GIANTS AND MACKMEN
SHOULD FURNISH FANS
WITH FINE BASEBALL
Polo Grounders and Shibe
Park Lads of About Equal
Playing Strength.
By V. J. MaclM'tli.
New York, Sept. 20. Tlxj Giants and
Athletics this year should furnlHh one
of the mdit thrilling struggles of
world's series history. Kueh a classic
Is good or bad according to whether the
contestants are evenly matched. Not
only are the Polo grounders and the
Shibe Park lads of about kindred play
ing strength, but both have been no er
ratic the latter part of the season that
almost anything may be expected in the
great clash.
There never was sticn a world's series
as that between the Red Sox and Giants
last fall; at least, from the standpoint
of the spectacular. There were a few
pitching duels, but the great majority
of the contests were slugging jubilees,
in which one side or the other was put
to utter rout. As a rule, there were no
half measures. Either a team was very,
very good, or it was very, very bad. And
cropping out with the most Inexcusable
"bush" league stuff on every hand came
a series of plays of such exceptional
brilliancy as fairly knocked the specta
tors off their chairs.
It Went Eight Games.
This series went eight full games. In
cluding ono extra Inning tie, which Is
the very best proof of the balance of
the rivals. Boston outplayed New York
in the first half, and outlueked It in the
second. But for an error in ono of tho
early games. Boston would probably
have won in four straight games.
Finally, when the gamest sort of a fight
put New York on even terms with the
Red Sox, and in a position to win with
the deciding game, an error blew the
title. New York had the game bagged
before Snodgruss' muff put the Hub In
a winning mood. Fred Merkle complet
ed tho Job by his failure to go after a
little pop foul from Speaker's bat. Now
during the scries both Snodgrass and
Merkle showed several wonderful plays
that helped to save games at critical
stages, but all this was forgotten when
their faults lott the championship.
Luck played a very important part In
the world's series of lit 12. Mathewson,
the very best pitcher on either team, so
far as real work is concerned, didn't
win a game, while Marquard breezed
through to two easy victories. The Gi
ants couldn't got a run for "Big Six,"
while tney simply slaughtered the Sox
evty time the "Kubt" took a hand. The
most wonderful catch ever shown on a
ball field was produced by Harry Hoop
er at the psychological moment It cut
a homer off Larry Doyle, and saved a
championship to boot. Hooper might
nover be able tfc make such another
catch. That was the ill fortune of the
Giants.
It Was Always Uncertain.
It is the clement of uncertainty which
lends such a charm to organized base
ball, and the uncertainty certainly en
hanced the last world's aeries about ten
fold. There never were two such uncer
tain and erratic opponents In the au
tumn classlo as the Gotham and Hub
aggregations the day they lined up for
the first skirmish. Had either side
plaved all season after the fashion of
the world's series, it would not have
finished in the first division of its com
pany. Loth the Giants and Athletics have
been going in rather slip-shod fashion'
for a mouth. Were they lo start the big
doings tomorrow, it would be a puzzle
to dopo it. The team with the luel;
would win. But before the end of an
other two weeks the prospective rivals
are likely to scttlo down to real busi
ness. McGraw and Mack will doubtless
bring their forces to tho wire in tho
very best shape for a bitter fight. With
both teams traveling at their best paces,
the series should be a hummer. Just as
It would be -a hummer if both were ut
their worst. Should either team arrive
at its true form while the other main
tained the erratic behavior that char
acterised tho (stretch run of the pennant
races, the competition in the annual
i lassie would very likely develop into
much of a farce.
Giants Have Great Chance.
The Giants have the greatest oppor
tunity Imaginable to go round the world
this winter as champions of the uni
verse. 1 do not see how the Athletics
can beat McGraw's bunch, if it ia able
to get back to tho form It showed the
first three months. Without a .300 hit
ter, McGraw went through a disastrous
slump that lasted nearly two months.
That speaks volumes for the pitching at
ills command.
Pitching Is a great deal of a world's
series argument. In this line McGraw
lays It all over Connie Alack. Tho craf
ty leader of the Athletics lias only two
very much overworked veterans at his
command Southpaw Eddlu Plank and
Indian Bender, Both huve been worked
to death. Mack has a bunch of young
talent, which has been very erratic all
season. They may stand up under the
strain of a world's series, and ugain
they may not.
Outside of the box, McGraw can Just I
about hold his own. Meyers and Mc
Lean are better 'all-round men than
Schang und Lapp. The Philadelphia in
fleid bus a shade on the Giant inner
works, but the Giants have the better
garden triu. When the Giants were hit
ting to form they could hold up their
end in this department with the slug
ging Mackmeti. Ana what McGraw
lacks in hitting power he more
makes up 'for In sheer speed.

was In the lead when It became

After hearing that the Kid had bee'i

COUGHING FIT DISLODGES
WHICH HAD
RESTED
Dentist's Patient Escapes Pos-
sible Death After. Medical
Aid Had Failed.
Although very near death at one time.
Louis C. Coulter, 44 North Tenth street,
who carried a dentist's gold crown for
one of his teeth in his right lung for six
months, is now almost fully recovered.
Mr. Coulter attributes his recovery to n
fit of coughing, ho violent that after
months ofr-mifferins the crown was dls
lodged.
January 28 of this year he was In th
chair of a local dentist preparatory to
having a crown fitted to oir6 of his
teeth. The crown allpped from the den
tist s Instrument and the little shell of
gold lodged in Mr. Coulter's windpipe,
later passing down to the right lung,
where it rested with apparently no way
of removing It.
After months of racking coughing and
intense pain, 11 months confinement to
his bed, and a loss of 40 pounds in
weight, Mr. Coulter, in a spasm of
coughing dislodged the crown from his
lung, July 18 last, eight days less than
six months from the day he swallowed
it -
Medical and surgical science had been
unable to reach it, but the Jar caused
by a ride in an automobile and the ex
citement of a ball game Into which, In
cidentally, he had to be carried, led him
into an eight day spasm of coughing.
Xocal physicians declare that Coul-,
ter's case is without parallel In their
experience. That his finger rtstla
stopped growing demonstrates clearly
the seriousness of his condition,
Mr. Coulter is one of the pioneer base
ball players of the coast. Back in the
eighties ho was a star second baseman
on the Portland team, which set the
pace for the baseball teams from Vic
toria to Saa Francisco. The late Willis
S. Dunnlway pitched for Portland at
that time and was the father of the
curved ball in this part of the country,
says Coulter.
CHADBOURNE'S STREAK

Chester Chadbourne's remarkable bat

The above phrases will be repeated
many times on Multnomah Field this
morning, when the club team will turn
out for the third Sunday practice of
the season. It is expected that every
player, who haB reported this season,
will be on the grounds when Assistant
Manager Pratt assembles tho players.
Manager Plowden Stott Is out of the
city again and will not return till
Monday. Stott . promises, however, to
be on hand after that, to watch his
players till the end of the season.
The club is still a little shy on end
players. Little trouble Is expected in
developing the backfield material, of
which there Is plenty. There will be
no trouble whipping the line Into shape.
The backfield was robbed of Dean H.
Walker, who captained the University
of Oregon team last season, when the
Oregon player was elected graduate
manager In place of Arthur Geary.
The second team will be on hand,
again this morning. As soon as a full
team is lined up the players will get
together and elect a captain.
