JUST HOW GOOD ARE
THE BOSTON BRAVES

How good are the Braves? Why. about
good enough for anybody. This team is
there" and IT must now be conceded
TO be strong outfit. despite the weak
ness OF the league. Here's a little dope
worth considering, before you rush head
long into wagering the deeds to your
family home on the Athletics:
Boston has won fifty-two games and
lost fifteen since July Is.
For two and one-half months II has
played at a nc rate.
The club has gained .193 points IN
poEIsd lBQl uI SuIpusls
It has made the three eOntendfng
teams seem weak since 1t started to
climb.
The flying Cards. at three critical
periods. faced Boston, and three times
were jolted into submission.
The Braves have outgamed their rivals
in over twenty contests-When one run
decided the issue.
Now, fellow cranlZs, Is that q record
10 be overlooked or not7
The team has shown everything that
a worlds championship club needs. in
the last two months, except the big stick
owned by the Athletics.
And when you come right Gown to It.
the question the worlds series dopester
must answer for himself is:
Can the Braves fine pitching offset the
Athletics hard hitting?
This question is answered by history,
In q way. New York, in two title series
sent the best pitching in either league
to head off the Mackmen-snd failed.

GOOD-BY, FOOTBALL,
SAYS FOSTER SANFORD
Veteran Coach Yearns for the Old
Fashioned Game of Push
and Pull.

One Of the first TO acknowledge the ef-
fectiveness and superiority Of the for
ward pass as used by Princeton in its
attack on the Rutgers eleven last Sat
urday was George Foster Sanford. the
Scarlet's head coach. He said: IT'S
going to spoil football It means the
old virile man-to-man battle down the
field is gone. am sorry about IL, but
am going to admit the effectiveness
Of the new game. I am going to start
this stun going this week"
With a touch Of Individual humor he
spoke Of placing Talman. Nash, and
Toohey and also living behind the line,
filing UP the vacant gaps with any one
obtatnable. It's q simple thing You
keep on making forward passes until
you pull one on and then you start in
over again. All you need is big men who
can look over the other peoples heads
and a Mathewson in the back field to
throw. and have a Mathewson to do 1t
with / will have the thing running in
twenty minutes"
