BY CHRISTY MATHEWSON. , (Of the Giants.) "H HE reader must always bear In B mind in considering these two preliminary stories on the world's series, which will be In the nature of forecasts of conditions and which will indicate, partially, what I think the outcome will be, that I am a pitcher on the New York club. The opening paragraph is not In any sense an apology for my opinions, but It Is only natural for a man, who has played with one club for 13 years and whose fortunes are swung In with it as a team contending in a series of this sort, to be optimistic over Its chances and to shade the "dope" a little here and there perhaps. However, I Intend co endeavor to look at everything In Its true light In these stories and to point out the weaknesses of the Giants as well as their strong points as I know them. Weaknesses Not to Be "Tipped." Let it be further understood that, in these articles, I am not going to tip off any of the weaknesses of the New York club which are familiar to me and which might benefit the Athletics. We have arranged certain plans for the battles in our dally meetings in the clubhouse of last week, McGraw has mapped out a form of attack on each twirler that "Connie" Mack will put in to the series, and we have built up a system by which we hope to veil our own flaws from the enemy. In my daily reports of the contests during the series, I shall endeavor to show these plans of attack and defense were ap plied, and how they worked out. This series offers many angles, more than any one of the three previous world's series in which I have taken part. The first question that presents itself to me is the question whether the New York pitchers can hold the Athletics' hitters in check. Around this problem revolves largely the outcome of the series. Besides this question, the personal equation must be taken into account. Comparing the teams, man for man, does not amount to much, because history has frequently repeat ed itself In selecting some obscure player to make him the hero and de ciding factor of the world's series. This was particularly true of the series last 'Fall when Hooper and Yerkes, sup posed to be weak spots in the Boston armor, were the bright stars of the games. The managerial ability of the two leaders, the general styles of play of the two clubs, which, in this case, are entirely different, the ability of the rivals to meet and stop the attacks, the spirit of the teams, and finally the element of luck or the "breaks" must all be taken Into consideration. Let us first take up that leading question as to whether the Giants' pitchers will be able to hold the Ath letics' hitters. On this one factor more than any other two depends the out come of the series. The Athletics are badly off for seasoned pitchers. Their most direct way to the victory !s to slug themselves to the long end of the score. Athletic.' Hitter. Average Best. On the season's batting averages Mack's men have it all over the Giants. The Athletics carry five players who are practically regulars ana who closed out the season with averages better than .300. The Giants have only one man who hit .300 or better, and this one is the Indian, "Chief" Meyers. Every man in the Philadelphia infield finished over .300 with the bat except Barry. But, of course, this terrific hitting was against all kinds of pitch ing. The Athletics will face better and more careful twirling in this series than the average twirling In the Amer ican League. Of course there are some pitchers in the American League just as good as any performers on the Giants, and some better. I consider Walter Johnson to be the most won derful twirler that ever stood in the box. The most dangerous men the New York pitchers will be forced to face, we estimate, are Collins, Baker, Mcln nis and Oldring. Naturally, neither Baker nor Collins bat southpaws as hard as right-handers because they are both left-handed hitters. Neither one is strong for speed, but it Is danger ous to feed Baker speed because, if he gets hold of a fast one, he drives It a mile. - "Pass Baker In Pinch." Of course Baker will be closely watched in this series, and each twirler will work on him with great. care. We have practically decided, and I am not divulging any secrets when I say this, that the only safe thing to do with him in. a pinch is to pass him. If a pitcher puts the ball over the heart of the plate or close in for Baker he may Just as well duck and wonder where it landed. One thing that makes Baker the great batter he is Is his supreme confidence when in the box. He believes he can hit any kind of pitching. He generally does hit any kind. too. Collins is Just as dangerous a bats man as Baker. He has a more discon certing manner in the batter's box and is a harder man to pitch to than Baker. .1 have never had a real opportunity to study Mclnnls through seeing him play against me except for a minute or two in the series of 1911 when he got in one game. But his record for the season shows he is a deliberate and dangerous batter and a real pinx h ' hitter. Giant I'ltchrra la Shape. All the New York twirler. are in ex cellent shape now. Marquard promises to be the most effective against ths Athletics. They are known as 'a club which does not like speed or a fast breaking curve. Two of their most dangerous sluggers, Collins and Baker, are also left handed batters. "Eddie" Murphy, the right fielder who is ranked high in the hitting lists, is also a left handed hitter. Marquard has acquired a steadiness since 1911 which has caused the Athletics to fear him mora than any other of the New York twlrl ers according to what I hear from Philadelphia. The Athletics are also worried about Demaree. "What has her they keep asking people who ought to know. "How does he win his games?" This much of Demaree's "stuff' TH tip ofT because It is very widely known outside the club anyway. He has con trol and a nerve like ice. He is also one of the best men at crossing strange batters I have ever seen In action be cause he appears to figure out a hitter's weakness by premonition and play on it accurately. It would not surpriso m if he were to be the hero or the series as "Babe Adams was in iu. The Athletics will also face a man they never saw before In Te.reau. If he can show the control in the aeries he has carried in his last starts, he should be very effective as he Is the stvle of pitcher that the Philadelphia club has always found hardest to beat. He throws a spltball with lots or speed and a sharp break. I. -mvself. will probably be the fourth pitcher to start in the series. Right now I am in better concmon man ai any time this year. I'll admit that the Athletics are a smart bunch and a hard crowd to outguess, but so were the old Cubs. I'll be in there trying at any rate. (Copyright. 1913. by the Wheeler Syndi cate. Inc.)

