The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-02

Both teams look to be on a par so far as pitchers and catchers go- neither club having an invincible bat tery department. The Giants appear to have a bit more classier and de- pendable outfie1d than the Yankees, while the Yankees infield does not appear to excel the Giants. IL is ad- nitted that the Giants are a. bit weak al third place with Groh, who has bad leg.

\ World Series Guess.
 While the Yankees will be the fa- vorites in the World Series games that open Wednesday at the Polo Grounds the chances of the Giants to cop the bunting again are excel lent. The odds may be one-sided and will probably be larger than war ranted. The team that gets the breaks in the opening tits will win.

Always a Yankee ssympathizer, the Giants again loom up as cold bIooded winners in the impend- ing series, to the writer.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-02

It's a matter of guess-worf on the batting of either team. Both clubs are provided with heavy stickers and the old apple is sure to be binged-but the hits that are made at Opportune times when runners are on the bases, will bring over the victorious runs.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-02

Never underestimate a. team with the inherited fighting aRalities of the Giants and the fiery. battling spirit or their peerless leader - McGraw. There's no argument that McGraw ex- cells Miller Huggins as 8 leader by big margin.

There have been comparisons. galore, but the Yankees have no great advantage over the Giants, except to the partisan fan. Tho batting, fielding and pitching rec ords made in the season that closed yesterday will not win tho world series. It will be the hits and stellar plays made in tho series.

Tim McNamara's Success.
 Two notable events marked the closing games, in the major !. leagues, yesterday. Tim McNa- 4 mara, former Bridgeport High school twirler pitching for. the v> Braves shut out the Giants .al- lowing the McGrayymen only two hits. In the game between the Yanl<s and Washington, Babo Ruth famed with the bases filled.

But, there's one peculiar twist to the situation with McNamara's Going to the Braves. Arthur DevIin. last year, while at New field Park on a scouting junket for the Giants. was asked what he fought of McNamara. "Never make a big Ieaguer," was DevIin's reply to the ouiZZing scribe. But it didn't take Devlin long to sign up the former Bridgeport High twirIer when he landed in Boston.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-02

Tine performances of McNamara add to the glorious sport record of the Red and Black It was only q few years ago that Inc made his reputation here. When he went to Fordham he joined the baseball squad and made good. In his last two years at the Fordham institution he at- tracted the attention of major league scouts by his strikeout records against opposing colle- giate mines.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-02

It was through the agency of Arthur Devlin, scout for the Braves and former Fordham baseball coach, that Dev1in landed in Beantown. One of Devlin's first acts when he Joined the Braves was to acquire McNama ra and it looks as if the old Giant star has landed a good one.

Checkers.

A round dozen checker playing
members of Orleans Community club,
including a few friends outside the
club, have joined in plan to match
wits at this favorite old game. They
met at the club rooms Monday even
ing to formulate plans. While they
do not dignity the arrangement by
the name of tournament" the plan
follows something along that line.
The dozen were chosen in two sides
by J. B. Rogers and Hiram Allen as
leaders. The six on each side will
each play three games with each play
er on the other team to determine
which is the better team. After that
it is probable that the leaders on both
sides may settle their relative merits
by further games. Rogers has as as
sistants, Baird, Montgomery, Aiken
SWEET and Churchill. Allen has Ham
ilton, Gross, Ross, Trip and Taylor.
The results will be shown on the club
bulletin board as the play progresses.

to be done in the summer.
An additional collection lateral is
now being dug at the Oak street plant,
in order to give employment to local
men who are in need Of work This
move was taken by the City Council
last week for this purpose. The work
needed to be done before another sum-
mer's increased demand, and it was
believed advisable to do it now rather
than donate funds for the relief of
those who might be down and out for
want Of job.
1t is hoped and believed by the Com
mission, whose purpose it is to serve
the public. that the completion of the
present work will assure to users of
! city water in Wisconsin Rapids an
abundant supply of pure, clear water.
If it does not, they will keep on trying
to make it better, and will welcome
suggestions from any person to help
them overcome all difficulties and com
plants.
Supt. C. P. Gross of the City Water
& Lighting Commission has within the
last week received reports from the
State Psychological Department at
Madison which show the following:
Water from a tap at the Lowell
School and from faucet in residence
on the East Side was found to be low
IN chlorine and nitrates and in bac-
terra growing at body temperature,
and was considered safe for drinking
purposes. The report on water from
; the Frank Wood spring and from the
Drake street spring stated that the
amount of nitrates and of bacteria in
cubated in gelatin was much higher
than in the water from the city wells.
Il was pronounced safe, but statements
were to the effect that the springs
should be watched and the water from
them tested frequently.
Residents on the East side, however,
state that while the city water in their
houses is gradually becoming clearer,
it is not yet as clear as would be de
sirable, and they say that it has a
somehat offensive taste and odor. If
this taste and odor are not from the
source, some effort should be made to
investigate the mains and plumbing
and find the cause of the trouble It
would seem to beea matter for patrons
iand the Commission to work cut to-
gether, and it is probable that some
method will be found to improve the
condition still further.

State Board of Vocational Education,
former member of the Industrial Com

favorably mentioned for the office of
Governor of this state.
George P. Hambrecht, as we know
him. is well qualified for the office of
Governor if he should so be chosen
by the people of Wisconsin. He is a
genial fellow, an able lawyer a man
of varied experience and is excep-
tionally well qualified for such po-
sition. We have no knowledge that
he is candidate, or is likely to be-
come one, but if he should we want
to say that the people who know him
best here at home will be glad to do
everything that they can to further
his selection for the position. Give
US George P. Hambrecht for Govern
