If this is so, „ then those Red Sox hitters are go t g to have a heap of trouble In winning The Giants infield looked great to me. Merkle covers an unlimited amount of territory. J did not like the way he looked at the plate, however. Ragon, who pitched for Brooklyn, fooled him easily on a ninkv low curve ball. But Merkle su-e can lambast the fast ones in close. Doyle is every bit as good second b,i«»man as 1 had heard. I look for him to be one of the sensations of he series. That boy has no weak ness with the bat. They tell me that he can hit a southpaw as easy t, a right-hander. And I guess he ran for he rides with the pitcher and stings the ball right on the nose. Fletcher played a fair game Sat urday To his 'right or left he covers a lot of ground, but I don't believe he has the happy faculty of getting hold of slow rollers. He doesn't come in fast enough. McGraw has a fine ball player in Herzog. He made a couple of fine pick-ups of hard hit grounders Sat urday. but he doesn’t seem to pos sess much of an arm. At least, it didn't show any snap Saturday. He gets the ball away very fast, how ever. and this may make up for the lack of speed behind the throw Herzog certainly does look sweet RACING ENTRIES AT TORONTO.

I'ig league players will look out for '' p orgian at the games- Marquard, Mey- Carrigin. So well are these men known with the stick. He does not bite at the bad ones and the Boston hurl ers will have to put the ball over the plate for him or he'll walk. Murray is by far the best out fielder on the New York team. He Is one of the best defensive ga.den ers I ever saw' in action. He made a swell running spear of a low liner Saturday that was the equal of any catch I ever saw. And he sure has a wonderful arm. During the practice before the game he made a line throw from deep right center that came up to Meyers as though ft had been shot out of a rifle. Murray Should Hit. I look for this red-headed out fielder to do some tall hitting in the series. Last fall against the Ath letics in the title games he failed to connect for a safe hit and he was panned to a fare-ye-well. But he is hitting hard and timely now. and Saturday he impressed me as the best man at the plate on the team, possibly barring Doyle. Devore is an erratic performer, and they tell me that he can't do a blessed thing against a left-hander. He is fast as greased lightning, but he Isn't to be compared with Mur ray. Snodgrass. I had heard, isn't much of a thrower. Well, he sure made a chuck home Saturday that was a marvel. The ball sailed up to the plate from deep center on a line. He looks clumsy at times, but he covers much more ground than one sitting in the stands would think. He takes a long, free swing at the ball; in fact, 1 believe he would do better if he choked his bat a trifle. FODDER FOR FANS Catcher Snyder, of the Cardinals, is a San Antonio lad. He went to the Cards from the Fly nt club. « • • The pathway of yellow sand leading from the pitcher’s mound to the home plate at the Mobile ball park will be covered over with sod before next season begins. Experts believe that the diffi culty in following the ball up this path way with rhe eye has been the cause of the poor hitting in Mobile e ♦ * The coming world's series will not be ■lnn McAleer’s first. He plaved with the winning Cleveland team back in the Temple cup series of 1895. - * • Ten to one you can't pick the ‘’hero" of the world’s series—and no takers. No body would have picked Adams. Baker or Rohe. But they were h. •» * a Sam Crane, ball player of the neolithic age. now special writer of The New York- Journal, has just told for the first time how his baseball career ended. He was with Detroit when he fell into an awful batting slump. Two hits was his limit in forty times at bat. Then, without warning, he hit a home run. The club directors met at once, reasoned that only drink could have wrought such a change. VANDERBILT GETTING READY FOR CONTEST WITH GEORGIA’S 11 NASHVILLE. TENN.. Oct. 7.—Van derbilt begins this week definitely pre paring for the Georgia game, which is to be played in Atlanta on October 19. That will be Vanderbilt's first hard game, and McGugin is going to make every' effort to have his men in first class fighting shape when he puts them up against the squad turned out by his old pupil. Cunningham. Georgia came to Dudley field last year and gave the Commodores the hardest tight of the year, with the single exception of Michigan, and the local players are looking for the same sort of thing again this year. So far, McGugin has used his regu lars very little, either in practice or in the games with Bethel and Maryville colleges. The same tactics will be con tinued in the Rose Poly game, which comes next Saturday. The Saturday after that, though, will come the hard fight, and McGugin hopes to send in his list of first string men. uninjured and fresh, against Georgia. However, although the Commodores are expecting their first hard fight and one of the very hardest of what prom ises to be a hard season, they hope to win the game. med. 109; Dr. Duenner, 112.

Meyers caught part of the game Saturday. He is a great backstop, and how he does pickle the pellet'. He was up three times and slam med out two swell singles. This is the man Connie Mack has tipped off Boston to watch the closest. Mack says he is the best pinch hit ter in the National league. ARMY ORDERS WASHINGTON.
