PIRATES NJ E I
GIANTS AGAIN
IN B|G SET
Pennant Rivals clashing To-
day in First Of Five
Games
b. DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-With vast
calm, if not absolute detachment.
New York is preparing for another
showdown series between the
Giants and Pirates, an event that
very well may decide the 1925 Ma
tional League pennant. The pros
poets of neighborhood ball game
down by the gas works wouldn't
find the merry villagers more I'M
ruffled. AS a matter of fact. many
of them will pull for the Pirates,
that being a strictly local complex.
They suffered a mild form Of fys-
terra here last year when the Sena.
tors beat out the Yankees.
The Giant-P Pirate series will be a
five-game affair. beginning this att
erI1oon, and as Pittsburgh's present
margin OF profit Is exactly three
games, the import of the event is
paIpable. Three straight defeats
not only would bring the two pace
makers on even terms but might
prompt the Pirates to crack alto
gether, la 1921.
And on the other and remaining
hand, the loss Of the series by the
Giants probably will mean the loss
Of the pennant, for It would leave
them from five to SIX games in the
rear with something like eight or
nine more games in the lost col
umn than the Pirates would have.
1t is the lost and not the won col
umn that decides pennant races.
Eeing a five-game series, some
thing must happen, for If 1t went
the conventional four 1t would be
altogether possible that they would
break even on victories, with moth
ing accomplished. nothing done, to
earn a days repose or whatever
the poet said.
The Giants, for a change, seenI
to be somewhat better prepared for
the issue. The Pirates are having
their troubles for the first time in
months, Carey and Moore being out
with injuries. They probably will
get back for the big series. but
their efficiency may be impaired.

Meantime, the Giants have come

That has given the club an In

represented by a first-class sieve.
Il might be mentioned also that
the hitters are hitting and the
pitchers pitching. notably Green

Altogether, it looks like the big
of the country but surprisingly
small to New York.

It is well to recall the fact
that we are judged and often
harshly by our behavior on the
links.
No matter where you may be
it is best to stand still until
your opponent or companions
have played. This is only fair
to the other player, and when
you are fair to him you are also
fair to youself, and when you
have observed the etiquette of
the game you feel that you are
playing it more fully.
Always play in turn! Never
speak when the other man is
playing. Do not get angry and
throw your clubs, you are not
the only player who has had
trouble on the links. Recall
how annoying it was TO hear
Sam Smith taking practice
swings while you were driving.
If a player has some little
personal characteristic, learn it
an thereafter respect it. / shall.

RIGHT HANDED,
BUT HE s LIKE
BENTLEY

Fred Fitzsimmons, the latest adj
dition to the Giants pitching staff,
is a right-handed Jack Bentley.
The resemblance between the two
pitchers is so striking that it ~
noticed everywhere they appear
together.
Fitzsimmons goes through prac-
ticaIly the same motions as "Oriole
Jack" in delivering the ball, but
they are not SO elaborate. They
are almost of a size and have the
same build, except that Fitz carries
more fat The only real difference
noted between them to date is that
Fitzsimmons is not a ukulele play
err. But he can make music with
his fast ball in a catcher's mitt.
No less an authority than Pan
cho Snyder thinks that the new
conner will do. Snyder says Fred's
fast ball is up there on the batter
before he knows it. that his
knuckle ball is deceptive and that
he has a nice curve. That, with
control, should make him a pretty
fair sort of a finger in anybody's
league.
His record with Indianapolis goes
to prove that he is. Out there in
the American Association he lost
only six games while winning
fourteen, and he was so we'll
thought of by the fans that they
howled long and loud when Owner
Smith let him go to the Giants
before the season was over.
Whilethe terms of the Fitzsim-
mons deal were not announced, it
is known that the New York team
must have paid a handsome price
for him, as there were, at least,
four other major league clubs In
the bidding.

ment to the champions. They
had to wait till the twelfth
brought them their seventh
chance. Then they made good.

