two reasons. The team right down the
line is composed of better hitters and
has more speed, but for what it has
the Yankee offense is fully as versa
tile and smart, if not shifter in tao
ties, for Miller Higgins, though not
the constructive manager John Nc
Graw is, is one of the ablest of strate-
gists.
= Take it right down the line from
Frisch, Young, Meusel and Kelly in
there to keep it going, and we have the
toughest in baseball to face day in and
day out. On the other hand, Ruth, Pipp
and Meusel, with Schang following,
have been known to break "a few
pitchers hearts themselves.
Giant Speed Important Factor
The defense of any team is put to it
to hold speedy men like bancroft.
Young, Frisch an dCunningham. espe-
cially If they get on bases. 1t takes
good arms to hold them, once thew are
on bases. Opposed to that are two ac-
curate and powerful arms, those of
Bob Meusel and Ruth in the outfield.
and an infield of accurate throwers.
The Giants speed last year was not
as big an item as might have been ex-
pected.
That vital part of basball defense,
the median line, from catcher out
through the box, through second base
which includes both second baseman
and shortstop and center feldNands
both clubs strong. McGraw has two
competent catchers, Snyder and Smith,
whereas Huggen has but one, Schang,
the best all-round back of the plate
man in baseball to-day and a money
player"
Continuing along the median line.
the Yankees are stronger in the Dor,
q shade less strong at second base and
not as proficient in center field. Both
sklll and a trifie more quality behind
the bat offset the superiority of the
Giants at the other two points. Both
lnfields are the best in their respective
leagues. It's hard to choose between
them. The Giants have the oettar OUT
field.
Giants and Yanks are both good fight
ing teams. The Yanks are more ant to
be sluggish for brief spells. not as
alert and on their toes from the start
as the Giants, though the former on
their last Western trip were more on
the alert all the time than I've ever
seen them, played smart bali and went
about it in a sool, workmanlike way,
showing confidence and poise.
Both Teams Good Fighters
The comeback qualities of each have
been Noteworthy this year, showing
greater rallying powers than anv other
team. The splendid last ditch fighting
of the Giants in the series last year,
their impressive drive this year after
losing Douglas, must not be overlooked
in considering their chances for next
week. If there's one team more than
another in baseball that isn't beaten
until it's all over, it is this team.
One time Percy Haughton was harang-
uing the Harvard football students on
the eve Of football game with Yale.
II have the greatest respect for Yale"
he said, "but don't fear them" Which
is the way these teams feel toward
each other.
Now for the man-for-man stuff:
Catchers-Giants stronger in num-
bes. having Snyder ard Smith to op-
pose Schang. Snyder as GOOD thrower
as Schang; not as fast worker ba.

More Yankee Margins
U. $. Puteni ogi.D

Last fall Ruth was almost totally dsmembered and
Bob shawkey was la,ner than husbands excuse
The eminent Babe while falling apart, cut down
the Yankee attack at its most vital point
And Shawkey, badly needed, in no shape to
protect a fourrun lead
Quite change this fall. Ruth is rearing to 60
He hopes to fall upon the wavering Giant staff and
lose hatful of balls outside the park
And Shawkey will be only half jump back of Joe
Bush in the way Of effective fire.
With Shawkey and Ruth in good condition last
year. there would have been closer harder fight and
perhaps another story.
These two, with Bush, will make prodigious diff
ference
Giant Chances
The Giants match the Yankees everywhere ex-
cept in the box. They have a surer hitting club and
somewhat stronger fielding outfit
So with them it all down to matter of pitch
ing. -
IT Nehf and Barnes work effectively as they did
last October and McQuilen, Ryan and Scott dash to
their aid the series will be extremely close
But even Nehf has been skidding of late and the
others have been wavering down the stretch
And no pitching staff can afford any great amount
OF waverng before the assautng bats of Ruth Meusel
and others who murder any type of merely average
pitching
They can be halted abruptly but only bv a lot of
stuff that is backed up by intelligent Judgment.
There is nothing smart pitcher likes better than
home-run star swinging the back of his neck off
Last fall 269976 fans paid out $9OO,233 to see the
Giants win by five games to three. AS there will be
only seven games at most on this occasion, the 1921
mark will hardly be approached when it comes to at
tendance figures and high finance
But the appearance of such sluggers as Ruth the
two Meusels, Frisch, Pipp and Young will insure a
lot of fireworks and keep the higher altitude of atmos
phere we'll churned The Yankees have great chance
to achieve their destiny and for the first time in their
history to sit on top of the baseball world With their
pitching predomnance they ought to win Thew are
facing smart, stout-hearted machine, but machine
oaoly handicapped in the most important sector of
the held Ihls handicap may be partially removed
if Nehf and Barnes step back to their fastest naca
last fall both held the Yankees under the water punp
at almost every start But two good pitchers if
there is no outside aid, hardly sufficient to hold
their own against four stars

