J? mm, iwset K only natural that many critics should hold that tho Phillies
W b M41y outclassed In this department In tho world's series.. But there Is
Sao sntn4 reaaea tor this conclusion.
Ths Red trio of Speaker, Lewis and Hooper may look more like can
pUjra and May fcavo a, wonderful knack of exciting commont with their un
usl throwing;, but. all things considered. It Is an over-rated combination.
ft every series) played between the Red Sox and Tigers this season, the
Be atflel haa suffered la comparison with the Dotrolt trio of Cobb,
Crawford and Ve&ch, and It would be no great surprise to those who have
Mtowed tho two combinations closely If Cravath. Paskert and Whltted com
pteMy outplayed the Red Box outer gardeners.
; . .
Reel Box Outfield Has Slowed Up in Laat Year
rtgnres tow that tho Red Sox trio have not only slowed up in all de
.Murtateata durlac tho last year, but that they also have failed to perform as
Meet& against tho best pitchers In the American League. Tho.Boston oilt
fUMers have Increased their batting averages at tho expense of the Athletics
V&r pitching, and a few others of like calibre.
A Against the pick of the American League, the Rod Sox outfield have proved
ifritJlr'-l'r weak. la this respect the Phillies stand out far above Carrlgan's men.
JBatttaff a'gfttast Johnson and Gallia, of Washington; Caldwell and Fisher, of
;ih Ulghlasderai Faber and Scott, of the White Sox; Dauss, of Detroit, and
.Morton, of Cleveland, and Wcllman and Hamilton, of tho Browns, the combined
Jtoctea outfleldto batting average la .228, a miserable showing compared to that
'.c the Phillies against the ten best twlrlers In the National League.
FMJj-Oater Works Ilavo nit .338 Against tho Dost
Bttttteffmgfttast Rudolph and Tyler, of tho Braves; Pfeffer and Smith, of the
DoSSers; Voney and Dale, of tho RedB; Meadows and Doak, of the Cardinals;
'MaauMX, of Pittsburgh, and Tesreau, of tho Giants, tho Philly outfield trio
haa made the unusual combined average of .386. There is but one oonoluslon
Ifcat can ba reached, and that la that tho Philly outfielders have proved gamer
and better batamen In the pinches.
In selootlng the ten Amerioan and tea National League pitchers used In
tfce comparison, the aim was to select tho beat men of each particular delivery.
The Red Sox batted against Faber, Gallia and Caldwell, who all use the splt-
vball more or less, but none of whom has as much on this delivery as Tesreau,
Doak, and Pfeffer. Johnson 1b tho speed-ball king of the Amorlcan Leaguers,
with Morton not far behind; Scott, Dauss and Fisher are fine curve-ball
pitchers, while Wellman and Hamilton, the southpaws, are exactly the oppoalte
types, the former being a fast-ball pltoher, while tho latter Is a slow-ball artist.
Cravath, Whltted" and Paakcrt Meet AH Comers
The National League pitchers who have been batted hard by the Fhlllios
are of every typo and description, and tho men who have been most ef
fective against the National League champions have been selected In preference
to a few others who are rated higher, but who have been unablo to beat the
Phillies.
For Instance, during the greater part of the season, Vaughn and Bailee
have been generally considered more effective than Smith and Tyler, but as
neither of these pitchers was able to last nine Innings against the Phillies,
they have not been lnoluded. It might also bo well to mention that Cravath,
Whltted and Paskert have compiled averages of close to .600 against southpaw
pitching, while but two left-handers have been considered strong enough to
be sent against the Phils In their regular order.
Marquard won one game and tied one against the champions; Konthlener
defeated the Phils once, while Smith and Tyler boast of two victories each.
They are the only southpaws in tho leaguo who have been able to trouble the
Phillies -to any great extent Vaughn started three games, but got no further
than the fourth Inning In one game. Other southpaws received similar treat
ment, and In almost every Instance It was tho slugging of tho Philly outfield
that caused tho retirement of tho southpaw.
-
Carrigan May Depend Largely on Southpaws
It Is generally believed that Manager Carrigan, of the Red Sox, must do-
pepd largely upon, southpaws to beat the 'Phillies, as his two twlrlers with
the greatest amount of natural ability axe Leonard and Ruth, portslders. If
jsych Is the case, the Philly outfielders will show up even better In tho base
'ball classic, as they have had a wonderful habit throughout the season of
hewing up' at their best In each critical series.
And It must also be remembered that none of the American- League
pitchers used In the Illustration Is an Alexander barring Walter Johnson, pjjd
the combined average of the Red Sox trio In six games against Johnson was
just a trifle abovo .100. t
Harry Hooper, who has been placed on a par with CravMth by several critics,
had a combined average of .163 for the season against the leading American
League pitchers, while Duffy Lewis' mark is .235. Speaker, the star of the trio,
could hit only .236, against .339 compiled by Paskert, .387 for Whltted and .333
for Cravath, against pitching of a similar character.
Temperament of Flayers Favors Phillies
The disposition, or temperament, of the men also must be considered In
comparison for a series of this sort Tho Phillies have an edge on the Red
Sox In this respect at least Cravath and Whltted are players who are sure
to shine In the big show. The latter has always been a wonderful money
player, being very much on the order of Barry In this respect while Cravath's
easy-going disposition and nerve will allow him to go on la his steady, but' bril
liant manner.
Paskert's success In the series Is largely a matter of doubt, as his dlsposl
len Is one that will not stand for a bad break of luck. But give Paskert a
good start la the first game and the fans are likely to be treated to a wonder
ful exhibition pf outfield playing.
Paskert May Yet Show His Critics a Thing or Two
Scribes throughout the country have been raving over Speaker's fielding,
aad be is really a marvel; but the same scribes and fans have not seen much of
Paskert la a large field. There are few outfielders In the game who compare
with Paskert as a fielder, and local fans cannot appreciate what a remarkable
fielder Paskert Is, as he Is hampered by the short field here. Placed In a
large territory, Paskert will not be outclassed by any fielder la the game, while
Speaker-is likely to find himself handicapped in the small local grounds.
Lewis Batted .160 Against Alexander
Last winter Duffy Lewis faced Alexander in about 16 games on the tour
, ef the All-Americans and All-Nationals to Honolulu, and his batting average
' was far below .100. The effect of that trip will be felt in Lewis' work during
the series, and it is safe to say that the stories he told of the Nebraskan's
vesderful pitching will also be felt
Speaker Cannot Carry- Whole Outfield
Speaker is expected to star, and is not likely to disappoint these expec
tations. But if he has no more success against Alexander and Chalmers than
the great left-handed batsmen of the National League have had, the edge that
the dopesters are .giving to the Boston outfield over the Philly combination is
likely to vanish. Speaker 'cannot carry the entire outfield, and results prove
that neJHwrHeoper dor Lewlk deserves to be rated above Cravath and Whltted.
Everything Is up to difference in form shown by Paskert and Speaker, and a
iHwea that Paskert Is going to bo a pleasant surprise would not be far from
HBt
Base Running Will Not Figure Prominently
There far UtUo use in mentioning the base running of any of Jbo men, as
sea ef them is really a high-class base runner. Neither team resorts to the
style e ptay that makes base running, except for intelligence, imperative.
Speaker was a great base runner a few years ago, but he is not as fait as
he tts4 t be.
Aetir,roa why speed on the bases is all a matter of doubt is that they
have bee playiac aeint different catching and pitching, and there is no way
ie ptswe en faster than another. It is also necessary to get g$ base and to
- be on even terms or ahead for any tmjra to Tun wild on the bases. Hitting of
the oufelses is a Meet hwpsrUnt racier, and ee la which, the Phillies shine
briUMuitljr.

