Peckinpaugh Says He's
Hopeful and Puts Scoop
Over on John
McGraw.
Bv J WOOD BROU\.

The city series opens at the roo
Grounds this afternoon, Mr.. Fan, and
consider how much pleaSanter it should
prove than the annual struggle with
the Athletics. In the first place, -
can't lose; in the second. you may ut
in the right field wing OF the grand
stand without being constantly har-
assed By the fear that one OF Mack
big howitzers will drop home run IN
your lap. and. lastly, there vii! be no
ticket scandal.
Then. too. the worlds series WAS
getting a bit Of bore. II was some
what overdone. now wasn't II? But We
have had no city series since i9lO, dnc
from that day TO this no ono i@S
known for a certainty which was ne
better team-the Yankees or the
Giants. $3.50,
The Yankees arrived here from Phil
adelphia last night, and Roger fecS-
inpaugh, brevet manager. Immediately
put over d scoop on John McGra";
I'VE are going to play our best, ana
we hope to win" said Pecklnpaugh.
II is rumored that the Giants hope
TO win and will play their best, out
to affirm or deny the rumor.
Peckinpaugh was not certain VINO
would pitch for his team this after.
noon. but he seemed to think we'll OF
the chances of Jack WARRIOR. Mathew
son will probably be the moundsman
| for the Giants unless the day IS
cloudy, in which case Tesreau Is more
! likely TO draw the assignment Mey-
ers's injured hand is better and he IS
| slated TO catch. The two teams VIII
/ present their usual line-ups in outfield
and infeld.
The game will be called At 2:i5
o'clock. Regular prices Of admission
will prevail.
The National Commission met at the
Offices of the New York National
League Baseball Club yesterday morn
ing, and instructed the city series UNI
pires and also the worlds series OIL
Gals. Charles Rigler and William j.
Hart will be the National League UNI
pires in the series here. and William
G.. Evans and Thomas Connolly are
the two officials picked from the john
son circuit. The Giants will be the
home club in the first game, and will
therefore have the privilege OF going
to bat last.
When il comes 70 d question OF com
pairing the two teams there is little
knowledge TO be CLEANED from review
ing the series Of 1910. which the
Giants won by score Of four games 20
two. with one tie. OF the Hilltoppers II
those DAYS only Jack WARRIOR, Ia
Sweeney, Ray Fisher and Birdie Cree
ere LEFT.
Sweeney Was hurt in the very FIRST
game of the 1910 series, but the other
men all gave d good account Of them,
selves. Jack Warhop. who is slated
10 pitch to-day. was the winning
pitcher in one of the two games capt
ured by the Yankees.
Perhaps no more interesting duel
between batter and pitcher has ever
been witnessed than that which TOOK
place between little Jack and Larry
DOYLE. Warhop's theory of pitching IS
70 keep the batter as lar away from
the plate as possible, while Doyle -
notorious crowder. From one point OF
view. Doyle was the victor in the duel
since he refused 10 give ground. yet
WARRIOR at least scored a mora! victory
BIZ hitting his opponent in the ribs.
The Giants although not so radically
changed will be without many OF the
mon Who served them in the 1910 Sc
/ RES. nose were tHt ua!o VI Dt''''',
Of ShAfer. of Devore. of Crsndall, OF
Wilson. OF Drucke ard of Becker. All
Of these men took part IN the series.
As far as figures prove anything the
Giants are much harder hitting team
than the Yankees. for their average is
261 as against go for the Yankees.
The Yankees with fielding mark OF
q66 are four points higher than their
rivals. In pitching Tesreau and Math'
ewson arc better men than anybody
/ peckinpaugh can use, but his second
string moundmen are more effective
than those of McGraw.
Movers is more useful catcher
than either Sweeney or Nunamaker
and the Giants are faster on the bases
although Maisel is by far the best
