The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-05

with plenty of wise crackers r to tell you just how the Giants best thing on the market today Crooking an index finger in your buttonhoIe, they will proceed to teii YOU that the Giants are the pest Daa' cInb always were and always will pc, rhat Bush will be a prebeian sucheL The next time out that Bob ShaWKey is made to order for the Chants anu will get the rough dry treat treatment @ .o day that McGraw will outSrna art H@ps @ gins, and so on ad infinitun1: 1ou can never win an argument froin second guesser.
 The picture-perfect weather of yes terday carried right over to today and a cToudless autumn day 1hsureo the same comfortable conditions TOT crowd is looked for, perhaps hot as large as the opening day gathering' The gate will be something of an antfclimax from the crowds point or view with the general excitement of the inaugural over and done with ana the fntercity element missing.
 The overnight Morons, who wait Tn line for the chance of buying into an uncomfortable bleacher seat or in the upper grand stand, were by no means as plentiful. only handful being present at the unenanted box office this morning. For one thing. 1t was
  that arrived at the park at reason able hour would be acconm odated. For another. 1t is only the Tanks and Giants battling and New York figures that 1t knows all about both by this time.
 Chicago Series Recalled.
 Away back in the dark ages around 1906. the Cubs and White Sox engaged in the first private world series and factional feeling ran so high that Chi yTr5fh a mil hi is nothing like that here. They are not sufficiently interested from com petitive standpoint. to argue the point st any time. New York is bound to win. so why become asitated?
 Figured on a speculative basis, the series. of course. has its interest. One is bound to maintain 8 nodicurn Of attention when one happens to have placed oness good money in tho hands of neutral third party. who always is inclined to insure ones personal interest
 The defeat of Bush yesterday un- money right back into the pocket. Yet, the feeling seems to prevail that the Tanks are due today, in spite of the fact that Miller Huggins is set on pitching Shawkey, who was beaten off in two starts against the Giants last year. and McGraw is almost certain to counter with Jess Barnes, who dis posed of the Yankees very readily in the same series.
 Sha1vkey Is Better.
 Barnes, however, is not as good as he was then, Shawkey much better. The latter had bad year in 1921 and topped it off by blowing big leads in each of his attempts to stop the Giants. He is a, pitcher who works on rival weaknesses and fine money player but the Giants do not hesitate to say that they will beat him and any time a team feels that way about 1t a pitcher is in for a careworn after The noble clan climb 1aboriously aboard the best fast ball pitcher in the land one day and then the next it will fold right up be- fore some kid with foolish looking curve. This is the edge Barnes en- joys before he starts, irrespective of the psychological advantage of having bowled over the same team last year The crux of the entire situation rolves around Barnes. If he can win today impressively the Giants never will be headed.
 Nehf. who had sharper break on his slow ball yesterday than this writer ever saw him get before, is certain to come back with a fine per- formance his next tune out and should Barnes exercise the same master over the Tanks as he did ir the 1921 series the thing is abso. 1utely in.
 On the other hand, should Barnes fail to get by, he will be through fol the duration of the series. unless he is used as a relief pitcher. In thai
 
 McQuillan, for Nehf has only one more game in his slight system al the most.
 This 'Eif' business about pitcher. Is merely a Giant problem. Huggin: can come back today with Shawke1 and string along with Hoyt, Mays ant Jones, any one of whom Is likely cc stop the Giants. A lot of citizens like Mays a world series pitcher an6 would be highly gratff1ed if HuggIn: would start him today or romorrow Mays. however. has had an unTmpres sive season and the worthy MT Hug, gins has single track mind. He vii always 10 the obvious thing.
 It is right there that you have ths difference in managerial strategy, a! exemplif1ed by the series RIcGrav is always seeking the unusual. He i guessing two jumps ahead of p1a. while the other fe1row is trying r' make u.p his mind
 It was noted yesterday that the in terrogahve neck Of the Giants, Look ing to the bench for instructions wa. not much in evidence On the fac, ming the team from behind the plate yet an old timer assured us last nigh that Snyder had no more to do witt the running of the team that we had
 McGraw was simply flashing hi signals through another agency. H happened to have a smart pitcher il there in the person of Art NSehf and i was he who looked over to McGraw caught the flash and conducted him self accordingly.
 Some of Johns strategy was ope1 to question For instance, he ono had Young bunt with two on and tw, out for no apparent reason beyont the fact that he hoped to catch tn Yankees on their flat feet. The, would not do anything like that them selves; therefore, why look for it iron rival?
 McGraw Directs Rally
 The winning rally in the eighth wa engineered by MCGraw. HugginS IiIx @ to have his men get up there and wal B pitcher out, just as he was able t do in his salad days. McGraw place no such restriction his players Nothing that Bush was unusuall steady. he sent the Giants out to hi the first ball and in consequence, Ban
