GIANTS PREPARE
FOR WORLDS SERIES
League Leaders Start Final Home
Series With Robins

New York, Sept. 10.-After a
strenuous week in which the Giants
practically eliminated the Phillies as
pennant factors John McGraw's
worlds series entrants started their
final series on the Polo Grounds to-
day prior to the one which will de-
eide the worlds baseball champion
ship next October. The Giants op-
ponents in the last home drive will
be the Dodgers. National league
champions. who will make a three
day stand at the Harlem grounds, into
which time six games will be crowd
ed. Although 1t Is unlikely, judging
by the work of the Dodgers last week,
that Uncle Robbie's boys will come
anywhere near making a clean sweep
over the coming champions, local fans
are assured of six games that will be
replete with sensational playing, as
the rivalry between the Giants and
Dodgers Is just as keen now as it ever
was. u
Today will be Army Athletic Day
at the Polo Grounds. Clark Griffith
manager of the Baseball and Bat
fund. Will present full equipment to
the Twelfth, Seventy-first and Twen-
ty-third regiments. The regiments
will attend the double-header in a
body The Fourteenth was invited.
but was unable to accept.
Now for the Worlds Series.
Interest in the major league races
has subsidized somewhat because both
the Giants and the White Sox have
practically clinched the pennant in
their respective leagues, even though
the mathematical clinching of the
flags still is few laps ahead. Base
ball interest now deals largely with
the question of how the Giants will
fare against the Chicago White Sox
in the worlds series, but this topic
will be held up for later discussion.
The only chance the Phillies had to
win the flag was to clean up the
Giants six straight games last week,
but that was a mans size job and
the Phillies were unequal to the task.
1t was really amusing, however, how
nervous the Giants appeared in that
| first game with Philadelphia, before
Kauff ended Bender with an eighth
inning home run. Despite the fact
that the Giants started the series
eight games ahead they appeared as
fdgety as though they were playing
the first game of worlds series.
HeIzog in IImelight.
Taking all in all the Giants did not
better their pace Of the past few
weeks In their last week. New York
played nine games, Of which Giants
won four. That is about the same
pace maintained since returning from
| their last Western trip. During their
| last home stretch, including few
games In Brooklyn. the Giants have
won seventeen and lost fourteen

: AFTER. FULTON
Minnesota P,lgilist is Accused OF NOT
Being Game When Under Fire.
Paddy Ryan Was Another. ,a;n,t

From the days Of Tom Hyer, the
first American heavyweight Champion,
down to Jess Willard, the present
wearer Of the crown, only one holder
OF title in that class has been accused
of lack Of courage in the ring: PADDY
RYAN. who won the title from Joe
Goss in 1880, and lost it to John &.
Sullivan In 1882, was charged with
showing the white feather in several
contests. The other bare knuckle
fighters, like Yankee Sullivan, John
Morrissey John c. Heenan, Joe Co
burn Jimmy Dunn, Mike McCool.
Tom Allen and Joe Goss. never
finched, no matter if the battle went
against them.
Sullivan, the first Queensberry
champion, received terrific beating
from Corbett before he was knocked
out Corbett received one knockout
from Fitzsimmons and two from JEFF
fries without whimper.
Fitz was twice knocked out by
Jeffries and his only complaint was
that his own knuckles were brittle.
Jeffries took a knockout from
Johnson and so did Tommy Burns.
johnson was stopped by Willard.
The latter has not up to date been
under fire. 4-....
The leading challenger for Willard 81
crown Is Fred Fulton, unquestionably
the most skilful boxer in the heavy
weight class and also a forceful hit
ter.
But Fulton's actions in his battles
with Carl Morris furnish ground for
the belief that the Minnesota giant
suffers from the same failing that
married the record of Paddy Ryan.
Fulton has three times been an
opponent of Morris, a strong, skilled
fighter, who lacks regard for the
rules of the ring, and each time the
former has conducted himself in a
manner to create the belief that he
would retr under fire. o..

games. which is not particularly
dashing showing.
There were, however, some pleasing
features in the work of the team
during the past week which loom up
strong with the worlds series only a.
few weeks ahead. Herzog came back
in great style after his recent rest
of a few days. He played through
out the three double-headers with the
Phillies with all of his former fire
and snap. Perritt, who pitched two
Il to shutouts during the week, ap-
pears to be in better form Just now
than at any time this season. And
1t will be absolutely necessary for
the Giants to have one steady right
handler to jam against Chicago.
The Philadelphia club really de-
serves great credit for its effort to
make the National league appear to
have the semblance of race. 1t was
rather feeble effort, it is true, but
1t caused a little ripple of excitement
and drew about $4,000 persons to
the Polo Grounds for the three-day
double header carnival
Brooklyn kicked away. it's chance
for a first division berth last week

only victory the Dodgers obtained
was at the expense of old Ed Walsh.
who tried to prove to Stallings that
he still is a big league pitcher. The
Dodgers will play three straight
headers on the Polo Grounds begin
ming with today.
White Sox's Great Showing.
While the Giants are just doing
little better than 500 in the Nation
al league the White Sox have been
bowling everything in front of them
in the American. Including last Sat
urday's game, they tore off sixteen
out of seventeen games. Such a pace
made the Red Sox dizzy and was =
porters.
This is the time of the year the
White Sox were expected to skid, but
the skidding has been on the other
Sox. The Red Sox met their body
blow during the Labor Day series in
Boston, when the feeble Yankees
stopped long enough in their flight to
the south pole to trim the Bostons
three games out Of four.
On the whole the Yankees must be
congratulated on their showing last
week, as it was the best they have
made in a couple of months. They
made the same showing as the Giants,
winning five out Of nine games. At
ter watching his team win three out
of twenty one, five victories and four
defeats must have sounded like
heaven to Bill Donovan.
