Pre-Series Performance Does Not Predict Pennant Results What the Diamond Marvel May Do Against American League Slinging is Different from What He May Do Facing Nationals Menke.

By FRAXK G. JIEVKE Now is the time for all good men to rise up and quote statistics in an effort to show who's gonna win the world series of 1921. But what's the good of it? History showa it doesn't mean anything. What men do in the regular season of combat has nothing at all to do with the business of world serieslng. Just because a man wallops .400 against American League slinging. It doesn't mean he'll do anything of the sort against the pennant winning hurlers of the National. And just because a bloke has swiped a half hundred bases or so off National League catchers it doesn't follow that he'll do ditto In ratio to games played when performing against backstoppers from the other circuit.

and 1914. The lanky receiver of the Braves had made around .240 through the year. The figger hounds, therefore, didn't reckon he'd amount to much as a bludgeon whirler when the Braves arrayed themselves against the "peerless" Athletics. - But what Hank did with the hirknrv has written his name forever into the list of diamond hemes. H Ktnittpfl to-the firing line 11 times and smackea oui six lusty safeties. He emerged from the fray with a swatfinz mark of .545 which exceeded anything ever turned in before or since. And Hank numbered among his six hits a homer, a triple and three doubles the bent extra-base record for times at bat since seriesing became an aftermath of the baseball year. Peep into 1916. Hooper Springs Surprise. In that whole vear. which emhrared something like 150 games, Harry Hop per, me ouineiamg Kea soxer, had punched out exactly one home run. Therefore, no one in the wide, wide world expected him to do anything in the matter of four basing for the Red Sox. Yet in the final game of the struggle between the Phillies and the men from Boston, Hooper belted out two home runs, which won the game and the world's title for his team. Far back in 1907 when the Cubs were about to mingle with the Tigers in the blue ribbon classic of that year everybody told everybody else: "This bird Cobb is gonna bust up the series with his clubbing." Cobb, thereupon, hit for .200. - Cobb sot three chances tn the world series glory 1907, 190S, 1909. He blew thefn all. Great player that he is, he never disported true to form m me Dig event or the baseball year, thus provinz the fallacir of fibres in picking the winner. Unexpected Always Happens What happened in 1907, 1908, 1909, 1914 and 1915 has happened in every other series ever played. The expected rarely has happened. The unexpected always has transpired. Mighty stars have shone but dimly; the obscure have burst forth into radiant brilliancy. Some folks will argue that because the Yanks are hitting .305 and the Giants .295 that the Yanks have the clubbing edge. But there's no real logic in that because each team batted against different pitching and there's no telling how they might have averaged if conditions were reversed. Just because Carl Mays won 26 victories in the American League and made most of the opposition batters dizzy through their swinging efforts is no reason to assume that he positively will halt the Giant onrush. Nor is there any positive reason for the idea that Art Nehf will be as effective against the Yanks as he was against the men in the. Heydler circuit. So toss away the dope book; sling aside the figgers. They do not help they simply confuse in trying to determine the victor in a world series meiee. Copyright.

CROWDS KEEP WARM THROUGH CHILLY NIGHT OF WAITING BY DEBATING ON WHO WILL WIN

fRv Aso"!ate3 Prejf NEW YORK, Oct. 5. New York was awake early today to enjoy the initial game of its own world's series. Hours before the two teams, the Giants and the Yankees went to battle at the Polo grounds, crowds of fans from the four corners of the earth, were hurrying toward the park, hop - ing to gain admittance to the mecca of the baseball world. Some in fact did not sleep at all. At midnight several of them gathered at the entrances to Brush stadium, the first in line and the first in the Dark if thev did not fall aslen and awake to find some more alert fan in their place. By one o'clock about 50 of them were in line. Heading the line was Charles M. Kierst, 29, a fireman from Auburn, i N, Y, He said he had not missed a world's series yet and does not intend to. Behind him was Leslie Carpenter, a 15 year old high school lad from Jamaica, while- third in place was Joseph Jakoud. 26, also of Auburn, who came to New York with Kierst. The boy had managed to wiggle his way between the two upstaters and they were good enough sports to permit him to stay there. But perhaps it was just as well that Carpenter was second as he was a strong Yankee rooter, while Kierst was for the Giants, .so that the first two fans jn the park today were evenly divided in their sentiments as to the winner. Jakoud had hoped to make it "two straights" for the Giants. Find Night Cold It was a cold night for the waiting fans. A raw wind, accompanied by frequent showers, brought out overcoats, blankets, and even old newspapers to keep the enthusiasts warm. But the inclement weather failed to daunt them. They stuck to their posts like sentinels. Not a few brought their own sandwiches and hot drinksJ in vacuum bottles while others bought early breakfasts of "hot dogs" and coffee from venders, who did a lively business. The fans afoct were not the only ones among the early arrivals, a nuiriber af automobiles reaching the surroundingstreets soon after midnight. Drawn curtains indicated the occupants were asleep awaiting day-break and a chance to buy tickets. Do Thriving Business. Eoys did a thriving business selling small wooden boxes to those in line, so they could rest their weary bodies. But they had no use for them, as the police ordered the line occupants to destroy them soon after they were purchased. Even this did not peeve the fans. They complied willingly. Toward dayli.eht. as the crowd grew larger and the line longer, the police! had some arguments to settle, but no strenuous labor. Amonk the early arrivals was Miss May Abrams of New York, who, accompanied by her brother,, had intended to wait in line unitl the gates opened. But she changed her mind when it became chilly and left with her brother, their places being quickly taken by two more stout-hearted male waiters. Favor Giants. If the opinion of the bleacherites was any indication of the outcome of the games, the Giants will win. AH along the line the National leaguers were favored over the Yankees, yet those who supported the latter club made up in noise what they lacked in numbers. They proved good debaters on the fine points of the game, and this aided ia making the time feem shorter until daylight. And as one fan remarked, "It helped to keep them warm." Never in the V istory of world's series baseball were two teams so evenly! matched. Led by Ruth around whom' centers at once the series hopes of thej Yankees and the problem of the Giants, the Americans virtually slugged their way to the 1921 pennant. For Real BTPVPT DUNING'S

