This Combination Expected to
Make a‘Blg-JShowino in the
Next Three Weeks

 

 

 

So great‘has become the issue that
faces the Giants in this, the final three
weeks 01" the major league season,
that in order to see their club finish
in front of the National herd. ChriStY
Mathewson and Jeff Tesreau, the only
Giant pitchers who can be « relied
upon. have offered to pitch every
three days. .ll‘liis generous otter comes
from two of» the” world’s greatest
moundsmen whose very presence do
notes intrinsic gameness in trying to
conquer the almost inevitable. .Mar-
quard, Demaree and Fromme have
demonstrated that they cannot help
the Giants overtake their confident
adversaries. O'Toole was bought

from Pittsburgh in hopes that he‘
would bolster the tottering Giaut‘
machine. but it has already been'

proven that the $22,500 beauty has
little or nothing with which to throw
the skids under the galloping Braves.
At this stage of the race it is up to
McGr‘sw to either hold Mathewson
and Tesreau to their offer to pitch‘
every..three days or throw his string
of recruit pitchers into~the breach.
Marquard, chmaree and ' {Fromme
have tried repeatedly to come back
but to no avail. it is getting too late
now for the Little Napoleon to pin
further faith on them. Schupp and
Schauer. it is thought. will be used
every four or five days .in place ofathe
fallen trio of Giant flippers. . * ‘
White the Giants have a... mating
up to their usual‘strength in a ma-
jority of the’ games that have been
marked up as victories for the oppo-
sition, it has been their weakness on
the bases that has been equally as
, disastrous to their chances as their
weakness in the pitching box. in sea-
sons past the Giants have led the
league in team‘stolen bases, but these
days they are being regularly turned
back by catchers whom they used to
make look foolish. The entire Glam
team seems to have suddenly become
intimidated. and for some unaccount-
able reason they cannot overcome
their lapse of confidence. The Giants
themselves admit that . they have
played very poor ball for a champion-
ship team. ‘
' It is beginning to look that the race
this season will be won by under
ninety games. When the Giants were
traveling in true form they used to
win more than 100 games a season.
The handicap the Brai‘tas suffered be-
fore they commenced their winning

An eight-game lead at this time is
almost too great a handicap for any
team unless it can win three out or
four games. or play around a percent-
age of .50. This is the advantage

the Athletics hold over the Red Sox. ‘

The fate oi the possible local series

no great wave of enthusiasm on the

President Harry N. Hempstead of
the Giants is not opposed to a meet-
ing with Mr. Farrell's team, though of;

course he still has hopes of a round .

‘President Ed Barrow, oi the luterna- _ , ‘

the vacancy in the managerial chair of
the New Yorke. Ed does not covet the:~
job himself. but has strongly indorsed
