Corporal Mickie adds: Being sta
toned here close to Washington and
seeing most of the games played at
American League Park and also
keeping tab on all the players OF
both the American and National
Leagues through your sporting
pages which I think are the best In
the country, I submit the above
selection. II Mr.. Babe Ruth doesn't
pick the same team, he won't pick
very far from it."
You notice that Corporal MicIxie
deviates somewhat from the regu.
lar run OF outfielders, keeping
Speaker but giving him ROush and
Carey for partners. Jameson and
Heilman have been getting the
Outfield bertlas with Speaker In so
many selections, 1t is refreshing to
see ROush and Carey come in for
praise Of which they are certainly
worthy.
Skillet" is pleased to see that his
free world series trip contest has
reached far out across the country
TO Cincinnati. Ohio, where F. L.
Rammacker, 223 Walnut street, mas

O resident OF Washington, read
your paper and, being an "umpty

terested in your world series trip
contest
G. L. Glaze, expert accountant,
1900 e street, has set his statistical
mind to work on an all-American
team and can find no better ma
terial OF which to build it than right |
here in Washington. Consequently |
he picks Liebold. Peckinpaugh, Cos |
lin. Rice, Judge, Ruel, Harris, |
Bluege, johnson and Russell.
Mr.Glaze evidently has been do
ing some close calculating over
the averages and comes to the
following conclusion, viz and TO
wit: THAT a player who would
get one mere hard assist or out
double play i'm two games than
some other player i'm the same
position, could hit 100 points less
than such other player and be Of
equal value to a team"
Furthermore, Mr.. Glaze is thor
oughIy convinced after due de1ibera-
ton, that a pitcher who is right |
needs no relief and il not right |
then the team needs one who is
right and has proved his worth as
such. He claims these statements
are deducted by the process OF "ac-
and Skillet" will have to
yield to his mathematical advan-
tage.
The only counting Skillet" can
do is on the calender. which tells
him that after today the bugs have
only four more days to do their
stuff, after which he will not be
for any vanished hopes
or disappointed suitors. Here is an
other batch of answers which show
the fans are thinking long and deep
on this problem:
William Herrick. who is deeply
absorbed in the world series trip
contest, suggests that Skillet
print in this newspaper an alpha
betical list of those. who are picking
teams. Skillet" would
like to comply with this suggestion.