Tales Of a Wayside Tee
Ry GRANTT AND RJCE
By GRANTLAND RICE
CopvrtsAs. 1879. New York tribune Inc

In tennis last year the two main
figures were Tilden and Johnston. IN
tennis again this season the two main
figures have been Tildcn and Johnston
For the last four years the two main
turf tennis figures of the world have
been Tilden and Johnston.
But golf is another game in no wav
more widely different than its meth cd
of rem moving crowns and shifting
thrones.
Here are the four main golfing fig
ures of the last three years, including
the American and British winners:
1920 Evans, Ray, Duncan, Tolley.
1921-Guilford, Barnes, Hutchison
Hunter.
1922 Sweetser, Sarazen, Hagen
Holderness.
Here you observe before you no less
than four new names each year There
has been no repeating. For the Amer
lean open and amateur and for the
British open and amateur there has
been no repeater. Not a champion has
been able to defend his crown with
any success.
Here are twelve of the greatest
golfers in the world, six amateurs and
six professionals.
Yet not one of them has been able
in three years.
Barnes and Duncan each came within
one stroke of tying Hagen, but neither
could quite double up and collect two
crowns.
Some Reasons for the Same
Why is it that golf knows SO many
shifts and changes, so manN new
names along the conquering line of
march?
In the first place golf has more stars
enrolled than any other single sport
barring possibly such widely different
games as baseball and football.
In turf tennis when one gets beyond
the first ten or twelve there is usually
a wide gap.
But in golf, after naming the twelve
winners of the past three seasons, one
might name twelve others almost as
good.
For exampe, among the amateurs
there are Bobby Jones, Rudy Krepper
Francis Ouimet, Roger Wethered and
Bob Gardner who are not down on the
above list.
Among the pros there are Abe
Mitchell, Johnny Farrell, Leo Diegel
Havers, Boomer and others capable o.
par-heating golf, capable Of winning
any championship.
tg Also
In golf, also, form shifts more quick
ly, 1t is extremely rare that any mar
has two great years in succession.

ison and Guilford were riding The

Amherst Is Next
Football Opponent
For Columbia Team

With the Urinus game, which every
one expected would be Coumbia's
easiest, by this time d thing of the
past, the Blue and White will point
this week for the second contest
Amherst, the college to be entertained
next Saturday at South Field, came
down from Massachusetts, last year
with an eleven much lighter than Co
lumbia's and defeated the locals, 8
to 7.
The Amherst squad has only six
veterans and the backfeId quartet is
composed Of all new men. On the
othre hand, Columbia has eleven
wearers of the varsity "C' on whom
to rely. And of these mon, only six
can be sure of their places, for some
Of last years ineligioles and fresh
men are considerably better than the
letter wearers. In view of these
things, Columbia can hardly be
blamed for being optimistic concern
ing the outcome of Saturdays contest
On the following Saturday the Blue
and White will have Wesleyan as its
guest. The Methodists, who we're de-
fcated by a Ia to 3 tally, were one of
the two elevens that tailed to take
the measure of Buck O'Neill's players.
New York University will trek to
South Field for the annual battle of
the boroughs" week later. BY de-
feating the Bronx institution, - to 0,
last fall, Columbia got the edge on
the Violet in the number of games
won, with four victories, as against
New York University's three. BY
winning, New York University can
even up the series. The Violet has
only seven veterans and none of them
are outstanding as was last years
captain, ack Weinheimer, whose work
was the one redeeming feature Of New
y ork University's play.
A week later, on the % of October,
Columbia will have a bone to pick
with Williams. Last year the little
Massachusetts, outfit, which took the
field with odds in favor Of the
Gotha mites, had the distinction OF be-
ing the only eleven to shut out ire
Lion, and that was done with 20 to
0 score.
Following this, came the first Of the
three really important games, when
the locals journey up the state to do
battle with doleful Gil Dobie's Big

and it may well be considerably diff
ferent IN series in which the result of
each game is vastly more important
than in long pennant race-it has
been pretty conclusively shown that in
six m onths' test, the only satisfactory
kind, the Giants are better hitting
club, and with more speed to supple-
ment their Hitting, and the Yankees II
better pitching club, with fully as good
i defense otherwise.
1t was shown last year that the
Giants and Yankees were good match
for each other, the Giants winning on
strong uphill fight. because they
matched fine pitching-by NAYS and
Hoyt, the rest of the Yankee staff
breaking down-with fine pitching of
their own, delivered by Douglas, Nehf
and Barnes, and because they outhit
the Yankees.
Ruth Handicapped Last Year
1t doesn't follow that they will outhit
the Yankees against this year. 1t were
idle to deny that Ruths crippled CON
dition handicapped the Yankee attack
last year - every fair-minded man
knows it did; but even with him fit, the
Giants, TO my way of thinking, would
have won. Nor does it follow that the
Giants pitchers will be outdone by
those of the Yankees, but the Giants
are the better hitters in so far as natu-
raj ability has anything to do with the
case, and the Yankees have the better
pitchers.
In so far as the series will depend
on these two fundamentals, the cues
tlon OF the outcome resolves itself into
want extent the better hitting of the
Giants will offset the better natural
talent, including quantity and quality,
OF the New York Americans pitchers,
or vice versa, whichever way you want
to put it.
1t is team strength, points and de-
than individuals, is strong, that will
decide this series, not man for man
differences. Individual comparisons,
as the writer has maintained before,
are interesting because they concern
men who will meet in worlds series

