Giants and Athletics EUeny Matched For the Cbanponsh
Spend Your Money For Coal
Is Best Bet on Big Series
Vicious Attack of the Athletics Will Be Even Greater
t. than That Which Won From the Giants in 1911.
Best Pitching in Big League Ball Affords
the Giants Strong Defence.

~ ANSAS CITY. No. Oct S.-Judg-
ing from all the expert dope be-
II ing handed out by close students
of attack and defence of the competi-
tors in the worlds series, the best bet
to make on the big noise next week is
to spend your money for winter coal.
Vicious attack against wonderful de-
fence Is the combination to be figured
out and the man who can pick winner
from this sort of a combination has the
baseball expert tied TO post and crop
ing blindly for a chance to escape
In many cases of this kind the strong
attack has been better than the impene-
trable defence, although We are not
going to venture an opinion that this
will occur in the Giant-Athletic series
However. a team with a stronger at
tack than defence is better than one
with stronger defence than attack, as
a usual thing
Kings of Swat.
Following a slight letup in the bing-
bang stuff during which they cllnched
the American league gonfaion, the Ath-
leticS showed signs of reSumlnS the
terrific cannOnadinS which sent them TO
the front of the American league pro-
cession in July with leaps and bounds
and made worlds series kale a certain
revenue This club has the greatest ar
ray of swat talent in either league and
the attack will be the stiffeSt the Giant
hurlers have faced during the 1913 cam
paign. Even greater, in fact, than that
which beat the same Giants in the 1911
worlds series
Along with this vicious attack, the
Athletics have a 100000 infield. good

NJ EW YORK, Oct. 3-The catch
ers of the New York Giants and
Philadelphia Athletics will play
an important part in the coming battle
for the worlds championship in base
ball, and the managers of the rival
clubs are fortunate in having depend
able players for the position behind
the plate. Connie Mack has Schang

Mclean and Wilson, has an opposing
squad of catchers who viewed in a
broad manner suffer little, if any,
when compared with the Philadelphia

Meyers and Schang appear to have

Lean and Lapp second choice and Will

ers. Meyers and Schang will be called
upon to do the brunt of the working
barring Illness or accident, and there

comparison of the catching strength
of the two clubs. From an offensive
standpoint, Meyers is the better player
of the two, due to his ability as a bat

record of $40 for lis games this sea

backStop is a faster man. but this

fact that Meyers gets to the initial

all angles the Giants and Ath-

for the worlds championship series
It is with no little difficulty that
we restrain ourselves from Immediately
picking the New York Giants to de-
feat the Philadelphia Athletics, hav-
ing become so accustomed to picking
the Giants to defeat somebody in these
worlds series that il is really a habit,
and hard to leave off on short notice.
We have decided not TO publicly pick
them this season so as not to embar-
rass them. Neither do we pick the Ath-
letics, which should De very encour-

neutral territory and let nature take
its course
There is really only one good way
Of determining the winner of the com

preferably such coin, If one be a
New Yorker, as is used by the national
commission in deciding that the first
game Of the series shall be played IN
New York, and which always comes

Tesreau will be depended upon to win

used only in emergencies. The great
fielding of the club is also a point in
its favor.

cides it best to stick to his big three.
Figures may not lie, Eut is that is
the case, truth has mighty little
standing on the island of Manhattan
in connection with the series, because
the New York fans have made the
Giants even money in all betting, and
faVorite in some, when there is scarce
ly an angle of the dope that gives
the big town boys shade on the
Mackmenu save in the pitching de-
partment. In other words, the New
Workers are favoring the Giants not
because of the figures, but in spite
OF them
Perhaps that is the best way 1t
has been demonstrated time and again
that past performances mean little or
1 nothing when IL comes 10 world

They will encounter team that has

posed to them at least five men who
have all been 800 hitters, while they
have but one individual in that class.
They will meet a club that has been
fielding five points above them on the
run of the season
Whether the Athletics will approach
their seasons showing in the brief
championship is another question.
They may show one of those startling
reversals of form that sometimes
overtakes the best teams, and be out
played in every department from
start TO finish Then again they may
win so easily as to make joke of
the series
That's what makes baseball-the
possibilities of the game
The Giants are admittedly much
faster in team base running than the
Athletics, but here again the figures
would be deceptive as applied to
short series, because the base running
availed the big town boys little In
1911 They did not get on the bases
often enough to display their speed
and therefore it was a useless asset
For many weeks it was the same
old story with the Giants-no hitting.
The inexplicable slump lasted longer
than any similar slump in the history
of this particular club batting
slump is curious thing, however
It passes away as suddenly as 1t
strikes. and by the time the worlds
series opens the Giants may have re-
turned to their batting stride.