Botk Managers Confident

Before Big Series Begins, Their Statements Declare NEW YORK. Oct. 5. "I am confident but not cocky," declared Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees. "I am relying on the courage of my players and their general ability," said John J. McGraw, the Giants leader. Thus did the rival managers sum up their last minute opinions as they prepared to match their own wits and resourcefulness ia the opening game in the world's series at the Polo Grounds today "Confidence in a team like mine is justified," said Manager Huggins, "no matter what opposition it is to meet; but supreme assurance, the feeling that it is all over but the shouting, would be foolish with a club like the Giants looming up right ahead. The Yankees are going to encounter the Btiffest of opposition, but it is my con viction tnat they will prove able to overcome that opposition, for I think I have the strongest baseball team in the world. A game fine bunch of ball players, they are and they'll be out there giving the best they've got all the way. Giants All Ready. The Giants enter the series prepared to take advantage of any opportunity mai presents itseii, Dut minus any aennite plan of action, according to Manager McGraw. "It so often happens that a plan can not be carried out" the veteran Giant chief said. "I have found it to my advantage to wait for the game to progress and to make my plans as circumstances seem to dictate. "I cannot say who will go to the mound for the Giants for the first game the decision resting largely on how my pitchers shape up when the time arrives. While I may select Nehf because he is a left hander, there is no certainty about it and Douglas is just as likely to be the first pitcher for my club." them can be taken too lightly. Experts believe the Yankee batting order is one of the most formidable in series history. - And this is what Toney, Nehf, Douglas and other Giant moundsmen must face. Then the Giants. Frank Frisch at the third sack has no equal in either league. He is a veritable flash on the bases and his nickname "The Fordham Flash" was won thereby. On the defense Frisch shows remarkably and at bat he is a terror for any pitcher. Frisch hits -when hits are needed. He is the individual star of the Nationals. George Kelley the elongated Giant keeper of the initial sack, holder of the home run record in his league for the 1921 season, and Young and Burns and Banc-raft, with Snyder the regular backstop form a batting bunch that will give the Yankee pitchers their greatest trouble. The entire McGraw aggregation is noted for its daring on the bases and while they are not so likely to make long hits they j figure to make runs through resource fulness.

RUTH'S HITTING MARK IN SERIES IS LOW (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct 5. George Herman Ruth, chief circuit clouter of the universe and owner of a season's batting average of .378 entered the world's series today with a lowly hitting record for title series in which he has participated. The famous Yankee outfielder was a Boston Red Sox pitcher in the title games against Brooklyn in 1916 and also an incidental outfielder in the contests with the Cubs in 1918. In the first series he failed to get a single hit. Against the Cubs his hitting mark was .200. But these figures made before Ruth became a heavy hitter will not be used by Manager McGraw as a guide to his pitchers as to how to twirl to the Yankee home run champion. "I am not going to cross any bridges until I come to them." declared the Giant's manager, when asked how his hurlers proposed to treat Ruth at the bat. "But I can say,' "he added, "that we shall take no liberties with a slugger like Ruth." C1NCINNAT7 For More Pep, Use RICHMOND GASOLINE More Miles per Gallon Richmond Oil Co. 6 N. 6th and 6th and Ft.
