I like the Giants as a smooth ma
chine, not as a powerful one. They
are not as likely to come up any old
inning andknock that ball game into
1,400 scattered pieces. In a series of
this sort their pitching has got to be
almost unbeatable "to give them a
chance, and then, again, they must
snpport the pitching.
Another important point is that the
present New York team has LOST
two world's series one to the Ath
letics and one to the Red Sox while
,the present Philadelphia team has
WON two one from the Cubs and
one from the Giants.
The present Athletics have never
lost a world series, and have won
two. The present Giants have never.
won a world's series and have lost
two. Just as a matter of psychology,
I know the club that is going into
this series with the greatest confi
dence, and it isn'Jt the club that has
yet to win.
I know McGraw. will drive his club
at top speed, and I know they will
go their best but I can't "see" a
club that isn't very strong at bat
against one that can tear down the
fences. My eyesight isn't that good:
