~ 4 world series between the two
New York clubs would De the fourth
Chapter of a base ball history begin
ming to grow stale by repetition. The
New York clubs have as good a right
r 20 Win Championships and play world
series as any otherS--but the rest OF
. the country is hoping they will not
do 1t this Year at least.
. The arrangements for world Sc
ries between the two New York clubs
would be identical with those of last
year. One day tho teams would play
on the historic Polo Grounds and the
next on til" bit of marsh that Col
Rupert rescued from the Harlem
and decorated with q great stadium.
. No new stands would need to be
built.
If the Giants should play Detroit
the Ty gers would have more to do
than the Yankees. Detroit might feel

, after that.
If the Giants and Washington
should play, train service is such that
the tea ms could be accommodated by

series so willed. they could alternate
.o the games, playing the first in one
city and the secoRd in the other.
The only difficulty about this ar
rangement would be that the play
sers, aud those who were compelled
to follow the series, would be obliged
Ito sleep continuously upon trains and
that might not add to their comfort.
1T certainly would tend TO make all
'-of the crowd peevish.
: Were the Giants TO play ST. Louis
4 there would be three games in each
e city and probably two days between
series. There could be no safety be-
tween New York and st. Louis with
out a two-day lapse. 1t is a long
ride between towns and the players
would need rest.
So far as transportation is con-
cerned, any arrangement that would
go for New York, would also go
for Brooklyn.
Easy Jaunts for Pirates.
Pittsburgh to New York would be
L very easy jaunt If Pittsburgh and
fthe Yanks cIashed. Pittsburgh to
Detroit would be an old trail, ~
through the State of Ohio, which has
been travelled once before. Pittsburgh
to Washington would be a new
junket, but it isn't in the least i'm
probable that just that may be the
route OF the 1924 series.
Probably a day would be allowed to
elapse between series, because it is
a mountain ride, between the two
cities, and while the journey ordi-
narily may be made in a night, there
are likely to be delays.
Pittsburgh to st. Louis is another
new trail, but the chance of that
Eoute being travelled is so remote that
it hardly needs TO be considered. If
the series did turn out that way, there
would have to be a two-day hiatus
for each shift in all probability.
