New-York tribune., 1921-10-11

Il tAea can - rSA0lly appreciated
hist the classic argument has reached
is most acute stage. For the National
Ieagus represen tatives It Is case Of
do or die Immediately. Yet n TIE opin-
;on of many experts McGraw has not
been placed at so serious q disadvantage
IS TIE count Of three and two might
ordinarily indicate. The teams through
the d1ift Of the five games seem as even
II matched IS any two that have ever
contested for the highest honors Of
baseball And in the matter Of pitching
!. Is very probablo that McGraw's team
holds the stronger hand.
Neither side can now afford to make
the shehteet mistake. For which rea-
son to-days pitching selections Will be
awaited with keen interest. Roth Hug
gins snd McGraw are confronted with
serious problems. 1t seems almost "a
certainty that the Yankee manager Will
now call upon Harry Har0er, his only
southpaw Harper must be utilized in
one game 81 least, and the mite man
ager, holding the advantage, IS in
position to do some gambling.
Giants Have Two Ready
McGraw has both big Fred Toney and
Jess Barnes available Tor service this
afternoon Barnes showed a lot Of class
after he had gons to the rescue Of Toney.
who was knocked ont OF the box in the
third inning 81 the third game In
saving this one Jess qualified strongly
for one Of the remaining games. But he
has not the physique of Toney, and for
this reason may be saved until later.
Some of McGraw's friends were Of
the opinion last night that Mac might
haul out the veteran left-hander,
"Sim" ssllee, as the good port-sided
ainging Of Artie Nehf in both games
had Huggins's big uns fairly we'll
spiked.
The temperamental Harry Harper
may prove real anchor to windward
for Yankee hopes. Provided he has
such control as he flashed on several
occasions lateiy he is likely to be very
hard to beat The young gentleman
does nothing by halves. He Will be
either very good or very bad. Bob
Shawkey and Jack Quinn will be held
in reserve if Harper is nominated. The
Yankees Will be the home" team this
afternoon and in position to lift Har-
per il ne is lacking IN control before
any great damage is done.
II the YANKEE DC not end I. in the
next two days. { possibility that ap-
pears somewhat remote at this time.
Hoyt and Carl Mays both arc likely to
be seen in action again. Nays was
