Cubs And Red Sox In Worlds
Series Battle Fail To ShoO
Class OfFon1er Champ Teams
ny JACK VEIOCK-

THE Cubs and Red SoX are by no
/ means the best looking teams
that have entered a worlds series
Take q slant at the lineups Of the
major league champs who are in the
field for the 1913 worlds series and
you will find nothing in the way Of
infield OF outheld combinations that
can possibly equal memories Of some
OF the great teams Of the past
Insofar as the pitching stats
are concerned. the 1918 cham
pions stack up pretty we'll, and
critics throughout the major
leagues are aEreed that the series
Will be more Of pitchers series
than anything else
But there Is nothing in the combi-
nation OF McInniss Shean. Scott and
COffey 20 remind one OF that great
combination Of the old Mackmeu-

The Cub outfield with Flack. Mann
and paskert. may be called an eNpe-

a ranking outfielder for a good many
years. and he IS old as ball players
go. Mann and Flack have never set
the world afire with their playing.
