The Boston tribe speaks tOuChingly
almost tearfully-of the 1912 series
which the Red. Sox took from the
Giants, winning four, losing three,
and tying one. 1T was in the eighth
and final game at Boston on October
16 when the score was a tie at the
end of the ninth" so the legend
runs.
THE Giants scored one in the
tenth" says the old fan. Scored
one and led Harry Hooper did the
job. Why, sir, he leaned over the
fence and took DOyle's long hit that
was ticketed for a home run. and
as it turned out later, it was the
saving play of the series. 1t was
the deciding play. That was the
climax.
"At any rate. the world went to
pieces for the Giants in their half Of
the inning. Snodgrass muffed long
fly hit by Engle, who batted for
Wood. Engle went to second on the
error. Snodgrass tried to redeem
himself on the next play by safely
catching a terrific liner that Harry
Hooper hit with the intention of
ending the series.

Any time a young pitcher can dis
pose of Babe Ruth four times in a
row, he's worth watching. And
when that same young pitcher can
fill the bases with two passes after
tfrtting the first man hit, and then
bino-well. that pitcher amounts to
something more than mere
thrower.

The fans were buzzing like bees.
Tim Jordan's far.famed Black Bat
TALON ceased to shout and gaZed
spellbound at the field. The Bam-
bino was up there.
Keep working" barked Bucky
Harris to the pitcher. And the
pitcher did just that thing.
There was no attempt to bend the
ball in around Ruth's knees or to
make him reach over to the outside
of the platter. Yarmouth pitched to
Ruth just as he would to any other
batsman. Maybe he didn't know the
batter.
The Babe swung nightly at that
curve ball that broke about shoulder
high and finished somewhat lower in
Pete Lapan's big mitt. He swung
three times as a matter of strict
count and the big crowd roared its
delight. The new pitcher had famed
Babe Ruth with the bases jammed.
Then, when Wally Pipp raised
weak fly to Joe Judge and the frame
was ended, the Yankees had failed to
stage their one real blow-up which
might have given them a victory.
Meusel got a single in the sixth and
Jones one in the ninth, making five
in all, but that's the sum total of the
damage done by the Yanks' bats.

The fondest admirers of the Giants
realize that McGraw has far
tougher fight on his hands than he
had a year ago. His pitchers have
staggered through wearily to a SUI
cessful finish, but have been covered
by the heavy barrages of hits laid
down by the Giants.
The Yankees still have Mays and
Hoyt, who nearly defeated the
Giants between them last fall.
Furthermore, they have Bob
Shawkey in winning form. and Joe
Bush, leading pitcher in the Amer
lean League.
When one reflects that Bush and
Shawkey are really added starters
this fall, and that Mays and HOvt,.
who won three games between them
last year, are eClipsed in the advance
notices by Bullet Joe" and Bat
tling Bob" one realizes what the
Giants are up against.
One trouble with the pitching
ensemble of the Yankees is that il
is too top heavy for a short series.
Unless the American Leaguers win
three out of the first four games,
Mays may not start a game. Bush
and Shawkey will be the head
liners at the beginning Of the Sc.
ries. HOyt comes i'm as a third
choice.
The fielding can be dismissed al
most as briefly as the hitting. Both
clubs fielded well enough to prevent
fatal losses through breaks in de
tense. In all probability the world
athlete, as Johnny Rawlings was fea-
can be assembled will not tell where
the errors will fall, and who will hit.
It merely charts past performances.
The Yankees figure" to enter the
series with the strongest pitching
staff-not only in starters, but in
reservists. Carl Mays and Sam Jones
are two pretty fair emergency men,
and then there is young George Muir
ray to be considered.
A year ago Huggns had no third.
string man. He was compelled TO
fall back twice on Shawkey. who
failed him both times. Fred TonPy
likewise failed McGraw. but his fail
-ure developed Jesse Barnes as the
dark horse" who won the series.
As third reliable pitcher. Barnes
could not be matched by Higgins.
Another reason for picking the
Yankees to win Is the absence Of
"spitbaIT' pitching from the
series. Last fall Phil Douglas
was a serious obstacle TO the
success Of the Rupert Huston
forces. He lost a tough game. but
won a sweet one. The Yankees
dislike the moist delivery.
The Yankees expect to be both

always bothers them. and Nehf was
good last year. II Jesse Barnes
is in form, he will bother them, too
Barnes is a fine curve hall pitcher
pitches good curve and a good
fast ball. shut out the American
League champions last Sunday.
Jack Scott is hard to figure. The
Yankees believe they will hit Scott
and Johnson; they do not anticipate
that Barnes will be as effective as
he was a year ago, and they hope
to beat Nehf. In all these games
they will expect to hold the Giants
to a low score.
Babe Ruth was not a factor last
fall. He should be in this coming
series.
Ruth is not hitting as we'll as he
did last fall in regular champion.
ship games. but he has a knaCk Of
frightening" when he has to.
These are some of the reasons
why we pick the Yankees TO win
the highest honors this fall. Our
guess is that they do 1t in five
games.
