Demaree. They know pretty we'll
what each pitcher has in the way of
curve and speed. They know that
they can hit those twisters and
straight ones for homers. They are
confident that the pitching OF the Gil
ant quartet cannot deceive them.
But if they had to bat against
James, Tyler and Rudolph, of the
Braves, or the first string pitchers
of the Cubs or Cards it would be a
different proposition altogether. They
don't know what those pitchers would
offer in pinch. They don't know
just what each has in his own line.
They would have to learn that during
the series. They wouldn't have pre-
series knowledge as they would have
IL the Giants were their foes.
It's the same thing with the Ath-
letic pitchers. They know from past
experience just the kind of balls the
Giants can hit-and the kind they
can't hit. But if they were pitted
against another team it would be
different proposition. They would
have to feel out" the batters and
during the feeling out" process they
might get bumped for some long hits
that would spell disaster for the
winning chances of their club.
The Athletic outfielders know pref
ty well where to play for drives from
the Giant sluggers. But they don't
know exactly where to play for the
hitters nthe other clubs.
If the Giants do battle the Ath let
les the 8 to odds seem fair. But
If the Athletics have to cross blud-
cons with some other National league
club the long-end betters, in our
opinion, are taking chances that are
a bit too long, even though the Ath-
letics outclass every one of the four
teams tnat have been fighting it out
for the National league pennant.

says Leach. "They treat you white

Commission don't like me. They

Out in the west the boys don't go
by creed or religion. All they care
about is for fellow to give them his
best If you do that they are with
you whether you are a Catholic
Protestant, or Jew. They are real
human beings in the west.
There was less buying this year
of minor league stars by the big
leagues than ever before. The reason
is that the big leagues didn't care to
separte themselves from big
part of their bankroll for player
and then risk the chance of player
jumping to the Feds without even
saying chow -de-do" to his Organized
purchaser.
Some of the big league magnates
just now favor 2 revision of the draft
rules so that they may be protected
from loss if the drafted youngsters
jump to the Feds. Under the present
system when player is drawn in
draft by a club that club immediate
ly pays the draft price to the minor
league club that owned him.
There seems to be so much danger
just now of some of the drafted play
ers jumping to the new outfit that the
big league owners feel that they will
be made to suffer financial losses if
they pay for player before he
signs contract.

MAKE INFIELDER
OF 0U7GARDENER
McGraw May Place George
Burns at Third-Leach
Cross Out of Game.
(By Frank G. Monkey


New York Sept 1l.-George Burns,
of the Giants, ranked as the greatest
outfielder in the old league, may be
converted into an infielder. McGraw
has an army of outfielders but he is
weak at third base. And that is
where Burns used to cavort part OF
the time in the minors.
When Burns first landed with the
Clans the infield was causing Nc
Graw no very. He had Merkle
Doyle, Fletcher, Shafer, and Herzog
But the trading Of Herzog and the
desertion Of Shafer this spring opened
a big hole at third. Stock has been
doing his best to fill it, but he seems
to fall bit short in hitting.
McGraw feels that with Burns at
third and Murray, Thorpe Or snod-
grass in his place in the outfield, il
would add somewhat to the batting
strength of the club, but it is ques-
ton if he would make such radical
change at this time in the pennant
fight. The new combination might
strengthen the team-and it might
not. It's too critical moment for
experiment and McGraw may not try
out Burns at third until next season

This was an old habit, born of her
half-believed, half-assumed medium

In these later days she was still wont

phrases now would have known that
she was still fighting for decision.

that however she finished and tied

Writers who wish to impart to their

and who seek to surcharge their senti-
nents with sparkle and spirit will do
well to bear In mind constantly that

burdened with an abundance of
phrases. clauses and parenthetical OBJ

character, are apt to be tiresome to
