my husband is sure he is going
TO be your guest at the world
series and as I always have to go
with him everywhere he goes to
keep him out of trouble, am
entering my all-star team in your
contest.
CHOW you know what you are
Gacing-the likelihood OF taking both
husband and wife. 1 am a great
follower Of the grand old game and
I really believe the mems names
1 have enclosed are the greatest
that could be put on. one team.
They are all heavy and sure bat
ters; are way above the average
run.getters and as folders they
have no EQUALS. The pitchers are
In a class by themselves"
And you should see how those
two people who live under one
roof and who agree as to most
everything else, differ on base;
definitely Independent views on
baseball. Here is the wife's team!
Sheely. first base; Hornsby.
second base; Frisch, third base;
Sewell, shortstop; Jameson. right
field; Cobb, center field; Falk, LETT
field; Schang, catcher; johnson ana
Vance pitchers.
Now for the husbands choice:
Fourier. first base; Hornsby,
second base; CARRIER, shortstop;
Frisch, third base; Jameson, right
field; Cobb, center field; Cuyler'
left field; Bassler, catcher; Johnson
and Vance pitchers.
So you see here is household

s'Skillet" is pleased to note that
wear have come through with selec-
lions for this years prizes. James
Ashby, who barely missed a trip to
New York, has sent in several
choices of teams, one Of which is
printed below. He writes:
""I am entering your contest
again. Last year came out
fhird and won a Babe Ruth bat,
and getting a scent Of the real
bait. / am not satisfied. l have
broken the bat 1 won last year.
1T pitched for the country Buck
ingham) high school team this year
and some day 1 hope to be in the
major leagues. Wishing you the
hest of luck and hoping to see
mart of the world series with yoI
in Washington, remain, etc."
"Skillet" will say to one and al
that If Young Ashby continues t.
break Babe Ruth bats, he certainly
ought to make the big leagues
some day for his hitting alone.
Well, skillet revealed McIn
kaer's and Dezendorf's teams to yot
fans earlier in the season so hi
should not withhold Ashby's team
here goes:
Schmidt catcher; Pennock anC
Vance, pitchers; Sisler, first base
