LEANS TOWARD NATIONALS AS SERIES CHOICE Gotham Scribe Says It’s Nearly Toss-up, However, Between Giants and Yanks. ANYTHING MAY HAPPEN FAIR A\D COOL. NEW YORK. Oct. 4.—The weather for the opening; game of the world series here tomorrow will be fair and cool, the Weather Bureau announced today. By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK. Oct. 4.—Picking a winner of the world series between the Giants and Yanks is a hazardous, almost foolhardy task to attempt. The Giants, judging them by all-round ability, have an edge on the Yanks, though it is all on paper. So a Giant victory in the coming series will not surprise the writer, though an out-and-out selection of McGraw's team is not being made here. No world's series in the last live years or so has offered such a mountain of uncertainties to the ‘‘dopester.” Both teams have their weak and strong points. Both are possessed of a territic punch. Each has proved that It can fight and win under tire. Weighed side by side they balance the scales pretty evenly. Pitching has decided most world series of other years. It may decide this one. If it does, the Giants are the best prepared to stand the strain of a hard series. A FEW "IKS' TO CONJCRE WITH. But what will the edge in pitching profit the Giants if the Yanks start to slaughtering the slants of McGraw's men. Or what if the prolific bats of the Giants, six of whom are ,3uo hitters, no matter whether Smith or Snyder is used behind the bat, crash through the offerings of Carl Mays and Waite Hoyt? Looking at it from this angle ability to make the hits count may have more to do with the decision in favor of the team that gets the fewer hits than stinginess on the part of stabbers. Babe Ruth, naturally enough, looms up as the big question mark for the Giant ?itehers to solve. Take him out of the ank line-up and New York fans would make the Giants prime favorites. The big Bambino may break up the best pitched bail game at any stage. Nobody know-s this any better than MoGraw, and it goes without saying Ruth will probably get a base on balls if the Giants ere in a tight pinch. It's all in the game and the Yank pitchers have the same prerogative. It can be said in favor of McGraw’s team that the Giants have a better seasoned and better primed pitching staff today than the Y'anks. In Nehf. Toney, Douglas and Barnes. MoGraw nas a mighty capable quartette. Behind these men are Sallee, Rvan and Shea. MAYS AND NEHF THE TWO STARS. Manager Huggins has ins one big act— Carl Mays—a game and brilliant young slabber in Waite Hoyt and a dangerous and wily veteran, when he is right, in Bob Shawke.v. But Shawkey isn't at his best. Old Jack Quinn, Harry Harper. Piercy and Collins stand behind these twirlers. The Giants haven't looked at a submarin * delivery such as Mays uses and undoubtedly will find it troublesome, but Art Nehf. in form, stands an even chance to take Mays’ measure. Compared to the Y'anks the Giants are superior in fielding and base running. They play a more diversified game on both attack and defense than the Men-o-Huggins. Once they start getting men on the bases McGraw will send them

