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 ruled a big favorite in betting eli de' The wise men thought that my team would prove easy for Mc- Graw's band of world beat, s " They claimed'that the mights Mathewson and the sensational Marquard. aided by such seasoned tw filers as Crandall, Wlltse and Ames, would make th. Red Sox look like a team of bush leaguers. Wood and Matty Pitched. Ihe seriei- was started on the *am« day that Detroit and Pitts bu g clashed tn the opening Hattie of the world series 1 selected Joe Wood tn do the twirling for my team, "hi.

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.

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. Johns came he-e foi a conference with Manager Smith. Johns wants tai find out "whet' he is at." He -ays that both i übs claim him. but he is the 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.

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 umpire calls the first game. and. believe me, I'll not miss a single play, cither. And I am going to make the trip to the series not one of pleasure alone, for 1 am going to do some scouting and try to land some new material for the 1913 Crackers WORLD'S SERIES GAMES WILL START OCTOBER 7 NEW YORK. Sept. 21. —The world ' series baseball games are to begin on Monday, October 7. This date is sai<: to have been tentatively agreed upon by the national commission, which meets here next Wednesday to draft j the plans for the games. The date ol ] the opening of the series was based upon the assumption that the New York Nationals and the Boston Americans would win the pennants in their re spective leagues.
