he finished strong
and If he gets another crack at the
Athletics am sure he will square ac-
counts.
Our hope tomorrow rests with that
game. l feel confident that we will
win, and II we do, 1t will leave Mathew
son for the big edge on Saturday
Mack must use either Bender or one
of his young pitchers. / think after
the manner in which we received the
Indian the first day we are pretty sure
10 trim him. | do not think that any
other Athletic colt can handcuff us the
way Bush did. He got the jump. We
refused to let him put himself In

Tesreau would have shown the young
gentleman Il merry time of 1t.
Regular Giant pitching would have
given US both games we lost. 1t is
time for our tossers TO hit the proper

enough for me.
