are disappointed, but we feel that the

race horse They jumped into the
worlds series right on the heels of the
greatest championship race known in
baseball history and without any oppor-

II do not think that Mr.. Jennings dur

in handling his team during the series.

1t was his managing which brought them
to the head of the American league.
