Says He Has Pitchers With More Nerve and Ruth By Bozeman Bulger. Is in Condition. If the World's Series was new to New York the home folks might get ‘excited. But they are not. Manhattan is not beside itself this morning. Unlike the fellow who can't sandle his liquor, New York can chamber its World's Series. "There is no big surge, no riots for a lone policeman to stop with the wave of a nightstick. In the small bets made in the line the Yanks ruled favorite at odds any- where from 6 to 6 to 8 to 6. Old baseball people say no such odds are ex- cusable in baseball. But the weight of the money—the law of supply and demand—tixed the odds that way. Most of them ‘wanted to bet on the Yanks. P Downtown, Managers MoGraw and Huggins, flanked by their corps of scouts and friendly experts, were making their pitching selections, “It Neht gets by and wins his game," sald McGraw last night, ‘that will ‘ven up the pitching business." Neht is a left hander, and the weakness of the Yanks against southpaws ts well known, 5 “Still,” said Bobby Gilks, the veteran of the Huggins staff of scouts, “Babe\Ruth got a big share of his homers against left handers.

This applies par ticularly to the left side of the dia see against the Giants. We are not underestimating the Giants, We haven't forgotten the play Johnny Rawlings pulled against us last year and Johnny was a bench warmer, Such things happen in baseball. A player sitting on the bench when the game starts may become the big hero. We're going to bear down, play owr hardest and show them some real pitching.
