Mart, and Chicago got away to a
one-run lead in the first intiiiiis. Then
Coveleskie nettled down, but in the
fourth he lost control and Hooper
was passed. Sheely hit to left for
two bases, scoring Hooper. A quick
d6ul1e play by Gardner and Sewcil
nnd Mulligan's fly to Gardner ended
the inning.

the fifth, when Gardner opened with
a single and Sewrll followed with
another safe hit. Burns fanned and
Faber walked O'Neill, filling the
. bases, Coveleskie's long fly to
Hooper acored Gardner after the
catch. Jamitson's single to right
scored Sewell and when Wambs
ganri singled to center O'Neill

3y FREDERICK O. LIEB
HAT chance has the
National league to
r?ore a victory in
: le world's series
this year? That is
the-question cf the
hour, (And there is
no gainsaying that
the National league
has been a Patsy
bolivar tor taking world's series pun
ishment. The parent major league
has won only two series since 1909,
and one of those was the crooked
series thrown by the White Sox in
1919, a scries in which the dope indi
cated easy victory for the Chi
cago Americans. ;
In sizing up the Giants, wc want
to go on record as saying that Mc
Graw's club probably is the best
club entered into the' world's series
by the National league since the
Braves scored their notable victory
of 1914. Some call it McGraw's,
best base ball club, but that is an
exaggeration. The present club has
no Mathewson nor McGinnity, not
even a Marquard or a Tesreau. :
A year ago the Brooklyn Dodgers
were a rather mediocre club with a
great pitching staff. Brooklyn can
win jf its pitchers can carry It
through," was the leading dope held
out for National league tans a yea
ago. ,- '
This year the opposite is true. The
Giants have a good chance to win if
their twirlers can hold up, ? How
ever, in the aggregate the Giant
pitchers are no worse or no better
than the twirlers of the Yankees or
Indians. It has been a bad year for
pitchers all around, Stars in 'both
leagues have been obliged to take
their bumps all season,
The Giants have a fast-working
infield, a corking outfield and two
high-class catchers. MeGraw has
stars at first, short and first, respec
tively, in George Kelly, Davey Ban
croft and Frankie Frisch. Johnny
Rawlings at second doesn't rate as
high as the others, but has improved
with a player like Bancroft beside
him. Rawlings and "Banny" have
developed into a splendid double
play combination. : i
a Meusel, Burns and Young, an alt
.300 hitting outfield, gives the Giants
a terrific punch in the outposts. All
three know how to punish a base
ball. Burns and Young both are fly
hawks, and though Meusel isn't as
nimble an outfielder as his two run
ning mates, Emil is a fairly able de
fensive player.
In Smith and Snyder, the Giants
have perhaps the best , balanced
catching staff in the major leagues.
There are better catchers than either
earl or Frank, but no club is
equipped with two catchers of such
high trrade. By using Smith, a left
handed batsman, against right-handers,
and Snyder, a right-handed hit
ter, against the southpaws, Me
Graw is able to throw his full bat
ting strength into each game without
interfering with the catching effi
ciency of his team.
The Giants have a dangerous ver
satile attadr, a sort of combination
of the old base-running tactics of
McGraw's National league cham
pions of 1911, 1912. and 1913, and
the slam-bang attack of the modern
Yankees. The Giants can play the
hit and run game and play it well,
and they also can do their share ot
slugging. They don't hit them quite
as far as their New York Ameri
can league brethren, but - MeGraw
has quite an efficient home run col
ony of his own.
No National league pitchers will
deny that George Kelly can smack
'era. George had 22 homers up to
Labor day. while the catching de
partment, Snyder and Smith, had 17
between them. All told, the Giants
"IIus:?" E-.rr7.

A wild oitch by Jack Chesbro
back in 104 dissipated the only
other real pennant prospect the
Yanks have ever had. It would
,Cem unlikely that the Yankees
couI(1 lose this ti however, even
though "Babe" Ruth'a illness should
prevent his return to the game until
the -league season is ended.
There was lively wagering in New
York today at odds of 7 to 5 that the
Yanks beat the Giants in the big
series. Yankee partisans were bas
ing their judgment on hitting, with
the prediction that the Giant pitch'
ers will not be able to stop Ruth and
Bob Meusel.' Incidentally, the
Meusels' "Irish" of the Giants and
Bob of the Yankees, seem destined
to do the Corsican brother act in
this year's clash.

Nebraska Grid
Teams to Open
Season Saturday
Elevens to Get First Tante of
Grid Conflict Two Games
Between Conference
Squads.
The fall opening of the Xc'uraaka
conference, made up of 12 at the
larger universities and colltccs in
the state, will be staged this week
end. ' The foot ball aggregations of
some eight or 10 of these institu
tions will have their first tate of
1921 grid conflict. Reports Irom all
of the schools indicate the seat-on is
going off with a rush. Coaches re
port excellent material, hard sched
ules and hard men. The coutrrence
race last year ended in a trip-e tie.
Preliminary schedules provn'e for
two games betwixt conference teams
this week, Hastings college at Kear
ney Normal and Nebraska Central
at Crete. Grand Island opens its
season on foreign soil, playing the
Colorado college at Colorado
Springs. Cotner opens its season
with a fling at the alumni.
Nebraska Wesleyan, another mem
ber of the conference, also has its
first game, meeting the University of
Nebraska on Nebraska field.
Grand Island and Doan; came
through last season with 1.000 per
cent. Wesleyan also held a cleat
slate. The University of Omaha,
with a ranking no-defeat, no-tie sea
son, likewise reserved a berth at the
top of the column, but the confer
ence ruled them out of consideration
because the Maroons had not partici
pated in sufficient games wih con.
ference teams. Cotner, Kearney
and Nebraska Central finished near
the end of the string, while Hastings
finished fifth.
Hastings and Doanc, foot ball
critics aver, are the favorites in the
contests this week. Hastings plays
Friday and Doane Saturday. Doane
has a letter man in practically every
position. Nebraska Central fai'ed to
annex a game last year, but Coach
Frank Loomis, jr., Olympic ar and
new tutor of the Centralites, is ex
pected to bring the team to the front
Nebraska Wesleyan fell betore the
Cornhuskers, . 100 to 0. in the last
clash between the two schools.

Kansas Aggies Face
Hardest Game of
Season in Opener
Manahattan. Kan.. Sent. 30. (Spe
cial.) Filling their only practice
game date with the College of Em
poria eleven, a team which has suf
fered only one defeat in the last three
years, the Kansas Agg!s will enter
upon the 1921 foot ball season Sat
urday with every reason to expect
one of the hardest contests of their
schedule.
Emporia is about equal in weight
to the Aggies and has shown by past
performances that it is evenly
matched with Baehman's proteges.
Two games, played late last season,
offer a comparison of the teams.. Em
poria held Washburn to a 14-14 tie
at Topck'a, and the Aggies, a few
weeks later, playing on the same
grounds, could fo no better, the
game, which was the last of the K.
S. A. C season, ending in a tie,.
Winning the Kansas conference
championship both in 1918 and 1919,
Coach C-winn Henry's College of