Flood of Giant Coin

NEW \OKK, Oct. 4. — New York today made tts Giant* a favorite over it* Yanks to win the world series starting tomorrow at the Polo Grounds. Half a million dollars in Giant money, suddenly thrown on the betting market today, caused the odds to swing to 11 to lit on the National Leaguers. Most of the betting was done at the 'Jamaica race track and the Stock Exchange. around, for the Giants can run tiip sacks. The Yanks, on the other band, have the habit of slugging their n..-n around th sacks. Can they do it in this series? Figures for the season show five Yanks exeel in run-making but they have made but five more hits than the Giants and in a tight series the supposed bulge of the Hugmen at bat may fail to materialize. McGraw, as compared with Huggins, is a seasoned world’s series campaigner and a seven-time pennant winner in his own league. Asa strategist he has shown himself to be superior to the midget manager in the way he has handled hi< team this season. Huggins knows ball players and how to develop them but he is untried as a world series field general. The big series, from all indications, promises to be a battering affair Both teams will have their fighting clothes on Victory means something between $6,000 BSfd $7,000 apiece for the winning players, lid both are familiar with the rolo Grounds, so neither will have an edge In this respect. Also, the rivals will be playing to "home crowds” and each will have a world of support. McCraw has always been partial to the slugging game. The hit-and-run is his favorite method of attack, but he can mix ’em up when the occasion arises The science of slugging incidentally is a second nature with the Yanks, and players like Ruth, Peck. Meusel and Pipp are big stumbling blocks for any pitcher to face. Yet you never can judge what a player will do in a world's series by what he has done during the regular season. More often some comparatively obscure player turns up as a batting hero. So, no matter which way you turn in sizing up the rival teams, a stone wall of uncertainty confronts you. In comparing the regular players, man for man. the teams balance up pretty evenly, though the Giants are stronger in the box and behind the bat. COMPARISON OF THE IXFIELDERS. At first base with Kelly and Tipp to be considered, it looks like a stand-off IMpp has a shade in fielding and is a mighty dangerous batter. Kelly, from ■whose ashen war club singles, doubles, triples and home runs have bounced consistently ail season, is nearly as good a fielder and a heavier hitter. At second base Aaron Ward may be given a slight shade over Johnny Rawlings, but at shortstop Peck and Bancroft offer another standoff. Both are flashy fielders, good hitters and quick thinkers, who have had long experience. Frank Frisch ranks above McNally as third baseman. He is a better hitter and base-runner, and though he seems to require more effort in fielding hard-hit balls toward the hot corner, he gets 'em and he has a wonderful arm. In left field, Babe Ruth, because of his terrific macing, gets the call over Emfl Meusel. Meusel is the better fielder of the two, however, and a dangerous batter at all times. George Burns, one of the best fielders in either major league, and a wonderfully consistent hitter, outranks Kimer Miller of the Y’anks in center field. Miller fields practically as well as Burns, but he has not had the experience and he does not come un as a swatsman. Right field with Boh Meusel and Ross Young on patrol duty, offers another stand-off. Both Meusel and Young are consistently good in the right garden. Both can play balls hit off the high wall accurately and it is a coincidence that the last batch of batting averages showed them h’tting .325 apiece. In the catching department the Giants have the edge. Smith and Snyder, both hitting better than .320. are good. Itfg marks for pitchers, heady generals behind the bat and good fielders. Both can cut down runners at second with deadly regularity and the slow footed Yanks will do well not to tempt their arms. Schang, the veteran, and young Devormer are Huggins’ catching assets. Because of his long experience, Schang probably will catch every game for the Yanks and thus he stands practically alone against two of the best backstop tree’s in the National League,

Question For Fans Now Is How to Get Into Polo Grounds King Baseball Has Taken Firm Grip on Manhattan's Millions. By HENRY FARRELL, \ (l nited Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Oot. 4.—New York today was wrestling with the problem; How am I going to get into the Polo grounds? With the world’s series starting here tomorrow between the Yankees and Giants, the baseball lust took a firm grip on Manhatton. John Ileydler. president of the Nationa League, was pulling his hair and Uourishing a sheaf of telegrams: "There were eleven thousand boxes in Chicago and there are only 1.400 here. How can I take care of’ them?" he moaned. The rooters were faced with the alternative of going to the scalpers or journeying to Coogun’s bluff before sunrise an 1 standing in line until the fog lifts over the Harlem river. Every little detail for the series had been completed this morning. There was nothing else to do but to open the gates and put the players in their new uniforms. The umpires probably will get together today with the managers of the two clubs and decide upon uniform ground rules for the series. The rules of the two leagues vary only slightly. "The 'umpires have been appointed and every detail has been arranged. Looks to me like they’re all ready to play,” Heydler said today.

