Sept. 24. Joe Tinker. Cub shortstop. the one man who has always been a thorn in the side of the Giants, finds it hard work to pick the win ner of the coming world's series. “Luck may cut a big figure in those games," said Tinker, “and if McGraw has a fair share of it, or a shade, the Giants may turn the trick. Rut they will have to play steadier and more aggressive hall than they have shown against the Clubs tills year. I have not seen the Red Sox, consequently 1 am not m a position to say much about them, but it's practically a sure thing that their pitchers, especially Joe Wood, are going to bother the Slants a whole lot. "Tesreau will be the Giants' king pin. You can bet on that. He's a reproduction of Ed Walsh, of the White Sox, in physique, courage and delivery, though, of course, he lack's Walsh's confidence and ex perience. But Tesre-au's spit ball is a wonder, for you can't hit it even when you think you know Just how It Is going to cross the plate. Speed Is everything, and when coupled with the moist fling .you’re up against it. ’ "It wouldn't surprise me a bit to see Matty at his best. The vet eran always seems to be there In a pinch. He's got the head and the nerve, also the knowledge, even if he goes not possess the great speed of former years. "Marquard has a weakness which he can’t overcome. He can not hide his delivery. By that 1 mean that it is possible to tell by the way he holds the ball whether he intends to use a curve or a fast shoot. 1 told McGraw about this defect be fore the world's series last year, but Mat said it didn’t matter The Athletics, however, got the hang of Marquard Just because they watch ed him narrowly The Rube also lost the jump on his fast ball. I don't know the reason for it. but it is true nevertheless, and he'll be handicapped because of it. "There's another thing about the Giants that we have noticed. They seem to stand still too much. That is to say they don't pull together enough when the pace is hot. We have won the series from them Just because we have excelled them in this respect. We are going to pull for the Giants against the Red Sox because we ate National leaguers, heart and soul, but Mc- Graw’s men. we fear, may not be able to make enough tuns to help out their pitching staff. Still, the series doesn't look like a sure thing for either team. and. as 1 said be fore, if McGraw gets a few good breaks in the luck, N< w York may prove victorious. Let us hope so, anywax LEWIS TO FIGHT BROWN. CHICAGO. Sept 24. George "Knock- . Broun has been matched to m, , t \\ lllte Lewis at ti e West Side Athletic elub.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24, 1912. i j Fred Lake’s Story of 1909 Sox-Giants Series •!••••* *!•••!• •♦•••I* •♦•••!* Ex-Boston Manager Describes Third Battle — .... By FRED LAKE ~ ' =_ third game of the Red Sox- | Giants inter-city series was played in Boston. New England baseball lovers were given a rare opportunity to see the team that had routed the Gfants in the second battle at the Polo grounds. McGraw's men put up a desperate tight, but once again they were van quished. Score: Red Sox 5, New York 4. The game was played on a diamond which had been made slow and slippery by rains. The contest itself was not a brilliant one, but there were plenty of thrills which kept the fans on edge. The Red Sox had a lead of 4 to 1 when the Giants came to bat in the ninth inning. Charley Hall, who had pitched airtight hall up to this stage of the game, became as wild as a hawk and before things had quieted down the Giants had tied up the score. McConnell was the first man up for us in the ninth and he ingloriously fanned. Harry Lord made a desperate effort to knock the bail out of the lot. but his best effort was a high fly which McCormick gathered in. With two down in the ninth find none on. It looked very much like fxtra in nings. It was late in October 1 and the sun was low in the western sky. 1 feared that the game would be called inside of an inning or two, with tlie score a tie. Tris Wins the Game. It was Speaker's turn at bat. The I young Texan slowly walked to the I plate, swinging three heavy bats. Tris had done some wonderful batting and fielding in the first two games of the series, but had not got a single hit in the third game. "Spoke" was uncon cerned anil watched Crandall like a hawk as he sent a couple of fast ones sizzling across th< rubber. Tris finally picked one out to his liking. Bang! Crash! Ash and horse hide met and the ball sailed toward right field. McCormick made a great effort to catch the elusive sphere, but he failed and the ball rolled to the right field fence. The Giants' outfielder started in pur suit while Speaker started to circle the bases with the speed of a young deer. McCormick got the ball as Tris neared third and threw it to Lai ry Doyle, who had gone to short right field. Tris increased his speed and literally flea around the bases. Doyle relayed the ball to Crandall, who tossed it to j Sehlei. But it was too late. Speaker | had beaten the throw and victory was > ours. This gave proven that we were better hitters than the Giants. We gathered ten bingles off Ames and Crandall. I while the Giants got but seven hits oft ' J Charley Hall.

