POSTPONED GAMES
HELPS BOTH TEAMS
Chance to Rest Up for Giants, With P. ssibility
of Mathewson "Coming: Back"?Athletics'
Players in Good Shape and Feeling Fit
for h uture b'ights.
UY "TV" COHU.
(Copyright, 1511, the Press Company.)
Philadelphia. 1'a.. October 1?.?This
world's series of 1911 is seeing more
ralu and postponed games than any In
the post, und if there should be uny
chanco of euch a thing happening as
the New York Giants winning, Mc
Gruw's men will have the downpour
and postponements to thank?of course,
that, is, if they sui-uld happen to win.
The postponements give the Giants a
bulge, but not uver the Athletics. The
most important asset to . McGraw is
the rest Mathowson is getting, lie may
be in shupe to 1 come buck, ' and lue
Glanis will not have to put in two
Other iwlrlers less satisfactory tiiun
"Matty." The le*s experienced men
woulo. have pitched to-uuy and to-mor?
row, und tho Athletics would probably
feat e won the world's series. This
rain has given them a chance to rest
up. Another and very Important ad?
vantage gulncd Is that while the
Giants were inactive, they have had
time to think over their defeats, and
probably see many mistakes which may
be rectitied during their two days' time
lor thought, and will serve to muke
thini go lato the following gam.es with
more determination. It is a sufe bet
thai they .... ? o had many mistakes
pointed out to them by the gingery
McGraw, and he probably has shown
them the way that the rain has been
a God-bend lo the pitching staff.
Dinereuce lu Determination,
it is possible that tho "tuns" may
Bee a little different team in determi?
nation waik on the tield to oppose the
Athletics to-morrow, if tho elements
permit. On the other hand, the Athle?
tics have one point in their favor, and
vhut is, it is a pretty safe bei that
their men have been Umbering up, and
the pitchers, especially have gained u
decided advantage, for no bunch of ball
players can remain two days In and
around hotels and go oui feeling tit.
In this respect the big advantage Isj
with the Athletics. McGraw's tusk of|
selecting his pitcher for the nexr game
wili certainly be easier than It would 1
have been for the Wednesday's contest, i
I look for McGraw to pick Marquard!
to again oppose the Athletics In thtsj
fourth game, with the possibility of nisj
choice being Ames. For the Athletics,!
the chunces favor Bender, und to some.!
who are familiar With Manager Mack's
tactics, it would not be a surprise to!
see Coombs work. Jack Is in the most
wonderful shape. Of course, Jack will'
only pitch If Bender should r.ot be justj
right
There are two switches that might
be made by McGraw in tv-morrow's j
game. One is putting the hard-hutir.g:
Devlin on third. With Herzog at short,1
and the other sending Becker in the!
outfield. This. 1 believe, would be his
strongest card on the "dope" of the,
last three games. My reasons for say-l
lng this are rhat Devlin, an old and ex-1
perlenced player, is a good hittor and
would not be frustrated by the big!
crowds. Becker seems to be a batsman
with a very good style, and with noth-';
ing expected of him, might prove a
star In the remair.'.r.g games Of course,'
I do not known anything about his I
rielrilng I say this because 1 realize'
that McGraw is a very brainy manager.!
and the tide has to be turned some way. j
It is a place to gamble with..the series!
two games to cr.e tgulnsi him. and hej
might lust gamble in this way. I
really thiiik that would be his strong-1
eir tearn. The only thing is whether
he feels It a good gamble to take the
chance.
The surprise In good playing form
In this series to me was the catching
of Meyers, who, I have often heard,
was very awkward and erratic, but to
my way of thinking, he Is an expert in
handling shoots of the pitchers, and
is not at all,awkward. In hitting he
has not .beer; so ?'fortunate, though he
hit several balls hard, which failed
t*> net him safeties. He broke into the
hit column once each day, but I be.
lleve he is a man. who, with the base*
populated, would be a star In tho
sei les.
Surprise 1? Davis.
For the Athletics, the surprise was
Davis, who during the greater part ot
the season, did not play, and it looked
like a sure thing for Mclnnls in the
Series, and Davis had practiced hardly
any, postibiy beins a little overweight.
But he has delivered, both in fielding
and hitting, in grand style, and has
been instrumental In hitting in runs in
two of tho three games.
Tile noticeable feature of the 1911
serlea has been tlie inability of the
New lork batsmen to meet any kind
ui pitching nie Athletics uave served
Up. so tui. 'i'hey huve lacklcU three
uifferent styles in Bender, flank ami
Coombs, and ali three hud them ut
their mercy.
i forgot to mention in the features
01 tiie series the catching ut Thomas
and Lapp, especially the throwing oi
the latter, winch Wfig phenomenal. As
lor tue outcome ol tnis ser es, 1 sin- j
cerely believe the Athletics will win, I
as before stated. Their hitting is
much better und their lidding seems
more buru than IhU-t of lite Giants,
and with the .New Yorkers tailing toj
run the bases on tne Ath.ouC catch
ers, and two games won by i\v.o ufi
Mack's well rested pitchers would in?
dicate taut they have tne seat chances
ol repeating. Bender, having a rest of!
six lull days, should be lit.
Now. with these facts in f t vor of
the Athletics, und playing their next'
game on their home gru nds, the
Giants' pitchers geem to be their only1
chance. Just compare tlie two pitching
stuits. 1 mean the men that are liable
to work In this series, and the fielding
and batting strength in favor of the
Athletics. This proves, as fur as fore?
casting the outcome goes, that the
Athletics certainly are big lavorites
[The rain will also help the Athletics'
ciuse, as the Giants' b;.se runners will
t irther be hindered from using their
' speed by the wet ground*, not as
base stealers, as they have already
shown their Inability to pilfer, but m
taking extru bases on hit balls. Where
their natural speed would be to their,
advantage. j
"Mntty" Is Overworked.
Ab observed by the writer during the,
hard game of Tuesday, coming so soon
after the equally hard ope of Saturday.
Malhewson Used too many curve balls
when the Giants couid not get him u
lead so he could ease up for rest. In?
stead the Athletics were pounding the
hall very hard, and were right after
him all through the game; It neccssl
tater" him working v-ery hard and
curving every ball during the last four
Innings, I stated in Wednesday'*
story that "Matty" hf.d worked at
least eighteen Innings, and would
not te ready for several days.
"Matty," in his own account of the
same game 'n n newspaper, acknowl?
edged that he had worked too hard
In throwing too many curve balls, and
was afraid he could not come back.
This 1 add at the end as another strong
rolnt In the Athletice' favor. as
"Matty'" adn-,ltte?i he wus overworked.
The admission from Muthewsor, him?
self Indicates that he really believed he
was overworked.
The umpires for the next game will
be Dlr.een behind the bat and Klem on
the basea.
BY COMMISSION

New York, October 12.?The National

liijoii?"Around the c'oek."
?'The Country Hoy."
No picture of the struggles of a
boy from the country who invades the
city in an endeavor to make his for- I
tune has been more graphically drawn j
than that by Bdgar Selwyn in his 1
comedy, "The Country Boy," which ,
Henry B. Harris will present at the |
Academy to-night and Saturday and |
Saturday matinee.
This particular boy is discontented
and dissatisfied. He longs for the
lights and the Crowds. He does not
see that in his own little community |
there are opportunities for success anil j
good living greater than those to be
found In the big city. It takes bitter
experience to teach him th'.s. but he does
learn It. But the story of this boy's
struggle ie so liberally lnt/.-rspersed
with laughter that It provides one of
the most delightful enrertstnmentB of