Crimson vs. Crimson to Be Close Affair, Predicts Eckersall

By wai,tf:k eckersall. (In The Chicago Tribune.) The interseotionul struggle between Indiar.a and Harvsrd at Cambridge, the first of importance of the season, and the clash between lowa and Notre Dame on the former's gridiron, will feature Saturday’s football games, although Chicago snd Purdue are slated to meet on Stagg field arid Minnesota ami Northwestern at Minneapolis. Although Harvard will take the field a favorite over the Iloosiers, tho Cambridge team will not be victor by a lop-sided score, If It is th winner at all. Harvard's 8 to 0 victory over Holy Cross last Saturday plainly showed rlarvard has not reached a high point of development. Coach Jumbo Stiehrn has been drilling his men for the Harvard game ever since the season opened. The men have engaged in two actual contests, and should be fit to stand the wear and tear of a bruising struggle. This ’year s Indiana eleven is stronger than the usual run of lioosier teams, and It will be fortified with numbers of trick play* and other formations expected to result In scores. Unless some sort of an agreement is reached between tho coaches forwarl passing may not have a bearing on the result, for both elevens wear Crimson jerseys. It is hard enough to pick out eligible receivers of forward passe* when different colored uniforms ure worn, but It will be next to Impossible for the passers to pick rfut their teammates in a sea of the same color. Under such conditions it Is customary for the home eleven to wear different colored uniforms, but It remains to be seen whether Harvard wdll do this.

INDIANA TEAM GROOMED WELL FOR TRIP EAST I. U. Appears About as Strong as Last Year as Harvard Game Nears. QUARTER JOB DOUBTFUL By HEZE CLARK, Staff Correspondent of The Times. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 4.—With Harvard as Indiana's uext opponent every follower of the grid sport wants to know what kind of a football team Coach E. O. Stiehrn has developed at Bloomington this year. The Harvard-Indiana affair to be fought out at Cambridge, Mass., Saturday is attracting nation-wide attention. Indiana has met some of the best Eastern teams in other years, but this is the first time that the Iloosiers have ever made an eastern trip. With the Franklin and Kalamazoo games tucked away by safe scores all attention is turned to the Harvard game. The Indiana coaching stall has a world of work to do in preparing the Hooslers for that big battle. The efforts of the coaches will not be directed so much on the team as a whole, but to improving the play of men filling certain positions. It is well known at Bloomington that the Harvard back field is wonderfully fast, and that the end running ability of the Eastern bucks will cause the Indiana wing men a lot of worry ana work. Harvard also has one of the strongest and best coached lines of any team in the country. This means a smashing attack. However, when the eastern teum meets Indiana they will find the Hoosier Une, tackle to tackle, far stronger, heavier and more experienced than Harvard found the Centre College line last year. Indiana Is not overlooking the educated toe of Charlie Buell, the Harvard quarter back, who won the Holy Cros* game with a drop-kick last year and again this season with a simitar field goal. The Indiana line Is being coached to hurry the kick. 1 FIVE ASSISTANTS HELPING STIEHM. Coach Stiehrn has flvo men who are helping in the coaching department and each man has certain work to do that will help In smoothing the Indiana grid ruuchine for the Harvard battle. Assisting Stiehrn are K. Minton. Jesse Fields. Lester Null, George lievis and John Davlsou The last-named was one one of the most famous linesmen who ever played ut Indiana, being guard on the powerful 1905 team, and later playing tackle at Wisconsin University. The game against Coach Young's Kalamazoo College eleven did not tell the story of the real strength of Indiana. The team went onto the field under orders not to open up or use a forward pass play. Coach Young guessed that order had been issued, for lie had “spot ted” a half dozen former Harvard players whom he had known in the East and who were watching Indiana from various points on the bleachers. Young knew that Indiana would never uncork an

