Maher, left halfback on the Notre

himself in the contest against Kala-

The habit of doing the sensa.

the opening kickoff of the season

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-"If II

Yankee veterans are pretty cagey

smart as they make 'em, and
Shawkey also mixes a lotta brains

Perkins picks the Yanks to win,
partly because he believes their

Giants Stolen Bases
Much Greater
Than Yanks'

A comparison of the Giants
and Yankees on the basis of the
seasons averages shows super
iority for the National Lesguers
in stolen bases. The Giants
have stolen 108 bases this
year and the Yankees SO.
The Giants have more speed
in this particular part of the
game, take more chances, and
get away with more. There is
an advantage also in the
Giants batting. AS a team
they have an average of 1896,
against .289 of the Yanks.

NEW YORK, 9-Word series fame is indeed fleeing

tween the Giants and the Yankees.
One Joe Bush and Bob shawe rated first and third
spevey League pitchers and lost
the opening attacks Of the Giants
The Washington times., 1923-10-09

They were the Yankee aces in q
hard fight for the American League
pennant. Bush pitched the first
and fifth games of the world series,
losing the opener, to 2, and the
final. 5 to 8. Shawkey appeared
IN only one game-the second
which ended in a tie.
Neither of these boxmen fig
ure to start the series for the
Yankees this week. Bush possibly
may draw the assignment if the
day is cloudy, but Shawkey seems
to be cast for the role OF re-
Rervist.
Neither Shawkey nor Bush has
displayed his 1922 steadinesS this
season and for that reason the
burden of pitching the Nar''N"S
TO victory seems to rest upon
Jones. HOyt and PennOck.
At least that is the way the Yam
kee prospect shapes up now. After
the fight starts anything may hap
pen.
Manager Higgins now ranks Sam
Jones as his must dependable right
handler. Jones came to the Yankees
with a big reputation and was
total bust last season. He got
into two world series games but
only as a relief pitcher. This sea-
son he has been a different player
and he finished the regular season

certainty of facing the Giants to-
morrow at the Yankee stadium.
OF all the Yankee slabsters Waite
Hoyt alone has held his place as

was a marvel against the Giants in
1921 and he twirled one fair game

passed through a disappointing sea-
son. This year Hoyt has done bet.

first three on the Yankee staff OF
star fingers.
The tragic figure is Carl Mays,

Giants a wonderful fight in 1921.
Carl slipped in 1922 and he had hard
