Fred Lake, Ex-Red Sox Manager,
Tells of 1909 Series Between
New York and Boston-Ist Game
''TA HIS Is th. 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
"ill 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 vear's world
series.
By Fred Lake.
rpHH Red Sox. under the leadet -
| ship of Jake Stahl, have «on
the American league pen
nant The New York Giants are
sure winners In the National league
Therefore, the Rod Sox and the
Giants will clash next month in a
series of games to settle the base
ball championship of the world.
< >n the eve of such an important
series it is interesting to tell of the
Red Sox-Giants inter-city series,
which took place back in 19"9 and
which was won by the Boston
team, they taking four out of five
games At the time 1 was manager
of the Red Sox
Many of the players* who took
part in 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 ai ranged. New York

A. Fv HIGDON Boston has Ihe

W ood tried to catch him napping
he threw the ball to center field.
Speaker AJoout “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, I 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 Now
York to score its second run of the
game.

Bridwell was on third and Tenney
on second. .Xleyers hit to McCon

have to travel some to beat Boston
on account of their hard-hitting
outfield.
EDDIE LOVEJOY—I am very
confident the Boston boys will be

JOHNS WANTS TO KNOW
WHAT CLUB OWNS HIM
Ha old Johns, the star southpaw of I
the C atkers the year Billy Smith won
the pennant, is in Atlanta, returning]
here from Montgomery , to whom he I
was loaned by the Crackers for the!
season.

with Manager Smith. Johns wants tai

t opeity of the Atlanta club without
question.
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.
M 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 Now York "fans" thought
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 later.
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 week. 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. 1 can not tell you who
these National league managers
are. They would get in bad if 1
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, 1 don't believe that
McGraw has a single pitcher w'ho
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
j man that may possibly turn the
trick. Rut 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 topnotehers in Wood. Col
lins, O'Brien. Bcdient and Hall.
Any one of them ought to be able
to beat the Giants.
1 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 I believe
But Griff did tell me that next to
Johnson. Wood is easily the best
pitch'r in the American league.
How Smith Sizes 'Em Up.
Here is the way I size up the
teams;
Wood. Collins. O'Brien. Bedient

and Hall are better than Mathew

Crandall and Wiltse.
Meyers and Wilson haven't a

Stahl is better th n Merkle, ev
erything considered.
Yerkes not as good as D v .

Fletcher.
Gardner has a good big edge on

And Speaker, Hooper and Le-vls
make Snodgrass, Murray and Beck

But there is one thing you have
got to give the Giants the better
of it. And that is McGraw.
McGraw is a wonderful general.
He is sure to pull off a lot of inside
baseball in this series, and e wi I
probably outguess and outfigure
Stahl in many things.
Billy WiFi See Games.
I will be right on hand when the

believe me, I'll not miss a single
