 No Strong Attack
 The Giants are not arest batsmen. taking the club as . whole. They have some fne bat wisldsrs. but the attack of the team is lees consistent than that of the Yankees. On the defensive. the teams appear to bs about st svens.
 When it comes to strategy. the Giants with Medraw and Jennings. may have an edge. but t looks as if the Yankees margin in ll-round strength is sufficient to more than offset any such advantage.
 It looks to me like . hard fought series. with the Yankees the winners in the end.
