According to John McGraw -of the Giants, Who Ought to Know, and He Gives Figures. John MeGraw, who knews a lot about the strength of world's baseball contenders, mostly rom adyerse experience, was asked whieh of all the teams since 1905--when the first series under' Natiohal Com- mission. supervisipn was Played--| is reply: "For effective streggth-in the box, ours was in 1905, for w¢ had Math- ewson and MeGinnity, invisible pit- chers, Otherwise the Cubs 'when they were winning pennants in suc- cession or the Athletics when they were beating us dn 1911, 1912 and 1913 were the best for all around strength." oy As a matter of fact, the hardest hitting and sécond best fielding by any world's series winner in. the period specified was done. by 'the Athletics in 1910. They beat the Cubs that year, four games fo"one, age of .316 and. a fielding aerage of , -980. That is the best world's ser- ies. batting average and the second best fielding average: The best, fielding average was also made by the Athletics, .985, in 1913. The two teams were" much the same in 'make-up, Davis, Collins, Barry aud Baker were the infield both Nedis, and a great infield they were. The outfielders in 1910 were Strunk, Lord, Hartsel and Murphy; three years later they were Murphy, Old- ving and Strunk. Bender and Coombs were the pitching strength in 1910, and -Bender, Bush and Plank ries did the mound jwork against Giants three. years later, Schang was thé backstop reliance in 1913, and Thomas and Lapp did it in 191 Either was a powerful combinatign, strong infielding, bat- ting and pitching, but considering the exceptional batting, sharp fielding high class pitching alone by the 1910 eam and that the Cubs, a hitherto vincible club, were beaten. easily, t appears that the 1910 = Athletics were. the Hest of all the teams in the orld's series.

The Cubs 'of 1908; 1907 and 1908 must always be considered with respect, the kind of team you {lift your hat to. They rank high among the elect, for such top grade players as Kling, Brown, Overall, Tinker, Steinfeldt, Holman, Schultz, Slagle and Sheckard composed them. They hit .269 fWvhen they beat the Detroits in 1907 and fielded .954. In base running in that series they far and away excelled any other contend- er, They stole, eightéen bases, an unequaled number for the Cotober classic, Yet they: were beaten In 1906 by the White Sox, who batted below .200 and fielded around 960. other igstan of figures being de- ceptive.

When the Giants. won the series in 1905 they did it with a batting average of only :208 and a fielding percentage of 972. But they did dave Mathewson and McGinnity, with Wiltse in reserve, just as the White Sox in 1906 had Walsh and White and the Braves in 1914 had Rudolph, James and Tyler. quent years when they were winning the series had great pitching strength tog--Coombs, Plank and Bender, for instance." How tliey would have far- ed against Mathewson and McGin- ity, or Rudolph, "Tyler and James, or Walsh and White as opposing: bat- tery strength is the purést 'conjecture (save that Plank and Bender couldn't carry the Athletics through'in 1914).
