Contenders in Big Series
Evenly Matched, Says Cobb
(Continued From Page Fifteen)
the averages which T have before me
When you can count on five players
batting .300, you have an asset on the
offense that has got to be reckoned
with.
New York has only one man hitting
over the .300 mark. Meyers, the
catcher. Fletcher, though, can practi
cally be called a .300 batsman. Tt looks
to me as if this last mentioned player
has corrected a batting fault, and l sus
pect he will be a much feared man
when at the plate in the big games.
Now the Giants, with only two men
around thff .300 division, appear very
weak on the attack. If their pitcher’s
should happen trt fall down and not
deliver a* they did during the season,
of if that season’s stride would not be
gotSd enough to withstand the five or
six .300 hitters of tile Philadelphians,
them the Athletics would have an easy
time slugging their way to the world’s
championship. It is Just such points
that make Important series interesting
and baffle the man who tries to select
the winner.
it Is not hard to see that the Mack
pitchers, weak as they have appeared
at times, may have an easier time
holding the weak appearing hitters of
the Giants than the New York crack
flingers will have against the slugging
Mackij>en.
Giants Score Few Runs
During the last two or three weeks
Mathewson, Marquard and Tesreau
have lost games because the Giants
eotild not score for them. One or two
runs In a number of instances was the
margin which gave opponents of Mc
Graw’s club the victory. The pitchers
have held the opposition, down all that
could be expected, but the New York
ers could not register at the plate.
New York has shown more even
strength than the Athletics in the trend
of the race. The Giants, until Sep
ebr 21. had lost as few as four games
to one team and as many as eight to
another, their average against each

POST WHEELER TO RETURN.
VOCT vnilJLiXE.
l'oet Wheeler, sporetniw of the Aiueri
cau Embassy at Rome, ts returning ti
Washington to make an explanation of
hurges which have been preferred
igalnflt him by nn American whose
uauie has been withheld.
Details of the charges also have been
;ept secret, although one allegation Is
said to relate to the alleged evasion of
the duty on gasolene Imported Into Italy
for his automobile.
team being very strong. They have won
as few as ten games from one of their
rivals and as many as 16. This makes
a very strong showing and shows con
clusively that New York has been play
ing ball every day the whole year and
that weakness hasn’t cropped up for
any length of time for this season of
1913.
On the other hand, the Athletics have
trounced New York 16 times and their
lowest average was against Boston,
having beaten them only 10 times up
to last Wednesday. Chicago, a fifth
place club, triumphed over the Athlet
ics on 11 occasions and the margin of
losses by the Athletics was wldu as the
minimum and maximum is 'three and 11,
showing quite a range of form.
The Athletics have one great f iling in
their favor and that is that they can
put seven men who have played regu
larly and can be termed regular play
ers, including the pitcher and catcher,
that bat right handed against any left
handed pitcher that New York puts in.
The two left-handed hitters are Baker
and Collins and neither is weak against
off-side pitching.
On the other hpnd. \yben a right
hander faces the Athletics they can
send in seven left-handed batsmen hav
ing only Barry and Mclnnl^ hitting
from the right side of the plate. By
this plan Manager Mack will not de
tract from the strength of his team to
a fielder in right as the left-handed
Danny Murphy may not be quite as fast
a fielder in rights as the left-handed
hitter, Fiddle Murphy, and Daley may
not be as good a batsman es Old
rintr.
Clubs Appear Well Matched
Summing it all up, I want to reiter
ate the statement that the contending
clubs appear well matched. I believe,
though that if the Giants win the first
game, they will win the series much
easier than will the Athletics if they
capture the opening engagement.
I believe that Marquard and Demaree
will be the most effective pitchers in
the series. Of course, Mathcwsou has
always given the lie To those who pre
dicted his downfall and I will not pre
dict^it in this series. But I believe the
style of Mayquard and Demaree will be
the more successful that Matty’s. Tes
reau is liable to run into trouble
against the* Athletics.
This whole series will not be a ques
tion of base running and tactics so
much, excepting, of course the selection
of pitchers. It will be just a case of
pitching a.nd batting. If the Mack
twirlers can hold New York down just
fairly well I believe the Athletics’ bats
men will bang#out enough runs to win
for them. Qn the other hand, if the
Giants show'a reversal of batting form
and their pitchers hold the Mackfnen
down at all, New York will win easily.
Scientific tactics will not have much
to do with this series, but the game will
be competently handled and there will
not be as many mistakes as in the se
ries of 1912, when in every game mis
takes which were vital to the best in
terests of the teams were made.
The batting and fielding records of
each club show very interesting figures
and these give the Athletics the ad
vantage over the Giants. The Athletics
in the averages published last Sunday
had accepted a total of 5669 chances
with <?nly 197 errors, the Giants having
accepted 5768 chances with a total of-j
224 errors. This gives the Athletics a
comfortable margin.
As mentioned before, the Athletics
lead the Giants in batting. In (his re
spect, as in fielding, the Athletics led
their league, while the Giants were
third in batting and fifth in Cieldlng.
In long hits by clubs the Athletics lead
their league with an average of .397.
The Giants rank fifth in their league
with .356. The Giants do not lead in
any one departmea^of team averages,
while the Athletics lead the American
league In every department.
On the other hand, the pltcheis of
the Giants collectively are far and away
ahead of the Athletic pitchers.
New York Has Good Reserves
The Giants are better fortified with
utility players, having Herzog, Grant
and McCormick, the latter the depend
able pinch hitter. The only Infield re
serves the Athletics have are Lrftvan
and Orr. Neither can hit very well.
One thing In the Athletics’ favor is
that they flinched the pennant two
weeks before the time for the series to
be.lln and will be able to work and
study In order to prepare for the big
battles. I thought they showed de
cided Improvement In the last few
games against our clubs and they have
the men who should brace and get the
machine running sgioothly. However,
as I have skid. I think that pitching
and batting will decide the Issue—that
Is, the club which combines those two
qualities best will win and IherO will
be no other factors In the conflict
worth mentioning.
It is Impossible to say at this timo
who will be the actual winner of the
1913 world's series and I wouldn't feel
like hazarding a guess for the Athletics
and Giants arg about equally strong.
Therefore I have not picked the winner
exactly, but I have tried to show how
the series hinges upon several tilings
and the team which best follows out
that campaign will be returned the
victor.
Huge Prairie Dog Town
A prairie dog* settlement In Colorado Is
estimated to contain 300,000,000 Inhabitants.
Were the snakes, owls, rabbits, lizards
and horned toads which live with the
dogs to be counted In the population
of the place would reach the 1,000,000,000
.mark.
The figures are not strictly accurate,
for the government has nevfer counted
these dogs In the census But any one
who has seen such a city knows there-are
more than 10O dogs to the acre, and this
city is 140 miles long by 50 miles wide,
containing 4,480,000 acres, says Our pumb

They dig deep burrows with so many
chambers that the railroad which is be