Lees single ana Speakers pass
put Zachary in hole in the
first inning, but he escaped when
the next two gents failed to get
the ball beyond the infield. For
the next seven innings the loose
Iimbed souhhpaw was invincible.
Four scattered hits were made off
him, but two of them were
scratches and he was never in
danger.
Marberry replaced him in the
ninth only because pinch hitter
had caused his erasure. Marberry
had scare in the eleventh when
the Indians threatened to walk
away with the victory. 1t seemed
certain that the team making the
first run would win at any time
and the Indians threatened boldly
in that eleventh.

issued call for his men to be

Maryland and Washington Col
lege.
There has been a cry raised
about some unfairness in this pre-.
Iiminary training, principally as to
Harvard, Princeton and Yale. The
Big Three have an agreement not
to begin work until the middle OF
next month. But college teams
that these three meet have no
such rulings or regulations and by
getting under way on september
have a margin of two weeks on
the Crimson, Bulldog and Tiger.
Here, i'm the race for the
Maryland title, there can be no
cry of that sort, as all start off
within a few days of each
other.
Practically all colleges meet this
fall, which includes the Naval
Academy, at least two local op-
ponents. The Middies tackle Wash
ington College and Western Mary
land, while Washington College is
to test its mettle against Maryland.
Loyola, Western Maryland. Mount
st. Mary's and Navy.
Strange enough this year, Hop.
kins and Mount st. Mary's do not
meet. The Mountaineers at one
time were certainties on the sched-
ule of the Blue Jays, but arrange
ments were not made this fall for
a game That leaves Hopkins with
but two state colleges on its sched-
ule. Maryland and St. Johns.
Maryland plays Washington,
Western Maryland and Hopkins.
There shouldn't be much trouble in
deciding a state champion this fall
when every team is booked for at
least two state opponents.

1t frequently happens that the
player is more valuable to the
team than the manager. Perhaps
as often the player is of little
actual help to the team, but num-
bers many of it's members among
his personal friends. If he is dealt
with by the manager, the other
players hop on the manager.
If a sandlotter feels disincIi1led
to play on certain day, he can
refuse. The manager can do
nothing more than can him and
If he. happens to be a valuable
player it is necessary for the
good of the team to indulge the
lacIxadaisical performer. This is
CALLING to the manager.
The sandlot managers most diff
ficult feat is to keep his team to-
gether. It is a nydra-headed prob
lem. It is a fact that the average
sandlot manager cannot be certain
one day ahead that his regular
lineup will be available for a con-
test.
Baseball knowledge, judgment Of
men and personality make or break
the big league or sand1ot manager.
But the big-tine pilot has every
thing else in his favor, made to
order for him; the sandlot leader,
nothing.
Yet Washington has q sandlot
team that for harmony. willingness
and aggressiveness compares favor
ably with any major league club
and without doubt surpasses some.
The team-Union Printers; the
manager. Henry Webb, better
known generally as Heinie, and to
the ballplaying printers as The
Moose.
Under Webb's leadership the
Washington typos have won three
successive championships in the
Int ernatiOna1 Typographical
Unions annual tournament that
brings together twelve or tllir-
teen teams representing as many
Canada. Besides this they have
won numerous local champion
ships.
They have just finished winning
the pennant of the Departmental
League and ffext Sunday they will
begin the defense of their Interna-
tional title. The tournament will
be held in the Clark Griffith sta
dunn.
The Printers were successful to a
more than ordinary extent from the
time Henry Webb gripped the reins.
When Webb first was called to
exercise authority he did it in such
a way that every member of the
team realized that a real leader
had come to camp. Also a crack
pitcher, incidentally.
There are ways and ways OF
doing things, particularly in the
matter of exercising authority.
One man may order or instruct
and be Obeyed quickl.' and will
lingIy. Another might issue the
same order or offer the same In
structiOn and offend.
Henry Webb irons out the little
frictions of his club. bound to oc-
cur in any group of men, like q
steam roller flattens soft earth.
And he runs the affairs of the
team, particularly when on the field
of action, by the same methods en-
ployed by the big time chiefs.

as he would like.
