r . ,; f'& W Wm fr k " ,j gNKffiOi S- i iiii Wriswl LAND AND MUGGSY ARE GREAT GENERALS, BUT Tt . . - --" Ti.&m iALL MANAGERS IMPORTANT, tfT THEIR WORK kTfEIR TEAMS TROT OUT ON FIELD erything Depends on "aiid They Should Receive Credit or Blame. Giants Here Today fifiSEBALL Is llko football In a certain is done by men on tho playing field sil seems strange- and unusual these "teelde stuff about to be pulled by McGraw or Rowland which will turn defeat Into, a glorious victory, but It can't bo otherwise, according to tho dope. If a ball club wins a game there always aro nlno reasons for the victory, and those . reasons conBls of tho players on tho winning sldo. Tho manager docs his work beforo the gamo and after that ho Is moro or less a spectator. True, ho may switch his men around and change pitchers when the going Is rough, but that lets him out. As soon as the men trot out on the field the manager's valuo ' to tho team drops to almost zero. Let's talk It over. ,, It Is a, well-known fact that a general's work is done the night beforo a - fefattle. Ho has laid out his plans, issued his instructions and tho only remaining .thing is for tho men to carry out the orders. A football coach docs the samo -. thing, and the baseball manager faces similar conditions. Ho tells his men what jib do and it is up to them to do it. The manuger can't go out on the field and v. play every position himself. For example, suppose on tho very first play, a ball , is knocked to Zimmerman and Heinle boots It. Who Is to blame? Surely not McOraw. Yet McGraw placed Zlm at third and expected him to get every thing: that camo his way. If an Inflclder makes a wild throw or an outfielder falls all over himself whllo chasing a fly ball, the blamo will rest on the shoulders ot tho men who make tho errors, not the boss of tho club. In 1912 New York had tho scries won from Hoston and Fred Snodgrnss muffed tho easiest kind of a fly ball, which gave the Red Sox the game. In tho same series Harry Hooper ,' made a sensational one-handed Jumping catch which robbed Larry Doylo of a homer and again caused the defeat of tho Qlants. Jake Stahl, who managed tho , Red Sox that year, did not go around with his chest sticking out, telling every -, one how ho won the world series. Nor did McGraw hang his head in shame ( because ho felt directly responsible for Snodgrass'u error. Both managers knew ' that tho men themselves were responsible und let it go at that. rpHEUB should bo no sensational inside baseball In this scries. Tho players will use the old cut-and-drled tactics which have stood tho 1 test of time, and one side knows the system as well as tho other. McGraw has built up tho most powerful team tho National League, has known since the cUys of the conquering Cuba. Rowland has got together a flock of sluggers that comparo favorably with tho Athletics in their ; prime. Both managers havo done their duty and may bo dismissed from further consideration so far as weighing tho Oodo is concerned. Giants Are Here Today for Four-Game Series With the Phils friHB National Lcaguo champions will bo with us today for a pair of double headers which will end tho season. Philadelphia fans will have an opportunity to gaze upon the team which made baseball history and compare it with the "White Sox, who played hero two weeks ago. As tho Phillies always put up a hard fight against New York, wo will have an excellent chance to see what the big-town boys can do under lire. Although tho games mean nothing at this stage so far as the official standing is concerned, McGraw always likes to wallop tho home folks and Pat. Moran delights in taking a fall out of the Giants. Two double-headers In as many days will be great stuff for the dopesters, and a largo crowd will be on hand. The Giants havo been on the road since September 13 and will not return to the Polo Grounds until the third game of the world scries, which Is scheduled for next Tuesday. They have been traveling constantly, and perhaps this will havo some effect on their pfay. At least, tho betting gentlemen believe so, as tho White ' Sox aro the 6-to-5 favorites to win the first gamo on the curb in New York. At that, McGraw is lucky to get In an extra day's rest before the series begins. His team was scheduled to play hero up to Thursday night, which meant that the vii;r players Wouldn't reach Chicago until Friday night. This worried the choniDlons. so President Baker, of tho Phils, was asked to shorten the berles one day. Mr. Baker gladly consented to do this and now tho club is expected to Icavo early Wednesday night. An effort will be made to play an exhibition game with the Cubs on Thurs day, but this is unlikely. Tho men probably will re'st a couple or days, or spend - some time In the White Sox park, which is something new to the majority. THE White Sox playing