FEW YORK. Oct. baseball
M experts who have long been at
L y cross points regarding the
most effective method of attack viii
have a great opportunity to study
their pet hobbies in the worlds series
Many veteran writer's, managers
and players insist that the hit-and-
run method is best. They claim that
the manager who sends his players
up there to hammer at It continually
will get the best results
The other contingent OF exporting
persons tells us that the team which
uses the sacrifice bunt successfully
stands a far better chance 10 win ball
games. The bunting game, we are
told, IS by lar the most Scienti1lc
and effective in the long run and
this may be true when applied 70 the
seasons work Of a bail club. The hit
and-ruu theory may also prove true.
as IL has in the case OF the Giants
this year.
OF course there is always the
question Of good pitching TO be
considered for the effectiveness
of either style OF attack depends
on the ability OF n team as
whole TO score runs against first
class pitchinE, and that Is what
may be looked for In the coming
series between the Giants and

Weaver is a better hitter than
Fletcher fully as fast and accurate in
