Whitey Witt, the Yankee centerfielder, is the fast- est man in the league getting down to first base and he is a good lead- off man. He is not too brainy on the bases, however. He fields fairly and is helped out of the handicap of @ rather weak arm by Babe Ruth, who does most of the heavy heaving for him when he has to go back far for a drive, The Meusel brothers, Irish and Bob, will be in charge of the leftfie'd patrol’ and there ig little to choose between them. Bob has a muc!i better arm than his Giant brother and he can hit with him at times, but Irish is a more consistent batter ina pinch. Bob is faster when he wants to be and both of them are erratic fielders. In the games al the Yankee stadium where there are great open spaces in left field Bob will be a betterefielder, at least in getting back to the ball, although he is never sure of catching !t when he gets there. Irish is @ better “money” player, and for the feason that he has done more when it meant most, he has a slight edge on his younger brother. In reserve strength the Giants are better fortified as they have Stenge!, Cunningham and BShinners to fall back upon, while the Yanks have El: mer Smith, only a fair fielder and a spasmodic hitter, and two rookies, Haines and Hendricks, to step into an emergency. If Babe Ruth hits as he has been hitting all season, he will be worth the whole Giant outfield, but if he does not improve upon his 1921 and 1922 form, the Giant outfield will be brilliant outfield. It would be too much to expect that any ma- jor league team could present a com- bination like that former Boston trio of Hooper, Sueaker and Lewis, but the outer defenses that will work n the world's series are not as good as the boundary guardians of the Cincinnati Reds or any better than that owned by several other clubs, In outfielders. who are to carry a most important part of the defense, both teams are fairly even in strength and neither combination is as well balanced as it might be de- sired. The power of both outflelds is found in rightfield, where Ross Young and Babe Ruth have been playing regularly for the rival clubs. Taking his record through the past season, Ruth is a more brilliant player and of more value to his club, but remembering what he did in the past two series, Ruth might be turned down by many fans in favor of Young. “Pep” Young is one of the few real stars on the Glant team. He is a hustler, one of the most aggressive players on the team, a good fielder, a dangerous hitter and a daring base runner. In the opinion of many ex- perts he is one of the best players in the game. Ruth, this season has been doing everything that Young does, only he has been better in throwing, Young hasn't an unusually strong arm, whereas, next to Bob Meusel, Ruth perhaps has the best outfield whip in baseball. Ruth is also a hustler, his hitting and slugging needs no comment. He is a good fielder and a very fast man on the bases, despite his weight. Like Young, Ruth also is the chief hustler of his team and a player who {s heart and soul in every play.|much more effective.

FARRELL, (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Oct. 4—(UOnited Press)—Only a few debutantes will make their first bow in world's se- ries society when the Giants and the Yankees line up for the 1923 classic. Both Managers McGraw and Hug- gins probably will decide to start practically the same teams that played in the series last fall and most of the players will be veterans of at least two previous inter-league combats. The Giants heave three star young Players and at least two of them are almost sure to be seen in one or more of the games. Jimmy O'Connell, the youngster for whom the Giants pald the San Francisco Pacific Coast league club the record sum of $75,000, will no doubt get a chante in some of the games {n center field. Manager Mc- Graw may not start him, as he js a nervous youngster, and Casey Sten- gel, the veteran warrior, might get the assignment in the early games, Jack Bentley, the $65,000 south- paw pitcher who came from the ered much of a terror to the Giants as he was to the American league clubs. Considering every angle, It would appear that the Yanks, because of Ruth's hitting throwing and fielding combined haye the advantaga in right field. Centerfield ts not so easy to com- Q.

' Chance for Jackson, Travis Jackson, the young short- stop who came to the Glants from the Little Rock club of the Southern association, will be put to work if Heinie Groh, the veteran third base- men should not be able to hold up during the series. Jackson was called upon to fill the place of Dave Bancroft, the Giant captain, who was out for six weeks during the mid-season, and he gave promise of developing into @ great player. He ts a game kid, ® good fielder and a fine hitter, and with more experience he might have been given a place as a regular, Unless the Yanks should have a walkaway in the series, it is doubt- ful that any new players will be able to break into the lineup. Huggins, with the exception of Haines and Ifendricks in the outfield, and Ben- ny Bengough, a third string catch- er, has no new material on the team. Herb Pennock, former Red Sox southpaw, no doubt will be started in one game. He had @ very good season and it is almost sure that he will get a chance to pitch one of the games. Huggins’ Reserves. For infield reserves Huggins has Mike McNally, 4 veteran, and Ernio Johnston. who was added to the roster in mid-season when the White Sox asked waivers on him, Elmer Smith, hero of the 1920 world’s series when he was playing ‘with the Cleveland Indians, will get the first call for outfield duty in an Nineteen, made by Ed.

The Polo Grounds was remodeled last winter at a cost of over half a million dollars and it {s the finest park in the National league, infield ts rounded with a double-deck grand- stand that gives the park a seating capacity of 56,000. There ts only a small bleacher section tn center field that seats about 7,000. The Glants and the Yanks set the present attendance record when they drew 269,976 fans to the world's se- ries in 1921, when eight eames were played. Owing to the short seri last fall, the attendance did not ap- proach the preceding year’s mark. Starting later than usual, the se- ries may be bothered with bad weather this year and the general slump in interest may cause tho at- tendance to decrease, the two parks will be filled to ca- pacity for the first two or three games and new marks are practical- ly sure to be established.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—After nine long years, two of which were spent in active service in the World war, Hank Gowdy, outstanding player in the briefest world’s series in base: ball history, bobs up as a prospec tive hero of another title-deciding tournament. In 1914 Gowdy was a member of the Boston Braves, who captured the world's series by defeating Connie Mack's Athletics in four straight games, Early this season Hank became the property of the New York Na. tionals. As a Glant, he will gain his second opportunity to figure in the title contests. Hank was a conspicuous figure {n the Braves’ history of 1914, both during the league season and tho world’s series. He has been a help. ful member of the Giants this year. His 1914 world series batting aver. age was .535, he having registered a homerun, a triple and four doubles in 11 times at bat.
