IJohn McGraw's Giants, National
League pennant winners. were ready
today to engage Miller B
in the
- Zflrlt game of the serips for the world's
_champi0nship. 0 ’
It is the second time these Manhat
tan teams have battled for the title.
McGraw’s relentless righting machine
hushed aside the trim Yank band
after getting away to a poor start last
year. The Giants were favorites then.

i duty at the initial sack. McCormick of.

afie Americans, was named to oii‘iciate
at third.
Club officials expected a capacity
crowd. The Polo Grounds is large
enough to accomodate 40.000 specta-
tors. The lower tier of the great
horseshoe stands have been reserved
- nnd all seats are sold. The upper tier.
7With room for 22,000 of the fans. have
' been left open for those buying tickets
.at the gate today.
Despite the not that the series
principals are both Manhattan teams.
the games have attracted baseball en-
thusiasts from the nooks and cran—
nies of the continent.
Men of finance. here. attending the
'American Bankers' Association con-
.Vention. decided to postpone their talk
on nickles and dimes and enjoy the
lbort. They will mingle with a num-
ber of governors and former gover-
nors. a score or more of mayors and
lesser lights of ofi‘lciaidom add some of
the country's leading sportsmen. Gov-
ernor Miller. of New York; Governor
Edwards. of New Jersey; Governor
:Da'vis. of Ohio. and Governor Allen. of
Kansas. have reserved 1 seats. J. P.
organ., Harry Payne Whitney.
and Finley J. Shepard are among the
'box~holders.

on getting tickets in the cheaper un-

places in the upper stands and lunched
on frankfurters and peanuts. of which
there seems to be an ever-increasing
supply. . .
And while lunching. they started the
usual arguments of the game-asserting
the ability of the opposing players. and
fighting the best known games of the
season over again. They had learned
‘ that Hugh hicQuillan. one of the Giant
hurlers. had been hit in the log by a

Miller Huggins says that Babe Ruth will redeem himself this year and
will terrorize the Giant hurlers. Huggins says that Ruth may not knock many
home runs. but that he will pole out plenty. of singles. doubles and triples;
Now let us see how near right M’iHer is. ‘ ' ’
We expect to see‘very little base stealing in the series. Both Snyder and .
Schang are the owners of accurate throwing arms and we figure the managers
' of the two teams will prefer to use the hit and run play. rather than to take
avchance on base stealing. Although the Giants are by far the faster club the
Yankees are very apt to chalk up the greater number of thefts for Huggins

”The steps now taken are long. firm
and wisely directed. Our only disap—
poimment is that the presidents’ com-
mission did not go a little further to
the establishment or a joint board of
referees recruited from the top ranks
of the three alumni bodies. Graduate
control of athletics appears to us the
most logical and desirable solution of
