The Washington times., 1925-08-27

The first one has to do with the
habit which has cropped up in the
closing days of the contest OF raii-
ing to specify which berths IN the
outfield YOU wish your trio to &C.
emmy. Dozens of the fans are JUST
naming three Joutfielders without as
signing them to the left, center or
right field jobs.
THAT Is one reason why the cou-
pon has been provided every oay
for use in this contest. It's use -
not compulsory but has been aoVo-
Gated to make everything c 1
and specific and many. many lans
who have failed to use 1t nave gone
astray because they falleo 20 Pu.
the positions after the outrieioers
names.
That is just one error which has
become common. If you nave
heen maaxing il, send in your
team again with this detail taken
care of and your chances are
still as good as ever.
Secondly, a great number or fans
who have desired to pick the name
put an initial before the names.
There being two Rices playing out
field positions, one on the Grill
men and one on the st. Louis
Browns. an initial should precede
that name whenever it is chosen.
The Washington Rice's name Is
Edgar s. Rice. He is known more
commonly as Sam, but the use OF
either tsE'' or 'sS'' will be taken TO
mean the Washington right fielder,
while the ST. Louis Rice Is Harry
and the mere initial H" should be
used If that particular Rice Is
meant.
You can see what a confusion
this would cause in case Babe Rutn
were to name either OF the Rlces
on his team. It would cause even
more of an upheavel II both Rices
should be chosen by Babe, as
Samuel Edgar has shifted about
somewhat, although Skillet" ism
sure at this writing whether Harry
Rice has played any other position
than right field this year or not.
Eff You have Ibeen guilty OF
either of these breaches of accu-
racy, be sure to send i'm your line
mn and explanation once more,
as IL will stand alone. even
fIrGrsh your previous one might
be thrown out because it is In
complete.
Another thing which should in
terest the fans who want their
teams to be sure 60 ge: thorough
consideration. It concerns the fifty
word explanation Of your team
which must accompany all selec.
tions. This is very important and
is to be strictly adhered to as one
Of the cardinal rules of this con
test
In case of a tie with some other
competitor on the basis of Ruth's
team, then the reasoning used in
the explanation would be looked to
by the judges for a decision. In
case one explanation was as good
as the other. then there would be a
tie indeed, but in case one team
had no explanation accompanying
II. the tie would be broken in favor
of the one having an explanation
no matter how poor it might be.
Here is the team and explanation
offered by Irwin Stein, one OF last
years ticket winners to local games
Vance. Observation-Disclosures az
brilliant a performer as last year
about the best there is in the pitch
ing business.
Gray, pitcher-Performin in q
sensational manner. Connie Mack's
reliance and dependence in this
mans ability is surely being re
warded in no small measure.
SchaIk, catcher-A human pep.
per box; playing most remarkable
ball; a catcher of no mean ability,
and no doubt the man behind
Eddie Collins in putting the
White Sox over.
Bottomley, first base-Hitting anC
fielding at a remarkable gait; hai
been consistent performer
throughout the season.
Collins, second base-Enjoying ;
great year Of most brillian
