Mention of the aam of the survivors of ejgnt year of major-league warfare reveal an Interesting fact that pitcher endure big-leagu ervte longer than any ether player. Christy J4athewon and George Wilts of th GUnta, Chief Bender, Eddie Plank and Harry Da via of the Athletic hav withstood the ravage of time with more resistance than any of. tbe other who shared in the spoil of the 190a tuaele. The first four named r.re pitchers; Davla ha outlived his usefulness a a major-league first baseman. He 1 acting in fb capacity of first Bcutenant no Manager Connie Mack, and la being retained solely because of hi knowledge of tbe intricacies of th national frolic Thus with Davis eliminated a an active player, we nave four mcmndsien who refuse to wither under Time' assault while two-scor or more player in other department have departed.

Matty, Wiltee, Plank and IJender weie practically newcomers then; they are tried and true veteran now. And at leat three of them will figure prominently in the coming clash. EACH IS A MASTER The reason' that the four hurter Lave been able to last ad long and to retain their effectiveness ao long li that each i a master in the art of con. ervatism. They hav long since learned the foolhardlness of putting every ounce of energy In every pitch.

They argue that there arc eight other players on th field to assist them and extricate them from difficulties and they pitch accordingly. Not one of, the quartette Is ever out to establish patching- records. They aro in there to keep the enemy from fcoorlng, Irrespective of how often they are hit afely. Their mastery over th ball and their bwae ball acumen forms a combinaton that ha tided them over a decade of big-league activity. Matty and Wlltse have already served in three world erle 1905, 1911, l2-While Bender and Plank have, also figured In three post-season conflict 1905, 1910 and 1911.

Verlng from the veteran to the tyros, the Giants and Athletic each possess several young players who liave yet to go through the refining Ore of the world's serlea Some of the youngsters on each team will in all probability be pressed Into the big gnmes. The Giants also have a couple r.f veteran who have never 'been fortunate enough to come in for a division of world' series receipts. They are -Arthur Frorame and Larry McLean, recently obtained from the Cincinnati club. Fromme Is likely to be -used as a relief pitcher under the Ath letic "bombardment. McLean, however.
