WORLD SERIES DOPE.
Mckinney, Mexican War Correspond
ert, Changes Tune and Writes
About Civilized Warfare


As no one has asked for my opin-
Ion as To how the coming worlds
series Is coming out, will write and
tel you all about II anyway. am
still OF the opinion that McGraw has
under his protecting wing the larg-
est number OF A No. boneheads
which ever won n pennant Not the
biggest bunch OF boneheads in the
er won pcnnant. II Philadelphia
had not lost consistently each and
every time that the Giants slumpcd.
and had not thus thrown away all
chance OF coming up on even terms
with McGraw's men. ! believe that
the Phillies would have won out
When It comes tn deciding game.
McGraw can always depend upon
one of his pets with an ivory knob
20 kick II away OF course every
one remembers the stunt pulled off
by Merkle five years ago. In the de-
Gliding game OF the pennsnt race.
when Chicago won out. When New
York won the National League pen
nant two years ago. the race was not
quite 10 close, but WAS won by a
margin OF several games. In 1912
they won by the margin OF ten full
games. and this year they won by
nearly as many games Therefore
Mcrkle. Meyers and other star mem
bcrs did not get the chance to boot
II away In one decisive game. Last
year In the last game with Boston.
We all remember how Snodgrass
made his famous muff. and then for
fear that he would get all the cred
1t and pr~s notices. Meyers and
Merkle let Speakers foul tail be-
tween them. Am wrong when
claim that the bigEest collection Of
boneheads that ever won = pennant
are the McGra vites. Echo snswerr: :
Nay. Nay. Pauline. In the classic

One thing about Meyers, Merkie.
Marquard. Murray. ~ al. they new

III II counts for something. When
a pennant or Worlds Championship
hangs In the balance. then h the
psychological moment. and the stunt
that Is pulled off then furnishes
many colums of dope for the long
winter evenings. Therefore. ! feel
that l am safe In saying thar II the
Athletics can hold the Giants about
even, the bonehexd department OF
the New Workers viii get strictly on

merry men will cop the decision.
