fsy SPORTS. HAVE BIG EDGE ON SLAB, || AND MOUND WORK TELLS Sixty Per Cent of Battle During Regular Season and Counts for More in Short Series—Breaks of Game May Cause Upset. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. EW YORK, October 4—Making due allowance for past perferm- ance, present form, physical condition and other factors carefully weighed and balanced by those whose business it is to keep the public informed of what may be expected in any line of competitive en- deavor, only one logical conclusion may be reached in regard to the blue ribbon feature of all sporting events which got under way today at the Polo Grounds—the Yankees should win in a romp. This is the only opinion tenable aiter scrutinizing the comparative strength in the box of the rival combinations for base ball's highest honors, for pitching truly is rated as at least 6) per cent of any diamond battle—even higher in a world series—and it is an indisputable fact that in hurling strength the Hugmen so far overshadow the Giants that no real basis for comparison exists.

FOSTER. HE idea of the world series, as it is played now, grew out of the op- position of the man who drew up and wrote the rules for the play- ing of the title games. In 1904 the New York Nationals and the Boston Americans won the pennants. The Boston club wanted to play! with New York in a post-season series. John T. Brush, owner of the New | York Nationals, was not desirous of playing, as there was a great deal | of personal resentment hovering over base ball as the result of the Ameri- | can League’s entry into New York city. The Giants had won their first championship since 1889, and the owner of the club figured that it would jeopardize his team’s good work to ide show” to championship races. The players of the New York team voted against playing Boston, but that was casy enough to bring about. There were reasons. Were Opposed to Brush. Certain owners of National League clubs who disliked Brush, were seized with a_ fit of virtuous indignation be- cause the Giants refused to play. al- though not more ‘than one of tbem would have gonme into such a series if his team had won the pennant. ‘That one also_had_a feeling of resentment against New York because of disagree- ments on league policy. } Word was heard some time later that the clubs of the National League which were opposed to New York would bring about u votc at the next annual mect- ing in favor of a posi-season se | variou the sentiment of the clubs was ascertained. and it was found that one club. which was friendly to New York in most things, would favor the series because its owner hoped to be ahle to win the next pennant and want- | ed a chance at the possible cash. That | club’s vote would carry the world series through. | Reasoning that the series would prob- ably be undertaken. Brush said: “If | we've got to play this thing we'li pl it the way I wish to.” So he drafted | the rules, and sprung his plan on the National League, and with his usual diplomacy put the organization in such | an attitude that it could not very well turn him down, especially as he would | be sure to have a strong club the next | vear. i Plays Joke on Owners. “But I'm going to fool them.” said | the New York owner. “I'm going to| arrange this thing so that the play- | ers and not the owners will get the money. We'll have a world series worth while. 1 don't belicve that the public will patranize it over well as its reason is too palpable and we'll! reward for winning the pennant. We've got to have some reason for such a series and that's the best I can think of.” This plan went through and the Brush rules with some amendments have governed the series to this day. The New York owner figured that the winning players might get $1.000 each for winning the series and he thought that a fing reward. So dil everybody else in those days. In round numbers the New York plavers who won in 1905 received about $20.- 500. That was not as much as $1,000 each. Hardly had the series been plaved when it was found that some players were so shy of sportsmanship about the games that a numbef of the Giants and an equal number of the Athletics had agreed before a game was played to pool their shares, win or loose, and divide on a pro rata basls. In_connection with that it may also be added that som@ of the New York players ran out on their agreement after they had won. Decries Players’ Action. When the news of the pool reached the ears of Brush he expressed his: disgust in no gentle terms. “T wish.” said he, “that the whole damnable thing was buried at the bottom of the Harlem river. ' I'll make a motion at the next meeting of the National League to abolish it and if the Giants win in 1906 we won't play it whether ! they abolish it or not.” He had that purpose in mind almost to the' day of the beginning of the league meeting, but other matters came up that demanded copsideration and finally he decided to let the world | series venture be tried another year.' _ *FOR WINDSHIELDS OR BODIES, Installed While You Wait.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, October 4—"How zbout Babe Ruth N That was the one question most on the lips of the base ball students, as Giants and Yanks, for the second time in two suc- ceeding years, started their fight for the championship. Not only the Yank rooters but Giant strategists also were asking it. And the latter, it will be shown beyond a doubt throughout this series, will pay more attention to this one problem than to any other single one that conironts them, for it is now axiomatic to say “as gocs Babe Ruth, so go the Yanks. _— — Vlll\\il |H‘-S K in much better GIANTS DESERVED NAME |fore the'orias it 1 s J5ie e 4 an the serie no1y i x and he WHEN GIVEN BY MUTRIE |kt it sore i s wa o it With his “Giznts in action as well ax in i Hl‘fl“"m"» stature” mased old JEm Mutrie | N6 IS nolwoatitter under five or any one day move than n quarter cen- 11133 s 1o velt n tury ago ax he sat observing the In I New York team, then an aggreza- tion of wsix-footers, strid tory an easily ax a fairy ved much better prior to the 21 than he played tween his swol- rs and the fact that ne after a good of nerve d thing for a man cd of a liberal fund to vie hook man wearing seven-league boots would win a Marathon rac ¥ ©r since they have been the rofessionally, competi- nd financially.
