NEW YORK. Oct 4.-The Giants
are going on the diamond today TO
play ball. good ball, superlative
ball.
The dopesters have doped their
dope. the sCribes have sCribbled
their sCrivening, and yet it seems
10 me that no one has credited the
Giants with the one thing which
expect will win the first game and
later the worlds series for them.
That asset is a matChless team
spirit, general who can out
maneuver and Illustrate attacks by
even superior forces, and an in.
domltable will to win that sweeps
everything before it.
Baseball writer's have wasted
much ink on writing about what
they call the Giants weakness in
the pitching department. There are
several things they left unsaid.
In the first place. with a seven.
game series, two good pitchers can
win easily.
In the second place, they forget
their baseball history
I'd like to remind them Of it.

So much for that.
We beat the Yankees last year.
Had the Giants approached the
present series in a spirit OF over
confidence. their chances might be
in grave danger. But the very
fact that the Yankees are apparent
ly the favOrites, that they are up
against a real battle, has put the
players on their mettle.
They know that victory will be.
long to the team that hits hardest,
and pitches best. and fields most
cleanly.
They know that they are going
into a fight. but they also feel
they are going into winning
fight, If they play as well as they
know how and have shown they
can play.
That's the spirit in which they
are going into the fray to beat the
Yankees.
The psychology of the Giant
players is that of the winners OF
the worlds championship. They
want to retain the triumph they
won last year.
We did a little practice work
Yesterday at the Polo grounds
Those who saw Bancroft, FrisCh
and Groh, those who watched the
rest of the regulars, saw that the
Giants were in winning fettle.
The whole Giant team believes
that II you want a thing badly

you'll get II.
That's why think that once
again the Giants will emerge as
world champions after this series.

One of the extraordinary things
which ! foresee will be the scoring
of more runs by each team than
is COMMON in world champion
ship clash. l figure there should
be an average of four runs to
team in each game. In fact, with
Babe Ruth and Meusel getting in
their long g-distanCe hits, it is diff
cult to see how many runs will
cross the plate.
On the Yankees side, think
that Walter Pipp may stage the
spectacular stunts during the Sc
ries. His fielding has been won
derful, close to .975, while his hit
ting for the past few weeks ap-
proaches the 400 mark. He has

not been hitting so we'll lately, but
when the fielding averages come
out, Ward will be found to be close
at the top, II not actually the

has come along fine in fielding. and
certainly changing from third to
second base is not such an easy
Job for a fellow. I found Ward as
good a man around second base as

Another mistake people make is
TO think that the Babe is no longer
