HUGH JENNINGS
FAvORS GIANTS
Thinks McGraw's Men viii Be Able
to Capture the Flag

New York, Sept 4.-Manager Hugh
jennings OF the Detroit Tigers has
faith in the ability of McGraw to win
a fourth consecutive pennant.
Il stick 10 my old friends" said
Hughie, "and that is why | am pulling
30 hard for the Giants. l am not
overlooking the fact that Boston is
very dangerous. No one appreciates
more than | the capabilities OF George
Stallings. Those who figure that the
Braves are going to split wide open
are seriously mistaken.
But this is why ! figure New York
has a better chance than Boston. Nc
Graw's team until few days ago was
playing anywhere from twenty-five to
forty points below its normal form.
Boston for six weeks has been driving
at one OF the most sensational PAGES
ever attained by a big league club. A
great many of its victories have been
shutouts. established by three wonder
sful pitchers. . IL is~not TO be presumed
that this trio will be able to go on
indefinitely holding all opposition to
handfuls of hits daily.
Il do not believe Boston is going
to break badly, but all that is neces-
sary for ii to do is to falter. The
Braves cannot hope to better their
speed. New York cannot very well
fail to show improvement. With New
York it has been largely case of poor
pitching. The return to form OF Ma
thewson and Marduard seems to have
given renewed hope to the tagging
spirits OF the champions.
Il think the fight will be between
New York and Boston to the end of
the race. Both st. Louis and Chica-
go will have to play the majority of
their remaining games away from
home, while their eastern rivals are
ut home.
THE big fight will come no doubt
next week with the Giants in Boston.
Then a serious setback for either is
likely to prove fatal

Bowden is known all over the south
as a college athlete. At Georgia he

Bowdon's best college work was

PITCHERS REQUIRE WORK.
Greatest Hurlers in Game Go Best
When Worked Often.


When Worked Often.
The two greatest pitchers McGraw
ever had were McGinnity and Mathew
son and they did most Of his work
Matty is still his greatest pitcher. and
he rarely works under forty-five games

The greatest season Jack Chesbro
ever knew was In 1904, when he work.
ed in fifty-six games-or oftener than
once every three days all the year.
The greatest season that Ed Walsh
ever knew was in 1908, when he work
ed sixty-flve games-almost every 9TH
er day.
There's no reason why the average
able bodied pitcher shouldn't work at
least fifty games a year Two years
ago. when the Giants were slipping
and neither Matty or Marquard were
able to help lot, McGraw was forced
TO work Tesreau six times in twelve
days. He not only won all six, but his
last two starts were shutouts. Con-
slant work had brought him control
and steadied him down.

were mourning and who we thought
were all done and ready to go back to

doing.
The latest is Bob Spade, says a writ
er in the Detroit Times. Spade was
a grand good pitcher with a bum club.
He was so good that the Chicago club
offered $4,000 in real money for him,
and il was refused by Cincinnati.
Then, his arm went wrong and he
dropped out. 1t seemed he was done.
But a week or so ago Joe Tinker who
was in danger OF losing the Fed lea
que pennant because his pitching staff
was crippled. grabbed Spade. lie says
his arm is restored, and if it is he is
going to clip figures on those batting
averages like Rockefeller clips cou-
