Michigan in an intersectional con
test. as has been suggested.
The one point in favor Of d
change in the program from the
athletic standpoint. it finds, would
be the advantage of a constantly
shifting schedule.
But the substitution of Michigan
would counteract and more than
cDunteract all possible benefits. For
Harvard and Princeton to break
contact would be for the Big Three
to be disrupted for the program OF
athletics to receive a severe set
back.
Under the heading, 1.-The Grim
son Views With DisfaVOr," the
student paper reviews it's activities
last year against over emphasis
in football and tells of the changes
that have resulted at Harvard as
result Of the papers work,
which included reorganization of
the coaching staff, cut in size of
the squads and expert coaching
of the class teams.
The article says, in part. The
Crimson believes that the athletic
direction has erred in the matter
of the proposed substitution of
Michigan for Princeton in the foot
ball schedules for 1927 and 1923.

YANKS ST I
FOR RAZZ

ST. LOUIS, Oct 5.-I've been
around baseball a long time, ana
I've played in lot of world series,
but I never in my life saw a town
that had gone so completely base
ball nutty as this one. NO won
der the Cardinals have a fighting
ball club; no wonder they've been
able to go along through all the
tough battles of the season without
cracking.
From the moment we got into
ST. Louis there have been parades
and shouting and yelling every min
ute, and unless Sam Breadon Is
all wrong. the scene out at the
ball club this afternoon will be
something terrific.
Sam says the Cards would have
filled a 100000 park here every
day il they had one. And that's
the tip off on what it means to
st. Louis to win pennant after
almost 40 years Of waiting.
Some people figure that playing
in enemy territory where all the
fans are on our backs, will trouble
the Yankees and make them ner-
vous. And it might il we hadn't
expected Just what we will get.
We've all played before st. Louis
crowds before. We know how loyal
they are 10 the home club and how
they like to razz the visiting play
ers.
Consequently it doesn't bother
us. And it won't bother us this
afternoon. Ball games, after all,
are won with runs and base hits
land all the bowling i'm the world
don't carry a fly ball into safe
territory, or help an infieldeF
come up with a ground ball for
q double play.
AS see it we have the edge on
| the Cardinals from here cut. They
have two pitching aces" they've
| used them both and we got an even
| break against them. And I figure
Ruether, Hoyt and Shawkey, are
| better than any trio they can toss
against us. Then Penneek, with a
| few DAYS rest. will be able to pitch
again, and what Herbie can do has
already been demonstrated.
/ OF course, the Cards win shoot
Sherdel and Alex back again before
the series is over. But we've al
1
doesn't figure to pitch any such
sunday. 1t simply isn't in the
Cards for man to pitch two such
games in one series.
And even il he should Hernsby
would still be forced to pitch some
of his younger, less experienced
pitchers in the series, and 1t is in
the game the second stFingers
pitch that the series will be de-
cided.
| A lot has been written about the
st. Louis ball park and it's effect
on the series play. The Yanks are
used to those short fences. They've
played all their st. Louis games In
that park for years. And the right
field wall, which is the shortest
one in the park, is a mark for left
handed hitters. Look over the bat
ting order and you'll see that the
Yanks have four left handed hit
tiers while the Cards have only two
in their lineup, which would give
us a two-to-one advantage SO faI
as that right field wall Is con
| cerned.
All the Yankees need to win this
series is a little more hitting power
| It's there in the club if we can get
it out. And it'll come. TOO. See il
| it doesn't. I've said before that nc
pitchers can still the bats of some
of our sluggers through the whoie
series. l still believe just that.
I've a sneaking bunch that the
| Yankees are due to start hitting
and mighty soon, too.

Washington, next to St. Louis,
is the most recent novice to
world series honors and for that
reason possibly knows better
than any of the other cities the
volcanic thrill which is vibrat-
ing this settlement on the far
side of the Mississippi river.
Sporting historians have agreed
for the past two years that
Washington made more Of
Mardi Cras of its initial world
series than any town of pre-
vious baseball distinction, but
ST. Louis is today conceded
to have gone farther into hys-
terra over similar occasion
than even the elated District OF
Columbia of 1924.
So the Cardinals have the
Yankees in their own back yard
today ready to take a new step
forward with the moral sup
port of home town fandOm as
a second line of attack, Judg-
ing by the expenditure of vocal
and hand-pOwered energy which
has deafened the landscape since
late yesterday afternoon, there
cannot be much in reserve for
the actual hOstilities; nut then
baseball enthusiasm knows no
bounds here in the midwest and
is in rare contrast with the
passiveness of New YOrk'S hlase
conduct under like circumstances.
Baseball has probably never
encountered a similar setting
to the one which endoWs that
chapter starting today. Situated
in a section nearer to the heart
of the land than any former
series, ST. Louis is a colOrful
pageant of humanity and run
ming the gauntlet of rich cattle
men from Montana and the Da-
kotas down through the stole
tirbesmen of the nearby Indian
reservations to he easily
identified moving picture colo
nists of Hollywood.
All of them are here with
their big bank rolls, their fancy
leather boots and spurs, their
war feathers and their studio
swagger. The East and West
and all that lies between are
merged here to see a spectacle
that will be staged in the second
smallest ball park in the coun-
try-the home baliwick of the
Philadelphia Nationals being the
only smaller enclosure in either
league.
In such a setting and Indian
summer upon it, st. Louis is to-
day bidding for the edge over
New York. What the celebra-
ton will be here in case this
margin comes to say naught of
a greater advantage which would
mean a world championship is
something which would take a
greater Imagination than that
of your humble interpreter to
predict.
From a strictly neutral stand
point, it would seem that the
biggest blow-off that could hap
pen here would eliminate In the
possible meeting of one Her

He was right. I never saw a

that Alex did in that second game,

He should pitch again around

Don't try to get rid of rheumatism at the expense of your stomach and then after your stomach is ruined have the rheumatism still with you. Mineral remedies are bad for the stomach and nature never intended minerals as a cure. Who ever heard of A dog eating iron when they are sick. No. dog eats grass. The cat eats catnip and never hunts around for minerals. Throw cat or a dog q pill or tablet containing minerals; they will spurn it. The above prove conclusively that herbs, leaves, barks and berries are nat ural remedies. "ERBJUS" Is the juices of 14 slected herbs combined with pure and healing glycerine.
