THINKS SOX WILL.
BEAT GIANTS
Bill Donovan, Manager Of Yanks,
Picks Chicago Team az Victor
In Coming World Series
Games,

Bill Donovan, the manager of the
Yanks, thinks the White Sox will
take the Giants overheard in the
world series, and gives some solid
reasons why he figures Chicago to
win
1.-THE Giants are a high strung
team" said Donovan. when the
Phillies were in New York for the
series that might have settled things,
am told the Giants were worried.
The McGraw team had about nine
game lead and yet the Phils had them
flustered. a world series takes steel
nerves. so much counts on every play
in 30 short series The players all
realize that a boot, poor throw, a
failure to hit when the bags are load
ed may turn the entire series.
THE White Sox will not carry the
mental burden. Eddie Collins Is an
old timer at the world series game,
and he Will bolster up the tnfield, u.s.
ually the first thing to f1ivyer in a
big series.'

McGrav of Giants Believes In Hit and
Run Play While Rowland Of
White Sox Puts Faith
In Sacrifice.
BOTH SUPREME IN FIELD
White Sox, by Using Sacrifice, Scored
Moro Runs Than Giants, But
Made Fewer
Hlts.
rBY H. G. HAMILToNl

limited Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Two vastly
different styles of play, perfected to
the top-most point, will meet in battle
when the White Sox and Giants tear
the wrapper off this years world
series.
John J. McGraw, manager of the
Giants, is a graduate Of the old Bal
timore Orioles where the only thing
they taught was hit and run. Clar-
ence Rowland Is a graduate Of no
school save that of his own obser.
walton and he pleads for the sacri-
flee, mixing it with just enough Of
the hit and run to relieve the
monotony.
Hit and run and sacrifice styles
have met before, notably in 1912,
when the Giants fell before the Red
Sox. But never before have two
teams come together who both typt.
fed highest excellence in these two
basic points of baseball strategy.
1t is, saying a lot for the sacrifice
style OF play to point to the Sox
scoring record for the year, during
which time they have accumulated
fewer hits than have the Giants, but
have scored more runs.
The sacrifice play is the one run
game. The devotes Of this strategy
believe 1d using every trick, sacri
hcing everything in order to get q
runner around, once he reaches first
base. As rule, amongst leaders In
the American league, pitching is
tight enough for a margin Of two
runs to assure victory. The squeeze
play is an amplihcation Of the sacri
fee, but, despite it's use, is sincerely
hated by most American league man.
ayers and certainly by John McGraw
McGraw is believer in the maxim
that a hits a hit. If mans going
to hit he might as we'll hit with q
runner on first, thus placing another
runner in position to score.
The hit and run style, many main.
tain, will be discussed for the Ameri
can league team that tries to stop
1t, because they will be unconsciously
looking IN vain for the sacrifice.
This seems to be ungenerous con.
sideration Of American league base.
ball It seems rather certain to be
true, that the mixed use Of the sacri.
fee and hit and run will make the
Sox more cautious, ready for any.
thing, refusing to move far out OF
position to stop a base runner and
thus miss a ball smashed through
the inf1eld.
