Docker hospital, where the patient
was removed. 1t is said that she

when the windshield OF the auto
mobile broke. She is suffering
from shock and attendants say
that she hardly knows what hap

Ihat the girl was in an antO-

part OF the story that she told the

Then there's the ''if" of the
first battle, they would have all
the best of the pitching, with more
veterans to choose from - and
would be twice as hard to beat.
Then, again, there's the Matty
"if'-although this isn't much of
an "if." If he pitches that first
game will he win it? He won it
in 1905 and in 1911. In 1912
McGraw sent Jeff Tesreau in and
Jeff lost the opener.
/ believe it's a cinch that Nc
Graw will take this as hunch
and send big Six" in to open up
the show. eff" Matty loses this
starter for the Giants, for the first
time, you can see what it would
mean.
There's another big eff" about
McGraw's pitching selections. He
will undoubtedly use Mathewson
and Marquard at every chance.
But, with three men needed, will
he use Demaree, Tesreau or
Fromme for the third man? VIII
he depend on Demaree for stead
mess or Tesreau for a chance at
brilliant game?
Both teams have been in a
slump for some time. Now "if"
the Giants get back into their
game and the Athletics don't -
there's an important "if.'
IL Mack has third pitcher to
pick will 1t be Shawkey, Brown
or Houck? / believe 1t will be
Shawkey, but I understand Con-
ME is very sweet on young Brown.
Back in 1911 Jack Murray
didn't get a hit. In 1912 he hit
like wild man. breaking up two
games. IF" Murray hits as he
did in 1911-"if" Murray hits like
he did in 1912--well, there's quite
a gap between these two 'ifs,"
and it may mean couple of bali
games.
There are a million 'sifs" in this
business, but l believe the Giants
cirry q few more than the Ath-
letics. You might say 'sif'' the
Athletics don't bat up to form
but it.takes . broad ssif'' to cover
nine men who can lather the tar
out Of the ball.
But the best ssif" of all is about
this: ssIf'' the Athletics don't win
the Giants will, .if'' 1t isn't . tie.

I've picked the Athletics to
beat the Giants, and by this same
system have picked the Giants to
lose to the Athletics-but every
fan knows baseball.
Being a fan myself, I've seen
too much of it to take anything
for granted. There are as many
'ifs" in this next series. as there
are sands on the Atlantic coast
from Florida to Maine, which is
more than six.
The first "if' is the Giants bat
ting power. Doyle, Meyers and
Merkle have done poorly this sea-
son, but there's gSbd chance that
just for this series they will swing
back in and tear the peeling off

before. If they do
The next "if' is Baker. This
terror poled two home runs in
1911 and broke up the show. But
hitting home runs, however hard
you hit the ball, isn't always down
on the cards. He may not get one
this year. No telling where that

Baker hadn't cracked out either
one of those four base blows. The
Giants would have won three
games, with chance at the
fourth, and an even chance at
that.

more to do than both the others.
