ATo Honor to Beat the Giants, Writes Lavender

“They Win on Bluff and Corner Lot Baseball”
Pitching Sensation Ranks
Cubs and Pirates as Supe
rior to McGrawites; Thinks
Phillies the Hardest to Beat.
By Jim Lavender.
CANDIDLY, I can’t see the
Giants. Some one has nick
named me the “Giant tamer.”
I presume the nickname is intend
ed to convey praise. Personally I
don’t consider trimming the Giants
such a great feat. As a matter of
fact, I find them quite easy.
Now. if some one should call me
a •"Phill-buster" I’d feel flattered,
and think that I really was some
pitcher, indeed.
Again, let me say that I can’t
see the ftiants. There are at least
two bali teams in the National
league which, taken as units, are
immeasurably their superiors.
The Cubs come first.
Then come the Pirates.
And I’d rather pitch against any
team in the league than against
the Phillies.
The fan who points to the fact
that the Giants are leading the
league, with the Cubs second and
the Pirates third, of course, for the
present, has an edge on the argu
ment. But—
Where would the Giants be to
day without Marquard or Matty
and where would they be in a
month hence if something happens
to either Rube or Big Six?
The Giants-are leading the pen
nant race now for two reasons,
Marquard and Bluff, but princi
pally Marquard.
Rates Marquard Greatest Southpaw
So that nobody will make a mis
take I’ll say here that I consider
Rube the greatest left-hander in
the game. Mathewson needs no
praise of mine. He’s a great
pitcher, one of the greatest the
game has ever known, even if he’s
not as effective against the Cubs
as he is against ail of the other
clubs in the league,; but to my way
of thinking, take these two pitch
ers away from the Giants and the
team would fizz like a "nigger
chaser" on the Fourth of July.
My attention has been called to
the fact that Manager McGraw has
said that I am not a great pitcher
—just a good one. That I’m a fin
ished pitcher now, with little
chance to improve. We'll let the
bet go as it lays. I trimmed ’em
twice, didn't I? And I checked the
winning streak of their pitching
sensation, didn’t I? All right, let’s
have it as Mr. McGraw says, that
I’m not a great pitcher, just a good
one. then all it needs is just a good
pitcher to trim the New Yorks,
and that bears out my argurqent
that I can't see the Giants as a
wonderful ball club. Take away
their two pitchers on the defensive
and. they aviate. On the offensive
they’re nothing when they run up
against a team with real class, like
the Cubs.

What Lavender Says About the National Race
I can't see the Giants.
There are two teams better than the Giants.
The Cubs come first. Then come the Pirates.
I had rather pitch against any team than against the Phillies.
The Giants are leading for two reasons—Marquard and .Bluff, princi
pally Marquard.
I consider Marquard the greatest left-hander.
The Giants play corner lot baseball.
I beat the Giants by feeding them low balls.
If the Giants should win the pennant, it will not be a Giant victory,
but the victory of Marquard and Mathewson.
sort of a game the Giants play
against the other teams, when they
face the Cubs they get right down
to straight baseball.
It may be that several Incidents
in the past which happened in con
flicts between these two teams and
which have made baseball history,
has shown that it is useless for the
New Yorkers to match gray matter
against gray matter with the Cubs.
When they line up against, the
Cubs now they put up elemental
baseball. They play the game as
it’s played on the corner lots, and if
they can get away with it all right.
But no bluff and no fancy busi
ness, no stealing of bases and no
going crazy for McGraw when he's
up against the Cub machine.
While the team as a whole is
easy for me, naturally there are
several men with whom I have
more difficulty than with the
others. ThJ most dangerous of the
lot I consider Larry Doyle. Taken
as a unit, the Giants like a high
ball. Obviously, then, I feed them
low ones. So far I have been suc
cessful in fooling both Doyle and
Murray with the low ones. While
Meyers does not particularly fancy
those below the waist, he's apt to
get them, as he’s one of the luck
iest hitters I have ever seen. The
rest of the Giants I relegate to the
junk pile. They have several fast
men when they get on bases, tak
ing Snodgiass as an example, but
they don’t get on often enough

