GIVE
GIANTS EDGE ON
SENATOR RIVALS

New York. Sept. 30 (By A. P.)-
The New York Giants have the edge
ont their world series rivals, the
Washington Senators. when it comes
to offensive and defensive ability of
their respective infields, a comparison
Of the two clubs. based on the latest
averages reveals.
These figures are based on the
first line troops of the Giants, where
several major casualties have oc-
Cured in the closing stages of the
campaign. but they are conclusive.
They show that the Kelly -Frisch-
Jackson Groh combination of the Ma
tional League champions has a COM
bined fielding average of 1925 as
compared with .96925 for the Judge
Harris Peckinpaugh- Bleuge quartet.
At the bat the Giants four have an
even more decisive margin, showing
.2099 to psf for the Senators.
Kelly and Judge are nearly on a
par. although the former is a harder
hitter; Frisch excels Harris both at
bat and af1eld. PeckinpauSh has the
edge on jackson in experience only.
while Groh is much ADLER than
Bluege.
Calculations. however. may he up
set by the inability of the Giants to
put their full inf1eld strength on the
field. Frisch seems certain to play
but Groh is on the doubtful list. In
addition. McGraw has indicated he
may shift Kelly, who has filled in at
the Keystone bag to center field and
play Terry at first. Linstrom, 49,
year old schoolboy. is first string
substitute for Groh. Thus, with Ter
ry at first. Kelly or Frisch at second.
Jackson at short and Lindstrom at
third, the Giants would not look so
formidable as the figures show.

FavOrites in Bets

New York. Sept. 3O.-(By A. P)
sensational victory
in the American League has stirred
baseball fandom to unprecedented
enthusiasm in the fight which the
Senator's will start for the worlds
championship with the New York
Giants next Saturday in the National
Capital.
Officials of both clubs, after a con-
ference today with Commissioned
kenesaw NJ. Lands, disclosed they
are being flooded with requests for
reservations.

match the capacity of the Yankee
Stadium will prevent the shatterng
of attendance records, officials de-
clared.
Commissioner Lands left for
Washington this afternoon to take
part in the homecoming celebra-
ton planned in the capital for the
Senators tomorrow.
Wall Streets interest in the series
was shown today in reports of wa
gering on the outcome. with even
money generally prevailing. Several
wagers were reported, however, with
the Senators as slight favorites. With
Walter johnson slated to twirl the
first game for Washington, several
bets were made at = to > that he
would lead the American Leaguers
to victory.
Meanwhile the boards of strategy
of both teams are mapping their
campaigns. While the Senators gen.
orally are credited with possessing
the more formidable hurting corps.
built around the veteran johnson,
Giant supporters believe McGraw
will have unexpected strength in
the box. They point out that the
Senator's mound staff showed I'M
mistakable signs of strain in the
closing weeks of the American
League race whereas the Giant hurl-
ers finished with impressive exhibit
tions when everything was at stake.
Part of McGraw's plans. it was
indicated today. involve use of a re-
versible lineup against the Senators,
depending upon the type of pitch
ing. Although he has not announced
his final decision. it is believed he
plans to employ Terry on first base
and George Kelly. regular first
sacker. in center field against right
handed twiring. with the sensational
youngster, Hack Wilson, in left
field. When the Senators send their
southpaws, Mogridge and Zachary.
TO the mound, McGraw probably will
use Wilson in center. Irish" Meusel
in left and Kelly on first.
frankie Frisch. captain and sec
ond baseman of the Giants, expects
to be at his regular position but with
the probability that Heinie Groh's
twisted knee will not be in shape,
McGraw is grooming Freddie Lind
strom. Chicago schoolboy, to start
the series at third.
The umpiring staff for the series
vas completed today when President
Heydler named William J. Klein and
Ernest Quigley to represent the Ma
tional League. President johnson of
the American League previously had
selected Tommy Connolly and Will
