score stood at 15 to 8, with the Tro-

George Dixon, all coast guard of

such fine defensive style that the

the game from scoring standpoint.

letics for a $4,000 contract (Which
big baseball men say amt so) says
he is going to play in the world s
series.
Rogers Hornsby, who left job
and 100000 worth of st. Louis
Cardinals to come to New York for
100000 year, says that the Giants
are going to win the pennant.
SO, as Jack Hendricks, the ches-
terrified of the Cincinnati Reds, says
-" What s the use to play it out. -
Cobb, after signing the contract
offered him by Connie Mack, con
fided in friends that he would have
joined the Athletics even if he had
been offered less money than the
Athletics could pay.
~ picked the team / think is GO
ing to win the pennant as | want to
finish my career in another world
series,' Cobb said. So he apparent
ly thinks that the Athletics are i'll.
Hornsby didn't have any choice
in coming to the Giants. He was
given passage from st. Louis and
he had to go to McGraw or no
where.
"Why shouldn't I prefer the
Giants!D he asked. "It IS good
money ! IN getting and there's a
cut of the worlds series dough
coming.'
Although there is the mere mat
ter of 154 games and the Yankees
and the Indians between the Athlct-
les and the pennant, and the same
number of games and the Cardinals
and the Reds and the Pirates and
the Cubs in front of the Giants, the
two clubs are the most strengthened
i'll the two leagues.
Players are notoriously poor as
pickers of winners and the judg-
ment of Cobb and Hornsby will not
cause change of Philadelphia and
New York money on the winter
books but they look like good shots.
Since he struck his head out Of
the second division last September,
McGraw has strengthened the
Giants by the addition of Rogers
Hornsby, Eddie Roush, Burleigh
Grimes, George Harper, Bevo lie,
Bourveau and Al DeVormer. Per
haps some of them look like bar
gains, but Hornsby, Roush and
Grimes would strengthen any ball
club.
Pitchers Weak =.
The only weakness on the Giant
club apparent to the naked eye is
behind the bat and McGraw, who
seems to be desperately intent for
another pcnnant, hardly will start
the season with a hole back of the
plate.
There is n question about the
pitching staff = but mention one
staff that is beyond question.
Connie Mack, failing several
times by a nose with young team
that blew up in the pinch, decided
to get some age and experience for
the Athletics this year and he pro
ceeded to sign up Ty Cobb, Eddie
Collins and Zach Wheat.
He also paid d Tot of money for
Joe Boley, a shortstop from the Bal,
timore Internationals, and for Dud.
