home run. That happens time and
time again during the summer.
| am of the opinion that the
Yankees have a slight advantage h
that all the games are to be played on
the Polo Grounds. Any man in the.
New York American lineup is liable
to get & home run because all of
them take free swing. The Giants
have number of sluggers, but | am
sure the advantage on this score will
be decidedly in favor of the Yankees.
The short confines of the stands in
right and left field goes directly
back at the pitching. When work
ing at the Polo Grounds, a pitcher
can never for moment get careless
with men on and groove ball. He
is always working under restraint

plays part in the result of any
game, that it is a legitimate homer,
