WILL NUMBER OF GAMES IN
WORLD SERIES Be CHANGED

Is the nine-game world series too
long?
Judge lands, commissioner of
baseball, feels that it is.
President Johnson of the Ameri-
can League takes a similar view. AS
a matter of fact, the American
League head has always been a
strong advocate of the seven-game
series. He strongly opposed the
change to nine games.
President Heydler of the National
League is in favor of the nine-game
series. He admits the clash be-
tweel the two New York teams did
drag, but feels that it was due to all
the games being played in one city.
Since such a happening is certain
to be the exception, he does not be-
lieve the 1921 series a fair one on
which to draw conclusions.
There is no denying that the New
York series did get a bit tiresome.
Possibly it was because all the
games were played in the one city.
The fact that the attendance fell off
about ten thousand for the eighth
game made it seem that the public
had nor than its fill.
1t has always seemed that a
seven-game series was ideal. The
players much prefer the shorter
series. The magnates who profit
considerably from the extra games,
no doubt look on the nine-game af-
fair with favor.
The world series should be short
and snappy. yet long enough to give
the ~contending teams a chance to
show their real ability. Three in
five games is too short, five in nine
seems a trihe too long. while four in
sever looks like the best bet. Judge
Lands is certain to suggest that the
series be shortened. The final deci-
sion. however. will be up to the
magnates.

will start at 8 o'clock.
The Roosevelt team has been de-
feated only once this season, this
victory being credited TO the Recrea-
ton team of Plainfield and the game
was played on the Plainfield grounds.
Outside of this game the borough
representatives were scored on only
one this season, and they hold a
victory over the Atlantics of Eliza
