lifts at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
at the historic Polo crounds when
the Giants, National league cham
pions, take the field a the home club
to the Yankees, American league
pennant winners. Each team is bent
on winning five games with the least
possible delay, that number of vic
tories being required for acquisition
of the to-called world championship.
From all indications tonight, the
batteries for the first Ranic will be
Arthur Nehf, left hander and Earl
Smith fo rthc Giants, and Carl Mays,
right hander, and, Wallic Scliang,
for the Yankees.
Take Final Practice.
The warm tip of pitchers in today's
work outs of the rival teams dis
closed the fact that the pitching
choice of Manager Miller James
Huggins of the American leaguers
will between Mays and Willie lioyt,
youthful right hand twiler, and that
the Giants board of strategy, consist
ing of Manager John J. McGraw.
veteran of six earlier world scries,
Jlugiiie ejnnings, who won three
American league buntings with the
Detroit team and is now chief coach
of the Giants, and Captain Davey
Bancroft, Giant short fielder, will
select either Nehf or "Shuffliu' " Phil
Douglas, the erratic spit bailer, with
the probilities all in the former's
favor.
That the Yanks expect to face
Nehf was evident in Huggins' nom
ination of Harry Harper, his south
paw wild man, to pitch to the Yank
regulars in the greater part of their
batting practice this morning. Har
per demonstrated fair control and hit
none of the Yanks with what few
wild pitches he cut loose.
Both teams shaped up well
,n
their endeavors to maintain keen
S ness of batting and fielding eye and
to keep their muscles supple for the
supreme test of the base ball year.
What handicap there will be from
lack of fitness is on the Yank's side,
for both of Huggins' great sluggers
are a bit lame, Bob Meusel, with a
bruised shin that caused him to limp
considerably today, and Ruth with a
twisted knee that has bothered him
for several weeks.
X-Ray of Meusel's Shin.
An X-ray of .Meusel's shin was
made this morning, but failed to re
xes! any splintered or broken bones
and unless the injury, and old ones
recurring, proves more painful to
morrow, it will not prevent his tak
ing his position in right field in the
opening game . Meusel's loss to the
club, if only for a game or two,
would be a severe setback to Yankee
hopes.
Wagering on the outcome of the
first game, the conditions being that
Mays and Nehf pitch, was spirited
today at even money. The Giants
rule slightly favorites to triumph in
the long run, notwithstanding the
record of world series play since 1903
which reveals 11 world series titles
won by the American league and but
vix by the National league. The fact
that McGraw, in six previous world
series, has won but one inter-league
championship and that Jennings'
Timers, although participating in
three big series, never were able to
vin the greater honors, apparently
is' not taken into consideration bj
backers of the Giants in the set of
games getting under way tonfcirrow
afternoon.

that Columbus is the only city in
the United States that possesses
links crossed by two national high
ways yet on which the players do
not have to cross either of them to
finish a complete game on the

York College's
Giants Have Physical Edge
On Yanks
By FRANK G. MENKE.
(Copyright, 1921, by King restarts Syndicate, Inc.)
S the umpirical persons make ready to bellow the
first "play ball" across the world series field, this
dual fact is apparent:
The Giants have the physical edge and the
Yanks have the mental advantage in a sort of re
verse way.
And. after all reckoning has been done, it will
ue louna that those two factors
tion are the mighty ones in deciding a flag battle.
The lanks, as a whole, are a
team of blokes who arc not highly
strung, not sensitive, not given
much to playing the game with the
brains, but rather with their arms
and legs.
Yanks Plod Along.
The Yanks size up as the most
phelgmatic crew that ever hopped
into the blue ribbon classic. Noth
ing seems to disturb their mentil
poise. If they lose, well, they just
lose and forget about it. If they
win it's the same thing. They1 don't
do much worrying before a game,
during it, or after it.
Tough breaks during the heat of
conflict do not disturb or upset
them. They plod along. A great
rally on their own part doesn't lift
them to the heights. They take it
as a matter of course and do the
very same thing if the opposition
busts them for a dozen runs or so.
High Strung Crew.
And that's a characteristic which
may be condemned by some but
which is of mighty help in world
series play. For high strung ath
letes are likely to crack and go to
pieces if the breaks are against
them in a world's championship
tussle. But that'll never happen to
the Yanks.
Cut the Giants are different
muchly.
If they encounter a spell of tough
luck, they're likely to crumple and
be carried down to inglorious de
teat by it. But, on the other hand,
if they get a few breaks, they'll ride
along on those breaks in furious
fashion . and play a game beyond
themselves. They're irresistible if
they're lucky; impotent if 6ther
wise. Hugmen Under Strain.
And because the Yanks are the
plodders and the Giants the brilliant
but eccentric outfit the Yanks will

