Whereupon Tech rooters arose •nd inquired. "What is this Cita del, anyhow?” We couldn’t really say for sure. Most of us In Atlanta presumed that it was sort of a glorified prep school, with an odd name A glance at the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association year book for 1911, however, demonstrates that the Citadel is a member of that organization—and the 8. I. A. A, as its name Indicates, is supposed to be a college organization. The annual enrollment of the Citadel Is from 250 to 300.

Figures Show Giants To Be Equal of Red Sox New Yorkers Harder Hitters and Better Runners By W. S. Farnsworth. DOWN in this part of the good old U. S. nine fans out of ten pick the Red Sox to beat the Giants in the world’s se ries. The writer will also wager his car fare on the Boston team, but, getting right down to cold facts and figures, the Giants seem to have an even break. Those who will back the Hub team are banking on the pitching of Joe Wood, Buck O’Brien and young Bedient. And in doing so they have overlooked the fact that not one of the trio has had the ex perience of participating in a world’s series. But let's get right down to facts concerning the teams. The Giants are heavier hitters than the Red Sox and have shown themselves better run-getters. For instance, the Giants, according to the last figures published, which • was less than a week back, have made 713 runs, while the Red Sox have but 674. At the time of the figures the Red Sox had won 91 games against 87 for the Giants and lost only one more game. Giants Better on Bases. On the bases the Giants are far superior to any club in either league. They have stolen 244 bases against 162 for the Red Sox. In the last world’s series the Giants’ base running ability did not cut much figure, for the simple .reason that they did not get on the paths. Still, with their swatting ability, the Giants ought to get a great many more on the bags this time than they did against Connie Mack’s tribe. There is only one department that the Red Sox have it on the Giants, according to the official records, and that is in fielding. The Giants defense has been very shaky at times this season, and they are tied with the lowly Bos ton Nationals in this department. On the other hand, the Red Sox are rated as second best fielders in the American league. This may ac count for the fact that the Red Sox have won more games with a weaker hitting aggregation. Don’t for a second get the im pression by this statement that the Boston outfit are not hard and timely hitters. They are only one point behind the Giants in team swatting. But the New Yorkers are far ahead of them in extra base clouts. The Giants have banged forth wallops for 461 extra bases against 431 for the MeAleer clan. The Giants are far better base runners. According to the figures, the best pilfer worker on the Bos ton team is Tris Speaker. He is third in the American league. No other Hubite Is listed among the first ten. On the other hand, the Giants have a monopoly on the base stealing averages in the l.yncli organization. Among the first ten are Doyle. Snodgrass, Devore, Mur ray. Herzog and Becker. Pitchers Are a Problem. Right down to here the Giants surely appear to have a shade on the Red Sox. So now it is up to the pitchers. Will the Giants be able to hit as hard against Wood. ('•'Brien and Bedient as they have against the National league’s best hurlers? That’s a questlan only time alone will solve. And will the Red Sox be able to beat Mathewson. Marquard and Tesreau as they haxe Walsh. Ford. Gregg. Johnson and Plank May be so and maybe not Boston has other pitchers besides Wood. O'Brien and Bi dient who are wonders Collins and Hall are both bearcats when going light 1 >n th< other hand, the Giants lia\< no one they can rely on outside of Matty, Rube and Big Jeff. And I doubt if they will be able to bank on any pitcher but Mathewson. Marquard verily' has blown. That record voyage about busted him up for the season, at least. Tesreau’s case is a problem. He may be the hero of the series and he may blow up entirely. Matty Is Giants’ Mainstay. So it looks from this angle as though McGraw will have to stake his stack on Mathewson practical ly all by his lonesome. And Mat ty sure was a cinch for the Bos- NEWS FROM RINGSIDE! John Wille, who the sporting scribes throughout the West have christened the ’’destroyer of white hopes,” owing to the easy manner in which he has been pol ishing off all the crack men he has been meeting iluring the past year, has been matched to tight ten rounds with Fred Fritts, the champion of the navy, in New York, next Monday night. Wille fought a ten-round draw with Al Kubiak here last winter. « « • Eddie MeGoorty has been matched to try out Jack Harrison, middleweight champion of England, in a ten-round bout at the Garden Athletic club, in New York, September 23.

If Tesreau “stays on the ground" he is likely to prove a hard nut for the Red Sox to crack. He has a corking spitter and the wet fling is not to the liking of the Beantown batsmen. But O’Brien has a peach erino spitter and the Giants have never been able to do much against such delivery, either. It may just be that these, spit ball artists will decide the cham pionship. such as the one staged at the Orleans Athletic club, in New Orleans, Monday, the boxing game will go dead in that city. Willie Gibbs and Frankie Russell wera allowed to stall through ten rounds, when I both officials and fans new it was a croked match.
