brooklyn Has the Pitchers.

Taking into consideration the makeup
Of the pitching stats. II would appear
that the advantage In team batting pos
sessed by the Clevelauds is overcome by
the superiority Of the Brooklyn pitching
star and that the latter will prevail
over the Forest City hitters.
II does not appear that there is any
marked difference in the ability of the
fielders OF the opposing teams. Speaker
ia a great outheder but 80 also are
Wheat, Myers. Griffith and Lamar. The
infeld OF the Brooklyns Is now working
like we'll oiled machinery. although early
in the National League season Il played
raggodly. But Honey. Klldun. Olson
and Johnston are now performing as well
az any infield in the country and can be
depended on to do their full duty.
Viewed from all angles II seems TO the
writer that the Brooklyns should win the
series, although the Clevelands will give
them a hard fight.
The courage shown by the Brookiyns
in numerous uphill battles In the Ma
t,onal League must be taken Into con-
alteration, for they have won many a
game after the opposing team had
gained what seemed 20 be an over
whelming advantage.
The Giants at the present time arc
playing the best game they have shown
this season, and the manner IN which
the Dodgers cllnched the pennant at the
expense of the Manhattan athletes was
very Impressive.
Another thing In favor OF the Dodgers
~ the fact that they open the series on
the home grounds. playing three games
n a row at Ebbets Field. II they can
take two OF those games II will prac-
ticnlly clInch the series for them.
In the matter Of managerial direction
each team is capably handled. Speaker
Is not only a wise field general, but
esds his men 10 battle and sets a great
example to them In all departments OF
the game. Robinson's methods are very
effective. He is a skilled handler. knows
every angle of the game and has the
advantage OF possessing the hearty adj
miration and respect of all his players.

Team Batting.
BY CHARLES f. MArH1soN.

The Brooklyn baseball team. which
has captured the pennant of the Ma
tional League after hard uphill fight
lasting nearly the entire season--the
victors' title not being clear till the last
week OF the campaign--is now con-
fronted with the task OF playing the
formidable Cleveland team OF the Amer
lean League a series OF nine games to
determine the worlds championship.
The Forest City players have had quite
as hard battle in the American League
as the Brooklyns have in the National,
and there is small doubt that but for
the lamentable series OF events that put
the Chicago team out OF the running at
a time when II looked winner the
Clevelands would have landed second in
their race The intense interest that al
ways has attached to a contest for the
worlds title will centre about the APP
preaching battle. and the partisans OF
the contenders will advance plausible
reasons for the success of their favorite
team.
Arguments tending TO show that one
team is better by a hairs breadth than
the rival organization have been set
forth and will continue TO be heard till
the last game is played.
On paper the Clevelands are stronger

 Very interesting. indeed. but having pierced the Kaiser's sec ret and perceived the danger to America and the world, what did Gen. Wood do about it? Apparently he told nobody not even his friend President Roosevelt, who a few years lat CT supported Austria-Hungary in taking over Bosnia and Her zegovina, which was one of the preliminary steps to the World War.
 Without disparagement to Gen. Woods psychic qualities, we strongly suspect that his wis ion in this matter was mostly hindsight. like other peoples vision. If it was otherwise he made singularly proftless use of the secret he had pierced.- New York World.
