the series this year, they will have
about an even break with regard to

Marquard the Philadelphia team will
have Plank and Bender. 1t is in the
reserve force that McGraw will have
big pull in the weights. as a horse

improve over the form he has shown
thus far this season to he included in
world series string, has 1t on any
thing Mack can offer, while Demaree
also outclasses those on the second
string of the Athletics, Brown and
Houck are about the most formidable
game to compete against the McGraw
offering. i
Another advantage the Giants will
have is In the catching department.
Meyers has all the better of Schang
in appearance, while his batting abil-
ity is a natural factor in any game
But against these advantages Mack
has an infield TO offer that is enough
to cause confusion in the ranks of any
well organized club.

Donlin has never been able to re-
cover his old time brilliant form since
he abandoned baseball for the stage.
Al the time he started his theatrical
tour he was one OF the greatest play
ers in the game, standing second to
none as batter and ranking rs sure
fielder. BOSTON and Pittsburg both
tried him out, but the old dash was
lacking. And now the career which
held the interest of fans the country
over Is to have its final setting In the
minors. There's not follower of the
game in this city who does not regret
10 see Donlin as a minor Lacquer.
