NJ GRAN KEEPS
HIS PLAYERS
ON EDGE
insists on Mild Daily Practice
For All Of His
Regulars.

Herb PennOck.
By SAM CRANE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Manager
McGraw Is working his world
champions in nice, quiet way
Just now, but still keeping them
on edge for the big show" He
insists on daily practice for his
regulars, but only just enough
to keep them In shape physically.
Their minds are the real things
to be considered. McGraW desires
to keep them from thinking Of
the coming series.
There are a number Of money
mad men in this town who only
figure on the anticipated receipts.
So many of them are figuring
what they will do with then
shares Of the world series receipts
they forget everything else.
In fact, there are some OF them
in holy horror over several of
the new rules of the National Com
mission that reduce their financial
prospects materially.
To get them away from that
cent per cent consideration 10 what
perplexes their manager. In the
old days players We're accustomed
to go into a series with more idea
Of sport. Nowadays, however, the
commercial idea Of "how much
there Is in it for me' seems to
have obliterated from the players
minds the love of the game.
This change Of spirit and senti-
ment il due largely to the much
bigger salaries that are being
paid now to the players than in
former years, when salaries aid
not figure up to bank presidents
stipends. The club owners are in
consequence largely responsible.
Still, by these changes, for which
the players cannot be held as
solely guilty, they have become
money mad" Because they are
does not in the least detract from
the interest that centers around

pG9yers of latter day world series
have been called money players, I"
johnny Rawlings had that name,
and he proved conciusiYely that
he was If frankie Frisch is In
class so much the bet
ter for the Giants. 1t makes no
to the average baseball
fan of tnday what the inspiration
of a "fA7rdham Flash; If he
gets there it is amply sufficient.
The baseball fans of yesterday,
the same as those of today, want
winning results, and they will
cheer to the echo those players
who "come through" 1t is the win
ners who are acclaimed, not those
who fail to: "geI across"
And still. as we look back, We
rather prefer the boys who love
the game for the sports sake.

label as false odds on the Yankees
to win the Worlds Series from the
Giants may be wiped out before the
end of the week, according to brok-
cr's in tho Wall Street district.
The first figures quoted on the
Yankees were 7 to 5. Shortening
point they have remained to s
for several days, but there Is an
unmistabeable tendency toward even
money, due to the previous victories
of the Giants over their American
League rivals, and the sentiment
that John MeGraw Is crafty enough
to maneuver his team in a way to
cover up weak spots.
Odds on the Yanks to win the
first game are quoted by one firm
at IL to 10. The following freak
bets are reported: Even money Babe
Ruth hits a homer in the first game;
1 to that either team will win the
firts two games; l to z that either
will capture the first three games;
and l to that either will win four
straight.
