" the respective merits OF the
Giants and Athletics for the
worlds championship it viii 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 80 that Giant root
ers would shake in their boots for
fear the little fellow would pull some
muh or tumble that would result in
disaster.
On ground balls Josh was very
weak 1t seemed as If he never could
stop a ball scooting at him over the
turf. and many a single was turned
into a triple by his inability to get
his hands in the right place at the
right time The sun also bothered
Josh not 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.
Put 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

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 &C
complshed 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 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.
and while Fletcher seems to overtop
Barry on the seasons figures so far
is they pertain to hitting and base
running. the Athletic shorttielder IS
a marvel in these brief encounters
and one of the most dangerous men
