I.—Ability to knock off its leading contender, was the determining factor in the winning of the National League pen nant by the New York Giants. Pittsburg was easy picking for the Giants, through out the year. Mc- Graw’s team won 16 out of the 22 clashes. That wide margin iff differ ence between the two clubs decided the issue. T hat would make it seem that New York was much the superior club. There seems * 1;... ■ K BILLY EVANS to be considerable! difference of opinion on that point. The fact remains that the Giants could beat the Pirates almost as they plea ed. With scarcely a month Io play. Pittsburg enjoyed a seven and or. '-half game lead. Then fol lowed a five-game series bot.wcei New York and Pittsburg, the former winning five straight, '['hat was the blew that killed the Pirates. GIANTS ARE NOT GREAT BALL CLUB The New York Giants are not a great hall club. There are no great teams in cither the American or Na tional League. However, the Giants are a game, hustling aggregation, led by two of the most aggressive managers in the game, John Mc- Ci ’ and Hughey Jennings. Such a < nation of placing 'lren;.Hi and r. hip mal.c the Giants size ■ uft a pretty formidable aggrega fi<v i< lo 'it in a world eric . which <••<11 : for gamenes and nggrcssjve m. - mor' then anything else.

Don’t net. the .impression I' -in th.G .statement that the Giant' ard lacking in capable pichers. It Just seemed that at no one time was McGraw able to have four pitchers working smoothly. During the greater part of the sea ion, the last month of play except ed, McGraw usually had only two pitchers on whom he could depend. The dependable pitchers were not al ee iys the same fellows. For perhaps a mont'j two certain, pitcher, would < try the burden , and then, as two i I hers would round into form, the two dependable would develop a mediocre streak. NOTICE!

