why should a woman he a miss

Why Not Be Like the Boy?
The boy changes his title from

Why should we be Obliged to print

MACK SAYS SERIES !
WILL Be EVEN BET
Realizes That Giants Are
Stronger Than in 1911, and
Expects Fight.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3o-"This will be
country has ever seen," observed Man
ager Mack, of the Athletics, here today.
Mack IS as about as talkative as an
owl, but he finally responded to a re-
mark to the effect that the Giants will
win the 1913 worlds series through. su-
perior pitching.
i have some youngsters who will give
the Giants tussle," he remarked. land
they are Brown, Shawkey. Houck, and
Bush. Now. mind you, / am going to
have in this worlds series two old
timers in Plank and Bender. These
veterans took part in the first battle that
l had with McGraw, also the second,
and they are going to be featured In
this series, providing McGraw and /
win out.
Il realize that McGraw's club is
stronger than IT was in 1911" said the
fhiiadelphia strateglst, and / can see
that my men have battle ahead Of
them. No, i won't say that the Ath-
letics will outhit New York suppose a
good deal will depend upon the break
OF luck.
Neither Danny Murphy nor Harry
Davis will get into the coming series,
but they will be on hand with timely
advice. Ny club fought the Giants in
a disabled condition in the first battle.
They were right In 1911, and, although
it is doubtful whether Coombs can
come back. l will have a well-condi-
toned team in the field this year Nc
Graws club looks SO much better than
Il did in 1911 that If / were a betting
man / should say il was an even wager
between these two clubs, always sup
posing that each wins the pennant"

YOUNGSTERS MAY Be
OPPOSED IN SERIES
Al Demaree and Bob shawkey
Would Probably Put Up
Great Battle.

Kid pitchers may Play important roles
In the worlds series-providing. of
course. the Giants and Athletics meet
to settle the question of supremacy.
For the Giants, Al Demaree, whose
pitching has been one OF the sensations
of the National League race, may face
the hard-hitting Mackmen. although
McGraw Is known not to favor the use
of frst-year players In so important a
series.
However. the Giants leader broke this
rule last year when he used Tesreau
against the Red Sox. So IL is probable
nc viii follow precedent this fall.
For the Mackmen, Bob Shawkey win
undoubtedly be one OF the men to help
Bender and Plank. unless the powerful
Coombs rounds into the shape which
made him unbeatable in the past It
would be interesting to see the kids op-
posed to each other In one OF the games
with so much depending upon their ef-
forts, Just to see them pass through the
fire test

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. Sa-Though
earnestly denied by all parties concern
ed. again the rumors are flying about
Boston that George Mcbride. the cap
tain Of the Griffmen, will be the next
r-snager Of the Red Sox.
However, there Is this difference In
the story, which is to +he effect that
Csrrigan will be given further oppor-
tunity of showing his managerial ahil-
fly Sfore giving way to successor
Those claiming TO know all about the
matter say that Mcbride may not be
obtained by the Boston club until after
the 1914 campaign gets under way.
The great friendship existing between
Mcbride and McAleer is largely re-
EponsibIe for these rumors. Mcbride
has been motoring with the President
of the Red SoxN ever since his arrival
here, and they are inseparable. How
ever, both men deny any truth in the
story. 344

Nevertheless, the wiseacres here af-
firm soleninly that If Carrigan fails TO
make good next spring with the Red
Sox, McAleer will make a handsome
offer to Clark Griffith for George Nc
Bride They say that the offer would
have been made at this time but for
the leaking of the information month
or so ago.

at the very end of the season. The

Owing to Walter Johnson's popular
ity here, Zeb Milan is being criticised
bitterly here by the newspapers for his
wretched error Thursday, which cost
the Big Scythe the victory and the
hopes of making new record for the
big leagues. Furthermore, Milan him
self is taking the whole thing to heart
himself as he knows that johnson is
greatly disappointed. having pitched
one of the greatest games ever seen
mates error. Yesterdays papers
bawled out Milan in strong terms and
he was busy denying the truth Uf
many of the statements.
Yes. II was tough" mildly remarks
johnson, but then. someone had to
win and Collins pitched pretty good ball.
Then, too, Zeb doesn't often do thing
like that in a pinch
Z Further than this the great pitcher
win not go. He refuses absolutely to
discuss the defeat
One result of the error by Milan Is
an order by Clark Griffith to cut out
sending up high flies to the gardeners
in the fielding practice today and lay
ali their stress on ground balls. Milan
and Moelier lave been weak on ground
balls all season. In Washington il has
been claimed that the roughness of the
otufield is responsible for the many er-
