ALEXANDER'S TASY HEAVY Possibility to Work Three Games at Best and' Win Two Is Granted, but Victory Unaided Is De clared Beyond Cunning. BT GRAN TLA N D RICE. NEW lORK, Oct. 2. (Special.) Ten years ago today there was a world of argument as to how the New York Giants would fare asrainst the Phila delphia Athletics in an impending world series. The dope then all swung upon the worK of a certain star a tall, broad' shouldered young blonde, just in his pitching prime. There was some doubt as to how this young star would fare in a world series, and there was more doubt as to how one star pitcher could win a series almost alone. At the end of three starts he had de livered Ahree shutouts and had proved that one great pitcher, in a short se ries, can beat almost any club there is. His name was Mathewson. Ton years further on. Phillies Ag-aln Have Wonder Man. Today. 10 years further out on the highway of play, we come to another world series affair that in one impor tant detail, at least, is similar' to the case of 1905. Philadelphia is still a. party to the litigation, with the Boston Red Sox on the other end of the debate. But this time Philadelphia has the pitching wonder the young star who stands almost exactly where Mathew son stood 10 years ago. His name is Grover Cleveland Alexander a pitcher with an arm of steel and the heart of an iron ox. But there is this difference: Mathew son. in that 1905. had the aid of Joe McGlnnity, the iron baron, while the Athletics had lost their main star, George Edward Waddell, the only Rube. Alexander Has So Iron Barol. Alexander has no McGinnity to help him. while in Shore. Foster. Ruth and Leonard the Phillie star must tackle a tough man to beat at each appearance a group of pitchers good enough to roll back the onslaughts of Cobb, Craw ford and Veach, who were capable of delivering an attack well beyond an offensive power known to the club of Pat Moran's. Alexander might pitch three shut outs., and still fall to win the series, with Chalmers, Iiixey, Mayer and Demaree unable to cope with the bet ter pitching they must face and with the harder hitting club to bold In check. Outside of Alexander Moran has no McGinnity who is almost sure of one victory. How the dope stands. We are speaking here not of what will happen, but of what should hap pen if the dope follows its allotted course which it doesn't always do. Dope Belonjra With Rd Sox. On this basis, despite the greatness of Alexander. Boston has the advantage of advance form. The dope belongs with the Red Sox. For while big Alex, the new Mathewson, will be hard to hit and even harder to beat, don't for get that in Shore, Foster, . Ruth and Leonard the Phillies will face four men almost as hard to overthrow. With a batting average around .250, they have never been a slugging clan. So, on past form, how are they to beat back a pitching staff which ef fectually stopped the Tigers, with the strongest offense in the game? Alex ander might well hold the Red Sox to one run and still lose. Before facing the Red Sox in the last vital series Hughey Jennings made this statement "Watch Coveleskie stop them." Coveleskie Loses Hard Kintht. Coveleskie did for 11 Innings. For 11 innings he held them without a run. It would be hard to ask more from even Alexander. But. for all that. Coveleskie didn't win. He was beaten 1 to 0 in 12 or 13 innings beaten be cause Boston's great defense was not to be overthrown. So. with Alexander. Alexander must not only face good batting club, a club batting on the year nearly 20 points above his own, but he must tackle a club with tho greatest ail-around defense in baseball a club hard to score upon through its efficient pitching and in field and outfield support. Three Game Thonicht Limit. Holding this club to one or two runs may not be sufficient, for getting one or two runs off this Red Sox club will alone be a good day's work. Alexander should be able to work three games at his best but no more. Of these three, on form, he should be able to win two and lose one. To beat the Red Sox three games is likely to be even beyond the magic cunning of the great Macedonian. Given two victories out of three starts a fine pitching Job, the Phillies, to win. must still land two more games through the pitching of Chalmers, Mayer, Rlxley or Demaree. They may get these two victories but the dope doesn't point in that par ticular direction. The best we can see is one victory for Philadelphia, beyond Alexander's winnings, and this will run the series to seven games. Boston Offensive Is Stronger. To have a good chance, Alexander must produce three victories. If he can win three games, the