In the forthcoming- world series round

base running- amuty or i-nuuea'ana ea
6ox, these comparisons to be lifted from
the records of the two clubs.
O Dope, where Is thy fllngj as the say
ing has It.
Last fall the Maokmen were to run
rings around the Braves along- the old
towpath. The records showed they had
stolen 229 bases to 1S9 for the Braves.
They had a margin of nearly 100 steals.
They had Collins and (Barry, Oldrlng- and
Strunk, Eddie Murphy and Mclnnls, most
of them fast sprinters who knew the way
around.
Boston had but one base runner who
had stolen more than 15 bases Walter
Maranvllle, with 28.
Tet through the whirl of tho four-game
world series Boston stole nine bases to
Philadelphia's two better than four to
one.
The records and the Dope proved one

This season the Xled Sox are battlnc"

player among the pennant-winning Phll-
nea, win report tne world, a series xor tne
EvBNitro Ledger.
Bit up, fans, and take notice! Tou will
get the real Inside etutf, for Ludy knows.
He Is the captain of the team, directs the
Phillies In action. There Is nobody In
better position to tell Just what happens,
and take It as a straight Up, something
will happen when these scrappy Phils
clash with the rosy-hued Box of Bean
town. "Ludy" will tell the. BvxtfWO) IiZdobk
readers Just how he does , things and bow
he makes his players do thlngs"bn-thsa
ball field, and If the spirit of Dpde Fas-"
kert and George Whltted and about U
others means anything, those Phils are
going to do something.
Each day Luderus 'will write, a com
plete review of the game as he sees it
from his post at first base, the most ad
vantageous on the field, andTfrom ths
bench. He will have something to say
that no other wtU know about.
Captain Fred Luderus, of the pennant
winning Phillies, will write world's series
dope for the Eveotno Ledoeb. Luderus
will cover the series In a manner, that
will please the fans. .Being- captain of
the team, he will be In a better position
than any one else, save Pat Moran. to
tell tho Eventno) Ledoib readers Just
how the baseball dusk) Is won or lost
by the Phils.
In an interview with the Evtnino
LEDOEn, Luderus today declared that he
fclt sure the Phillies would defeat the
Red Sox In the big series. In his first
article Luderus will tell Just why he looks
for a victory.
PENN TO MEET TIGERS
IN CROSS-COUNTRY RUN
When Luderus was appointed captain
of the Phillies this spring there was
much sarcastic comment penned by
scribes of other cities, who had come to
look upon him as a slow thinker be
cause he could not talk quite so fast or
loud as some of the veterans who were
with the team at that time. But he has
proved himself one of the best leaders
in years.
Luderus Is a quiet, unassuming chap,
and aside from Moran, who has been his
roommate and bosom friend, not even
the other members of the team suspected
that the big slugger would make such a
capable leader. "Ludy" was always pop
ular with his teammates and when ap
pointed .captain he started early In the
pring to prove to mem mat ne was Dy
far a more brilliant Inside player than
he had ever been credited with being.
From a quiet, unassuming player, who
had really been "ridden" until his spirit
and enthusiasm were on the wane, Lu
derus became an aggressive, inspiring
leader
Aside from his slugging -ability, Luderus
Is a great ball player. He is by far a
better fielding first baseman than he has
been credited with, as every inflelder on
the Philly team will testify. There are
many more graceful first basemen In the
National League than Luderus, but there
Is none, not even Daubert, who Is as sure
on a throw.
Schmidt, of ths Braves, made wonder
ful record in 1914 for handling thrown
balls, but this season Luderus has sur
passed the Boston first baseman.
.Luderus will, as captain of the team
and Moran's first lieutenant, be in an
excellent position to write the inside dope
on the series. Watch for these articles.
