Show LYNCH THINKS GIANTS WILL WIN SERIES By THOMAS J, LYNCH, President of tho National Leaguo. By International News Service. NEW YORK. Oct. 4. I have absolute confidence In McGraw and the Giants I look for one of the most exciting struggles strug-gles In history, but I think that the chief honors of baseball will rest with the National league when the last gamo has been played. The Giants have shown wonderful consistency con-sistency throughout, the season and a disposition to fight haulest when the breaks were against them. New York has a wonderful pitching staff, a very Important adjunct in a series of this nature na-ture The team won a pennant this season despite the fact that the players failed to bat up to normal. It would not surprise sur-prise me at all If the boys should show something In a batting way when they face the Athletics. They usually may be depended upon to rise to emergencies. McGraw ami Mack nre both wonderful managers, though I think that McGraw, being on the coaching lines, has a sllcht advantage In a series of this nature. The teams strike me as being very evenly matched. I think New York's superior pitching will offset Philadelphia's better hitting. The luck of the game ahvnvs has cut a very important figure and Is likely to do ho acraln this time. With an even break I think New York has the better chance. Let us hopr- that the Issue is decided upon Its merits. May the best team win. |
