the arguments pro and con that have

OF what earthly use can the Giants

be unless the Giants can hit the ball
often enough to manufacture more
runs than can the Athletics The
Giants inability to hit with any win
ming degree OF sequentialty for the

Then, on the other hand one might
argue that the Athletics have been
most successful in their run getting

Of games, have hardly been up to the

Matty is as good now as he was

RUNYON CANNOT
DECIDE WHICH.
TEAM IS BEST
BY Damon Runyon.

n TEW YORK, Oct 8. - Having
~ clearly demonstrated by a Sc
ries of unique deductions and
comparisons that a worlds series is
impending, and that It is very Sc
rious matter, there is really not much
more that we can say on the subject
without fully exposing our hand. A
recapitulation and close analysis Of
our testimony proves conclusively the
| following facts:
(a) That we do not know who is
going to win.
Oh That we hardly even suspect
anything.
The above is confirmed, in part, by
our conscience.
We wish we knew. Of course We
wish we knew who is going to win
the worlds series, just the same as
we wish we knew why King Man
uel's bride left him so fiat, having
deep interest in all items of public
veal or woe; but We repeat we do not
know. Alasi we do not
Players Do Not Agree, Either.
As a matter of downright fact. the
only writer's who positively know
which team will win in the coming
disorder are the ball players, and
they do not agree, which makes it
all the more confusing. Messrs. ].
Tories, Meyers and Richard w. Mar
guard, ST., for instance, intimate that
the New York Giants will be the vic
tors, whereas Messrs. Edward Col
Inns and ]. Franklin Baker allege that
the Philadelphia Athletics have what
the slang whangers call a lead-pipe
skinooch.
Personally. we might be inclined
to string with Messrs. Meyers and
Vanguard, having frequently been on
the very same page with them in COL
umns of comparative equality, but
you never can tell
That's the whole trouble You
never can tell. Not for worlds would
Messrs. Meyers and Marquard or
Messrs. Baker and Collins mislead the
reading public, but there is always
that grave danger of them misleading
themselves. You never can tell.
Not Much in Figures.
We have tried to solve the problem
by means of figures. We have taken
lot of ones and twoS and threes
and showed them around this way and
that, like anybody. and mixed EN- up
with decimals and fractions and ad-
jeetives and such, but they always
came out looking just like ones and
twos and threes. There are some
people who can take the same figures
and make them lie down. roll over
and speak, which proves that it is not
the figures so much as the handling
of the figures.
AS we have glibly mentioned be-
fore, the Athletics. on paper. are
stronger in some respects than the
Giants, and the Giants are stronger.
on paper in other respects than the
Athletics-it depends entirely on the
paper and where it is published. The
Athletics will win. or Connie Mack is
mistaken: and the Giants will win, or
John ]. McGraw has not been cor
rectly informed.
There you have the situation in
nutshell, with the accent on the nut.

Fletcher Much Improved Player
Better Than Wagner, Says 'Rube'

when Arthur Devlin began to slow
up. He was put in to play third, but
McGraw quickly made up his mind
there were better third basemen in
the world than Fletcher. as he ac-
cOmplished the deal which brought
Herzog to the Giants.
AS matter of fact, it was generally
supposed that Herzog had been Sc
cured to play short, but McGraw had
evidently decided that Fletcher was a
shortfielder, If anything, and switch
ed HerZog over to third. 1t was
a change that made the Giants cham
pions of 1911. and maintained their
championship in 1912
Fletcher has long been credited
with the best pair of baseball hands
in the game, or at least he succeeded
to that distinction with the passing of
the great Arthur Devlin. His field
ing during the past season has been
OF an unusually high order, and he
seems to have overcome many little
weaknesses that handicapped him be-
fore
Fletcher is a great "kidder" on the
ball field, and an aggressive fellow in
that he is always fighting for the
game. In the worlds series he stacks
up against a formidable opponent,
Barry on the seasons figures so far
as they pertain to hitting and base
running, the Athletic shortfielder is
a marvel in these brief encounters
and one of the most dangerous men
Of the Mack clan in II pinch.
Barry Has Wicked Way.
Barry is batting about .266, but that
gives you no idea of the wicked way
he can slip over a hit when it is
worth something. There are few bet
ter fielders in the land than Jack, and
if Connie Mack had to lose one of
his infielders for the coming series, he
would probably hate to lose Barry
more than any other man, not barring
Eddie Collins. That's how valuable
BLACK jack is to the Athletics.
However. Fletcher this year should
not be the unsteady. nervous Fletcher
of the other series. He has been
twice through the fire, and his adj
mirers believe that he las now found
his footing.

do will hardly compensate for the
Giants lack Of the punch.
Luck has figured largely in all
past worlds series, as it is bound to
in such short series. Luck was
surely against the Giants last fall
although the games the Giants
lost were due to costly errors. Bakers
home runs we're lucky, too, in 1911,
for any player who gets a circuit
clout is very lucky, and we all know
how Bakers homers figured in the
1911 proceedings. This is not writ
ten to take away any of the credit
due to Baker. and he is a wonder

lucky, made by any player.

~ the respective merits of the
Giants and Athletics for the
worlds championship it will be well
to take into consideration that the
Giants are much stronger in the field
or what is called defensive tactics
than they have been In the last two
years
One reason OF this is that George
Burns is about so per cent superior
to Josh DevOre as guardian of left
field. Josh was always an uncertain
factor, so much so that Giant root
ers would shake in their boots for
fear the little fellow would pull some
muff or tumble that would result in
disaster.
On ground balls Josh was very
weak. 1t seemed as if he never could
stop a ball soooting at him over the
turf, and many a single was turned
into a triple by his inability to get
his hends in the right place at the
right time. The sun also bothered
Josh not a little, and he was not alb
solutely sure of any difficult fly that
went out into his territory.
1t was Josh, though, who sent in
the majority of runs the Giants made
against the Athletics In 1911, but
still there was always a feeling that
he was not dependable.
But still it can not be denied that
Josh almost invariably made good in
important series, especially against
the Athletics, but the form he showed
then he did not carry last year or
this.
Burns Real Star.
the best outflelders in the country
bar none. He makes easy work ont
OF fly balls that Devore would hardly
try for, on account Of his poor judg-
ment Burns starts after a fly much
quicker than Devore. md being. too,
just as fast a runner and a sure
catcher, any ball that is hit out into
Burns field can be considered as
flelded.
On ground balls Burns is nearly as
good If not quite 80, as an infielder,
and as he can throw with great speed
and deadly accuracy, he will be in
every way an improvement on De.
wore.
Burns. while he has not haTted con-
sistently this season, still the many
batting spurts he has had gives him
more hits than any other man on the
Giant team. While he was enjoying
his spurts with the bat he would
stick" with the best, but unfor-
tunately his slumps we're almost as
frequent as his rallies. and at those
times he would fall off most disas-
trously
Sure to Make Good in Series.
There is 4 good chance, though, that
he may accumulate another squirt
during the big series, and if he is
that fortunate, l look for him to be
one of the heroes of the coming con-
tests. He is sure to make good in
the field, and with Snodgrass and
Murray, both of whom have improved
in their work as outfielders. l am of
the opinion that the Giants's outfield
has a shade on the MaCkmen.
At another point, and a most i'm
portant one. have the Giants also
shown decided improvement - and
that is at shortstop. Arthur Fletcher,
from being a rather doubtful propo-
sition in 1911 and 1912. has developed
into one Of the stars in his position.
His work this season has been SEN
satiOnal, and his many startling stops
and ground covering ability have
made him famous. And it is not in
