XKW YOH1C. Oct. 7. It is gener
ally regarih'd as a case of shut your j
eyts ami take your choice when the
New York Ciants and the Hoston Ked
Sox meet tomorrow to play the open- ,
lng game of the 111 12 world's cham
pionship series. Kxperts who have
been figuring on the comparative
Klnnglh of the two teams since It
became apparent weeks ago that they
would fight for the title, arrived at
the conclusion finally that only two
points were left on which to base
the selecting of a favorite. One
point of vantage was allotted to each
team. The Giants possessed the con-,
fidence gained by participation in
last year's - world series. The Ked
Sox were favored because they out-,
gamed the (i hint-killing Athletjes ,
through a long, hard season. Aside ,
from these two points, there, was
thought to be Utile choice, the two;
tennis being regarded as evenly .
matched. I
Examination of the two teams,
through their records and through
scientific study failed to produce a
balance in favor of either. The
(limits, according to averages, pos-
Reused superior hitting, base-running:
and storing ability, and the Ked Sox,:
according to averaged, were stronger j
afield, but the difference between tho.
two was in each instance hardly ap-j
precfable. Huston fans, for instance,
contend, when the (Hants' superiority I
in batting average is mentioned, that
the Ked Sox were up against better

pitching than the Giants encoun
tered. A more satisfactory method
of comparison was found in a close
scrutiny of the play of individual
members of tho team.
ltatt cries Kvenly ltulunced.
Here again an even break resulted.
Carrigan, of Boston, is usually rated
a better backstop than llig Chief
Meyers, but Cady. who invariably
catches when Smoky Joo Wood
works. Is not valued as highly. A
balance obtains there. Wood and
Matty, speed and skill, were thought
to be about evenly matched. Collins,
though not so brilliant as Marnuard,
was regarded as more steady and re
liable, lledient, like Tesreau, a spit
ball pitcher, was thought to be more
seasoned If not so flashy as llig Jeff.
Merklo and Doyle, at first and sec
ond, were conceded to be as much
better than Stall I and Yerkes, as
Wagner nndInrdner were reckoned
superior to Fletcher and Her.og. The
lioKton infield as a whole was
thought to possess greater defensive
strength, being steadier than the
(iiant four, and the quartet being a
more smoothly working machine. Hut
the New York infielders possess high
er batting averages than their lios
ton rivals. Again, a toss up.
Hoston Outfield Superior.
As for outfields, Hoston was gen
erally given the prefernce, Lewis,
Speaker and Hooper form ono of the
most wonderful fielding trios that
has ever played the game, according
to all critics. In addition they are a
good hitting hunch, Speaker especial
ly being a terrific swatter. Opposed
to them were to bo Murray, Snod
grass and Keeker, lied John Murray,
at t i mes a sensat ional fielder a n d
vicious hitter, was not to he heavily
banked on because of his tendency to
he erratic. At that ho stands head
and shoulders above Becker and
Snodgrass. Man for man and as a
combination the (iiant outfielders
rank below the Ked Sox gardeners.
Any advantage that Boston might
have in actual playing strength was
thought to be counterbalanced by the
managerial ability of John McGraw,
the Giant boss. His generalship has
always been of a uniformly high
order, and critics ranged him above
Jake Stahl. Although Stahl, aided
and abetted by McAleer, was recog
nized as an able general, and one
who could produce results.
Summing it all up. tho two teams
were regarded as about evenly
matched as to real, game-winning
ability. Critics compiled statistics
and reckoned individual merit with
out reaching a decision for either
team. The question was an open
one, and guess-work availed nothing.
The whole problem seems to be one
of how the teams will act under fire.
The Giants, having been through one
world's series, are confident. The
Ked Sox. having defeated the team
that won tho championship from the
Giants, are likewise confident.
The second game will be played at
Boston.

It was originally supposed that Doc
tor George E. Houck, would have no
opposition for re-election to the coun
cil. Doctor llouck's action some
time ago In attempting to effect a
compromise of the litigation between
the city and John Hunter was looked
upon with displeasure by a number
of citizens, who got together at the
eleventh hour and started a move
ment to displace him with Dr.' Wal
ter S. Hamilton. As Dr. Hamilton's
name is not printed on the official
ballot, his supporters are therefore
willing In his name. Councilman
Houck Is not without support, how
ever, and the race between the two
candidates promises to be a close

other wards are:
