Fred Lake, Ex-Red Sox Manager, Tells of 1909 Series Between New York and Boston-1 st Game THIS is the first of a series of articles by Fred Lake analyz ing the Giants-Red Sox post season series in 1909. Many of the men who took part in that series will play for the world champion ship this fall. The Red Sox de feated the Giants in four out of five games in 1909. Fred Lake was manager of the victorious Red Sox team and he is best fitted to give the “fans" the “inside dope" on how the Red Sox defeated New York, with whatever bearing it should have on this year’s world series. By Fred Lake. rrxHE Red Sox. under the leader- | ship of Jake Stahl, have won the American league pen nant. The New York Giants are sure winners in the National league. Therefore, the Red Sox anil the Giants will clash next month In a •eries of games to settle the base ball championship of the world. On the eve of sqch an important series it is interesting to tell of the Red Sox-Giants inter-city series, which took place back In 1909 and which was won by the Boston team, they taklflg four out of five games At the time 1 was manager of the Red Sox. Many of the players who took part tn that series will battle against each other again next month. And if past performances count for anything, the Red Sox will re peat their triumph of 1909. The Red Sox and Giants both finished third In their respective leagues in 1909, and a series of games was arranged. New York ruled a big favorite in betting cir cles. The wise men thought that my team would prove easy for Mc- Graw's band of "world beaters.” They claimed that the mighty Mathewson and the sensational Marquard, aided by such seasoned twirlers as Crandall, Wiltse and Ames, would make the Red Sox look like a team of bush leaguers. Wood and Matty Pitched. The series was started on the same day that Detroit and Pitts burg clashed in the opening battle of the world series. I selected Joe Wood to do the twirling for my team, whih McGraw sent Mathew son into the box. At the time Joe was but nineteen years of age; nevertheless, he was a wonderful pitcher I picked him tip myself at Kansas City while on a scouting trip Joe possessed great speed and a fine assortment of curves, though, of course, he was not as good as he is today. Wood outpltehed Mathewson, but lost his game by a score of 4 to 2. All of the Giants' runs were gifts, while my Speed Boys earned all of their tallies-. "Smoky Joe" twirled magnificent bail, allowing the Giants but six scattered hits, while he gave but one base on balls. Matty’s slants were hit hard and often. In all we landed on him for ten lusty hits We made one or more hits in every inning but the ninth The only thing which enabled "Big Six" to triumph was his won derful control and ability to strike out a man in a pinch Mathewson is a cool-headed, brainy pitcher and never believes in exerting him self when It is not necessary to do so. He realizes that a ball team is composed of nine men and not one. He, therefore, lets the rest of the men do a little work. In this way hi saves his energy and when the bases are crowded he is able to let out anti strike out one or two mtn. , Speaker Was the Star. Tris Speaker was the star of the oi --ti i g game. "Spoke" was then .. kid. but could play ball as “ as the best of them. The BOX SCORE OF THE FIRST GAME OF 1909 SOX-GIANTS SERIES NEW YORK.

He also stole two bases, made five put-outs and am assist. Speaker's assist war the best play of the entire game. It came in the seventh inning. "Big Chief" Meyers was the first man up. The Chief has always been a wicked hitter. He lined out a triple. Mc- Graw then sent In Billy O'Hara to run for the Indian Matty raised a short fly to Harry Hooper in right field and O'Hara didn't dare take any chances with that prize "wing" of the young Californian. Larry Doyle was the next bat ter. And you all know how Larry can swat that ball. He leaned on one of Wood's fast shoots and sent the horsehide sailing to deep cen ter field. Tris was under the ball and made a tine catch. O’Hara then started for the plate and it looked a 10 to 1 shot that he would score. "Spoke," however, thought differently an<| got his man by fully fife teet. It was a wonderful throw and was applauded by the “fans." The catching of Meyers was none too good. The Indian was very wild in throwing to bases. Lord, Speak er, Niles. French and Stahl all stole on the Chief. I'he New York "fans" received a setback in the very first inning when we sent one man across the counting station. "Amby" McCon nell was the first man up, and he popped to Fred Tenney. Harry Lord then started the fireworks by knocking out h slashing two-base drive. Speaker hit out a single, which sent Lord to third. It was then Up to Jake Stahl, but the big first baseman fanned the breezes three times. Lord and Speaker knew that they had to do something desperate if a run was to be scored, and when Matty tossed the first hall to Carrigan, Speaker started'for second. Meyers Made Wild Heave. Meyers shot the ball to Harry Doyle, but the throw was wild and Lord easily eompletd his end of the double steal. This ended our tun scoring for the time being.

Doyle hit sharply to French, who was playing short in the ab sence of "Heinie” Wagner, who was injured just before the regular sea son closed. French threw low to first and Doyle was safe. He then stole second ami went to third on Seymour's out, McConnell to Stahl. Doyle scored a minute later while French was throwing McCormick out at first. The Giants won the game in the fourth inning, due chiefly to some poor playing by my team. Murray was the first man to face Wood and. he sent an easy grounder to Mc- Connell, who got it over to first in time to beat the Giants' outfielder. Devlin started the troubled with a single. Wood was unable Io lo cate the plate when- Bridwell was up, and Al was given free trans portation to the first sack. Devlin Atlantans Predict How Giants and Red Sox Will Come Out LOCAL FANS DIVIBEO OVER WORLD'S SERIES ATLANTA baseball fans are about equally divided tn their opinion as to the outcome of» the world's series. Some are strong for the Giants, others are confident the Red Sox will win in a walk, while many believe that it will be very close and are unable to make a choice. Here is how the most prominent local fans make their selections; HUGH CARDOZA Believe my old friend McGraw will win. WILLIAM S. ANSLEY—I can't see anything but Boston for the world's champions. MILT SAl'L—I think the Giants will hit Wood ami take the series. HOMER GEORGE—I pick Mc- Graw’s clan to trim the Red Sox for the title. A. R. HIGDON —Boston has the best chance, but the Giants may slip one over and grab the series. H. L. DIX With a manager like John McGraw, the, Giants should beat most any team.- POLICE CHIEF BEAVERS—I think Wood will hold the Giant swatters safe w hile his team mates bat out a victory. , W. J. FRANKLIN—With the team they now have, the Rest Box should have easy sailing with the Giants. SHELLY IVEY—I think New York will annex the title this year. They have a great team and a great manager. IRVIN BEALL Taking all things Into consideration. Boston will have the edge on New York and should win. DR. T. H. TODD—Wood will be able almost to win the series sin gle-handed for the Red Sox. REV. JOHN E WHITE—I think Mathewson w ill show good form in the coming series and guide the Giants to victory over the Red Sox SHERIFF C. W. MANGUM—I think New York will clinch the se ries in the first games played. L. W ROGERS- I look for Bos ton to win the championship. JOHN B. LESTER—I think Tes- , took a big lead off second, And when Wood tried to catch him he threw the ball to center field. Speaker About "Got Him." Devlin immediately started for third. Speaker was playing in and he grabbed the ball and came with in an ace of getting Devlin at third. In fact, 1 believe he had Devlin, but Umpire Connolly called him safe. Fred Tenney rapped one to Lord and Devlin started for home. The Giant third sacker would have been an easy out, but while chasing Dev lin up and down the base line Car rigan threw wild, enabling New Yprk to score its second run of the game. When things had quieted down, Bridwell was on third and Tenney on second. Meyers hit to McCon nell. "Amby” juggled the ball for , reau and Mathewson will pitch the Giants to victory. DR. V. E. KEA—The Giants will have to travel some tp beat Boston on account of their hard-hitting outfield. EDDIE LOVEJOY- —1 am very confident the Boston hoys will be returned winners. EARLE GRIGGS —McGraw has a good team, but Stahl has a better one. ASSISTANT CHIEF OF POLICE JETT —1 think the Boston Red Sox will cop the rag. GEORGE GELALES—AII my money goes on the Red Sox. LOUIS W. BROGDON—After the series has been played Boston will raise the flag in Beantown. . T. FITZPATRICK—Tesreau will hold the Sox safe while his team mates pound out a victory. JOHN T. WEBB—McGraw has had more experience than Stahl and should pilot his team to victory over Boston. R. A. AIKEN—If Boston shows the form in the coming series it has all season, it should cop the gonfalon. MEADE WARREN—I should like to see the Giants win. but Boston - has a better team. JOHN Y. GREEN—New York will be beaten again for the world s title. R. W. JOHNSON—The Red Sox for mine. W. C. THOMPSON—It will go the full seven games, with .the Giants a winner. GEORGE HANSON -Wood and Collins ought to win for Boston. LI < IEN YORK—Boston seems to have the better team. FRED CHAMBERS—My money will go on Boston. FRED GEISSLER I expect to cash on Stahl's team. AL FORD—Boston in a walk. GUS DODD—Matty and Mc- Graw will win the title for New York. R( )S< ’OE M ASSENG A LE—The Giants' pitchers ought to win for New York. GE' 'RGE \\ IN I'ERS—Red Sox—- $ Oddly enough, Joe Wood, now relied upon to beat the S Giants, lost the only game dropped by Boston in the se ( ties. Wood was only nineteen years old- then. Mathew son beat him. Wood, Hall. Collins, Pape and Carrigan. < who appeared in that series, are still doing battery work < for Boston, while Mathewson. Wjltse, Marquard, Crandall < and Ames are still doing similar duty for the Giants. a second, and, although he got Meyers at first, Bridwell crossed the rubber. Mathewson should have made the third out when he grounded to Lord, but Harry was up in the air and was unable to locate Stahl at first, the result being that Tenney scored the Giant's fourth and