''SkiIlet's" prediction is on Septem-

winners of "Skillet's'' contest are
announced in this newspaper.
1t is a lamentable fact that about
one out of every five teams re-
c04ved so far in the free world
series contest have failed to be
accompanied by the short explana-
ton required in this competition.
Evidently some of the fans haven't
thoroughly digested that rule which
calls for about a fifty-word ex-
PLANTATION of the team to accom-
pany each choice submitted in this
venture.
Sam Carnan, .62z Eleventh street

this is the third time he has picked
teams in the Babe Ruth contests,
but that he is not discouraged be-
cause he has been impressed in
former years by the fact that merit
alone will earn the world series
