GIANTS AND ATHLETICS
LUCKY IN LONG BATTLES
Giants Capture Eleven Extra Inning Conflicts and Lose
Mackmen Take Six and Drop 0ne-Cubs and Tigers
Have Most Luck Against Leaders

the coming National league champions
the short end of the count.
Johnny Evers cubs, who are striving
valiantly to land in second place before
the curtain is run down in the National
league, have had most success with the
Giants They have been returned Win
ners over McGraw's men in two 10-roun1
battles, while, the Superbas and Phillies
own the other two extra-session wins
from McGraw's men.
The longest battles the coming National
league champions have taken part in this
year have IA rounds. Three battles of
this length We're played and each one was
chalked up on the right side of the
ledger. One was from the Pirates, one
from the Phillies and the other from
George Stallings' hustling Braves.
In two extra-round battles with the
Phillies, one over the 11-inning route and
the other for 49, the men of Johnny Nc
Graw were held to tie, while another
at II with the Pirates ended In dead
heat.

pend upon such tactics He will starr
the man he thinks best fitted to go
through to the finish and win.
Young Pennock, l imagine, would be
Mack's best relief twirler, though OF
course Bush, Houck and Brown will
be available for those holes If they do
not start games. McGraw has Fromme,
Crandall and Wiltse, but he mas such
wealth of good material in his first
big four--Matty. Marquard. Tesreau
and Demaree-that l don't believe he
will resort to his second string pitch
ers, using instead as relief Fingers in
case of necessity the best he has.
The pitching situation has been sized
up in a general way only to lead us to
the critical part of this article. You
all know how important good flinging
much is at stake. Considering the
strength of both staffs, McGraw has
the better looking proposition, with
better relief men. Don't misunderstano
that statement to mean that the victory
is conceded to the Giants I'll explain.
Bender VS.. Marquard
l make the prediction that Bender,
for the Athletics. and Marquard for the
Giants, will be on the mound in the
opening game And If Marauard is
New Yorks pitcher, ! believe Ira
InOmaS VIII De MACK catcnef. Mey-
ers will receive behind the plate for
McGraw.
Much depends on that first game
more than many would think.
All reports are that Bender is i'll
great shape. If he is In his old time
form and has the strength to go
through, he ought to be a mighty hard
man to beat. But if the Chief pitches
this first game and loses. I think it will
decide the series in favor of New York.
If he should win, the Athletics have a
good chance to be returned the winners
If New York should. win the opening
engagement. all Manager Macks de-
fensive plans would go up in the smoke
of the battle. In 1911. when the CHIEF
twirled the first game and lost to
Mathewson, 2-1, Mack had Plank and
Coombs In wonderful shape to back
up that loss, both of them being able
to come back the second time in the
series. In the 1913 series, Plank can
probably be relied on for only one jam
up game, as he has been complaining S
of rheumatism the latter part of this
season. Eddie, however may be USED
as finisher and do WE'LL Coombs Ill
ness prevents him from figuring in the
approaching contests.
Unless something happens before the
opening game to change my opinion or
unless the managers employ tactics
which surprise me, | will watch the
start of the 1913 world series with more
interest than I have displayed in the
last three years.

position are Cohen, a Bowen school star
Floyd from Winthrop school, this city;

1t is probable that Peck Turner will be

Not in many seasons has there been such
wealth of raw football material at Van

velop the latent ability of the many prom
Using asprants for the positions left va
cant by the departure of seven regular
men of last year. Sixty or more men are
out daily and among them are some of
the lilxeliest looking players that have en-
tered the university in several falls. By
the time the Commodores' big games are
reached, McGugin should have another
powerful machine developed which is sure
to make strong bid for the champion
ship.
The heaviest and most powerful line in
years is what football wise ones are pre-
dieting and it is the backfield that will
require the most work on the part of
the coaching staff. OF the 1912 baclxfield
stars, Hardage, Collins and Robins have
not returned and each of these was star
of the purest ray. However, there are a
number of prep school players entered
in college this year who will make a
strong fight for these vacancies.

was a pretty race, Lake finally over

The Marquette-Buick car FROM Up

while trying out the track at the park

After Hess had finished the Tooth lap
it was decided that Dorsey, driving the
Dawson car, should not be required to
complete the full course. He was ac-
cordingly told to drive around and get
the End position flag. On the way
around, the connecting rod on the car
broke and it was an impossibiity to
drive the remaining distance. Ac-
cording to the strict letter of the law
the Dawson machine would be de-
clared out because of the accident.
However, the judges, appreciating the
game fight the car had put up, decid-
ed that second money really belonged
TO Dawson, and, accordingly, made the
award.

But One Competing Machine
Remaining In The Race
so Mile Distance Made In
| Hour And ~ Minutes
Before $500 People

With no competition whatsoever az
ter the race was only one quarter of
the way through, A. Hess of Newark,
. driving Ford automobile, captured
first money at the Labor Day 50-mile
automobile race at Hiawatha park
Monday afternoon, before crowd OF
$500 people Time hour and 27
minutes.
Walter Lake, Mt Vernon's favorite
entry, was picked to win the race, as
he had defeated Hess at Newark on
the Fourth of July, with lead of two
laps or one mile on the field suf-
fered series of breakdowns, caused
by bent valve and finally, after the
29rd lap, gave up. This was sin
cere disappointment to the devotees
of the racing game in Mt. Vernon, as
it was apparent that Lake had things
pretty much his own way and was In
fair position to win when he sus-
tanned his troubles.
The race was thoroughly enjoyed
by everyone, despite its lopsidedness,
the crowd remaining at the track un-
til the Tooth lap had been attained by
Hess and he was awarded first prize.
In the drawing for positions, Daw-
son of Delaware (Ford) got the pole,
Walter Lake of Mt. Vernon (Ford)
second, Earl (''Kid") Dorsey of Mt.
Vernon (Stoddard-Dayton) third and
Hess of Newark (Ford) fourth. The
pistol was shot and Lake immediate
ly spurted to the lead, jumping to
lead of nearly lap after five laps
had been run Early in the race, Dor
sey's Standardization steamed and
he was forced to quit the race, the car
being rendered practically useless.
On the 7th lap, Dawson experienced
much difficulty with his Ford and quit
for several laps, later yielding the
wheel to Dorsey and Chester Upham
of this city who finished the race for
him. This left but two cars in and
these stayed to the finish, Hess hav-
ing tire blown out on the 95th lap,