At one stage I i of the race it seemed the Giants j were hopelessly out of it. It seemed; impossible for McGraw’s club to i combine hitting with pitching. Then! there came a break, the pitchers; rounded into form. Good pitchim; i was aided by timely hitting and bril- 1 t iiant fielding and the Giants were 01: : their way. Some idea of the clip al which the i New York team traveled during the ; | last six weeks of the campaign can I be gleaned by consulting the ‘Tig ! gers.” I Wilh less than 50 games to p'ay. McGraw’s team sliced away i’:e; Pittsburg margin of seven and one- ’ half games and was able to win w : th I a couple to spare. The Giants in a I j short space of time accomplished a | seemingly impossible task. | i In that stretch of games, New f York beat Pittsburg in eight out of i nine clashes. Ability to knock off the leading contender decided the issue in favor of the Giants. DREYFUS FIGURED ON ENLARGING PARK Let us look ocer t.l’is team, which ' was able to come with : uch a re ' markable rush, after the pennant bad practically been conceded to other quarters. So certain had it seemed that Pittsburg would win, al i one stage of the race, that Owner Dreyfus of the Pittsburg Club had ■ started arrangements to enlarge his ; ball park. , However, the sudden reversal of form on the part of the Pittsburg • club, and the “Garrison” finish of Ihe ij New York team, stand out. as the C two big events in the closing day' •j of the National League race. • J Pitching usually decides the out 11 come of every world era-., i o it i -I fitting that the Giants pitching staff i be given first consideration. Whih 'there are peilrips a dozen pitchers f; on the Nev. York staff at present. ; seldom are ut re than four pitcher. I regarded a world series po: abilities i j HERE’S M’GRAW’S GREAT QUARTET It seems certain that McGraw wil vail upon Artie Nehf. a mighty styl s| ish left-hander, Phil Douglas, lead i ing exponent of the spitball, and ■Toney and -Barnes, two veteran • | right-handers. It is possible t hat > some of the other members'of the . ; Giants staff may break into the box -• score, but 1 seriously doubt if any II pitcher o'her than the four men | tioned will be called upon to start a • I game. li The New York staff is not a great i; pitching staff. There are no mem ' bers of it who stand out like Walter SCENE IN YANKEES’ SECRET ROOM nrf.’fh/W* . ... ...1 The confab room in the Yankee clubhouse—where the fans never get a I peek. Here the Hugmen work out their “strategy for today’s game.” In the group are Pipp, O’Leary, Coach Frank Roth, Quinn and Meusel, Johnson or Grover Cleveland Alex- I i’.ndev. It is, however, a well-hal- , : need stuff that combim every type.! (.1 pn hing. 1 here, is a marked dif ference' in the style of all four men. Nehf is a left-hander, who car-! rics a complete assortment, which i he mixes with telling effect. Once lie gains ti>e upper hand he is poi son. Early in the season he discov ered the Pittsburg club was made io order for him. Lu made a careful study of the Pirates Then he put into execution > is observations, cou pled with hi pitching maitery. Th " result wa:. seven victories over lb? Fill burg- team. That i. certainly a very remarkable perfonaance for a i itthcr to make again: t r.;s team’, leading contender. It. stamps Nehf as a southpaw, who on form, should make all kind: of trouble for the American League opposition. DOUGLAS GREA ! SPITBALL PUCHER Phil Douglas i: a. great spiral: pitcher, but inclined to be erratic Douglas has gl mo; I deceptive de livery, and like < \>veleskic of the Cleveland team, is a spitball pitcher mire and simple. He slip over the fast one every now and then, but well knowing that, the Miitball i:: his one best bet, depend: on the moist delivery almost en irely. Tn the American Li "vtie, Bey :?y <if ('oveleskic, “he start with a ■ nit ball and finishes! wilh one.” That goes for Douglas in the National. If there is one flaw in t l 'c work of Douglas, it is his lack of control at times. A club that waits him out, very often proves most trouble ome, and .a wild pitch often is fatal to his elia,. •- cs.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—(8y Asso ciated Press.) —Cleveland, fighting degenerately to retain their place in the American League pennant race, refused to now to the pitching prow ess <f “Red” Faber, pitching star of the White Sox, and batted out a 3 to 2 victory. The game was a thrilling pitching duel between Stan ley Coveleskie, the ace of the Clove- I land : taff, and Faber, who was at- I * empting to win hi twenty-sixth vic- | terv of tie season. Coveleskie was unsteady nt die start, and Chicago got av/av to a one V -• sz xz -z-w-z-z sided. On the right side of the dia mond are two <f the greatest ball players in the business. On the left side of the infield two good players, but far from great. 1 regard Frank Frisch as the peer of the third sackers in either major league. At shortstop it would' bo im possible to improve on the brill'an' Bancroft. At second is Rawlings, who ha ' seen service wilh a number of Na tienal League chib: .' Rawlings is far i from a great player, but he is of the ■ winning type, so much desired by ! McGraw. I Kelley fields well, and is the slug i g ; np| tvpe as a batsman.

Watt, started to explain to the Housewives h of the Country, who are the Managers of the Biggest Busi ' pens in the WorId—HOUSEKEEPING —something of my family history in explanation of my name and my qualifica i lions as a Servant. To continue: I: • f During the early part of the Nineteenth Century, experiments ' with Electric Force were being carried on by many scientists, among whom was A. M. Ampere, of France, whose contribution l<> My Present Power ami Ability was so warmly regarded as a to cause his name to be used as a term, “Ampere,” meaning: n k The rate of flow of electricity through a wire; that is, the i> amount passing through per second, just as gallons per second d >r cubic inches per second measure the rate of flow of water c rent through a pipe. y At the same time James Watt, a Scotchman, was discovering <- im<l developing steam power and the steam engine'. The Power it or force produced by his steam engine and by electric force were compared and his last name therefore is used as an elec trical term, "'Watt,” which is: The power produced by a given numbers of amperes sent through a wire at a given voltage, just as “horsepower” is the measure of power produced by a given number of gallons or übic inches of water per minute sent through a pipe at a given piessure. Watts in turn may be measured in horsepower, when the energy is used for power purposes, or in candle-power when used for lighting purposes. x Watts are measurable units of power or energy, just as “foot pounds” are a measure for power or energy. One horsepower equals 746 watts, or 33,000 foot-pounds per minute. (A horsepower is the amount of energy required to raise a weight I of 33,000 pounds one foot from the ground in one minute.) Therefore, my last name very plainly means a definite measure of Electrical Power, or Force, produced under the conditions stated above.
