Not jjthat either John McGraw or Miller taggins lack confidence in his team. NBut the fact remains that after all \Vhas been said, both clubs’ are forti- ‘(fied in close to an even basis, with {swing the tide toward either cump. Wy Looks for Better Ball. § <1 look for a higher grade of base- ‘gball this year thes we had a year} ago,” McGraw declared. “This may ibe contrary to general opinion, but ‘its my story. A year ago both teams were a bit keyed up and it took some time ‘for ‘the eension to lessen. This’ year both have gone througn ‘another pennant winning campaign and this, added to the experience they got in the seriep of 1921, should jresult in an absence of ‘nerves.’ Both “should play at their be. } Huggins was perhaps 2 little more outspoken. s° “Wevhave a great lot of pitchers,” fe .snid. “We-have a terrific hitter | in Ruth—a game, hard hitting, fight- ing ball club—a far better team than theone’ the Giants beat ‘last year. All the men are physically fit, men- tally primed. Wy have just come out of the toughest fight ever waged for a pennant. On paper we look stronger than the Giants, but the series is pot won on paper.” 3 Pitching ‘a Feature. Pitching has been the outstanding factor in world’s series triumphs oyer a span of two decades. Records reveal an unusual proportion of shutout twirling—close to a third ot the games ending with one team scoreless, with the high mark in 1905 when..the Giants blanked the Ath- létics four times to win while the Mackmen turned the shutout tables once. ° = Six of the eight games last yea: were pitching, duets, with Hoyt, Phil Douglas, Jess Branes and Art,Nehf in the spot light. ‘This year Huggins has five stars— Hoyt, Mays, Busn, Shawkey” and Jones to oppose Scott, Nehf, McQuil- lan, Barnes and Ryan of the Giants. ‘Bush and Shawkey stand head and shoulders above the rest in season per formances, Hoyt will have the con- fidence gained by thy brilliant show- ing he made last year against the Giants. McGraw's staff, faltering badly in the latter part of the campaign, ap- parently has rounded'into more con- |" sistent form and. may upset ealeu- lations which have given the Yan- keas so decided an edge, in this du partment. “Bush, whom Huggins has picked to open.the series has been handicapped for a while by a stone brujse on-his left foot, but the Yankee manager asgertéd during the team’s workout ydsterday that his star twirler has practically recovered. “He predicted “Bullet Joe” would be in prime. con- dition for the first game. ‘Suuthpaw Art Nehf is expected to draw McGraw’s opening assignment with experts inclined to regard Scott, ‘who has done especially ‘well in thi last few games, as second choice, . MATHEWSON TO SEE GAME New York, Oct. 3,—Christy Mathewson, victorious in the battle for life, is coming to witness the worlds series. It will be the iirst real game “Matty” has. seen in three years, since he began » und won the fight for health shattered by war experience. Out of more than a@ decade of brilliant pitching achievement Matty’s record of three shutouts in in:the 1905 series, when the: Giants defeated the Athletics, stands by itself. He also was with the Giants in’the series of 1911, 1912 and 1913. U. S. SEEKS TO COLLECT LOANS The U. S.

"Many candidates for football teams know what they should do, but they cannot make their «rms and.legs do the things demanded of them.

Much of the preliminary work of this varsity squad was occupied in going through exercises invented for no other reason: than’ to develop co- ordination. ~“Over here I’ll show you a tackle,” said the coach. “This boy is a big and strong and bright. He knows exactly what a tackle: should do ‘and he can answer almost any question you ask him about tackle play, but watch him!” ‘ At this particular moment the can- didate’s team was on offense. The boy’s hards rested- on his knees, while the other tackles’ hands were up. > “Get your hands up or you'll get hurt,” yelled Yost, “ Order Repeated Twice.

To be sure, in.cumparing the cluls as to batting and run making, these ar not the fhe factors to be’ taken into consideration tn determining: su- perior offensive strength. For example, the fielding in one league may yield more runs than the! fielding in the other; or pitching, as related to bases on balls, wild pitches, balks and: strikeouts may be! less effective in one league than inj the other. Assuming these extraneous factors to be equal, the Giants at bat are clearly judged to the Yankees— judged on the present season’s work.! Doesn’t Prove Anything.

Because the peppy Pep doesn’t know when to quit. Left to his own -de- vices he would chase a golf ball for 36 holes inthe mornings and. tire himself out for the baseball games in the afternoon.
