Notwithstanding the apparent supe- riority in numbers and vetstan mate- rial of the Red Sox, the playing aver- ages of the two squads fail to show any great advantage one way or the other. The seven Boston inflelders have a combined batting average of -258 against the Phillles’ .254, while the fielding averages are even closer, the figures being Philadelphia .955, —|Boston .953. ‘When the eight players 83712 3| yho will probably form the two in- fields in the opening game are com- pared, the difference in the averages is greater,but the advantage about equal- ly divided.

Bancroft has played in al- most all the games of the season and his averages are: 245, flelding .921. Scott in less than 100 games has batted .194 and flelded .963. In base- stealing and sacrifice hitting Ban- croft's record shows to advantage over considered of the season’s averages that both the inflelds from other angles than were batting and flelding records alone, expressed or proved by figures. The complete records of the inflelders of in | both clubs, taken from the latest un- official averages, are attached, how- h at bat and ! monds. Hence, all the weird dreams may make interesting reading. but théy prove not a =ingle substantial satis- factory thing. In the world's battles waged since 1910 the world’s championships were won on four primary bases. They fol- low in order of importance: Pitching and hitting. Luck and the breaks of the game. Confidence and fighting ability. - Condition. Pitching and hitting in each of these series were at least 30 per cent. of the value to the winner. They were the ig asset. Of course. these terms are corelative. If you have splendid pitch. ing, the other fellows have poor hit- ing, the other fellows have poor hitting. If you have good hitting the other fei- lows.are getting poor pitching: In the coming jousts there seems to be an unanimity of opinion. that Grover Cleveland Alexander is a great pitch- ing staff. He should be ready to work three games, and the Philly rooters belleve these as good as won. This leaves the rest of the pitching staff to come through with the additional victory that wins the big blue ribbon. Now Alexander, the greatzst pitcher in the game, cannot expect to win un- less you get him a run. Three runs to an Alexander game ought to mean victory, but one run must be obtained anyway, or the best pitched game in the world goes for naught.. Aleck will Il his part of the programme. but it is up to the team to get him the runs. Another thing. The finest twirled con- test in the history of baseball won't win if somebody pulls boots at the right time and thro the hurler's efforts into the A The second thinz of relative im- nortance in the October jousts is the luck and breaks of the game. In the 1910 and subsequent series these play- ed an important part in prolonging the agony of the team that finally succu: The: Boston %Braves achie undylng success for estab- lishing. a precedent in winning the Serfes in four straight games. But every_ winner for years prior to that time would have won ‘in similar fashion were it not for one little break that upset the dope. Fighting abllity. of course,-is an as- |set. But you can take it straight, that any teams that win a pennant have fighting spirit. There are many kinds of battling spirit. There is the quiet kind that wins without jungs, and there is the vociferous brand that wins 1 4 [choice of Manager Moran, since his|yith the throat. The Mackmen were the former brand: the Boston Braves the latter. In a short series, however, the fighting spirit is a great asset. If a team wins the first game its spirit is bettered a hundredfold. It goes into the games that follow with greater confidence and more faith. However, the team that can come from behind and win has fighting spirit that feeds on a determination to be victorious no matter what the issue. It is strange, but true, that the Athletics in 1911 were the only team in a world's series since 1303 that ever ® o4 |the Philadelphia player, has a much |won the big banner after losing the first game. This is one of the reasons why managers pin their hopes on get- ting the first one across. Condition, of course, is a big factor.
