The Giants are a smart bunch of players and are fast on th bases.” “Babe’’ Ruth may prove a stumbling block for the National league club, however, in Evers’ opinion. “McGraw pitchers will have to watch their step when it comes to Ruth,” he said. “The big fellow is apt to break up a game any time he comes to bat. Outside of Ruth, though, I think the Giants have the edge on the Yanks in batting. The scries should go seven or eight guame:.

What fighting there was Coogan did and for that reason he was entitled to he verdict Welling butted Coogan on numerous occasions. PYRAMIDS WANT GAMES. The Pyramids football eleven woul> like to arrange games with any 130- pound team in the state. The man- agement .is particularly anxious to play out-of-town games. Communi- cations should be sent to R. Mount, 63 Hart street. NUTMEGS DECRY LACK OF SUPPORT Managers Scott and Dunn Offer Reasonable Plea to Fans That the local football public is not supporting the Nutmegs football team in a manner it deserves, is the claim of the management in a communica- tion to_the sporting editor of the Herald. Tt is pointed out that although there has been large crowds in attend- ance at the three games at home this season, only one-fourth of those have contributed at the game. The manage- ment also points out that any man Who does not show up for practice on two nights a week is not allowed to play, thus accounting for the changed lineup last Sunday. Should present conditions continue, the communication states the team will be forced to play out-of-town games for the reaminder of the season. It is theerfore hoped that the public will rally to the support of the team in the future, and it is believed that the management will continue to try to give New Britain fans the best ok- tainable in football. The communication follows: The Nutmeg football team is one of three in the state who pay their piay- ers after each game, instead of divi ing a split at the end of the season, and in order to bring prominent col- lege stars such as Neville, Parsons, Garnikow, Buckney, Galvin and Tracy here to play each week, the manage- ment has had to spend a great deal of money. To all appearances the at- tendance at the games which the Nut- megs. have plaved so far, has been very large, but when only out-fourth of those present have contributed, the receipts have not been enough to cover expenses. We know that the number of stars that we have had in our lineup has been the big drawing card at Vibberts' field, but if the sup- port of the fans who have enjoyed their playing, is lacking, we will not be able to continue here in New Brit- ain. The Nutmeg team has gained the reputation throughout the state of be- ing one of the best, and for that rea- son is in great demand both in Con- necticut and in Massachusetts. We have had a topnotch team for sixteen successive seasons, and we have al- ways felt that we had the support of the fans in New Britain. This year, however that same support is lacking, and. in view of the circumstances, we are forced to state that if it continues to be so, the Nutmeg team will finish the season with out-of-town games. We have often been criticized for advertising players who have not ap- peared in our lineup, but thus far we have had &7 n ivertised. ‘We have made a ruling that any man not appearing for practice on two stipulated’ night of the week, will not be allowed to play and that is the reason for our changed lineup last Sunday. However, if the fans of New Britain will give us their whole-hearted finan- cial support, we will bring the best teams in New England here to play, and with the strong lineup that we will have, we guarantee the highest grade of football ever seen here. We thank you for the wonderful support which you have given us, and hope that the football fans of New Britain will give us the same. Yours for fair play, JAMES SCOTT and JAMES DUNN TO ATEND -OPENING GAME. R. W. Poteet, traffic manager at the Stanley Works: Dr. Henry T. Bray, Dr. M. W. Kinsella andgack Lash will he among those from New Britain at the opening game.of the world's series bctween the Yankees and Giants at the Polo Grounds tomorrow.