when I’m in the box to give me any
trouble, and, as I said before, with
Archer catching, McGraw insists on
straight baseball, with base steal
ing. forgotten.
Pitchers Giants’ Only Hope.
And here another thought comes
to mind. Again I’ll prick the Giants’
bubble of conceit. I wonder if Mc-
Graw knows that in my five years
of baseball, ail of which have been
spent in the minors, I never was
with a team which finished in first
division? I guess if a second divi
sion minor league pitcher can trim
the Giants it doesn’t bear out my
contention that as a ball club they
possess but little class.
I'm not going to wish either Mar
quard or Matty any harm. I ad
mire them too much as pitchers,
and I respect them too much as
men. but if the Giants win the
pennant this year it will be the
victory of Marquard and Mathew
son.
Do I think the Giants are going
to win the flag?
No—not if we can get to within
five games of them before we leave
for the next Eastern trip.
Do I think we can cut down
their present lead to that number
of games?
Yes.
Everything is beginning to break
in our favor. Our schedule is easier .
than that of the Giants. The lat
ter are up against all of the first
division clubs, each one fighting for
a position, and what is better than

Believes Chicago Will Land
Flag if Other Teams Play
Their Best Game Against
the New York Aggregation.
all else is the fact that all of the
other teams no longer face the
Giants with fear and trembling as
they did in the beginning of the
season, almost conceding them the
game before it is played, but are
making them go out and win it.
And in the process of making the
New Yorkers win they find that
they also can be beaten. This is
what is going to help us.
The Cubs can beat the Giants if
the other teams in the league will
make them fight for every game
from now on to the end of the sea
son, and I think the Giants will not
win enough games to come home

Specific Blood Poison
Specific Blood Poison is the most insidious of all diseases. It begins
usually by a tiny sore which is the only outward evidence of its presence.
But down in the blood the treacherous poison is at work and in a short
time its chain of symptoms begin to crop out. The mouth and throat ul
cerate, skin eruptions break out, sores and ulcers appear on the body, the
glands in the groin swell, and sometimes the hair comes out. Mineral
e medicines cannot cure Specific Blood Poison; they
only shut the disease up in the system to smolder
and await an opportunity of breaking out afresh.
The only possible way to cure the disease is to re
move the germs from the blood. S. S. S. goes into
the circulation and removes the last trace of the in
fectious virus, tones up the stomach, bowels, kid
neys and all portions of the system, and thus makes
a perfect and lasting cure. _ S. S. S. is made entirely
of roots, herbs and barks; it does not contain a par
ticle of mineral or other harmful drug. Thousands
have cured themselves of Specific Blood Poison by the useof S.S.S. It will
cure you if you will give it a trial. Special Home Treatment book and any

The mathematical axiom, “two plus two are four,

“The efficiency of a motor car bears direct propor

A motor car of simple design to whose moving
parts instant access may be had under any circumstances,
guarantees to its owner the maximum of efficiency, re
liability and long life.
Such a car is the “OAKLAND,” the dust-proof

INDIAN THORPE REFUSES
INVITATION OF KING
LONDON, July 25. —It was learned
on the voyage of the American ath
letes to Dover that on the day when
the Finland left Stockholm the King of
SwiKien sent an equerry to the 'ship to
command the presence of Thorpe, half
breed Indian and winner of the all
around athletic championship, at the
royal palace.
Thorpe refused to go. It is probably
the first time in history that a royal
command of such a nature was ever
refused.
It is reported the king wished to
give Thorpe a token of appreciation of
his wonderful work in winning the
pentathlon and decathlon in the Olym
pic games. But when the gold braided
royal equerry boarded the ship and
gave Thorpe the summons, the Indian
looked sheepish, tried to dig his foot
into the deck, and finally replied, bash
fully:
“I guess I won’t go.”
