LUCK OFTEfl TURNS-HAND TURNS-HAND II BIG GIT , 4 Horseshoe Has Been Pro " in Many of Series of Past. 7 VTill luck, in aoy form, manifei self in the series between the B;: and the Giants? 'Tis "well, alwa; .; doping the winner of such a shot -rj-ries, to make allowances for the '--5; ries of fortune. Luck has de more than one world's series. -j There axe always two side. Muck " If one gains by "getting breaks," it is generally a sure bet, i he will deny there was any luc : duke connected with his victory, the other hand, should he lose by -ing things break against him, he --be --be equally as loud in his claims - -the other fellow was lucky. which it would appear that the", oulv one kind of luck. If it b against yon it is bad luck; if it f you it wasn't'luck. It was great mg or managing on your part :: "there ain't no such thing as lucl However, there are two kinds of " " good and bad and both have -j actsve participants iu the worid ries games 01 the past. And unti L" milleninm. or until baseball oeaa . :, be popular, which amounts to the thing, there will be both kinds. ": "Was it luck that saved the Kec , . from defeat in the world's seri 1912? ell, rather! A double-bai dose of it. In the tenth inning. grass made his famous $30,000 mu . Eagle's ily, for which he was wel Mcrkle then failed to get an. easy from the bat of Tris Speaker. Sp v took advantage of the life awarded him and singled, sendii Engie with tbe tieing run. Yt who had preceded Speaker and r given a base on balls, reacned thi:.- , tho hit. from whence he scored' on Lewis's fly, ending tbe game the series in favor of Boston. It was a bslk that unnerved 'R , O'Brien in the tirst inning of an game in that series and handed Giants five runs at the ery o- "L enough to win bv a 5-2 score. The Athletics 'lost the fifth gar -the 3911 series with the Giants be '- Catcher Lapp failed to lu-tiee Larry Doyle overslid home plat the "eleventh inning, when he s the winning run. Doyle had the t from the center field beaten and ; did not attempt to tag him. l"t .. Billy Klem saw the play but powerless to act. .Tack Coombs strained his ba : badlv in the same series that he -not "been able to extend himself 1 . He spent months and months in a pital as a result of the injury ai i doubtful whether he will pve -able to resume his duties as the . man of the Athletics. The two home runs of PVar.fc I against Mnrquard and Mathewso 19U and the one against Man last year can hr.rdly be acercrbtt luck." All three were solid bit thing, they were extremely V luck for the Giants.
