Grade pitchers; and hurting that is
only fairly good has no tsrrors for
''murderers row"
If Nehf proves able to get away
with The opening assignment the
series may go to six games with the
lef,-ha nder scoring twice, but should
he fail at the outset close students
of the game will be only mildly sur
prised TO see the Yankees emulate the
feat o: the Boston Braves against the
Athletics in 1914 and take four in a
row.
Luck Always q Factor.
So much for the pitching. which. as
has been set forth. provides the only
method having any pretense to re-
liability for forecasting purposes in
base ball. In the last analysis,
hurting Of even stellar brand is
futile unless it is accompanied with
fair share of luck for the team
possessing it. World series history
to fully as great an. extent as the
paigns is replete with instances
where sensational ground work, her
culean hitting and prodlg1ouS featS
afield have been set at naught by
pebble in the path of an apparently
soft bounder or d hole under the
foot of sprinting outfieider.
Errors are part of the game and
the best of players. being only hu-
man, make mistakes. but some fail
to figure in the outcome and others
prove calamitous. 1t has been
said that winners make their own
luck and that the smiles of the god
dess of fortune are evenly distribut
ed in the long run. These aNioms
apply in only a negligible extent to a
world series, however In a short set
such as that getting under way this
afternoon, there is not sufficient
time for the pendulum of chance to
swing back after it has started in
certain direction.
The Yankees should cop in COM
mon canter. but the breaks of the
game will decide the issue and if the
Giants get them a team of the best
PLAYERS the game ever produced
would battle in vain to forestall
defeat.

GIANTS DESERVED NAME
WHEN GIVEN BY MUTRiE

"Gisnts in action as well as in
STATURE" Eldsed old jim Mutrie
enc day more than n quarter CEN
tury ago as he sat observing the
New York team. then an aggreSa-
tiOn of sir-s0Otcrs, stride to VIC
tory as easily as fairy-bOGk man
wearing seven-IeaEue boots would
win IL Marathon race.
Ever since they have been the
Giants - professionally, cOmpeti-
lively and financially. Jim was
the "daddy of the Giants" and had
the right to attach Il mOniker to
his fisurative progeny, but when
he uttered his now famous phrase
he did it out of simple aGmira-
ton. 4 reporter sitting near TO
him usurped the ministerial func-
tiOn and did the baptiSiHG.
The Giants are now forty years
old. Mutric brought the club into
existence in 4SS:s by inducing John
Il. Day. a rabid fan of the sideburn
days, to finance his idea.

Physically. Ruth is in much better
condition today than he was just be-
fore the world series in 1921 He be-
gan the series in 1921 ailing and he
quit it more ailing. There was no
hocus pocus about it. With all his
boylsh eSotism and some other traits
he is not gutter under fire or any
other time. He will give what he
has as long as he can give it.
In Bad shape Last Fall.
He played much better prior to the
world series of 1921 than he played
during the series. Between his swol-
len arm, the doctors and the fact that
the Yanks were losing after good
start. he developed a case of nerves,
and nerves are a bad thing for a man
who isn't possessed of a liberal fund
of philosophy.
The Giants will go after Ruth in
that quiet, mild and calm manner for
which ball players are noted now
and then, and they will try to get
and play upon his nerves like a ma
rimba band whacking its Jars. If
they get him going they figure that
he will be a sucker batter.
Suppoae they fail and that Ruth. in
stead of hothering about anything
but the game, hits into the pace that
he was following shout July. 1921.
VIII il make any difference to the
Yanks? Yes. most emphatically.
If he oyerlookS every attempt to
get him personally and viii go about
his business like piece of ice, when
he isn't on the field and like a hot
coal when he is playing, he will in
pre- his players to do things with the
bat. because if Ruth is batting the
YankS VIII bat with him.
Cobb Was Not Immune.
Years ago when the Detroits won
the championship and played in a
world series the players of the op-
posing team jabbed shots of sarcastic
intent under the skin of Cobb when
ever they had opportunity. and If you
don't believe that they did any good
ask Jennings, who had Cobb as the
hot end Of short -circuited wire for
part Of his life. And Jennings, as as
SiStant manager of the Giants, will be
on deck to direct the heckling of
Ruth.
Cobb was fused player before il
was over. just as Ruth was last sea-
son. Keep Ruth to business and the
Yanks viii be better by much than
last year.

The hundreds of Harreis Of ink and
thousands of pounds of paper devoted
to the presentation of statistics, con-
lectures and opinions on the relative
strength in various departments of
the contesting clubs serve a purpose
in that they are interesting and fill

ball served in large and frequent
doses. AdherentS of both camps can

Yankees Favored in Betting.
However, all comparisons of play
ers as individuals. team fielding rec
ordS or batting percentages safely
may be disreGarded in this or any

is the factor to be taken into ac-
