Jezebel Tecumseh-or shall he be
called Jonathan Thompson Walton.
now that he is in a world series
Zachary is apt to go to the hill for
the American League champions,
while the National League title win
ners probably will assign Hugh Nc
Quillan, their right-hand pitching ace,
to the mound.
Zachary enjoyed a fine season with
the Nationals after late start, al
though he did not appear to advan-
tage in his last start during the cham
pionship campaign. His work against
the Red Sox last Monday in Boston
was nothing to brag about, but since
then Zachary is supposed to have
rounded into excellent pitching form.
His workouts during the drills for
the base ball classic impressed Man
ager Stanley Harris SO favorably that
he believes the southpaw should not
find it difficult to bowl over the Giants.
The New Workers were not so partial
20 portside fiinging during their run
to the National League flag, and per-
haps have not acquired any liking for
them since.
If McQuillan starts for the Giants,
the Nationals will face a seasoned
campaigner. He has been in the game
a long while, and knows about all
there is to discover of the art of
pitching. He has been a dependable
man for the New Workers all year,
and his last performances in the
league race were of this order.
There never is any certainty about
McGraw's pitching selections until
game time arrives, though. The leader
of the Giants may decide to use Nir-
gil Barnes, also a right-hander, but
less experienced than McQuillan.
Barnes, however, is capable of some
very fine slabbing, and if he is on
his game, when in the box, is difficult
obeat.
Should n riEht-hnnder start for the
Giants today, Manager Harris very
likely will send Memo Liebold, vet
eran gardener, to center field insteaed
of Earl McNeely. Lebold is a left-hand
hitter of ability, and a good lead-off
man. He is not so fast as McNeely in
patroling the pasture, but is more
certain fielder than the youngster Lie
bold would have been used yesterday
had not the Giants employed a left
handed hurler.
johnson struck Gowdy's bat with a
pitch in the seventh yesterday and
the red-thatched Giant catcher insist
ed he had been hit on the fingers.
Umpire Connolly did not agree with
Rank, out that did not deter the
Giant from showing his hand to each
of the base umpires after a pass put
him on the path.
That slam Of Peck'x down the third
base line was so hot it handcuffed
Lindstrom and the ball journeyed to
left field for single. Two were out at
the time, SO Peck darted for second
and went into the bag under Gowdys
high throw. 1t was the first stolen
base of the game
Frisch certainly kept the Nationals
at bay in the seventh. After Ruel fol-
lowed Pecks hit with a walk, frankie
made a spectacular catch of Johnsons
liner. The Giant second sacker had to
leap high to spear the ball.
That famous Giant double steal
proved to fizzle in the eighth. Young,
on third by virtue of double and
an infie1d retirement and. Terry on
first after a pass, tried to engineer
the theft, but RueI held the ball as
Terry broke for second, then wheeled
and heaved to Bluege, who managed
to get Young jumping back to the
sack and the Giants were out.
Rice nndc a fine steal of second
after he strolled in the eighth. He
went into the bag hard, too-it
seemed too hard to satisfy Jackson.
The Giant shortstop was not In good
