Chicago, oct i.—" Big" Jeff Tesreau, the spitball pitcher, looms up as the hope of the Giants in their series with the Red Box for a world’s championship If Tesreau falls to come through I can see no hope for McGraw’s men. If Tesreau does come through, then the Giants will stand an ex cellent chance of winning the world's championship Mathewson may pitch a. good game. Marquand, in my estima tion, isn’t likely to Rut Tesreau Is the key to success when viewed from the standpoint of the New Yorkers 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 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 I were 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 over come by nervousness he Is the log ical pitcher. Now. no one save Manager McGraw is In a position to determine whether the big fel low Is likely to suffer from stage fright or whether he is of the tem perament which will make it possi ble for him to go In there and pitch his beat with the large crowd pres ent and the stake a world’s cham pionship Tesreau May Start Series. If McGraw figure,-, that Tesreau can pitch his best article of ball re gardless of the stake, then he is the man to start in the first game I have a most wholesome respect for the pitching staff of .lake Stahl. I do not believe that the Giants ate going to hammer that ball to all corners of the lot and score a lot of runs That is the reason that 1 make Tesreau the hinge upon which victory or defeat will swing Because if it comes to a series of games In which runs are scarce Tesreau Is the man who will have to carry the New York club Math ewson Is smart He Is experienced. He can go out there and pitch the kind of ball we call "heady ” But whether he is the factor to be de pemdod upon in several games of a series like the one which decides a world's series Is a question in my mind Marquard has displayed little since he won tils nineteen straight. 1 do not figure him an important factor In the world's championship Regardless of how you attempt to figure that series, you must get right back to the fact that Tes reau. the recruit. Is the big factor from the New York end Now, if Tesreau can pitch that first game and win it tin chances of the Giants are 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 five games in a row The chani-s of the Giants in this series are consid erably lessened by the fact that Tesreau is a recruit and a young ster. I think he possesses the nat ural ability to hold bls own in any series of games lam judging his worth by what he has displayed again-' u- till- season More Than Base Running Needed. It is all wel and good to talk about the bus.-running ability of the Giants They ,an run bases and that's adm tted. But there Is a I saying in i. . ball that you < an't st<a first b.is' Before you can rim those I ... - ?I , u ha ve to reach first And the 0r... way you can do that to any extent is by hitting the ball My opinion of the Boston pitching staff, gained from reading and from hearing 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. That is the reason that 1 place so much emphasis on Tesreau. Be cause If the Boston pitchers hold and keep tho Giants off the bases it naturally follows that the New York twirlers 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. Tesreau may emerge a hero and he may come out with a reputation considerably soiled. Just the same, at this stage of the game he seems like the big hope. Mathewson's- fast ball isn’t work ing like It did in years gone by. He may pitch wonderful bull 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 New York pitchers must hold the Boston bat ters. Mathewson’s experience, Ais 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. Therefore, ] pick the recruit as the most valuable man the New Yorkers possess in this series for a world's championship and claim that he is the man upon whom the Giants must base most of their hope.

Fight Fans Lose Interest Under New York System NO DECISION BOUTS HAVE HURT BOXING GAME By Ed. \V. Smith. Chicago, ill., oct. l—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 break, 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.

Even championship contests with a strong international flavor are not doing well in Gotham towrn. Eddie McGoorty didn't get fat financially through his feat of whipping the Australian and Brit ish stars, Dave Smith and Jack Harrison. On paper and in ad vance better bouts than these could hardly’ have been asked for. Yet they didn’t draw. The mid dleweights, it is true, received sev eral black eyes In recent bouts in New’ York because of the sheer mediocrity of their performances. And this same Eddie McGoorty was one of those who contributed to the general feeling of disgust at the middleweights because of his so called Indifferent showing with Bob Moha, the Milwaukee strong man.

