The Yankees will win. Indeed II
look for them to make 1t short
series. understand that 1t would
appear ungracious of me 10 sug-
gest that the Giants, leaders in
another league, might W4h, but this
sense Of loyalty to the American
Leasue has nothing 10 do w.th my
Pennock and Ruth. There are
two Of my reasons for picking the
Yankees. I believe that Pennock
win left-hand his way to victory
In every, game he starts. He is q
greatly improved pitcher
I also am certain that Ruth
viii help to win with his club.
The Giant pitchers rather stopped
him last season, but that was be-
cause Ruth was all wet. He was
trying to hit only home runs in
stead OF trying TO win ball games.
This year it Is different. He Is
one of the finest all.arOund ball
players i'm the game. Last sea-
SON he was merely a seeker after
home runs.
The fact that the whole morale
higher than last season also will
help. The team has been hard to
beat this year because every cog
In the machine functioned perfectly.
The hitting and fielding alike has
been consistent, not merely spas
modic, as was the case last season.
Another fact that is important is
that the Yankees cinched the flag
no long ago that they have had time
% rest up bit and yet all the
regulars have kept on playing hard
enough to keep in the best Of condi-
ton without having to work under
q nervous strain. The players and
manager alike have seen the neces-
sity of the men staying on the job
and not letting down, but still they
have not had to take unnecessary
chances nor have they had to work
% hard as to flag themselves out.
On the other hand, the Giants
have had fight almost to the
last and it must have petered some
OF the men out a bit.
do not look for the Giant
pitchers to be as effective as they
were last year, while / think the
Yankees win be better.

the Cards, getting himself fined
$500 and kicking about Branch
Rickey's running the club, and
Urban Shocker, of the Browns,
trying to get his release. This
is no time, of the year for any
player to get himself fined, as
they should be making extra
money with which to play various
games of cards around the Stove
League parlor.
At this stage of the game, when
a lot of youngsters are getting
chances to loose the callouses they
got on their hips from warming a
hard pine bench all season, we
hear how this and that player is
getting injured. Meusel and Pipp
of the Yanks ran up Manager

the Babe reported he had the
third finger of his right hand done

Others Of the Yankees have shown
vast improvement, but it is not the
individual improvement that I rely
upon so much as the improvement
in the machine. That is the big
thing with any ball club to have
the boys pulling together. 1t is 40
secret that last season there was
dissension on the Yankee club, but
this season every man is doing his
best for the team success rather
than for any individual distinction.
OF course, I do not know as much
about the Giants, having seen little
Of them this year, but the general
impression is that the Giants are
not stronger than they were last
year-weaker, probably. II the
Giants are not better than they
were year ago, / do not think
they will be good enough for the
greatly improved Yankees.

I hope and expect that the yam
KEGS will win over the Giants In
the world series this year. This
despite the fact that the Giants
have twice won over the Yankees in
the fall classic.
My prediction is based upon the
fact that the Yankees are a better
ball club than in the past. Indi-
viduaI stars may not have improved
so very much, though some of them
have, but the team morale is much
higher. Instead Of being merely a

I expect much from Pipp and
Dugan this year. Pipp is a better
ball, player THAI ever before. He
should be of great value to the Yam
KEGS this season. Dugan also is III
much better mood and is doing finer
work. I will be disappointed if Joe
doesn't star in this series.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-10-08

Babe Ruth is a different player
now from the Ruth who failed to
shine in the series of last fall.
Though he hasn't made so many
home runs as might have been ex-
pected, he has shown that he is a
greatly improved hitter. 1t seems
impossible that the Giant pitchers
win be able to stop this fellow.

DISEASE is DECLARED
HARDER ON THE ROBUST
From the Detroit News.


There is a popular belief that the
infectious diseases. especially those
of infancy and childhood. kill off the
weaklings and thus in the long run
improve the race by the elimination
of the less fit. This is not only a
popular and widespread belief. but it
has received the sanction and support
of some eminent men.
When the commission appointed to
study typhoid fever in our Army
camps in 1898 began its study, the
men composing it believed that they
would find that the soldiers under
par in health and generally less Wig
orous would acquire the disease more
readily than the robust. After max
ing their studies and assembling
their figures they found that the re-
suits were just the opposite. In the
first place. typhoid fever was more
prevalent among the strong and Wig
orous than among those less robust
1t has long been known that
typhoid is more prevalent among men
than among women, and more preva-
lent among young adult men than
either among children or men in ma
ture life.
However, what most surprised the
commission on typhoid was the find
ing that of those who had typhoid
fever the more robust and more Wig
orous showed the highest death rate.
On looking back over the history of
other diseases it was found that this
holds good in many epidemics In

land two centuries ago. of every