aerial attack and he planned his defense accordingly. He tightened up his second Una defense until It recalled the style of defense used bark ill 1905, the last sea son before the forward pass was Introduced. The Kalamazoo defense was stubborn. and never has a little college team fought harder against a big university eleven than did the plucky Michigan aggregation, but the power of the Indiana attack could not be halted by Coach Toung's men. This spoke well for the drive of the Cream and Crimson athletes. The greatest fault with the Indiana team was the tendency of some of the men to fumble the ball. A horrible example of this occurred early In the game Saturday when one cf the four men used hv Indiana at the quarter back job fumbled The fumble reminded the critic of the type of fumbling often seen In high school games. The quarter back caught a punt and it was a good catch. Then he started to run He is fast and it was evident that ho Imagined he was so fast that he could run back, fumbling the ball on the sixyard line. Ho caught the ball on the twelve-yard line The Kalamazoo end fell on the ball. If this had happened in the Harvard game it would have heu a present of a touchdown to Harvard. There have been only two college quarter backs in the Central West In the last twenty years who have been fast enough to run back After catching a punt and then be reasonably sure of regaining the ground and getting away with a long run. Neither of these two ss>eed merchants have been at Indiana snd It Is on returning punts that the Indiana back field men need a lot of work. To be sure Kalamazoo did not score. The Michigan team lacked the power against that stone wall defense of the Bloomington team, but the fart that Coach Young's men failed to score was not because they did not g*-t the chance given them by a fumble made by a back field man who ran back In the direction of the goal line he was defending. Running in the wrong direction won’t work against veteran ends like Harvard has thia season, and It Is a sure bet that the coaches will tell the Indiana backs a whole lot of things this woek. 810 HOIK IS AT QUARTER. Indiana has a big problem to fill the hole left by Mathys at quarter. The other Indiana back field men on straight football showed all that could be asked on defense, but at times failed to break up a rather clever aerial attack of Kalamazoo Harvard, however, has never been famous for the overhead forward passing gams, and tho Indiana defense is more of tho type that will work well against

AS ZERO HOUR APPROACHES

NEW YORK, Oet. 4.—Pre-battle statements of prominent members of the Y'anks and Giants were in order today. BABE RUTH, home run king and pivot man of the Y’anks, said: "I feel sure we will win the series. We’ll outhit ’em. We’ll go after McGraw's pitchers from the start. There'll be no fussing around or waitin’ 'em out. We won the American League pennant by consistent slugging. Well beat the Giants the same way.” MILLER HUGGINS, manager of the Yanks, opined: ‘The Yanks will triumph in the world’s series. They are a gseat bitting and great fighting hall chib. Confidence is half the battle, and they are filled with it. The Giants nave a great club, but I feel the Y'anks are greater in a short series.” ROGER PECKINPAUGH, captain of the Y'anks, said; "o>ur club has the punch necessary to win a world

Harvard than against a team that uses the more open style of play. From tackle |to tackle Indiana is strong. This is the most necessary thing against Harvard's style of play. Ross and Goodman, centers, appear to be the best mea playing that position at Indiana in a number of years. Both are fast and play a good game at open center. Unfortunately, Fleming, a big 209pound guard, was injured and may be kept out of the Harvard game. Cox was sent in. Cox is a former Indianapolis Manual Training athlete and his play at guard would indicate that the loss of Fleming has not weakened the Indiana team. MeCaw. a veteran lineman. is in Indiana's other guard. He is one of the best in the West. Clay and Boggs were also used. Leonard, a big. rangy tackle, is the type of lineman who 'would hold his own | against any opponent. When he charged against Kalamazoo lie opened up great | holes on offensive and the Michigan backs always found that I.eonard was too ■ strong for them on defense. France and McCool both worked at the other tackle ! job and both are linemen of exceptional ability. It will not be the Indiana Une I that will worry the coaches this week. With the fast running Eastern backs I to stop, the burden of the defense rests [on the Indiana ends. Hanny is the class of the four end men. Big. tall, powerful I and fast he is an experienced football I player There Is every reason to believe I that few will be the yards gained by | Harvard on Hanny’s side of the line. Not only that, but he is a wonderful man at I carrying the ball and he will give any of the Harvard grid men trouble in stopping him. Eberhardt was used in part of the game Saturday. lie Is a good relief man for Hanny. Donovan and Bell worked at the other end. It is this wing that the coaches must devote much time to Improving this week. Both of these men, however, are big enough and both are fast enough and by Saturday either one of them will have been given considerable experience in halting Harvard's style of end attack. RAYMOND GOOD IN OPEN FIELD. The best ends In the country would not be strong on defense unless they yv.-re barked up by good half backs. Burke and Maynard appear to be Indiana’s regular half backs Bo‘h are good defensive men. although there vvre times when they failed to break up the Kalamazoo forward passes. Asa rule, however, the Michigan offense was not strong enough to worry these half backs. These men are good at giving Interference. but neither is what might be termed an open field runner when carrying the ball. However, Indiana has a man yvho Is just that—an open field runner. Raymond. a tall, speed merchant, got into the game In the second half and at the first chance he had to carry the ball ne twisted and dodged past and outran every opponent, showing what was the best bit of open field play of the entire game. He is the type of runner yvho is hard to catch for he has unusual speed. He had almost no chance to show his defensive ability. Thomas, Bean and B.ihr all had a chance at half back and all are good defensive men and on offense hit hard, but none showed like Raymond in running with the ball.