last tally. \\ e scored our second run in the sixth when Tris Speaker slammed one of .Matty s fast ones to deep right field for a trip around the cir cuit. We were a beaten team in the first game, but our defeat did not discourage us. The New York “fans'’ thought 1 that we would be easy picking in the remaining games of the series, but we were confident that we would make good, and we did, as <, I will show you lajer. that's all. LOU CASTRO—Boston looks like the better team to me. B. LEE SMITH—I favor the Giants. REESE MARSHALL—I am backing the New Yorkers. STEPHEN LA SALLE—It's pret ty hard to pick the winer. Giants have a shade. S. E. DAVIDSON—WouId sell real estate to either of 'em. Bos ton carries my money. WYLIE WEST—McGraw will outgeneral Stahl. COLONEL ORCHARD— Am still doping it out. Haven't decided yet. JESSE PERRY —Boston in a walk. PHIL L’ENGLE Mathewson. •Marquard and Tesreau are too good for Boston. WILLARD PA "FrEßSON—'Car doza says Giants. Therefore, I say Red Sox. J. O. COCHRAN—Giants. JAMES WOODWARD—I am leaning toward the New York club. DR. GEORGE Giants should win, but it is going to be close. JOHN Y. SMlTH—Boston has the better team by far. ED COOPER —Mathewson will do the job for the Giants. GEORGE ADAIR—I can’t pick a winner; it is so close. DR. THOMAS HINMAN—The Boston team is my selection. DR. JOSEPH OSBORNE—Bos ton. NED WINBURN —Boston should walk away with the series. JOHNS WANTS TO KNOW WHAT CLUB OWNS HIM Harold Johns, the star southpaw of tin Crackers the year Billy Smith won the pennant, is in Atlanta, returning here from Montgomery, to whom he was loaned by the Crackers for the season. . Johns came here for a conference with Manager Smith. Johns wants to find out "where he is at." He says that both clubs claim him, but he is the prop, rty of the Atlanta dub without question. Billy Smith Picks Red Sox to Beat Giants-Popular Manager Sizes Up Contenders for Title By Billy Smith. (Crackers' Manager—Best and Most Popular Leader Atlanta Ever Had.) 1 EXPECT to bet about SSO on the world’s series this fall, and my money will go on the Red Sox. I had believed the Bos ton team the superior of the New Yorkers right along, but, after talk ing with all the big baseball men at the national commission meeting in Cincinnati this I can’t see how the Hubbites can lose. 1 talked to George Stovall, Clark Griffith, Arthur Irwin, Jimmy Cal lahan, Kid Gleason and Connie Mack about the big series, and every one of them told me the Red Sox are a lead pipe cinch. And I also talked with several National league managers, who told me the Giants are not in the same class with the Red Sox. Os course, I can not tell you who these National league managers are. They would get in bad if I disclosed their names. Jimmy Callahan told me that the Red Sox are the greatest team that ever played. The White Sox man ager says that they are far and , above a better team than the Ath letics of last year. Cal believes that there is only one weakness in the entire Boston machine, and this is Yerkes at second. “And, Billy, Yerkes is above the average second baseman, too," is the way Cal put it. He doesn't mean that Yerkes is weak. He thinks that he isn’t quite as good as the other mem bers of the team. Pitchers Hold Cards. • In a short series of seven games the pitchers, of course, are the ones who have to do most of the work. Now, I don't believe that McGraw has a single pitcher who can stop those hard-hitting Bos ton batters. Tesreau is a youngster and is very likely to blow up. Marquard hasn't a chance in the world of stopping ’em. Mathewson is the man that may’ possibly turn the trick. But Matty is not as young as he was once, and you know he won't be able to pitch every game, either. On the other hand, Jake Stahl has five topnotchers in Wood, Gol -I'ins, O'Brien, Bedient and Hall. Any one of them ought to be able to beat the Giants. I had always thought Wood the greatest pitcher until Clark Grif fith told me up in Cincinnati that Walter Johnson is better. And anything Griff tells me 1 believe. But Griff did tell me that next to Johnson, Wood is easily the best pitcher in the American league. How Smith Sizes ’Em Up. Here is the way I size up the teams: Wood, Collins. O’Brien, Bedient ■ . >lll Sores>lre Not Cancerous i While all Old Sores are not cancerous in their nature, ever healing’ ulcer snows a degenerated condition of the blood.

Meyers and Wilson haven’t a thing on Carrigan and Cady. Stahl is better than Merkle, ev erything considered. Yerkes not as good as Doyle. Wagner a mile better than Fletcher. Gardner has a good big edge on Herzog. And Speaker, Hooper and Lewis make Snodgrass, Murray and Beck er or Devore look like bush leaguers. But there is one thing you have got to give the Giants the better of it. And that is StcGraw. McGraw is a wonderful general. He is sure to pull off a lot of inside baseball in this series, and lie will probably outguess and outfigure Stahl in many things. Billy Will See Games. I will be right on hand when the umpire calls the first game, and, believe me, I’ll not miss a single play, either. And I am going tn make the trip to the series not one of pleasure alone, for I am going to do some scouting and try to land some new material for the 1913 Crackers.
