To "Chief" Myers, the Giants's In

As a batsman "Big Chief" Myers
ranks with the leaders of the base?
ball world. At present he is having
? struggle with Heinle Zimmerman
and Bill Sweeney far the batting pre?
miership of the National League,
ranking third "n the official averages
with .342. Many man has le>J thci
league with a smaller average, but I
In this piping season of swat the tre-1
niendous clouting of Zimmerman and
Sweeney has shoved the "Chief" into
the third notch. Last season Myers
finished the season in third place in
the official batting figures, with a
grand average of .332, being but three
points below Hans Wagner, who fin?
ished at the top.
Myers's hitting is especially effec?
tive with men on the bases, his dread?
ed mace usually calling for a base
on balls at crucial periods in National
League contests, for when a guy who
is hitting .342 in the pinches looms
up in the offing it is up to his oppon?
ent to use strategy in the matter or
make hurried provisions for his last
will and testament.
As past performance Is always a
good thing on which to base a criter?
ion of what m-'ght be expected of thei
performer under similar conditions.!
let us take an Annette Kellermann i
into the musty archives of the last j
World's Series and lamp what Myers (
did under those conditions in order to!
I get a line on which to base our ex- ]
I pecttations of his work ?iuring thei
j coming big fuss. Against pitching;
! that had the bats of his team-mates
lashed to the mast in the series |
; against the Athletics, Myers hit for an!
j even .30u mark throughout the series!
' and did more on the attack to keep'
'his team in the flgnt for the highest j
huno-s of the baeebal world for six !
i combats than any other member of
the Giants. Had it not been for the j
; big bat of "Chief Myers, the Athletics j
; would have won the World's Champ-1
ion ship last October with four suc
' cessive victories.

' world's series at the Polo Grounds in!
New York, in a game in which his!

j Bender. Myers sunk the harpoon of
defeat into the quivering flesh of his
brother red man when he busted a
1-1 tie by carrying over the winning
margin of a 2 to 1 finish after lam?
basting a two-base belt against the
left field bleacher wall In the sev-1

a run that had the score tied up until,
Baker ot.oke it up with the first of his
memorable home-run wallops. In the
third game of the series Myers scored
h* the third inning, after walloping j
out the first hit made off Coombs, and '
this was the only run scored by the
Giants until the eleventh inning, and
had the Athletics shutout until Baker!
produced his second historic home run \
clout that tied up the score in the
ninth. In addition to which the Chief
agairj came up in the eleventh with
a man on bas? and smashed a terrific
clout into the left field stands that
went just a few feet foul, a fortui?

of the last world's series,

second that the Giants won. Myers
I again scored the first run for his
team with a long sacrifice fly to right
1 in the seventh inning, and made the,
scoring of the tying run in the ninth;
possible by shoving Fletcher from sec-;
ond to third with a hard whack that
Barry bad difficulty in handling. In
addition to this work on the attack.
Myers showed his cleverness at the
j inskie stuff on the defense by invari
j ably calling the turn on Athletic base
? filchers and getting a "pitch out" at
j the proper time, throwing out five of

who. on three separate occasions this
Season, has s fped six cushions in a

Past performances being the dope
on which all odds are based in lay?
ing a bet, and the purely accidental
fact of his terr'fic clout Into the
bleachers In the eleventh inning of
j the third combat in the last world's