We scored our first rutt in the open ing inning. McConnell was given a free ticket to first base.' Lord laid a pretty bunt down the first base line. Merkle fielded the hit. but he threw wild to Ames, who was covering the bag. Mc- Connell took third on the play and scored a minute later on Speaker's out. French scored another run in the second. With one out. he singled and stole second as Hooper fanned. Hall then brought him home w ith a fine base hit. New York got busy in the third and scored a run on a lone base hit. Doyle was the first man up and he singled. Hall was unable to locate the plate fur Seymour and he was presented with free transportation to first. The best that McCormick could do was to lift a high fly to Speaker. Both runners ad vanced on the out. Doyle scored when Murray lifted a high fly to Hooper. AMERICAN ASS’N ENDS: MINNEAPOLIS IS WINNER CHICAGO. Sept. 34. The American as sociation yesterday closed its regular playing season with a game between Minneapolis and Milwaukee. .Minneapolis, champions for the last two seasons, clinched this year's pennant several days ago. President Thomas I’hivington said, all in all. the season just closed had been a prosperous one As to any possibility of expansion of the league during the coming year.

ARK . Sept. 24 —The regular fall meeting of the Southern league directors will be held In Birming ham December 15. There are several interesting subjects to be discussed, principal of which is the salary and player limit The Red Sox got busy with the war club in the sixth inning and sent two more men actoss the plate. Harty Niles started the run making with a single. French hit sharply to Ames. He tossed the ball to Merkle, but the latter lost it in the sun and Niles scored all the way from first when the ball rolled to the bleachers, while French took second on the play. Hooper was not to be out done by his mates and he singled, scor ing French. Giants Tie Up Score. Hall took a balloon ascension in the ninth inning and before things had quieted down the Giants had tied up the score. Larry Doyle, the head of the batting list, was the first man up and he was walked by Hall. Seymour made a mighty effort to do some ex ecution and slammed the ball to deep center field, where Speaker gathered it in. McCormick refused to aim at any bad ones and was rewarded with a base on balls. Doyle put the Giants in tlie running w hen he stole third, much to the chagrin of my boys. Hall could not get them over for Murray, but he did not pass him. "Red” tried to duck one of Charley's fast shoots, but in so doing he hit the ball weakly to Hall. The latter threw to Stahl, who lost the ball in the sun, like Merkle had done in the sixth, and Doyle scored. McCormick scored a minute later on a balk, while Devlin tied up the game by smashing out a rattling good single, which brought Murray home. Then came the ninth, when Tris Speaker’s big bat broke up the game as was described above. Sox Better Hitters. The first three games of the series proved conclusively that we were every bit as good a fielding team as the Giants and that we had a little on them when it came to hitting. The New York mound artists were supposed to be in a class by them selves. Before the series opened crit ics had claimed that Mathewson and Marquard would prove a puzzle to the Red Sox hitters, while Crandall, Ames and Wiltse would also cover themselves with glory. The Red Sox of 1909 were a young team. Few of the men had hud a great deal of experience in tlie big league, but they all knew how to play ball and were also true fighters. After the third game the series stood 2 to 1 in our favor, but well we knew that we would have to face Christy Mathewson on the morrow. Tlie New York players felt confident that "Big Six” was unbeatable, but somehow or other 1 felt that tliis mtgiity heaver was going to meet his Waterloo. In tlie next article 1 will show' how Ray Col lins, then fresh from college, lowered the colors of the greatest pitcher in the business. I COMMISSION MAY DELAY DRAFTING BIG SCHEDULE NEW YORK. Sept. 24. The meeting of the national baseball commission, scheduled here for tomorrow to arrange for the world's series with the idea that by that time it would be definitely known what clubs would be contend ers. probably will find the national league race still undecided. The New York Giants still need four games to assure them the National league pennant. It may be that Hie na tional commission will further delay definite arrangements for the world's series.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, jA |JOE AGLER W BE BACK HERE NEXT SPRING WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.- Billy Smith, the popular manager of the Atlanta baseball club, has induced ("lark Griffith to turn First Baseman Joe Agler back to the Crackers. Grist will not even give Agler a tryout in the spring. Gandil has played such swell hall for the Senators that Agler really didn't have a chance here.
