the interested parties that II would be
easy money for the two clubs and money

Citizens of Texas are too far removed
from the scene of real worlds champion
ship baseball games to attend in any great
numbers, and yet the interest excited by
those six games played In this city and
New York last October was worldwide
and intense from one end OF this country
to the other. The gate receipts In that

sum could have been doubled and then
doubled again could 1t have been so ar
ranged that all the baseball enthusiasts
In the United States could have had the
opportunity to attend. II was the most
interesting baseball series ever played.
but the wise heads now recognize that II
could have been made even more interest
ing and also more profitable had a greater
number OF games been played. Connie
Mack argues that had II been known
that the series could not end until after
the ninth game the rush for tickets for
the first and second games would not
have been made with such wild abandon.
He thinks that longer series would
break up the habit OF depending on one
star pitcher to win the required number
of games, and as a result give a truer test
of the relative abilities OF the two teams"
