Annual RaUe OUer Big Series
In On In Earnest With Fans
Mathewson and Bender May Be the Opposing Pitchers
in the First Game, at New York-Tesreau Is Also
Looked Upon Favorably- Demaree May

is as cool and steady as they make EN-
and he pitches just as well away rom
home as he does when the crowd IS
with him The spectators never seem
to bother him. His delivery has baffled
heavy hitting teams Of the National
league and may bother the Athletics
In only one game this season has
Demaree been hit hard, and that was
early in May, when he had sore
arm. Temperamentally he is well
fitted to pitch in these important
games, and his puzzling change OF
pace may be more effective than
speedy curves or "spitters."
The proposition for a spring series
between the Giants and Yankees was
knocked out in one punch BY manager
7 do not want to bring my team
back here as early as April !, sa1o
McGraw, "and I am opposed to sending
out nv pitchers in the raw weather We
may expect at that time Of the year
NV idea is to get a good start in the
championship season, and could not
accomplish that with sore armed pitch
ers We will play the Yankees q fall
series any time both teams are beaten
out for the pennant- You remember
the Pittsburg team and the Boston
Red Sex played a series at Hot Springs
last March. Neither Of these teams
showed championship class. and my
opinion is that the spring games threw
start. Joe Wood hit Byrne in that
series and also acquired a sore arm
which ruined him for the season"

When Albert Demaree is logged out
in his green hat and street scenery he
looks like anything but an athlete
Sharp eyed fans can spot ball players
on the street, but Demaree is seldom
recognized He has lot OF fun talk
ing baseball to fans who do not recog-
nize him. After a game in Cincinnati.
Demaree rode to his hotel in a crowded
street car He had been taken out
OF the game in the fifth inning. and
left the park with the first rush OF
spectators after the ninth inning. Gin
cinnati started to buzz Demaree about
Z can't see that guy penIakee" de-
clared the fan ns~
No. neither can I. replied Benares
trUthfully.
He amt got a thing. yet he fools
the Reds and all Of the others so much
that he leads the league said the fan.
Pretty soft for him being with a team
like the Giants He'd never win for
the Reds with that dinky pitching"
That's right" assenteG Demaree.
I'll bet he's glad ne isn't playing with
the Reds"
7 enjoy talking to those fellows
says the pitcher, for they give me
many a laugh And they take the con-
eeit out OF a chap. From what I hear
about myself don't believe I'm much
of a pitcher

EW YORK, Sept. SO.-It is on
n nowl That annual rave about
L the big series which will oRen in
New York on Oct. z.
In the following dialog the listen
er may be any baseball player, mana
ger, writer or person who does not
pay real money to see the games and
is therefore. supposed to know the
real inside stuff:
Fan-Wen, whaddayu think about
the series?
victim-Oh, I guess it'll be pretty
close.
Fan-Who d'yu like?
Victim-Wen. if the Giants can hit
7 think they have a great chance, out
if Bender and Plank are right, etc.
Fan-D'yu think McGraw will take
a chance and open with Demaree or
will he stick to Matty?
Victim-I dunno.
Fan-D'yu suppose Connie Mack
will work Shawkey at all or do you
think Plank and Bender will do all
the work2
V;ctim-Dunno.
Fan-Tm a little afraid of Schang.
D'vu think he can hold the Giants on
the bases?
Victim-Maybe-
Fan-who'n play third base, shafer
victimGHelp! Helpl Gals down in
Next day the fan meets some friends
and pans the life out of his latest vic
tim.
Secret of Managers.
If we knew all about the plans Of
Mack and McGraw and how they would
work out we would never work after
the worlds series because we would
bet the whole works on the winner.
But we are informed by those men that
they do not know much about their
plans yet themselves.
Bender Is First Choice.
In the first game on the Polo
grounds we have an idea that Mathew
son viii pitch against Bender. Tes-
reau is also possibility, but Bender
may be regarded as a certainty no
matter where the series opens The
indian is fit and will pitch every other
game If necessary.
Last fall Mathewson did not pitch a
game against the Red Sox at the Polo
grounds. All three of his starts were
in Boston and his record was two
defeats and a tie. though he deserved
three victories 1t is probable that
AIcGraw may switch and work Matty
at home this time, but the Athletics
are a more dangerous team on the
Polo grounds than the Red SOx were
because they boast of more right field
hitters- IN q close game one of those
home runs INTO the grandstand is q
cTusher.
Tesreau May Open.
If Tesreau is in good form he may
again open for New York The big
fellow has been improving his control
for the past month. If he is right
there is less chance of the Athletics
knocking his ''spitters" out Of the lot
Spitball pitching well controlled re-
suits in epidemics of pop flies. From
now until the end Of the regular sea
son Tesreau will be worked often.
In the first game in Philadelphia
Demaree may be the pitcher. Albertus

