Ry LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Sports Editor. The Times

A real test for two OF the cnam-
MONS kid pitchers is booked Tor
today when Harry Kelly, fresh
from a victorious season with the
New Orleans Pelicans, and Joe
Thomas, a rookie from the Nash
vile Volunteers, will be sent against
the pesky ST. Louis Browns. BucKy
Harris believes that both OF these
Youngsters are within half step
of shining in fast company and
wants to test his theory against
strong opposition such as tnat
always offered by the Browns. Joe
Giard. a clever southpaw, or Joe
Bush. veteran forkball hurler, is
expected to fling for the Browns
Kelly was with the Gr1frs at
Tampa and would have remained
with the team but for his youth
and lack OF experience. He was
sent to New Orleans to acquire just
the polish he needed and Bucky
Harris believes the smiling lad is
now about ready to hop right of
into the big league puddle and do
his own swimming.
Thomas Is absolutely an unknown.
This is his first year on the hill,
vet Scout Joe Engel reports him
advanced far enough to risk using
against a big league club.
The Browns have now obtained
an even break with the cham
Mons on the seasons play. each
team winning and losing ten.
Tomorrow Sisters lads make their
final appearance in Washington
for the year and it will also be
the Last game in the Capital for
the two-time champions for a
week.
IF the Griffs are to equal the
work of the Chicago White Sox in
1919 in taking every series from
every opponent, they must win
both today and tomorrow. 1t is
probable that they will fail, thus
giving the Browns the proud dis
tinctfon of spelling this record.
Dixie Davis, always tough for
the Griffmen, turned them back In
the opening game, to 8, delivering
the hit himself that decided the
game in his. favor. The score was
tied in the ninth when Dixon sin
gled, reached second on Robertson's
sacrifice and third on a passed
ball. Davis came through with a
single, his bounce hopping over
Zachary's head and out into center
field. Dixon went over with the
run that won.
Rice's double, Goslin's single,
passes to- Adams and Joe Harris,
with Bluege's sacrifice fly gave
the champions two runs in the
opening frame, but the Browns tied
it up in the second on singles by
jacobson and Evans, followed by
Dixon's double.
Rice's single, with Benefits wild
throw, became a run in the fifth
on Adams long fly. The Browns
tied it up again in the eighth on
singles by Bennett and Gerber, a
pass to jacobson and Joe Evans
single to left.

But Beyond johnson Bambino
Says IFS Hard to Dope
Pitchers
By BABE RUTH

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-"What
do you think of the pitching in the
coming world series ?"
I guess more people have asked
me that question in the last week
than you could shake q stick at.
/ hear it everywhere / turn. And
it's tough, tough question.
It isn't made any easier by the
fact that have seen Pittsburgh
only a few times since the season
opened either. But there are some
things that just naturally stick
out like a sore thumb. For IN
stance, there's Walter Johnson.
It doesn't take any deep doping
to figure that Walter is about the
best single bet of the series. The
old boy is going great guns this
year-better than he has gone In
several seasons. And which is more
he has a lot of speed-which. Ma
tional League men tell me, is big
thing against the Pirates.
If was to pick one single
pifcher who was sure to win
game during the season I'd name
johnson. But after that's over,
then the going gets tough.
Somehow, I don't figure left
handlers to get by particularly well
in this battle. Ruether and Zacn-
frfa
against Pittsburgh they go up
against an array of rfght-hand Lit
tiers who have been seeking left
handlers to the showers all season
long. Zachary's slow curve might
make trouble for Pittsburgh the
first time they look it over-but I'm
afraid old Dutch" viii have his
work cut out for him. You've got
to remember that his stuff is not
new to the Pirates, either. He was
in the National League for a long
time and they know all about him.
Which leaves Stanley Coyeleskie
and Fred Marberry to pick up where
Walter leaves off. Convey has a lot
Of stuff. And when he's right he'll
make trouble for any club, don't
care who they are. This stuff about
his pitching a low curve ball is the
bunk. Convey pitches them where
he figures they'll be toughest to hit.
MAYBE he pitches low curves to
one club, but he may pitch en-
high and inside to another.
The Pirate pitchers 1 don't
know SO well. Meadows, OF
course. stands out as the best Of
the lot. Specs has been up a long
time and he's learned a lot about
pitching. That helps. I've al
ways figured that it was the
wise pitcher who got by in
world series, anyhow. i played
against Morrison couple of sea-
sons ago and Ill say this Tor
Johnny: He's got one the snaheSt
curves 1 ever looked overland
I've seen a lot of them. And
talk all you please, a good curve
ball pitcher is always q trouble
maker when he's right.
Yde is a great lefthander, but /
don't figure Iefthanders to do much
for either club. They may fool me,
but it looks like it would be the
righthanders who would fight II
out
That makes it Johnson, Marberry
and CoYeleskie against MEADOWS,
Alridge, Morrison and Kremer.
They're all good, but Johnson is
the best of the lot. In a long
series, 1t would be toss-up' put
in a short series I've got hunch
the Senator'S pitchers will have
little the best of the argument.
But you can't tell. And I'm stay
ing with my story that the break
win decide.