UNIVERSITY ELEVEN
MAKES FINE SHOWING
[Special to The Times-Dispatch ]
Charlottesville, Va, September 29.?
Barring the frequent fumbling of the
backheld candidates, Virginia's show?
ing in the initial game or the season
yesterday with William and Mary Col?
lege must have been exceedingly grati?
fying to the coaches. It is true that
not as many points were scored
against the visitors as in the game last
October, but there is no denying the
fact that the Virginia team, judging
from yesterday's exhibition, is at least
M per cent, stronger than the eleven
turned out last y.-ar. The great im?
provement, of course, in In the back
fl?!d. I?ast fall Kemper Yancey had
comparatively lew candidates for posl
itoi * Lack of the lire, and one of those.
? "?iptain howm withdrew from col?
lege in the very midst of the season.
This year, however, the freshman class
has furnished at least s half dozen
men who give much promise. It Is
true that the favorable showing of
tbes^ men yesterday was d'ie In no
^rnall part the splendid work of the
t f .rwards, the majority of whom
already possess a good knowledge of
th. game. William and Mary's line
?'? ? rumpled |.. 'off ih'- attack
of tb'-s. heavyweights, and a back of
? v. i. fair abilty found little dlflkulty
.', '??!ing off from five to ten yards In
nearly every attempt.
Nor did the new Macks shine only
on the offensive. As a rule, they;
I tackled low and hard. Coach Klliott I
\hae insisted all along that this is the I
I rlrst requistise of a good football play- I
I first requiste of a good to let up until I
I the end of the season, but what his in-l
i ?tructions are carried. The/e ia no'
; place on his eleven for the man who!
j tackles high. Along this line, the'
i work of Max son. the Texan, who has'
i quite a tra< k record, stood out prnm-j
; in?-ntly yesterday. On the defensive he|
! was a tower of strength. Frequently]
j he dashed throurh the line and dumped!
i the man with the ball before he had!
i gotten under way. On one occaaion hej
j tackled a William and Mary player on'
, the flve-yard line, grabbing his man'
around th? ankles and dragging him
almost to the goal line. It was one!
of the prettiest bits of defensive work!
in the contest.

Boston's Staff of Pitchers It
of More Even
Strength.
NEW YORK LEADS IN HITTING
Many Points in Doubt Will Be
Settled During World's
Series.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch. ]
New York. September 21.?When the
Giants rise to the occasion, as they
hsve dons eeversl tlmea this season,
when they play the beat baseball mat
is in them, they play a game strong
enough to put them on even terms
with the strongest rival thaft can t><*
pitted against them. Presumably ins
atrongest rivals that can be put against
them this yesr are the Boston Led
Sox. the now American League cham?
pions. There slwsys Is a strong spirit
of the corps in s pennant-winning
team and the Giants have fully as
much of it as the Ked box, though
the season has shown plainly that they
haven't been aa ateady as the Amer?
ican League standard bearers.
Yet. world's seriss games are a bit
beyond the realm of tue ordinary, and
s superior steadiness of the Boston,
does not mean necessarily that they
will have It in the world's ssrles.
If there is say advantage in hav?
ing gone tflrough a world'a serlea, the
Giants have it. They are seasoned to
such oonteata snd testa, whereas the
Red Sox are not.
The Boatona have been referred to
a great deal aa a team of hard hitters,
but the latest percentages of the Bos?
ton team show that the team average
Is s few points less than that of ths
Giants. Batting suggests pitching, snd
of ths concrete fsctors in the playing
of s world's series this is ths most
important. To use a common phrase,
the play revolves around the pitch -
lng.
Taking ths New Xqcst snd Boston
pitching stalls in their entirety, there
is little doubt that the Boston staff
Is of more even strength, a better staff
as a whole. Teareau and Mathewsoa
vs. Wood and Collins, tbst Is the way
it is believed the pitchers will do
, battle. These are the ones likely to
I ahoulder the bulk of the work, though
It would be no surprise if McGraw
ahould have Marquaxd is pretty good
ahape for the series But if the other
'< two are effective, they are sufficient.
With Wood and Collins. Tesresu snd
Mathswsos on the firing line it looks
as if the bsttera would find it mors
than ordinarily difficult to "set on."
To stop base running there must be
pitchers who can watch the base run?
ners, catchers who can throw, and bat
j tery men who can outguess the base
I runners. The Boston pitchers are well
[schooled and clever at holding men
close to the station, but none better
1 than Mathewson- as a mechanical
catcher Meyers judging from the work
of the two. Is better than Carrigan
The strong and well-balancgd out
field of the Bostons is one of the
things thst Influence Judges In pick?
ing* the Red Sox ss the stronger team.
With Speaker. Lewis and Hooper, there
is no doubt of the superiority of the
Boston outfield. They cover more
ground on fly balls than Devore, Beeker,
Snodgrsss and Murray. Also they are
s bit better on ground balls.
There's one thing about the Giants,
they haven't played as good a game as
they did lsst year, certainly not as
consistently. They aren't playing aa
good s game as at this time last year.
As a probable offset to th'a. It may
be asked: Are the {Bed Sox ss good
as the Athletics were lsst yesr? It Is
hard to see wherein they are. The
burden of proof, so far aa that ques?
tion is concerned, is on them.
