sacrifice hitting.
AT third the fans who witness the
series will have an opportunity to COM
pare the work of Gardner and stock,
for the latter is likely to be the choice
of Manager Moran. since his record for
the season shows that he is a harder
hitter and better fielder than Byrne,
although figuring in but half the num-
Der of games credited to Byrne. Stock
has fielding average about thirty
points better than Gardner but is four
teen points shy of the Red Sox third
sacker's batting ability Gardner is
superior in base running and is cred
tied with more sacrifice hits but is ap-
parently less steady in the handling Of
difficult chances.
Comparing the records Of the rival
shortstops it is seen that Bancroft, the

New York, Oct. FIN the coming
Worlds Series between the Philadel-
phia Nationals and the Boston Ameri-
cans both teams will be well provided
with infield material. All told there
are no less than thirteen players who
may be called upon to take defensive
positions around the base paths. The
Red Sox have seven experienced in
f1elders, who by series of shifts, can
be formed into several combinations OF
unusual strength both at the bat and
on the diamond. The Phillies, while
well equipped with regulars. are not as
strong numerically or in general aver
age as their rivals when the infield
SQUADS are considered as a whole.
This apparent advantage possessed
by the American Leaguers will not
count heavily against the Phillies, pro-
vided the two teams are able to go
through the series without the neces-
sity Of changes due to accidents or
Illness. Should emergencies arise,
however, where it becomes imperative
to call upon the reserve forces of the
infields then the resources of the Bos-
ton club would be factor worthy of
much consideration in endeavoring to
forecast the outcome of the play.
During the most important portion
of the race for the American League
pennant, tho Boston infleld lineup was,
as a rule. as follows: HoblitzeL first
base; Barry. second base; Gardner.
third base: Scott, .shortstop. Gamer
was frequently used to hold down the
initial bag, however, while Wagner
filled in at second and Janvrin took
Scott's place at short. In addition
Barry is familiar with the duties Of
both short and third; Janvrin can hold
down third and Scott is not unfamiliar
with the duties at second and third.
Opposed to the versatile and inter-
changeable infield, the Phillies have

given promise Of measuring UP to the
standards set by his two superiors in the
near future.
While experience counts for much in
the work behind the plate. it is not al
ways the veterans who shine In the big
baseball series. If. this was the case the
Americans would have wide margin Of
reserve strength since Carrigan and Cady
both figured prominently in the famous
eisht-game struggle between the Giants
and the Red Sox In 1872 whereas none
OF the Philies' catchers has figured in
night for the premier pennant Of the dia-
mond game. Thus 1t can be seen that 80
far as experience is concerned the Rel
sox have carrigan and Cady to the Phil
lies. killifer. Burns and Thomas. are
about equal in this respect while Moran.s