By DAVIS ]. WALSH

international News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Fealty,
custom, one-way minds or what
have you have prompted baseball
men since time immemoriaI to
string along with the league they
happen to adorn, when they step
out with world series prediction.
But once an individualist, always
lone hand. John McGraw today
declared that he had no more
choice than a man with a single
necktie, color pink.
He, therefore, disagreed with
the prevailing Wall Street odds
which quote the Pirates an Ito
10 favorite over the Senators.
I'm the first place, no odds are
justified on the world seties," he
said. 1.-THE better team does not
always win because the breaks
weigh so heavily in the final result.
In the second place, / cannot sec
how any man can pick winner in
short series with two teams 40
evenly matched as the Pirates and
Senators.
Both are fast, have a lineup
of good hitters and can look for
good pitching every day. The
Pirates are a lot OF speed boys,
the Senators have the experience.
Don't overlook the value of this
one.
'"TEe Senators have been through
the mill, the Pirates have not.
This will count a lot i'm short
series. because here seasons form
. can be thrown out.
ION the other hand, don't look
for Reuther and Zachary to cut
much ice because the Pirates mur-
der lefthanders. Johnson and Co
veleskie will have to carry the bur-
den of Washington pitching, and,
offhand, / would say that the Sen
ator's success Just about depends
on their ability toSWfn two games
each.
II think Walter Johnson himself
will decide the outcome. If he is
good, the Senators have an ex-
cellent chance to win. If he isn't,
their chances will not be worth
much. In any case, he VIII have
to be a whole lot better than he
was against us last year to beat
the Pirates.

Georgetown Meets Drexel In-
stitute Uncertain OF Foes
Strength
By r. d. THOMAS

Cheated by World Series ex-
citement of some Of the attention
that ordinarily would be theirs,
three varsity football teams win
swing into action today in the
first games of the 1926 campaign
here.
Georgetown and DrexeI lnsti-
tute are scheduled on the Hill
top, George Washington and Blue
Ridge College in Central Stadium
and Maryland and Washington
College at College Park, all three
games starting at 8 o'clock.
Georgetown has imported bIeacher
seats from American League Park
and expects to have them comfort
ably filled The Blue and Gray has
reason to hope for a successful year
and scores of fans who have re-
viewed practice sessions on the Hill
top have awaited eagerly this OPP
portunity to see Lou Little's promis-
ing team under fire.
Drexe1 Institutes eleven comes
from Philadelphia expecting to show
more than Georgetown bargained
for when the game was booked. 1t
is understood. The marticulation
of much football talent at Drexei,
where first year men and transfers
are permitted to play with the
varsity, makes the Philadelphia
appear to be quite formidable on
the face of things.
But thel Blue and Gray is pre-
prepared against surprise. The
Georgetown team that faces Drex-
ell is ready for a hard day after
solid month Of work.
The opening lineup Of the team

the exception of the tackle posi-

won them the jobs for the opening
game.