burgh, 50 to 44, in the opening game
of the national three-cushion billiard

Layton 's high run was four and Wes

Star Gridsters
York. Neb., Oct (Special.)
York college gridster are hard at
work each afternoon preparing for
their first game of the reason
which is scheduled for Thursday
afternoon with the Peru State Nor
mal warriors. The 8;me will be
played on the local's gridiron.
The York coach rus three good
players in Center Grow, Quarter
back . Bowers and Halfback Mc
Laughlin. Grow is a dandy center
and one capable of holding his sec
tion of the line in fine style, while
both Bowers and McLaughlin are
speedy backfield men. Bowers' toe
is expected to boot York out of
many tight places this season.
in World's Series
physical and mental condi-
have an edge as far as mental atti
tude is concerned. For they'll not
be subject to cracking and the
Giants will be.
Certainly, the Giants will go into
the fray far better equipped physi
cally than their home-town rivals.
For the strain was off the Giants a
week before the conflict was sched
uled, to start, whereas the Yanks
had to burn almost all of their Tt-.
niaining store of energy right up to
the last hour 01 the American league
fight.
Carl Mays, slinging ace of tht
Yanks, once a Gibraltar, has shown
through the last three weeks the ter
rific strain upon his arm. Every club
that has faced him has belted his
offerings with considerable gusto.
Only the heavy macing behind Maivs
saved hint from at least three defeats
in the final month.
"Giants Will Win."
It's the same with the other Yank
hurlers. Their flippers . have been
overworked and without a chance to
rest the weary muscle?, while the
Giant sharpshooters have been bene
fited by a vacation of nearly a full
week.
The Giant team romps into the
world series in tip-top condition fit
and. ready. The Yanks are Wobbly.
Ruth has a bag leg. Schang and
F'eckenpaugh have been a bit "under
the weather." Which means that one
third of the regulars are somewhat
on the "fritz."
It looks, therefore, that the Giants
should win the series in about seven
games.

Picks Giants Asserts McGraw
Is Craftiest Leader in Game
By CAPT. ODRIAN ANSON.
(Co) right. I. I, hy InlvarMl her tie.)
New York, Oct. 4 They play the
came a bit differently in this era
llun they did in my day, which be
pan 'way back in 1670. And becaune
of that ehift in tactics, it seems to
me that the Giants have an "edge"
in what it now regarded as the most
important factor in a ball clul) sue
cesi I mran team leadership.
Through all the year hat I
played the fame am! for a long
time afterward the biggest thing
was brains. The boys who had
none, as far a bae ball was con
cerned, didn't last long The greatest
players were those whose wits were
working at top speed all the time
who were men of daring and (juirk
thinking and ever alert to an op
portunity. In those days each side had nine
men who had and used nine sets
of brains. No one .did the thinking
for them. They had to do it them
selves. As a result individual bril
liance made the game spectacular
and wonderful to watcli. All men
were expected, in a mighty measure,
to work out their own salvation.
The manager wasn't expected to do
alt, or even the major part of the
thinking for them.
There was team work, of course,
wonderful and effective team work.
But the outstanding feature of the
game in my day was individual
brains individual performance at
the bat, on the bases and in the field.
But in the years since then i
change has come. I guess it all
dates back to the time when John
McGraw and Connie Mack became
chronic pennant winners. Every
Ifcdy wanted to know how they did
it. Thev discovered, upon investiga
tion, that both leaders did nearly all
the thinking for the team. 1 he club
was runs from the bench not by
the individual brains of the players.
The manager decided upon how each
play should be made. He instructed
the men what to do and their work
was only to carry it out.
As a result machine pla' cainc
about. Managers began to tell theif
players what to do for every occa
sion. At times, of course, players
would make a play of their own
creation but in the majorit3' of cases
the plays of today are not those
originated by the player himself.
They are the ideas of the leader put
into execution by the various cogs
in his machine.
Three Master Minds.
If you don't believe It watch the
average big league club in action.
You 11 see that the men usually look
to the manager for final orders when
stepping to the plate. You'll sec
that they look to the bench for in
structions when they get on t!ie
bases. And you'll see the pitchers
looking that way when they are in
trouble.
Alt of which brings me to this
point:
The team of today which is the
most successful, therefore, is the one
which has the smartest manager
or the brainiest board of strategy.
On one side in the world's series
of 1921 will be Miller Huggins. On
the other will be John McGraw,
Hughie Jennings and Jess Burkett.
Huggins is a clever leader, n ne
weren't he couldn't have lifted his
ball club to pennant heights. All
this talk by his enemies that he bun-
iclcd thines vanishes into
thin air
. . ... ......
F,v,r tho -n-t is inriisniitah 0 that
Hueeins was sent out to win a pen
nantand won it. No one could
expect more
chronic yckerg,
than that except
Huggins Great Leader.
Some fellows have the idea that
some other manager than Huggins
could have brought the Yankees
home eight or 10 games in front in
stead of by the small margin of vic
tory which they achieved. But to

that should he receive an offer to
manage a club or become engaged
in any other business than playing
hall we will give him his rclrase.
Rut he cannot play ball with any
other club without that team's owner
doing business with us."
Dame Rumor has it that Lelivelt
is trying to get a franchise into Den

heavy hitter of the Western circuit
has u nice pile of kale which is being
kept in the of sock until Hie right
time comes when it can purchase a
