NEW YORK, Oct. Sad Sam
Jones for the Yankees and Art Nehf
for the Giants most likely will be do

series gets under way next Wednes-
day.
Differing with McGraw on practt-
cally all his policies, Miller Higgins,
manager Of the Yanks, is willing to
discuss his plans for the series more
or less In detail.
Jones or Hoyt will pitch the first
game If the conditions are right, but
If it Is dark, heavy day, will start

ready"
McGraw Reticent
McGraw politely insists that he
does not know what Giant pitcher
will be sent after the first game. .I
may not know until have to make q
decision just before the game" he
said.
Nehf has been looking SO good
lately and he is such a steady pitcher
that McGraw no doubt will send him
in to start the series. unless one of
the other pitchers should insist that
he Is Overnight"
Jones is considered the ace OF the
American League champions. as he
has had a very fine year.
Don't Fear Jones
Disregarding the fact that Jones is
one Of the best pitchers in the Ameri-
can League, the Giants are not tirnid
about him. Jones is curve ball
pitcher and the National League
champions figure that because they
haC such an easy time all season with
Johnny Morrison, the curve ball star
of the Pirates. they-will get to Jones.
The Giants are considering Herb
Pennock, the Yankee southpaw, with
mere seriousness than any of the
other Yankee pitchers they win have
to face.
Wally Pipp insists that his bad
ankle will mend before Wednesday.
and that he will be able to play first
base for the Yanks. Higgins, how
ever, admits that he entertains small
hope OF having Pipp in the game and
that he is making his plans to play

YANKEES IN
LAST SERIES
By RAY SCHALK.
Famous White Sox Catcher.

xvi HAT part does the managerial
W tactics Of McGraw play in the
III success of the Giants?
Does McGraw actually signal from
the bench for every ball pitched by
his twirlers during the series?
What system of play is most IA
vored by the rival managers, John Nc
Graw Of the Giants and Miller Hug
gins of the Yankees?
What part will psychology play in
the outcome Of the series? Will the
fact the Yankees failed TO win 4 game
in the last series hurt the morale Of
the club?
In considering the OUTCOME of
world series there ares any
number of things that must be
given consideration in doping out
the winner. Very often some
rather minor detail plays lead
ing role.
In the series last fall the fact that
Catcher Frank Snyder Of the Giants
looked to the bench prior to every bail
pitched. was much commented upon.
The impression prevailed that Man
ager McGraw was doing all the signal
ing from the bench, and that Snyder
was little more than q mechanical re-
ceiver, a mere tool to carry out the
bidding OF McGraw.
While I am well aware Snyder did
look to the bench prior to each pitch,
I never have believed MceTaw was
giving orders on every ball delivered.
Frank Snyder is a great catcher who,
no doubt, is familiar with ,che strength
and weakness of every batsman in the
Yankee lineup. I am almost willing
10 go on record that McGraw did not
do all the signaling. that most Of the
pantomime pulled by Snyder in glanc-
ing toward the bench at McGraw was
the old bunk.
During the games we have played
the Giants on the spring training trips
noticed in a pinch Snyder usually
glanced toward the bench to see if his
manager had any particular instruc-
tions he wanted carried out. 1t is not
unusual for catcher TO so act, for
often the manager may have a d.
rectly opposite opinion to that Of the
catcher as to the best plan to follow.
McGraw is a master strategist.
He knew the Yankees believed he
was doping out every pitch. He
also was aware that such tactics
annoyed the Yankees. For that
reason I am inclined to the be-
HaS he instructed Snyder to Look
In the direction of the Giants
bench on every pitch to carry out
his scheme of battle.
am not trying to detract in any
way from McCraw's successful tao
tics by this statement. On the con
trary, am trying to point out how
1t is possible for a minor detail to up
set the opposition. I know the atti-

tude Of McGraw in making It seem
he was picking the style of every ball
pitched rather got on the Yankees
nerves. Several Of the players have
since admitted as much toSsne.
Successful direction is nf6st essen
tiai to success in baseball There is
cry situation wisely in the last two
series. He got the breaks, invariably
accomplished his objective, and as a
result must be given credit for hav-
ing directed his team superbly.
l always have had the greatest ad-
miration for McGraw and feel much
credit for the success of the Giants
in winning two pennants and two
world series was largely due to his
managerial judgment.
It Is q rather interesting fact that
both Huggins and McGraw are par
tial to the hit-and-run style OF base
ball. In other words. they prefer the
slam-bang type, to tight baseball.
I am of the opinion the Yankees
would have been more successful
against the Giants had they played
tight baseball Playing for a run is
not the style favored by Hugglns. No
doubt he works on the theory it is
uuwise to waste batting power on the
mere sacrifice, that it is better to play
for a cluster of runs than n single
tally.
Yet If one goes over the play
of the Yankees In the last two
series, the second guess will show
the use of the sacrifice would have
maerially changed the outcome of
esevari games dropped by Hug
gins.
Knowing the tactics a team pur-
sues, It is an easy matter to build
up a defense for such a system. No
one ois better versed in the hit-and-
run style than McGraw. He is one
OF the originators Of the play.
think the Yankees will profit If they
shift to tight baseball in the coming
series.
The harmony that now prevails in
the ranks Of the Yankees has made
the club a fighting aggregation. For
that reason I do not look for the
rout of the Yankees of last year to
affect the morale of the club The
Yankees are imbued with the thought
that this is their year That should
