BOTH TEAMS KEYED UP

McGraw Probably Has Better Pitchers, but Hitting Hon-or-s Are With Mack.

By W. J. MACBETH. NEW YORK, Oct. 4v The world's aeries is with ub once again. On Tues- day the Giants and .Athletics hook up in the first scrap of the annual dia- 1 ' " mond classic Both are worthy of the great honor and capable of Riving a rery good account irrespective of vic- r tory. As the popular pastimo on the eve of such an event is to prophecy tho AMD tWBN viHtN , SLPrfA (" AKt) TH6N 1 SHOOT lY - " WL'1 I an oar V v.cLP" result, the writer will stick in f " while the going is good. I think tho Giants should win, though I would jiot advise any of my friends to bet. too hcavilv on the opinion. Closest ob- dis- ' : ; servation of the prospective rivals : --- : ' about k. u closes the fact that they are just - as evenly matched as any pair that jr- Ad ""Bi over grappled for tho highest honors of the pastimo. 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. Mack is in identically the same fix as was Mc-Gra- whon'thcy mot before. He has 2-4-1B 10-- 3S 31- -27 18- -23 1-- 5 1524 25 IS 5--14 8 S only two seasoned pitchers.
