With the intercity series looming up
with two games in each city in the
nature Of double-headers. 1t would appear
that the clubs lucky enough to win both
ends in its own city should get the title.
II one team can WIN the double-header
in its own town, then 1t certainly ought
to be able to split even on the one in the

to see the series end in a tie with the
two clubs splitting even in each city.

there is no doubt that he will have to go
elsewhere next season, but will probably

Otto Knabe of the Phillies is mentioned
as his successor. Knabe is wanted because
he is q player who knows the game and
puts plenty Of life into his work.
Now that President Somers Of the
Cleveland club has gone on record as not

It would seem that there will be q change