va!ne these comparisons have in a

Secret Practice Starts
Early for Bucknell Team,

LEWISBURG, Pa, Sept. 3O.-The
Bucknell football teams have practiced
under blanket of secrecy for the past
week. All entrances to Tustin Field
have been posted by the management
and announcements have been made in
the campus and news publications that
all practices for the rest Of the season
would be held behind closed gates.
Head Coach "Pete" Reynolds is anx-
ious that his men be given half a fair
chance while preparing for the hard
schedule just ahead of them. The stud
ent body is hanDily cooperating with
the management to clear the field of
strange faces during the daily work
outs.
Many spirited sessions punctuated
the schedule for the week. Personal
and team faults were brought to light
in the game with Mansfield, although
the Bucknell team turned in a victory
of 61-0. Pains were taken in remedy
ing the faults and in perfecting the
fewg straight hard football tactics upon
which Coach Reynolds is resting his
hopes for his men to shear the Navy
goat, to vanquish "Jock" Sutherland S
big red Lafayette eleven and to rout the
Pitt Panthers from their home lair on
three successive Saturdays of October
Ia, 81 and 2S, respectively.
Not once during the week were the
sub-varsity teams able to score through
the strong defense of the first division
men. And in the scrmmages of Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday, the
offense of the varsity could not be
stopped consistently.

Inc lads IN plaid from Pittsburgh
came here expecting to win this game
They had been preparing for it for a
month or so, and mat al to defeat
they took in the bowl two years ago,
the most one-sidcd Steffen's ever has
received as a coach, had to be wiped
out with victory. The victory didn't
come, might not have come under any
circumstances, but Carnegie, with a
better team development than Yale,
fumbled and muffed so grossly in the
first half that Yale, taking advantage,
slipped the ball across the line and
over the cross bar often enough in the
hrst two quarters to accumulate thir-
teen useful points.
= Yale made a touchdown in the first
period, following Carnegie's muff OF
punt, and in the second period
O'Hearn, who had succeeded Beckett at
quarterback. dropkicked two field
goals. His first was a beauty. 1t was
kicked from the 52-yard line. The ball
went low, lifted as it neared the bar,
like hard driven golf ball. seemed to
take on more impetus and arched over
as gracefully as a bird a-wing.
Tech Backs Play Well
Mallory's defensive work, O'Hearn' s
kicking and the wide running and
broken field running Of Brumbaugh,
Robertson and other Tech backs were
assets. In the last period Tech was
playing much harder and better or
ganized football than Yale. The Blue
was quite surpassed in that quarter,
after being in Tech territory most of
the three other quarters. Tech found
itself too late.
Yale used substitutes copiously and,
though not distressed at any time,
both subs and first string men had to
keep hustlng to keen some Tech chap
from getting loose. Tech had a strong
team. it's running rame much faster
and further along than Yalc's but one
handicapped by poor handling of the
ball. Then Blue excelled -ar and
awsv in that useful particular and
made very few mistakes. The Penn
sylvanians gained about twice as much

ground, the Blue, it's potential prowess

steady, and Eli having no interference
to speak of for it's own offense. The
Tech team was further along, and it
would have been much closer game

leather.
Beckett tried a drop kick early in the
game, and the bail was blocked. After
that the Ellis minded their P's and Q's

was a deal of slow ard sluggish foot-
ball until Jordan and Neidlinger hit it

Sandford's Rutgers
Machine Captures
Its Opening Game


NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Sept. so
Rutgers opened its. season on Nelson
Field to-day with a victory over the
gray clad PENNSYLVANIA Military Col
iege eleven to the extent of 13 to 0.
The visitors were never dangerous on
the offensive and were forced to punt
repeatedly. Rutgers seemed headed
for larger score. but ragged playing,
the extremely hot weather and an ap-
parent slowness of play under Foster
Sanford's new system of signaling all
helped to slow up the proceedings.
Sanford's newest wrinkle is to have
no signals called at all by the quarter
back or any one else. Instead, before
each play the Rutgers men are called
back for conference. then they jump
TO their positions and at the shout
