GIANTS SHOULD WIN WORLD’S SERIES ON American entry (top balloon) ALL THE lots were Lieutenant DOPE, BUT-- BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) —-- NEW YORK, Oct. 9—United Press) Confidence being a large and prom- iment part of any battle, the New York Giants should have the advan- tage in mental fettle over the Yan-| kees when they go into their third battle of successive years for the baseball chompionship. After outfighting the Yankees in 1921 and routing them in 1922, it is but natural that the National League champions should go into the 1923 fight fee'ing that they can win. It follows also that the Yankees could not he'p but have a slight doubt about their chances after they had lost two years running to a team that was unanimously regarded as being inferior to the American League Pennant winners. It is this spirit of confidence which should sway the Giants, and the established ability of McGraw’s team to do its very best when the situa- tion is worst that marks: the Na- tional Leaguers the favorite in the! betting. Yankee supporters, if there is such a thing as partisan feeling in New York, believe that the chances of the team rest entirely upon the robust form of Babe Ruth, It has become an accepted axiom that “as Ruth goes, so goes the Yanks,” and on this theory, which was proved beyond all doubt, during the last season, if the swat king shat- ters the spell that John McGraw has cast over him for two yeats, the Yanks ought to win. Star pitching as it is represented in the Yankee staff, will {mpose plen- ty of trouble upon the Giant batters but it will be nothing compared to the handicap McGraw's team will have to carry if Ruth goes on a bat- ting rampage. It is impossible to look in the glass and see a movie of what the Babe is going to make of the chance to re- deem himself, but it is almost a safe bet that the battering-ram of the Yankees will not be the chief goat of | be amended to pre the series, even if he is not the cham- pion hero, Ruth's hitting in the closing days of the season will be a most import- ant factor in getting him ready for the series. It will be remembered that Ruth came back home with the Yankees after their last western trip leading the league in batting and {m- Yankee Naval Pilots Who Won Honors Lieutenant David Rittenhouse (with hat on) and Lieutenant Rutledge Irvine, representatives for Uncle Sam's nayy who acquitted themselves with high honors in the recent Schneider Cup race which took placo at Cowes, Isle of Wight, England, Lieutenant Rittenhouse won the cup whon ‘avy racer crossed ‘the finish line, after completing the course course, averaging 177.38 miles Lieut.
