Wednesday in preparation for the
worlds series games which begin here
on Friday They wound up the regu-

lyn twice while a small but critical
crowd looked on The playing field,
however. was very heavy from a morn

tend themselves.

M son Of the smuggling powers Of
i the Phillies and Red Sox shows
that the Quackertown outfit has
bully advantage over its Bean Town
rivals
Smuggling usually decides the world
series dueIs. It was Hank" Gowoy's
extra base clouting last year that Won
the worlds championship for boston
il was Frank Bakers home run uriVes
that gave the Athletics the 1911 cham
piOnship.
The records show that the Phiuies
rank as one Of the greatest slugglng
outfits of this or any other age and
IL they bat up 10 regular season form
during the world series the Red SoX
seem certain Of a beating
These are some Of the facts revealed
by a study Of the last available slug
ging records
CFavath, the demon cIouter Of Pat
MOrans tribe, has pOled out % circuit
swats, which is nearly double the
number made by the whole Red SoX
team Of p men
Speaker HASN'T Made Home Run.
Iris Speaker, the heavy hitter OF the
Red Sox, hasn't made a home run all
season, although he has played in 100
games and been at bat about 900
times.
Bancroft and Luderus, shortstop and
first baseman Of the Phillies, together
have made as many home runs this
year as the whole Red SON team
The Phillies have made 55 homers
so far this year: the Red Sox only Il.
Hooper Leads Both Clubs.
Harry Hooper, with Il triples, leads
both clubs in that department. his
nearest rivals are HOblitZel and
Speaker, tied at y each.
Luderus leads both clubs in two
baggers with a total OF 50. Cravath is
second with 80, Lewis third with %,
Niehoff fourth with p and Speaker
fifth with u.
Another strange fact brought out
by the records is that Cravath has
smashed out almost four times as
many homers as triples-prObably the
most peculiar and remarkable feat IN
the smuggling line.
Figures Show Hitting Powers.
Here are two tables Tat may fur

El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-10-07

OSTON'S Red Sox make the better
baseball team. The dope proves
IL it. The figures show them su-
perior to the PhiIIies in every depart
meur Of the game as teaIn-that
they have much greater attacking
power. greater defensive power. more
pitching strength. that man for man
they outclass the National league
The truth is that Carrigan has
enough strength in his team to select
a club that should win the American
league pennant and then take second
team that would come near Wlhhlhs
the National league pennant
The figures show that In only one
respect the Phillies are better That Is
for purposes Of a short series, ana
the only element that makes them
figure that way is Grover Alexander.
The Final Comparison
We have studied every point OF
strength. have figured the relative
values of each position and the values
Of the men playing those posluons-
We have figured agSresslveness. MT
ting power pitching, everything, ana
then concluded with the managers
There may be a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
about this I do not figure the man
ayers by merely comparing Pat Moran
with Bill CarriEan- Their lndlNiuuai-
itv has something TO do with their
teams. Of course, but when ] uSure
what I call managers" il is the team
work the style Of play, the study OF
conditions, the adaptability TO circum-
stances. the quick use OF reserve
power. Eeneralship. knowledge of the
game You see. we have TO give some
one credit for these things. so we lump
them all under the head Of manager,
since that poor mortal must stand all
the blame and divide all the praise
Managers of Same Type.
In comparing Moran and Carrlsan-
we have fellows somewhat Of the same
type True Carrigan has changed
lately. The Red Sox have been steal
ing some of the Braves methods, es-
pecialv during the fighting finish

Of PLAYING ball and. in truth, it does
not befit them at all
