I think tho Giants should win, though I would jiot advise any of my friends to bet. too hcavilv on the opinion.

However, I firmly believe New York ehould win, and win easily, as did the Athletics last time these teams met in 1911. Connie Mack las the stronger club, perhaps, outside the pitchers. But tho craftv pilot of the White Ele- phants, will bo sorely put to it for reliable men. Ho has only two vet- erans, Bender and Plank, capable of shouldering tho burden, with any fair degree of success. These two may or may not be on edge at the present moment. It is a fact that Connio had to work them too much in his fight for the pennant. They have rested up well the past scvofal weeks, but can they como back anywhere near so strong as in 1911? Two Seasoned Pitchers. Certainly the two added years have not improved the cunning of Bender's good right arm or the trickery of Plank's port-sid- e sling. Jack Coombs, who figured so prominently against the Cubs in 1910 and against the Giants in 1911. has passed out so far as next week 's action is concerned.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
