A special train will leave Satur-

in new uniforms, will make the trip
and the "howling hundred" will be
tuned up for the occasion.
Illinois has never forgotten the

The Pirates are considered strong
er than the Senators because of more
quantity of good pitching, heavier
hitting from eight men in the lineup,
who are 300 or better and greater
speed afoot, but a close analysis Of
the figures will show these advant-

Coming into the last stretch the
Pirates We're leading the National
League in team batting with an av
erage Of .306. but the Senators were
leading the American League with a
mark of 1906. The Pirates had stolen
142 bases and the veteran Senators
had stolen 1872. There isn't any great
difference in those figures.
Harris Knows staff
When it comes to pitching ii does
seem the Pirates have more good
pitchers than the Senators, but the
Pirate staff isn't as flexible as the
Washington staff and no manager IN
baseball can handle and mix up his
pitchers as well as young Buck
Harris did in the series last year.
Harris, in beating the Giants last
year, knew almost exactly how many
innings his pitchers were good for
and he made his plans accordingly.
He had in Marberry-and he -.ili
has in him-the greatest relief pitch

invaluable service again this year.

I regard Pittsburgh as one of the
greatest teams that ever has rep
resented the National League in the
World Series.
Pittsburgh can hit, has world
of speed and boasts very capable
pitching. 1t richly deserved to win
the National League pennant.
Likewise, Washington is a great
bali club, the best in the American
League. There has been no huIte
connected with the victory Of either
club. The World Series clash will
be battle between the two logical
contenders.
Stack Up Even
1t is my opinion that seldom, if
ever. have two more evenly matched
clubs met in the fall classic.
A careful analysis of the strength
and weakness of the two teams
probably would give Pittsburgh a
slight edge. The Giants went into
the series Of last year with an ad-
mitted margin, but didn't win.
No one knew in advance that the
Washington groundkeeper would
have two pebbles in just the proper
spot to turn APPARENTLY easy outs into
basehits. Those two pebbles had
much to do with deciding the issue.
Also there was no advance dope
on the fact that in the final inning
Of the deciding game Hank" Gowdy
would trip over his mask and fail TO
catch an easy foul fly from Muddy"
Ruel's bat.
No one knew that Fate would then
step into the picture and ordain that
Ruel should take advantage of the
slip by cracking out a two-bagger,
the forerunner of the winning tally.
II is baseball tradition that the
better team does not always emerge
the victor in a World Series.

With prices slowly rising and

the month of January saw the
geratest volume of business activity
the country has known since the
spring of 1923.
A summary of general business
and financial conditions for Janu-
airy and February, issued by the

showed favorable increases in all
branches of industry.
The output of basic commodities
reached the highest point in two
years, according to the summary.
Employment in Industrial establish
ments increased, remaining only
slightly below the level of a year
ago. Prices of farm products con.
tinued to advance, and there were
increases also in the wholesale
prices of other commodities.
Production in the basic industries
advanced 8 per cent during Janu-
airy.
