But Tesieait is the key to suci <■.-■ ivh< n vii io-d from the standpoint of the New York ( 1 s Here is the way I look at that series between the Giants and the Red Sox: I do not behove that the Giants have a chance to win if many runs 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 1 were managing 1 hi' Gianls 1 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 nve come by nervousness he is the log leal pitcher.

Tesreau May Start Series If McGraw figures that Tesreau can pitch his best article of ball re gardless of the stake, then lie Is tip man to start in the first game I have a most wholesome respect for the pitching staff of Juke Stahl 1 do not believe that the Giants arc going to harnnu that ball to all cornet s of the lot ami s, or. a lot of runs. That is the tea-on that I make Tesreau the hinge upon which victor; or defeat will swing Ke, HUSO if it < onics to a series of games in which runs are scarce I’esreau is the man who will have to carry the New York club Math ewson is smart He is experienced. Hr < an go out there and pitch the kind of ball we call 'head; " But whether he i- the factor to he de pended upon in Several games of a series lik, the one which decides a world's series is a question in m; mind. Marquarri lias displayed little since he won his nineteen sttalght. I do not figure him an hnpo'tant factor in the world - championship Regardless of how you attempt to figure that series \ou must get right back to th< fact that Tes reau. the recruit, is th' big factor from th. New York end Now. if Tesreau can pitch that first game and win it the chances of the Giants an veiy bright Be cause Tesreau is a giant In phys ique and a glutton for uvrk In a short series like • • and we t e rest which he i- certain to have before it begins, be coital go on the mound and pitch four or live games in a row. Th-- eham , s of the Giants in this series are consid erably lessened In the fact that Tesreau is a ecruit and a Young ster. f think he possesses the nat ural ability to hold his own in tn series of games. I am judging I s worth by what he has displayed against us this season. Mo<e Than Base Running Needed. It is all well and good to talk about the iiase-running' ability of the Giants They can run bases and that's admitted. Rut then is a saying in base be" that you (an't steal first bas< Before you can run those bases you have to reai 1 first. And the only wa; you can do that to any extent Is by hitting,th< hall. My opinion of the Boston pitching staff, gained f uni reading and from heating ball players talk, is that the men are mighty effect ive and not likely to allow many of of the opposing team to get on. l icit is the reason that I place so much emphasis on Tesreau. Be eati. e if the Boston pitchers hold and keep the Giants off the bases i: naturally follows that tip- New York twirlers also must be good and keep the Boston men off the path.-. \nd Tesr<at! is the man to do it if it can bis done. Tesreau may emerge a hero and he may come out with a n putation ■ onsi.lera bl; soiled. Just the same, at Illi-- stag • of the game he seems like the big hope. Mathewson's fast ball isn't work ing liki it did in years gone by. He m.ii pitch wonderfm ball after a fest. But since I am asked to size up the situation as it appeals to me at the present time, I must do it in tile.-, words. In my opinion the Boston pitch ers will hold the New York batters. That means that the New York pitchers must hold the Boston bat ters,. Mathewson s experience. his heady 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. Therefore, I pick the ie, i uit us the most valuable man the New \ in k' is possess in this series for a worlds championship and claim that ho is the man upon whom the Giants must base most of their hop, .

C~A Hlf'AGO, 11J..., Oct. 1 Per haps the loss of Interest in the boxing game, now so no ticeable in New York contests, may be traced to the no-decision system that prevails there. The 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 bleak, thus enhanoing his chances of getting other bouts There is a false ring about the whole thing that isn't pleasing. In bouts where decisions a. ■ giv en it is an absolute certainty that the fighters w ill do their level best. Knowing that the contest is to go to a referee's decision, the fans naturally w ill feel more com ern and interest In such a meeting tian they would In a contest in which they feel that one man could stall pretty much all th,- way through without seriously hurting his reputation.

But the New York fans seem to be tired or something else is wrong with the whole situation. It's a fact, however, that the box ing game, in common with many other sports, needs to be rested up for a time.

And as Papke intends to go to Paris in a short time under the management once more of Al Lippe, there is but a slim chance of seeing these two good fighters together.

Boston Kids Build Tunnel to Get Into Red Sox Ball Park By Bill Bailey. Boston, mass., oct. I.—Did you ever stop to w onder 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 h happened to have a quarter in his pocket. But it didn't got for a ticket. The chances were that he had nothing but a longing desire to see that ball game, some well 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 young.-ter. 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. • * * 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 1s among those present at every ball game. Here is one that Robert Mcßoy 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 and the bric k walls make any difference to the kids,” said Mcßoy. "They'll get in all right. The only difference is that th-y have kept pace with the times and in stead of going over the fences when they are difficult to climb they go under." "Tunnel ?" • * • “ F J W I .X’XEL is right. I was stand •ng a short distance from the general admission gates on» Sat urday afternoon when I saw the GEORGIA ELEVEN READY FOR ITS OPENING GAME ATHENS.

It has become known that the accident Murphy bad ha left him with a stiff leg. Connie Mack acknowledged today that it did not seem likely that Murphy will be able to pUi ground suddenly give way and go down. “A heavy rain had just fall n and I supposed that it was re'spor sible for the cave-in. Pretty soot I saw a pair of hands emerge arit' grasp at the sinking ground. Then it dawned on me. A kid had tun neled his way into the ball park. "Well, we got busy right away. We ran outside and found the en- i trance to the tunnel. We plugged I this and told the lads that the jig ( vas up. Pretty soon they began ■ to emerge. There were seven of them there and we lined them up. " "There’s three more in there." howled one of the youngsters. The words were scarcely out of his mouth when another of the young sters swung on him. Which goes to show that it doesn’t nay to be even a young informer. "We yelled and shouted at the three, but they wouldnit come out. So we got a hose, turned on the water, swisited it in that tunnel a few times, and out they came. ♦ ♦ * W ne ,K ’gan an investiga tion. We have a board walk outside of the entrance, and this continues for 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 feet after leaving the walk. They had a hole there that w s plenty large enough fop a young ster io crawl through on all fours.
