NEW TORK Oct 6 So far as the
numerical strength of tha pitching staff
of tha Philadelphia Athletics and Boston
' Braves are concerned, the rival leatcua
pennant winners will enter tha world's
series en equal terms. Each club has at
least alght pitchers who can bs called

that mere than M per cent of this horl-
tof staff will .step o tha mound during
the earning- diamond conflict. ,
Last year before the world's series be
' (an th only weakness In tho Athletics
' appeared to be in the pitchers' box. Plank
' and "Bender ware tho only twirl era who
could be counted upon with reasonable
certainty. Providing- Bender and Plank
have not lost any of their speed and cun
ning, and they have been consistent win
nefs throughout this year's American
league campaign. Mack is beter fortified
with pitchers than he was a year ago.
Besides th two veterans h haa Bush
Shawkey, Wyckoff, Pennock and Bresaler.
During the great spurt of th Athletics
in tha last half of July and all of August
when the team won thirty-nine out of
forty-five games, all these pitchers
worked Jn regular turn and pitched good,
steady ball.
Isaareaaed with Bresaler, .
Fans who have ben watching the work
of the Athletics have been impressed with
' th work of Bressler, the newest twlrler
on the team. Ha haa been as steady as
a clock, has great -speed and a puszling
croee-flr ball that has earned him the
titl of th second Eddie Plank.'.' The
Athletics will go into the series with none
of the twlrlers overworked. Th orfly
man who showed any sign of wear on
the last western trip was Plank. He has
since rested and la expected to be In his
old-t'me form. Coomha, although he ap
peared In a few of the final games of the
season. Is not likely to figure in the title
series, since he haa not .fully recovered
from his long Illness.- . .
' Th trfo of " pitchers whose "consistent
Work carried th Braves from last to first
place in th Tush for the National league
pennant Is expected to carry the twirling
burden for Boston in the games against
the Athletics. In James, Rudolph and
Tyler Btalltnga haa three hlgh-clasa hurl
erf. In the Braves' second string Strand,
Davis and Cochreham are fairly depend
able pitchers, providing their teammates
are hitting well, and It may be that one
or more of this trio may aeo service dur
ing th coining struggle. Hess and
Crutcher complete th Braves' regular
staff, but their showing this season has
not been above tha ordinary.

Zinn Beck, with the
Cardinals, Thought
: to Be Season's Find
CHICAGO,- Oct.- 7.-Zlnn. Beck, in
fielder with the St. Louts-Cardinals, Is
considered one of the -finds of the season.
Hla -contract -'probably would b worth
T10.000 In th open market end yet th
National commission had -to compel the
Cardinal club to tak him as a member
of Its team. Beck's case Is most unusual.
He was playing, with Wacg when two
scouts, on for Detroit and one for th
Cardinals. looked him over. Each de
cided to buy. but the Detroit scout
reached the Waco club owners first and
his offer of J1.000 was accepted. The St.
Louis gcout came late and made an offer
of $1,300. Th thrifty Waco people ac
cepted that one also. Th Scouts did not
know these circumstances when they
Journeyed together to another Texas
league town. Here they asked opinions.
offhand, and with no show of interest, j
aa to Beck. This rival Texas club owner
told them he wouldn't have him on his
tiam. Thereupon each scout tried to get!
from under and repudiate the purchase.
The dispute went to the National corn
mission.' It ruled that the first offer
accepted by Waco the .on from Detroit
was only verbal, and that the St. Louis
deal should be enforced. So the Cardinal
club took Beck with soma grumbling.
Now he is Miller Hugging' most valuable
infield proapoct. He has made good at
short and third and can play second or
first aa well if needed. H haa on of
the beat throwing arms ever seen In th
big show and is a timely hitter and a
sure fielder. Ha Is 25 years of as and
his home is In Anderson. Ind.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7. In ailing up a
candidate for ring honors It is usual to
lay' much stress upon the depth of hia
cheat, the spread of his shoulders and
the character of the muscles on his arms
and legs. But there Is 'on all-Important
point that Is Invariably overlooked. That
Is the aire and construction of hla hands.
Yet no boxer (ran hope to go far unless
his weapons are of the best;
Brittle hands aeem to have "been ' the
main cause of Ad Wolgast's troubles.
Wtolgaat'a weapons have been reduced to
a pulpy state from his long, hard bat
tles. He always was a desperate slug
ger, who took all sorts of chances of 'In
juring his knuckles by landing hla mad
swings on his opponent's skull or elbows.
Both his i hands have been broken so
often they will no longer stand the strain
of a twenty-round battle.
Charley White ia another who la handi
capped by weak hands. White is a more
careful boxer than Wolgast, but hla
hands are very delicately constructed
For this reason White may never prove a
great eucresa in long battles and the
fact jnay, con 'him the championship.
Willie . Ritchie, on the other hand. Is
gifted with a pair of fists that would not
look out of ' place on a heavyweight.
Ritchie owe much of hi 'success pri
marily to this' circumstance. It is one
of th reasons why he shows to better
advantage In long fights. As a general
thing a boxer's hands begin to weaken
after . ten rounds have been fought It
is then that- the man with the strongest
fists gains a tremendous advantage, and
many a hard-fought battle haa been lost
or won In. the closing r6unda when on of
the contestant was rendered helpless by
his hands collapsing under th strain.
Haads Not Soand.
Battling Nelson would still be doing
violent wrk in th ring if his hands
war still sound. To the last Nelson's
wonderful endurance haa remained, Intact.
Only this month Nelson took on a young
ster out west and outclassed him In a
lugging match, In which the veteran
wore down hia younger foe. Just as he
beat Gans, Britt, Young Corbett snd
others years sgo. But Nelson's hands
ar no longer fit for service now, snd as
a result he is nothing more than a punch
ing bag for men he could still defeat
were ha able to make hla blows count.
Leach Cross is a veteran who seams
to have little trouble with his hauOs. d'
spit his hard hitting. '-But Cross, unlike
Nelson or Wolgast, Is a very careful hit-
tar. When Cross lands all his knuckles
are In perfect alignment and the strain
Is divided equally, preventing any on
knuckle from being driven out of plac
In fact. Cross, although a poor boxer. Is
a very scientific hitter. Otherwise hi
ring career would bave come to an end
yeara ago.
It waa his battered maulers. In all prob
ability, that prevented Hob FitsMmmona
from ' winning back the championship
from Jim Jeffries in thalr second fight
Jeffries was outclassed In that battle and
could not have stood up under th
freckled warrlor'a assaulta If the latter'
fists had not been beaten to a. pulp, .It
was only after Fits was unable to strik
another blow that Jeffries came on and
won. In fact, it was aald at th tlm
that Fltzslinmons was not really knocked
out. but took a punch In the body and
quit rather than prolong the battle when
he no longer had a chance to win.
