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.

THE ATLAJNTa UtHOKGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, JULY 25. 1912. 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 APPALACHIAN LEAGUE. Games Today. Asheville in Johfison City.

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 CAROLINA ASSOCIATION. Games Today. Charlotte in Spartanburg.

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 1912 pennant winners. 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.

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.” '' ”■' B" "I" BBSBaBB— “If It’s at Hartman’s, it’s Correct” The Oxfords Are Going Fast And no wonder, for it’s not every day that such an extraordinary Shoe buying opportunity is to be met with.