After all. the real strength of the Indiana hack field is Oapt. John Kyle. A mal leader, he has the confidence of all the Indiana football men, the coaches and the.students. Kyle is the best full back in the State and one of the best in the country. He hits a line like a battering ram. He tackle* sure and hard, and gives his teammates all kinds of Interference when Indiana has the ball. Harris worked for a time at full back whPo Gaptaln Kyle wat -bed his men from the side lines The quarter back is the position that Is worrying Coach Stiehrn. Four men were tried Saturday and while they ran the team fairly well, there was a tendency of at least two of these men to fumble. This may not be their fault altogether. The other backs may be to blame in part The defense of the quarter backs was never tested Saturday, for Kalamazoo did not get that far down the field. There was one thing that these men failed to do and that was bring at least one punt back for a long return. The Kalamazoo ends were fast and went down under the kicks In good style, hut just the same the twisting, dodging runs of the wonderful Mathys were missing. Burnett. Wilkins, Burk and Landis all worked at quarter Saturday and one Is about as good as the other. Burnett started the game and it is possible that he may get first chance against Harvard. Asa whole the Indiana team appears to be about as Btroug as last year, and In a game where the Hooslers open up a forward pass attack, as they will do against Harvard, Indiana may prove far strouger than last season. There is one thing sure and eerfaln. Harvard will get a real battle next Saturday at Cambridge for the men have the lighting spirit at Indiana and tho Hooalera will be hard to stop even for the powerful Harvard defense.

Local High Schools Take on State Clubs in Week-End Games Dope on Technical and Shortridge Available After Eluood Contest. With the local high school football race having reached the stage where each week one of the Indianapolis schools meets an eleven that has already played one of the other two the games from now on promise to be mighty interesting from the viewpoint of the dopester and the contests set for the coming week-end are no exception. Technical will play its first away fromhome game Friday, meeting Elwood High at Elwood. Only last Friday Shortridge battled out a 7 to 0 victory over that team, so the coming contest is certain to give local dopeeters their first direct chance to figure on the city championship. Graham, star Tech half back, who has been out of the game for several weeks with a couple of bruised ribs, may be able to enter the contest Friday and his presence is sure to bolster the Tech attack to a great extent. It has developed that Bob Nipper, captain of the team, who has been out of the game with a supposedly badly sprained hand, is suffering from a broken bone in his hand and may be out of the game for the rest of th<> season Nhortrldge will also play ou foreign territory this week end, meeting Brazil there on Friday. Little is known about the strength of the Blue and White opponent this year, but Shortrldge backers were more than satisfied with the first appearance of their hopefuls against Elwood and they can see nothing but a victory in the coming contest. Manual, with two decisive victories chalked up out of as many starts, will entertain the home fans this week, meeting Richmond High on Irwin field Friday afternoon. The showing made by the Red and White In the first two games of the season has made a favorable impression on local critics and the south side eleven will be a slight favorite over Richmond when the two teams line up for the kick off. Manual's trick in defeating the Wabash team has sent its stock sky high.
