No other club in this league seems ever
to have attempted the double squeeze,
and no doubt the Athletics Will employ
it IN the worlds series, for when prop
erly worked it is no help 10 the OPP

IS never any telling on what pitched

which did not class with any of his
recent aSgregations Since then he has
defeated the Giants and Cubs for the big
title. and he is TO have his fourth chance
for the honor this fall.
The most remarkable feature OF Machs
success has been that with VERY few eN-
ceptions he has developed ever member

nous price lie paid for Lefty Russell.
who never was q success, Mack has
never given an enormous amount Tor any
Of his players. Most OF his stars have
cost him little or nothing. and Yet he
is given credit for having one OF the
greatest ball teams in the history of
either league.
Notwithstanding the fact that Joe Bir-
mingham still has a chance to finish
second in the race and has a team which
has been contender for the flag all
season. 1t is reported from the Maps
camp that he IS far from satisfied with
the showing of some Of his players, and
that he proposes to make several deals
this winter which will rid the Maps of
some Of their old standbys.
What pears to be most discouragfng
To BIRMINGHAM is the fact that some OF
at the very time that he needed them
most He blames the defeat of his team
In five straight games here on the fact
that his pitchers weakened against the
Nationals and the fact is pointed out
that these same pitchers came back into
form just as soon as they were through
playing the Nationals and Athletics.
Falkenberg is the only member of the
staff who has done CONSTANT work
and yet 1t is only q few weeks ago that
Birmingham tried TO secure waivers on
the elongated twirler because he figured
that he had outived his usefulness. Since
then Falkenberg has pitched seven
straight victories.
At the time that waivers We're asked
on him Griffith refused to waive, hoping
to get Falkenberg for his staff, where he
would undoubtedly have proved a valua-
BILE acquisition. But conditions forced |
to retain Falkenberg and 1t
is lucky thing for him that he did. OF
his team would now be far below second
place.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

While the Giants virtually have the
National League pennant won, they won't
be able TO rest on their oars for some
days yet. Afathematic;ily there is still
a chance for the Phillies, remote though
il Is. II the Phillies should win every
one of their remaining seventeen games
and the Giants win but six of the thir-
teen they still have 10 play the t1o
teams would be tied. There is hardly
chance for this to happen, but, Tor
all that, the Giants will not be able TO
take things easy for quite q while yet.
unless the Phillies should have severe
slump and the Giants win a cluster OF
games.
That there is an advantage in having
pennant cinched two weeks before the
worlds series opens stands to reason.
Mack will be able to primo his team for
the series because he has the flag won.
The Giants haven't, and NcGraw will
not be able to give any OF his regulars
a rest or manipulate his pitchers SO as
to get them on edge. He cannot take
any chances just yet and must work
his best pitchers in regular turn in an
effort TO win the games necessary TO land
him the flag as soon as possible.
Whether this will prove handicap or
not is questionable Some teams are at
their best when kept in constant action.
Last year the Giants had the flag won so
long before the worlds series was played
that the team did not show to its best
form against the Red Sox. Tho players
took matters too easy during the closing
weeks OF the regular campaign, and then
could not get on edge when they wanted
to. Perhaps the present prolonged strug
gle for first honors will be blessing in
disguise. though Mack is not apr to be
handicapped by the two weeks his team
will have TO get itself in its best possible
shape.
On no less than eight or ten occasions
OF late the Athletics have pulled dou-
ble-sdueeze play which has been most
successful One of the first times this
play was worked was against the Ma
tionals early il September. Twice did

lower grandstand seats at 81 each and an
equal number of bleachcr seats at 81 each
Under no circumstances will unrcSerScd
seats be sold before the day OF each
game.
In 1911 the Athletics were compelled
by lot to begin the worlds series with
the Giants al the Polo Grounds. Connie
Mack, therefore, hopes that the flip Of
coin this time Will turn the opening COM
bat over to Shbe Park, where Il greater
seating capacity than in former years
can accommodate as many as 5000 per-
sons But, as usual. the selection of
grounds depends entirely on luck. The
Athletics will be asked by the commits
sion to sell their tickets the plan that
will prevail here. and that worked SO
we'll for the Red Sox series last fall In
1911 the spectators both here and in
Quakerville got hold of SO many tickets
that scandalous stories involving base
ball officials were circulated. Last fall,
however the rout of the spectators was
effected with splendid rcsults-for the
fans.
Present indications point TO plenty of
rest for the Giants and Athletics before
the worlds series, which begins two
weeks from today. Both Mack and Nc
Graw admit that their pitchers need a
respite before the big grapple 1t is a
foregone conclusion that McCraw will
depend entirely on Mattg. Demaree. Mar
guard and Tesreau. In the series with
the Red SoX the Giants didn't have
Demaree. Hence the prevalent opinion
that Aic6iraW will enter the worlds series