' OSS p Water Polo to Be Made Big Feature at Multnomah. LEAGUE TO BE FORMED Monday night the J. E. Kelly team and the Babcocks will play a practice game to nmoer up. The Kellvs Dlav Tuesday, but the Babcocks get until Thursday to warm up. Speed Teams and Fancy Diving Squads Chosen Instructor Cody to Aid High School Boys With Aq unties. " Norman Ross, sprint swimming champion of the Northwest, lias been elected general captain of the Mult nomah Club swimmers and will also be leader of the relay team represent ing Multnomah Club in the Winter's meets. William Thatcher was at the same time made captain of the Mult nomah first water polo team. This ! practically, a new game here, which Swimming Instructor Cody will havs well under way in a few weeks. He will consult with the Portland T. M. C A. and the Portland Bvlmmlng Association, which still has a few mem bers swimming at the Portland baths. Multnomah Club will probably hav two teams, the T. M. C. A. two or threi and the Portland Swimming Associa tion one in the league which is ex pected to result. The game has been played as a side issue to swimming around the tanks for some time, but the competition has never been serious. In San Francisco and Eastern cities the gam. is a big lnterclub sport and Cody expects to ake it such here. The Y. M. C. A. has several adepta at the game, though it may not havs the speed men Multnomah have. Nev ertheless, it is a game at which th novice has a good chance. The Multnomah men had nevet played the game before this Summer. However, the first team Is practically determined. It will be an all-star cast of the swimmers Norman Ross, John McMurray, Goodell, Captain Thatcher and Colly Wheeler. Goodell is expected to be a star all through the Winter. He is a former Olympic Club limelight man and still has speed and endurance. He will probably represent Multnomah in the longer swims. GREATEST PITCHER TO WRITE WORLD SERIES Peerless Christy Mathewson to Fulfill Contract With The Oregonian, Giving Readers Close Insight to Plays in Games for Title. w HEN the Philadelphia Athletics and the New York Giants take the field Tuesday to battle for the world's baseball title, the hopes of v'r'T Gotham and the Giant supporters will be centered in two men Mathew son and Meyers. Mathewson will be the central fig ure in the big pro ceedings. He has been the prime fig ure in every im portant series for several years ohck. r 'JY' V. Ja'fl This great pitcher yfj Mtsai2 .Sm has been secured by The Oregonian to describe the. entire series exclusively for The Oregonian "4 HI be able to give its readers the best In sight into the championship games of any newspaper in the Northwest. Add to this series of articles the reg ular Associated Press dispatches and the numerous other special features which will be brought in over the leased wires every night. Can you beat It? You, as well as every other base ball fan. will be surprised. Now, don't miss Matty's stories. Mathewson has taken the stand that the National commission exceeded its bounds In forbidding the literary ef forts of the ball stars after they had already signed contracts. The Orego nian has a contract with him and h. insists that he will fulfill it even at the expense of being outlawed by tht powers that be. This will, however, likely be the last time Matty will write a world's series so, again let it be said, don't miss in Oregon. That means that The Oregonian will o ' . , perial I Matty's series.