field may bother the Giants considerably on tho. first day and may have an important bearing on the series. The center-field wall is painted in various colors, and batsmen not accustomed to It aro likely to lose the ball before It reaches tho plate. A couplo of day a practice, however, may overcome this handicaps White Sox May Use but Two Pitchers in the Big Series CLARENCE ROWLAND recently issued a statement that his pitching staff consists of two'inen, and if Clarence Is not handing out the grand old bunk, it may mean that only a pair of pitchers will bo used by tho White Sox boss in his battle to place the skids under Jawn McGraw. But who Is this other person? It Is certain that Eddie Clcotte will hurl tho first (fame In Chicago Saturday, but there is nothing certain about who will pitch the second. If Eddie gets by in the opener, perhaps Red Faber, another right-hander and moist ball expert, will be used on Sunday. If, on the other hand, Clcotte is trimmed, then it Is safe to predict that Lefty Russell will take u chance in tho second battle. Then, taking Clarence at his word, it Is equally safe to say that Clcotte will work the third game in New York, and his successor on the mound for the fourth game will be the man who hurled the second game' In Chicago. This Is according to tho grandoldope, which Is working overtime these days. But there Is a swell chance for the dopo to slip up, as the man to pitch the second game may bo hammered all over tho lot and put out of business for the fourth content. In the case of, Clcotte, he is almost sure to pitch a good game and, even if he should lose, it is safo to say that ho will go back again. Incidentally, if Eddio In walloped in the first game, the Giants will have a decided edge on tho series and probably will be a 2-to-l shot to win. But it Is possiblo for the opening-day pitcher on both sides to como back in tho third game, as there will be Sunday npd Monday intervening between the first and third games. Sallce has a good chanco to start for tho Giants, for he looks like the best bet on un alien field. Also, the White Sox expect to have trouble with Sllm's delivery, so why not give them a chanco to worry? If Slim has a bad day, however, McGraw may switch to one of his right-handers in tho second. Pol Perrjtt and Benton look good und either may hae tho call. It is not believed , that Schupp will bo used until the club gets back to the Polo Grounds, where tho home crowd can root behind him. fTUIH White Sox wound up their season in New York yesterday and " '"- stopped off In Cleveland today to play an exhibition gamo with the Indian's. Tomorrow they will play another exhibition contest with the same club In Chicago, and Friday will be a day of rest. football Not Struggling for Life FDOTBALL this year is going to be a very live proposition, in spite of the fact that Harvard, Yale and Princeton have decided to leave the game flat on its back. 'Minus the big hooraw made every year over the games Indulged in by the historic triumvirate,' with Us angles resting at Princeton, New Haven and Cam bridge, the old 'game Is going right along, and It seems certain that the West is going to be the center of the thing.

MAXWELL nilLLinS HALL PARK, Oct, 2. It took an even dozen liming" for tho Giants to subdue the Phlghtliur Phils this afternoon In the opening net of tho double bill. The final count was G to 2. Everything was lovely until the fatal twelfth when Jawn Evers committed a bum heave which broke the deadlock and placed tho Champions In the lead. Dugey then slipped up on an easy play and a couple of hits pasted threo runs across tho pan. It was a tough game for Illxcy to lose. Tho Giants took the lead In the fourth, when Ilerzog singled and came home on Kauff's two-sackcr to right. In tho seventh, a pair of hits and a sacrifice fly scored Heinle the Zlm. Pol Perrltt pitched a masterful game for New York and had tho home folks at his mercy up to tho ninth. In that frame a double, a single and Fletcher's error netted two runs which tied the score Charles Lincoln Herzog, Invader captain and second baseman of tho New York Giants, returned to the fold today. Herzog looked better than at any other time this year and seemed anxious to get back Into the game. ' "The two weeks' rest has done me a, world of good," said Charley beforo tho battle "I stayed on the farm and Just loafed Baseball was failheet from my thoughts and I devoted all of my time to getting well. I believe I havo recovered, for 1 feel stronger, have gained In weight and feel like a youngster Just breaking Into the game. "I shall play my hardest In tho world's series and that's all I can say. I havo trouble with neither tho management nor tho nlavers of the New York club and I am glad to he back." The I'hlls presented a strango llnc-up In the opening fray.

