ADDRESS .s~sssesss
He,c's a tip-off for the fans in
contest which should force them
now ard the time the 1926-free-V
night next Monday night.
1Skillet" has just received q
of year before last-one of the boz
series "trip to New York and waite
It out IN q six-game series which
Il stands to reason that II this
ian was smart enough to creep in
under-the wire two. years ago. his
Judgment in the present baseball
and world series seat crisis should
be Of some value. And in that
belief, 'Skillet is herewith tipping
off, the hand Of Johr D. Dozen
dorf, 81 Sixth street northeast,
merely for what it is worth in the
opinions Of the readers.
True. Dezendorf missed the
winners list a mile last year,
and he may miss it two miles
this year for all ''Skillef" knows,
but IS the teams Of dozens Of
nOnwinners I'm former years have
been published from time to time,
he thinks it fair to give the
public the benefit selection sub
mitted by one who has tasted
victory I'm previous aIl-American
team contests.
Dezendorf picks our own Stanley
Cove.eskie as his first pitcher and
In his explanation pays high
trfbute to the work OF the Silent
Pole I'm behalf Of the worlds cham
pions this season. AS Coveleskie's
running mate, he selects Dazzy
Vance, OF the Brooklyn Dodgers
and thinks that this pair could
stop almost any team now doing
business In major league uniforms.
"Dezzy" likes Gordon CcchrAne,
Of the Mackmen as his backstop
and believes no catcher in either
circuit can touch him when wear
ing a mask and pneumatic pro-
tector.
Furthermore he passes up such
first basemen as Fourier, Bottom
ley, Gehrig, Grimm, Sheely. Terry
and Judge, for that dynamo OF the
St. Louis Browns, George Sisler,
who three seasons ago was touted
as being through as major league
ball player. That's who Dezendorf
picks for first base-George Sisler.
Roger Hornsby, practically .
100 per cent choice for second
baseman, Is adhered to by Dezens
dOrf and in this respect he won't
find much Of q quarrel with the
majority of fans who, are pick
ing and choosing 'em these days
for s. Finn, Esq.
al. D." also likes Bluege for the
third base job, and who doesn t.,
skillet asks you? It's hard to
show much originality in naming
your man for the off corner, as
fielder is the sweetheart Of the
game" as they say of Mary Pick
ford IN her particular sphere.
But in the matter Of shortstop,
no must give the call to Joe Sewell,
believing that Peckinpaugh has
slowed up a bit on the bases and
has not played regularly enough
this season to win the berth
as6ribed to him by Babe last year.
Goslin, our own Salem Goose,
gets the outfield call, along with
Cuyler and Speaker, and there you
have Dezendorf's idea of the fastest
combination in baseball for the 1925
season, judging by their perform
arCes to date.
Now listen to Dezendorf's own
reasons, in dis own words, as writ
ten to Skillet" himself only yes
te-day.
Here am late again on the
job, but I believe that after you
have compared this team with the
OTHERS submitted you will agree that
/ have given careful study to the
matter of selecting this 1925 all
American team. Please pick out
good seats for me at the ball park
here in Washington and don't for
get to have McInteer somewhere
around so that we can compare the
games in this world series with
those we saw in New York. Here
We are:
Where would Washington be in
this race IL il hadn't been for
CoveIeskie. who has staged the
greatest comeback in the Amerl-
can League this year? Let Cove
be on the mound with that old
splitter working and the above
team behind him and we would
have a combination that would
be unbeatable. Pick the same
team for the second game and
have Vance I'm the box and the
effect would be the same.
81 pick Cochrane to do the re.
ceiving for these men on account
Of his brilliant performance this
year both with the stick and be.