But the New York fans seem to be tired or something else is wrong w’ith the rvhole 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. The promoters there have been running It summer and winter, and it is small wonder that even the most attractive of cards f ills far below’ the expected mark ' vhen the dollars are counted. Billy Papke made his first ap pearrnce of the season against Jack Denning in New York the other night and as a majority of the re ports say that Billy worked pretty wrell against his seasoned opponent we are forced to take that view of it. It looks very much as if Papke is the only one of the middle weights w’ho will be given a coun try-wide chance against Eddie Mc- Goorty now in the race for the middleweight title. 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. —■— - - Horace Fogel tries to be a press agent of the Charley Murphy stamp, but he doss not do it as well.

Boston Kids Build Tunnel to Get Into Red Sox Ball Park By Bill Bailey. Boston, mass., oct. i.—Did you ever stop to wonder what happened to the old-fashioned kid who shinned up over the fence at the bail park and saw the game for nothing? You know the type. Maybe hr 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 w r as ever put on a youngster. He could look Innocent when you know he was guilty and prove hls 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. Here is one that Robert McKoy 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, 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 when they are difficult to climb they go under.” "Tunnel?” • » » . fiTUNNEL is right. J was stand ing a short distance from the general admission gates one Sat urday afternoon when 1 saw the GEORGIA ELEVEN READY FOR ITS OPENING GAME ATHENS. GA., Oct. I.—Bowden, left end: Harrell, left tackle; Malone, left guaid; Henderson or Wood, center: Lucas, right guard; Peacock (captain), right tackle: Parrish, right end: Cov ington. quarter back; McWhorter, right half; Paddock, left half; Wheatley, full back. This in all probability will be the 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 pretty 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. MURPHY MAKING PLANS TQ GO-OUT AS SCOUT PHILADELPHIA, Oct. L—Danny Murphy, captain of the Athletics, prob ably never will be able to play baseball again, but he will retain his connection with the Athletics in the capacity of a scout. It has become known that the accident Murphy had at Chicago has left him with a stiff leg. Connie Mack acknowledged today that it did not seem likely that Murphy will be able to play. ground suddenly give way and go down. “A heavy rain had Just fallen and I supposed that it was reaper sfble for the cave-ln. Pretty geon I saw a pair of hands emerge and grasp at the sinking ground. Then It dawned on me. A kid had tun neled hls way Into the ball park. "Well, we got busy right away. We ran outside and found the en trance to the tunnel. We plugged this and told the lads that the jig was up. Pretty aeon 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 pay to be even a young Informer. "We yellted 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 • • • HI HEN we began 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 was ■ plenty large enough for a young ster to crawl through on all fours It was too near the surface, how ever, and the heavy rain caused the cave-ln w’hlch resulted in the detection. Those kids still go over the fence Mcßoy told one story of a bunch of youngsters who climbed the side of the new grandstand. Some of hls companion* went the distance, but one fellow got to a position where he couldn't go on and he couldn't come down They rescued him with the aid of lad ders. So the old-fashioned kids haven't disappeared. They’re still getting in without paying their way, and the baseball men have an idea that they always will. TEAMS NEED MEN TO MIX ’EM UP. SAYS YOST ANN ARBOR, MICH., Oct. I—"A good quarterback who knows how to mix his plays and can open up the game when he needs to will do a lot for the team under the new rulas,” said Coach Fielding Yost recently. "A straight plunging game will not do. and a heavy team will not have the ad vantage that so many seem to think "Os eourse, the unrestricted forward pass will help a lot, but a proper mix ture of the old style plunging tactics and the newer open game will product the re sult. “Four downs will help a lot, but you still have two and a half yards to gain 1111 a down, and under the old rules there were many times that a team couldn t make the yard and two-thirds it needed to make Its distance.” Henry Curtis, famous lineman back in 03 and 'O4, has been obtained as assistant coach In place of Curt Redden, who could not return this year. Only seven men showed up today for early practice and some of last years stars have not yet sent word that they will be here, although all but McKinnon are expected. Os l* 9t year's team only Torbet, end and half, and Barton, end. are here, although "Bub bles” Patterson and Guard Quinn are ex pected tonight. BLOCK GETS NEWSPAPER DECISION OVER GIBBS NEW ORLEANS.
