GIANTS PLAYING OLD SYSTEM

Number of Pennants Won by Red Sox by Trimming Main Rivals —Me- * Graw Doing Same Thing. The Red Sox won a number of pennants by trimming their main rivals—the Tigers and White Sox —consistently. They- might blow a few ignoble pastimes to others, including second division clubs, but when they struck these two teams they struck with winning force. The Giants have adopted much the same system this season in regard to the Cubs. McGraw has always figured Chicago the te&mM had to beat. Cincinnati may cross him in regard to this conclusion, but that is the way he had it doped out. The Cubs are not out of it by any mean 0 , but they con hardly hope to beat the Giants out as long as the Giants Insist on tearing them apart each time they meet When a victory f brings a double reward in the percentage column, lifting one club as it poshes the other down.
