QNBIG SERIES
BYLAVYER|FAN
Continued from page one,

Moran has not only formed a perfect
machine, but he has kept il going With
out a break throughout the year and
| brought 1t up TO the world series il
perfect condition. All that can be
said Of Cafrigah Is that he has been
harmCniziBg Influence in a club OF
stars.
AS, to catchers, whether Killifer is
Burns can catch the series and is full
ly the equal OF Cady, Carrigan or Tho
mas. 81.
The Pitchers.
The pitching staff for the Red 5ox
is far superiDfvprobably the best
staff ever collected, certainly of left
handers-but Leonard and Ruth, left
handlers, and, Foster. and Shore, right
handefs, are all, going at their best
gait.dsgB esidss these Gregg. another
letthander,!t while not available for
full game, is Az good as any Of them
forl an inning or two The phenome-
nal partsis that dropping Shore out,
these pitchers are thitIing at clip OF
nearly ,.200t,s and Ruth. is considered
one, OF thu best eleanuD hittefss in the
county On the other, llald,r AtexaIi,
der lis today the best pitcher Inc the
eountFys MAyeHie DemareA and TChal-
merst are going welt.gu Mayer has not
heens llekyi Chalmers HI not a great
pitcher. and DeIRafee only success
full with certain elubs;s for instance,
Cincinnati has not WOO a. game from
him this year, excepting one lost by
an error OF .GfaYaths wonderful to re-
lates letting In, the, oRlyl run In the
game. III pemaree finds the Red Sox
to his liking il will be the end of two

The infields.
Hohiitxel and Gainer are fair first
.basemeR and good hilters, while Luz
.ders isea great hitter and better field
.er, Gamer viii be- pHt in should Phil
adelph Tia use Hi left,hander, which Is
unlikely as5 ALI their best pitchers are
right handers d Harry at second and
Scott at short are ii GOOD combination.
Barry has been hitting better this
year, but onlthe whole the pair are
inferior ito Bancroft and Niehoff, both
in hitting and as q combination. Phil,
adelphia Ehas in Stock, who will un.
doubtedly playlathe equal of Gardner
at third base 10 hitting and fielding.
AS a matter Of fact Gardner is slipping
this year and, Stock Is coming.

he covers his Held Ne does not get
his three base hits IN at the opportune
time as of old and for that matter
Speakers hits are not 50 opportune.
Duffy Lewis alone this year has been
reliable as q cleanup hitter, and he
has not been doing $50 we'll the last
part Of the season Again, he viii not

an putfield such as warns every pits
cherfs heart Paskert Is covering his |
entire field as Of old and hitting on
the whole BETTER. Enough has been
said about Whitted, anda the thine
which has not been said here ABOUT |
Grayath is that this year he has got
the threw to the plate gown pat; he
covers the ground and has cut off |
Ranya run. On paper theAhitting OF
the Boston trioewonld appear muehesus |
perior. As a matter Of fact. no man
in any team in the country has done
so much to win games &C the bat, as |
Grayath. Hesis at the teD of the Ma

and lead I'M home runs; i but: il is. his |

Henriksen has not materialized this |
J ear and, when played regularly, has
not been strong, while Janyrin is q |
mediocre PLAYER. only valuable be
cause he can play any position In the
infield. /
The advantages which the Red Sox
nave are really in their pitchers, who
can win their own games, at the bat,
while none Of the Philadelphia pitch
ers do hit, and only one of them, Alex
ander, can hit if he wants to. have
seen him in the ninth inning win
game by letting himself out, but at
all other times he makes no attempt
10 risk the chance of injury to his
pitching by exerting himself.
On the Defense.
When 1t comes to the defensive side,
what. q pitcher must rely on is the
at second and short, AMI
IN outfielder which covers the ground
and gets the ball back, and in these
respects the mines are about even, |,
slightly the better. Of
if it means getting over two

he ball, and Philadelphia has two
great cleanup hitters in Cravath and
