GIANTS MEET

Expect to Definitely Settle Ma

BY DAVIS J. WALSH.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2O.-The last
Of the 1922 ''if' series comes down
to decision at the Polo Grounds
during the next three days in the
final meeting Of the Pirates and
Giants. An III" series is one Of

In the present instance. the 'if''

are riding high. wide and hand,

in front with thirteen TO 70.
Therefore, II the Pirates can run
through them for three straight
the Pittsburgh outfit will be only
two and half games in the rear
with seven to play. Then the
Pirates would be forced to wit
six OF those seven games. IL the
Giants break even on their re.
naming ten, for the race to end
in tie.
Again II the Pirates take two
out OF three in the present series
and rush through the rest OF the
schedule without a defeat, in short.

the Giants would only have to
win four of their last ten games
to get a tie.
But II the Giants win the series.

However. the late Harry Pulliam

Far Behind to Catch UP in
Struggle This Year.

The Yankee pennant stock sook
boom today following their defeat OF
the Tigers while the Browns were
LOSING TO the Senators. The IdnK"eS
now have a lead of twO> and one'hiif
games. They have nine more games
10 play and the Browns have eight
Every victory the Yanks gain in thei"
remaining games will make 1t so
much harder for the Browns TO over
haul them.
In order to win the Browns must
gain three more victories than the
Yanks in the few games remaining TO
be played. The Yanks can lose ;wo
OF their remaining games and stlll
win, even IL the Browns win AL their
eight games.
The Giants lost half game OF
their lead yesterday when they were
idle while the Pirates were trimming
the Phillies. The Giants have lead
o. five and one.half games. They
meet the Pirates in the first Of
three game series today. Pittsburg
must sweep the series TO have even "A
Iookin on the pennant. One or more
victories for the Giants will shaIt1r
the Pirates chances.
The Giants have thirteen more
games to play while the Pirates have
ten. The Giants need only seven OF
their remaining contests 10 win out.
even IL the Pirates win all their ten
games. This gives the Giants the
edge, as they have to play a little
better than 700 ball. while the PI-
rates must play 1000.
All in all II looks like another New
York world series two weeks from
now.

To-Day the leaders OF DOth Teams
may congratulate themselves on
having used rare Judgment in not
having a second game last fall.
After Mercury and Mohawk had
fought their scoreless contest many
fans clamored for another engage
ment.
A second game would have rcaped
financial harvest. But the play
physically. That was a tough game
between Mercury and Mohawk, and
II had followed closely several other
hard struggles. Injuries were
numerous.
So the Mohawk and Mercury
chiefs passed up golden com
mercial opportunity and their
Judgment results benefIciaiiy in
two particular ways. For one
thing. the fact that no decision
has been reached regarding one
rivals supremacy over the other
makes this years game more I'm.
teresting than II might have
been.
For another thing. the Mohawk
and Mercury leaders prevented pos.
sible adverse criticism of the sand
lot game by fans always ready to
crab at slight provocation. Some Of
these undoubtedly would have
raised the cry that Mercury had de-
liberately played a tie game in order
to swell their Golfers by playing an
other.
Sandlot football assembled in popu-
larity last fall to the point whore 1t
became a Tnoney.making proposition.
Luckily for the game, the leading
clubs took the attitude that the
sport was more important than the
money and the spirit displayed In all
contests was primar yin bringing out
fans who never before had taken IN
terest in sandlot athletes.
At this early day. the MOhawlS'
Mercury contest looms rs the sea
sons sandlot classic. but other
and possibly just as important
games from the standpoint OF de-
Gliding the years best team. are
In the making.
Some crack elevens that were lot
in the field last year are icing
formed. They place trust in good
coaching, or coaching at least hbrve
the usual sandlot brand, to put them
in front.
Among these particularly are
Georgetown A. c. and Seat Pleas.
ant A. c. DR.. Jack Hesarty, former
Georgetown University star. and
later coach OF the North Carolina
state eleven. is handling the George
town A. c. team.
Charley Guyon, Eastern High
School coach, is shaping the Scat
Pleasant grid machine. Both have
abunadnt material and both OF these
clubs are starting with plentiful
ambition.
So 1t Ia far from a foregone con
clusIon that either the Mohawk or
Mercury clubs will be entitled TO
mpionship claims when the cam
paisn finally Ia over.