odds are then with the Phillies, but still not by any overwhelming margin. If he wins two games, the odds are against the Phillies, for Foster. Shore, Ruth and Leonard are much more like ly to beat Philadelphia than Chalmers, Rixey, tc, are likely to beat Boston. Boston undoubtedly has a somewhat stronger offensive club than Philadel phia. The Phillies have three good batsmen in Cravath. Luderus and Whit ted. Rex Sox batting strength is more evenly balanced, with Speaker and Lewis always dangerous. Infield, Are Evenly Matched. There will be no great difference be tween the two infields. Both are good without being great without being anywhere close to the greatness of the old-time Macklan four. Both infields are good defensively, but only ordinary upon attack, lacking any unusual punch or any unusual speed. Boston has the better outfield, one of the two great outfields of the game. Cravath's slugging may be a big fac tor, but Speaker's combined ability will range higher, as the Texan Is the great, est defensive outfielder baseball ever knew, and neither Hooper nor Lewis is far-behind. Philadelphia has one pitcher who overshadows all competition. But Boston has four pitchers who over shadow any others In the Phillie cast. All the way through you will find that Boston has the better balance, more of the machine-like mold, with out being forced to depend upon any one or two men. rhlllle Mainstays Big Factors. If Alexander or Cravath. the tw Phlllie mainstays, should bump into an off week, if Alexander should'nt be 1 top form. If Cravath should be checkee at bat. the Phillies would be almost surely doomed. But the defection of no one or twe men can wreck the Red Sox. Shcre and Ruth might falter, but there would still be Foster and Leonard and possibly Wood to rush to the breach. And II of the Red Sox machine have eeen world's series service, have been under fire through the big money test. Not to forget in every test series this year where, perhaps, a pennant was at stake, the Red Sox were practi cally unbeatable, either at home or up on hostile soil. They have been a club that could rise to meet any emergency. Alexander Every Bit a Mailer. But they will face the touchest prop osition they have yet tackled in trying to beat Grover Cleveland Alexander, one of the greatest pitchers that ever lived, a workman with the arm. the brain and the heart game to tfie last peg, with control of a low ball that has tied the National League into true lover's knots since April. The Red Sox job will be to beat Alexander Just once. They must beat him once out of three shots to have the edge, tinder these conditions, tho series should go to six games and pos sibly on to seven, but insofar as dopa goes, Boston now has the edse. Just what upsets may follow what Hank Gowdys might arise through one week of inspiration. have nothing whatsoever to do with the dope. For the dope only reckons of what should be if form runs true, not what will be If form is wrecked and shattered and scattered to the gray October winds. ATHLETIC STATUS PENDS UNIVERSITV COMMITTEE FORMU LATES LIST OF Q.l'ESTIO'S. Information As to Coat of Conducting Sports and Standing; or Athletes Expected by Monday. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Oct. 2. (Special.) President Camp bell s appointed committee for the in vestigation of the intercollegiate ath letic problem met last evening and after a session which lasted two hours the following questions were drafted and presented to Graduate Manager Tiffany to answer for the satisfaction of the men now conducting the inquiry: What is the complete record of last year's expenditure on athletics? How much do the students expend for the support of varsity athletic teams? What are the gate receipts at the average game? How much is spent on salaries of the coaching and training staff? What rent is paid for grounds to play upon? What is the total expenditure for training purposes before tho actual playing season commences? How much is spent in the equipment of athletes? What do the various trophies repre sent in cash when given by the uni versity? Then Mr. Tiffany, as registrar, was asked to present a detailed report of the scholastic standing of Oregon ath letes playing intercollegiate ball and also a complete analysis of their courses. The committee will reconvene Mon day, when Registrar Tiffany will be expected to have his report made out and the questions answered in detail. Students seem to be working with the faculty in an effort to correct mis takes, if there are any in athletics here, and to date demonstrations against Tr. Barnett's resolutions have been but minor.