Villanova Preparatory School will be the other half of the attraction to be staged on Norheast's athletic field, Twenty-ninth and Cambria streets. Saturday will mark the first appearance of Coach Snyder as Instructor of gridiron tactics at Northeast. The tutor of the Archive youngsters is not a novlco at the football game, having played for threo years on the eleven ot Urslnus College. After leaving UrslnUB he secured a position as athletic Instructor at. Slippery Rock Nor mal School, where lie toached the baseball, football and basketball teams. Last spring he had charge of Northeast's baseball nine, and when the supervising committee on athletics of tho Philadelphia High Schools passed the rule barring pro fessional instructors he offered his services as football.and baseball coach. He will as. Blst Doctor Guerne as basketball instructor. Only Ave men from last year's first squad were in the huge number of candidates who reported for the first football practice last month. But either this year's scrub tedm Is very weak or the uptown high school has one of the best football teams It has had In many moons. After having the backfleld candidates practice running back punts, the ends speeding down the field under kicks and the guards and tackles practice tack ling. Coach Snyder selected his first and second teams and lined them up for the first time this year, Tho Becond varsity eleven, composed of Parent, left end; Collins, left tackle; Brown, left guard; fillfer, center; Captain Salters, right 'guard; Wentzler, right tackle; McGargle, right end; Schneider, quarter back; Nelson, left halfback; Porth, right halfback, and Schofleld, fullback, was clven the ball on the first varsity's ten-yard line.

Tho.e were the days ot National League greatness. In tho five"Wld series played during that epoch the National League won four and lost but one Of the twenty seven world series games played tho Na tional League won eighteen and lost nine In 1910 tho big shift swept under way: 1910 wns the car Connie Mack finally launched his powerful machine. That year started the rise of the Ameri can League and tho fall of the National. Since 1910 seven world series have been played. Of these reen tho American League has won six. and lot but one. Of the thirty-seven championship games played the American League has won twenty-four and lost thirteen. Note the shift. For the first fie years the National Leoguc had a world series pere'entage of .800, tho American League 200. For the last seen jcars the National Leaguo has had a mark of .143, the Ameri can League 857. American League on Top Tho American League has beyond any doubt had superior strength in tho last $een years ' It has not only won most of the world series games, but has had most ot the game's stars In Cobb, Speaker, Slsler, Col lins, Pchalk. Chapman, etc. But for 1917 tho National League has sent forwaid tho most powerful entry it lias known for many years The Giants are far stronger than the winning Olnnts of 1911. 1912 and 1913 They aro far better balanced than tho Phil lies of 1915 or tho Dodgers of 1910. It Is the first tlmo In even years that a majority of tho critics have given the Nntlonal League an even chance to win. McGraw has been aiming at thii series for a long time In building and buying his present machine he had something more in sight than a National League pennant He also had In Iew a victorious world series after his three successive setbacks up through 1913. It has taken him four years to rearrange his present outlay. Yet the White Sox barrier is no light one This club Is the first American League machine in some years to win a pennant by a decisive margin. As fctrong as the Red Sox were, they won by only three games In 1915 and by only two games a year ago. The WHte Sox have been eight or ten games ou: "u front for the greater part of a month. They have gone to battle with a strong defense nnd a robust attack and have dis played unusual gameness on more than one occasion where they were collared and yanked back from the top. The White Sox are not likely to have the defensive steadiness shown by the Red Sox In 1915 and 1916. But neither are the Giants. The Red Sox were a pecullirly effective world scries club. One More Trial With the Giants, an aggressive, confident, hard-charging outfit, to carry on the ban ner, the National League has Its best chance In some tlmo to cmergo from the rut. But even with ns strong a club as ii, Giants now have the National Leaguo has no advantage to speak of For the American League has developed the habit of victory It has gathered a big Impetus the last few years, and this im petus will help. And In the Chicago club the American Leaguo has a worthy representative. The White Sox have both speed and power. They can lilt, they havo good pitching, and, as most of them are veterans, they are not likely to blow. The Long Count Taking in tho full count, the two leagues have been well matched. Of the twcUe world's series tho American Leaguo lias won seven to the National's five. Of the sixty-four ball games fought to a decision the American League has won thirty-three and the National thirty-one Tho record couldn't run any closer with out being a draw But tho fan public remembers only tho later years. It remembers only that the National League has won but one series since 1909, nnd.1909 In a baseball way was another era. If the Giants are beaten It will be taken pretty well for granted that the. National League hasn't the stuff with which to stop its younger rival. For the Giants look to bo one of the best balanced and one of the strongest teams the older circuit has ever sent to war.
