The NEXT WORLDS SER1EsThe practical certainty that
Philadelphia and Boston will be the the 1915 pennant
in their respective leagues has the discussion which
team will be triumphant in the coming worlds SERIES In New
York and Boston the printed wcrd the strong
est team and should handy but there unanmty
of opinion there last before the upset the
Athletics willing concede the other fellows
chance 1t true that Boston has quite shade the best of it
its percentage for the lowering the $50 mark
which trfe better than games every three Phil
adepha will probably finish with standing of 585, indicating
three wins out of every five Since August 13h how
they have really set just fast the Red Sox for
in that period down Saturday last they had 80 and lost
10 giving mark OF about 67O The principal for the
disparity percentage of the clubs will be apparent
comparison of the American leagues The Amer-
league composed of three very strong and
four of which notably The difference between
and last place nearly 400 points, Boston, it's schedule
154 will have played ITO of them with the weaker clubs
and therefore, should have correspondngy high percentage
In the National league find the clubs evenly balanced
strength just about 25 points separating first from place.
Last the Athletics had nearly large margin percent
on the Braves but counted for naught This
esants quite evenly matched and the club winning the first
should land the final Knockout though this will
doubleday 60 to at least six games.
The park of the Philadelphia club at Broad and Hunting
Streets very large the right and field being
and it pointed that the Red Sox uggers have
little trouble in hitting the walls for home
Maybe Maybe cannot be said that past worlds
have abounded with hits of the home variety although
have been made In 1918 Baker Shang
Polo Grounds Last home not exactly plentiful
Seven clubs the National league have been regularly visiting
the Phs park this and they didn't the impress
that it knock the ball the fence
And then half of the worlds games will be played the
Braves Field in Boston, where spy glass needed to To-
the walls Also Cavah of the Pills. is something of
home specialist having manufactured less than % this
goody portion of these happening the Phe park
Other hard hrs the Phs have been known do
thing considerably smaller So it quite possible
after all that the Red Sox will not have all the advantage this
est of the two in Speaker Hooper and Lewis but is likely
that they will outht Cravath Whitfield Paskert Becker It
looks if pitching will be the deciding factor and this
prent Boston looks strong they have half dozen
brilliant slab artists. Philadelphia is lacking in numbers
but looks somewhat shy quality always excepting of the
hurting staff Wood Leonard Foster Ruth Shore and Gregg
Collins loom strong against Alexander Mayer Rxey
Demaree Chalmers and McQuan But perhaps Manager Pat
Moran will send in Alexander in three games which will
things up somewhat.