Chances men slammed Coombs's offer
ings viciously. Nothing but superb sup
port and the ability of the Mackmen
to make plenty of runs GRABBED Coombs
to survive three victories in succession.
Bender's Great Work.
That stole redskin. chief Bender, was
between the Giants and Athletics. He
contributed two triumphs to the Attn
letic cause. He lost one game, though
He gave 16 hits in the trio of encoun-
tiers.
Last year. Joe Wood was credited
with three victories and one defeat, but
Christy MatheWson was recognized as
the pitching hero of that series, al
though he lost two games and tied an
other. Hard luck deprived him Of vic
tory in each instance
Series of 1856.
We Will now harp on ancient history,
starting with the worlds series In
1885 Comiskey'S Browns beat AnSOn'S
Chicago White Sox that year, Caruth-
ers and Foutz pitching great ball for
the Browns In the 1885 series between
Chicago and St Louis, each team won
three games and one was a tie The
players got Sal piece out of this
series. Last year each of the Red SoX
drew down s4O24sS for his share.
Comiskey's Browns figured in four
worlds championship clashes. Detroit
beat the Browns in 1887. Lady Bald
win-one of the greatest southpaws of
his time-won six games and lost one
for Detroit.
Pitching Duel of 1855.
The worlds series of 1888 between
st. Louis and New York was marked bv
a splendid pitching duel between Tim
othy Keefe and Charlie King. Keefe
beat King. three straights-2 to 1, 4 to
, and to 4-and won the series for
New York.
In the Temple cup series Of 1895 be-
tween Cleveland and Baltimore, old Cy
Young won three straight games for
the Cleveland outfit Baltimore won
one game, Charlie Esper defeating
Mig" Cuppy.
Baltimore and Cleveland also hooked
up in 1896. Young was batted out of
the box by the Orioles in the first
game. Hoffer and Joe Corbett pitched
four straight victories for Baltimore.
Bobby Wallace. now with the st. Louis
Browns and the veteran of the Ameri-
can league, pitched the second game for
Cleveland, working against Corbett

or George u. Cohan or any Of the
Cohan school in this line In observing
his scenery, you could not tell Harry
from an actor when you meet him out
OF his uniform. You would never
peg" him for a ball player off the
field and there are lots of folks who
say they have never regarded him as
one on. but they must have their lit
tie knock Mccormick knows how to
inhabit his clothes as the. saying goes,
and he is death at a finishing school
dance.
Mccormick, who is sometimes called
'Mush. the Moose" by the baseball
writer's, but nothing was ever found
to be in the name, is one of the most
rrofuse telephoners in the big leagues.
He is always in there telephOnins
some place. and they say he has an a0-
dress book which is indexed like a city
directory. You can't keep Harry and
his telephone apart, and some maintain
this is why he took up pinch hitting
as a regular job. 1t does not eat into
his time 50 much as being a regular
player Often he gets 10 go TO bat in
the fifth or sixth or seventh inning,
and then, afterwards, he can go to his
telephOning because he is through for
the day
Mccormick is 2S years old. but does
not look it or act il. He came to the
Giants from Jersey City away back
before the days of Mike" Donlin be-
ing a product of Swarthmore college.
It is thought he got his sartorial habits
and junior prom manners there. Nc
Graw traded him to Cincinnati for
Mike" Donlin in 1907 and then got
him back again couple of years later.
Mccormick played left field here and
there for time, but decided to give
up baseball for selling iron or steel for
Pittsburg firm. He did this for a
while but finally made up his mind
to return as pinch hitter at which he
has been working ever since the open

The Max Halford-Eddie Duffy fight
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-09-30

TT HAS become fashionable within
recent years for a big league ball
4 club to carry extra men who might
be termed specialists. Washington
has two comedy coachers, Schafer and
Altrock the Athletics have their spec
ial coach, Harry Davis, and the Giants
have their pinch hitter, Harry. McCOT-
mick.
or course, Harry does other things
besides pinch hit, but not much else
on the ball field For instance, he IS
the best cotilliOn leader on the club,
having stepped into the patent leather
pumps formerly worn by Arthur Dew
lin who used to organize the cotilllon
each year at Marlin Springs, Texas,
where the Giants hold their rehearsals-
The debutantes OF Marlin thought that
Harry was better than DevIin at the
art after this years event, but that is
really no reflection upon poor, old
Arthur because the last one is always
freshest in their young minds. Nc
COrmick devoted a good deal OF time
to making this coullion success, how
ever, and should receive nothing but
credit McGraw said afterwards, ih
commencing Mccormick on his efforts,
that, if Harry had paid as much atten-
ton to spring practice as he had to the
cotillion, he might make quite a ball
player.
Don't think Mccormick has always
been nothing but a pinch hitter. On
the contrary and Notwithstanding no.
Even in late years he has appeared in
the outfield from time to time. but
after a few experiments, McGraw de-
cided it was dangerous as Mccormick
narrowly escaped being hit on the
head with the ball on several occa-
SONS. Lately McGraw has just had
Harry get his pinch hits and let it go
at that.
Mccormick is an able dresser and
takes no dust from either John Drew
