Here is the way I look at that Series between the Giants and the Red Sox: I do not believe that the Giants have a chance to win if many rims are scored. In that event the Red Sox will surely have the better of the argument. But if Tesreau can hold the Red Sox. then his pals will have a chance. If I wre managing the Giants I would start Tesreau in the first game, with one proviso, and that would be this If Tesreau can go In there and pitch in a world's cham pionship series without being ovc - comi by nervomness be Is the log ical pit'her Nov. , no one save Manager McGraw Is in a position to determine wlvihii tile big fel low Is likely to sutfoi from stage fright in whether lie is of the teni pertanent which will make it possi ble for him to go in there and pitch bis best with the large crowd pres ent and the stake a world's cham pionship Tesreau May Start Series.

Giants are going to hammc that ball to al' coiners of the lot and score a lot of runs That is t'ie reason that 1 make Tesreau the hinge upon whlca victory , defc; t will swing.

He tan go mil there and pitch the kind of hail w. cal’ "heady " But w liether he i- t lie fm tor to be de pended upon in several games of a series like the one which decides a world's series is a question in my mind. . Marquatd has disputed little since lie won his nineteen straight. I do not figure him an impo tant factm in tit, wot'd's , hampionship. Regard!' s of hoc. vou attempt to figure that series you must get right back t" the fact tha' Tes reau, the recruit, is the big factor from the Xew York end. Now, if Tesreau can pitch that first game and win it the chances of tile Giants ate very bright Be cause Tesreau is a giant in phys ique and a glutton for work In a short series like this and with the rest which he is certain to have before it begins, he could go on the mound and pitch four or fiv< games in a row Tht chances of the Giants in this series are consid vrau.y lessened by the fact that Tesreau is a teerult and a young ster. I think he possesses the nat ural ability to hold iiis own in any series of gam - I am judging hi worth by wltat lie lias displayed against us this s. tson More Than Base Running Needed. It is all well and good to talk about the base-running ability of the Giants. They can run ba«< s and that's admitted Rut then is h saying in hcseball tiiat you can't steal first base Before you <an run the ' bases you hav" to rra< h first. And the only way you can do that to any extent is by hitting the ball My opinion of the Boston pili hing staff, gained f om reading and from healing ball | layers talk, is that the men at'" mighty effect ive and not likely to allow many of of the opposing team to get on. 'that is the reason that t place so much emphasis on Tesreau. Be cause If the Boston pitchers hold and keep the Giants off the bases it naturally follows that the New- York twiriers also must be good and keep the Boston men off the paths. And Tesreau is the man to do it if it can be done. T< strati may emerge a hero and ho may come out with a reputation considerably soiled. Just the same, in this stage of the game he seems like the big hope. Mat hew son'- fast ball isn't work ing like if did in years gone by. He may pitch wonderful ball after a rest. But since I am asked to size up the situation as it appeals to me at the present time, I must do it in these words: In my opinion the Boston pitch ers will hold the New York batters. That means that the Nev? York pitchers must hold the Boston bat ters. Mathewson's experience. his he a dy pitching, may be a big as set, but it's my opinion that Tes reau, the youthful giant, is the man who will have to do it. I hcrefore, I pick the recruit as the most valuable man the Xew | Yorkers possess in this series for a world s championship and claim that hr is the man upon whofh the Giants must base most of their KETCHEL DOWNS KILBANE; WANTS WOLGAST'S GAME WINNIPEG MAN . oct. 1.

Fight Fans Lose Interest Under New York System •| NO DECISION BOUTS HAVE HURT BOXINfi GAME By Ed. \V. Smith. Chicago, ill.. Oct. 1. —Per- haps the loss of interest in the boxing game, now so no tieeabl*l in New York contests, may lie traced to the no-decision system tii.il pr- vails there. Toe system gives the fighters plenty of leeway . There is little chance for a dent in reputations if a man can stick the ten rounds and there is a good chance that a friendly critic or two might be Induced to give him an even btcak, thus enhancing his chances of getting other bouts. There is a false ring about the whole thing that isn't pleasing. In bouts where decisions are giv en it is an absolute certainty that the fighters will do their level best. Knowing that the contest is to go to a referee's decision, the fans naturally will feel more concern and interest in such a meeting than they would In a contest in which they feel that one man could stall pretty much all the way through without seriously hurting his reputation.

Boston Kids Build Tunnel to Get Into Red Sox Ball Park By Bill Bailey. Boston, mass, ort i.—Did y 'U ever stop to wonder what happened to the old-fashioned kid who shinned up over the fence at the ball park and saw the game for nothing? You know the type. Maybe In happened to have a quarter in his pocket. But it didn't got for a ticket. The chances were tha; he had nothing but a longing desire to see that ball game, some w<ll muscled toes that made it easy for him to climb the highest board fence ever built, and the most guile less face that was ever put on a youngster. He could look innocent when you knew he was guilty and prove his innocence if you gave him a chance, and maybe swear at you if you in sisted that he get out. • * • IirELL, that old-fashioned kid is * still in existence and doing business at the same old stand. The fact that they built ball parks of bricks and concrete and have walls of brick and stone didn’t interfere with him He passed out of your existence because you became prosperous enough to sit in the grandstand. But he is among those present at every ball game. Hero is one that Robert Alcßoy was telling. Mcßoy, you know, was formerly the secretary of the American league. Last winter he purchased an interest in the Bos ton Red Sox. "Don't ever get the impression that the concrete anti the brick walls make any difference to the kids," said Mcßoy. ’ “They'll get in all right. The only’ difference is that they have kept pace with the times and in stead of going over the fences tvhen they are difficult to climb they go under.” "Tunnel ?” • • • H’p t'N'N'EI. is right. I was stand ing a short distance from the general admission gates om Sat urday’ afternoon when 1 saw the GEORGIA ELEVEN READY FOR ITS OPENING GAME ATHENS, GA.. Oct.

This in all probability will he th" line-up that Coach Cunningham will put on the field for the first game of the season with the University of Chat tanooga here Saturday. Paddock, Wheatley and Henderson are the only new faces that appear. The other men saw service on last season's eleven. The Georgia team expects a pivtty stiff game from the Tennesseeans, and Cunningham will take no chances by sending in anything but his best eleven at the start of the game.

"A heavy rain had just fallen and 1 supposed that it was respon sible for the cave-in. Pretty soon 1 saw a pair of hands emerge and grasp at the sinking gio jml. Then it dawned on me. A kid had tun neled his way into the ball park. "Wei. wc got butty right away. We ran outside and fount! the en trance to the tunnel. We plugged tills and Wild the lads that the jig was, up. Pretty soon they began to emerge. There were seven of them there and we lined them up. " 'There's three more in there. ’ bowled one of the youngsters. The words were scarcely out of his mouth w hen another of the young sters swung on him. Which goes to show that it doesn’t pay to be even a young informer. "We yelled and shouted at the three, but they wouldn't come out. So we got a hose, turned on the water, swished it in that tunnel a few times, and out they came. ♦ ♦ ♦ \A7 HEN we began an invesliga- * tion. We have a board walk outside of Hie entrance, and this continues lor a short distance aft er you get in the park. It was-easy for them to tunnel under this. I suppose they tunneled a distance of five feel after leaving the walk. They Itad a hole there that w s plenty large enough for a young ster to erav I through on all fours.
