much more effectively than a half-baked

Even under the present system. IL there
are several openings in one night the
regular critic can see and write up only
one Of them. The others are assigned TO
more less unqualified reviewers.
The plan suggested, however, requires
the regular critic TO see ali the new pro

in each case.

goes to bat in the opening game of
the annual classic tomorrow. He will
he taking part in his seventh world
series and he will then be the only
player to enjoy that distinction. AT
the present time five players share
the record Of having played in six of
the. annual series. These players are
Ruth, Home-run Baker. Eddie Col

shutout over the Brooklyn club. In
the series of 1918 against the Cubs
the Red Sox again used him as a
pitcher and he hurled is more score
less innings. He holds the world Sc
ries record of having pitched total
of 20 scoreless innings.
Ruth took part in the first world
series as a Yankee in 1921 against the
Giants. He played the outfield in six
games that year and he made hlts
in 16 times at bat. In the following
year he played the outtield for the
Yankees in all five games against the
Giants. He made only hits in II
times at bat that year.
In 1923 Ruth participated in his
third world series with the Yankees.
He played in all six games against the
Giants that year and he helped defeat
the National League champions by
making hits in 10 times at bat, FOR

series as a member of three different
clubs. He first played in two with
the Athletics. then one with the Red
Sox and then three as a member of
the Yankees. Everett Scott has been

Suggestions were made for com
bining the Women's Council League
with other local organizations, and
arrangements were made to meet
with the Washington Recreation
League next Tuesday night at the
Y. w. G. A. for the purpose of talking
over such plan.
Representatives of the Washing
ton Recreation League present last
night seemed heartily in favor of a
merger. or of arranging - system
whereby teams from their group
could graduate into the council
league (under a new organization)
when they considered that their
game had advanced sufficiently to
warrant keener competition.
Before the motion to dissolve was
acted upon last night. letter from
the Secretary of the Princess Ath-
letic Club, Margaret Ozburn. was
read, stating that, due to that clubs
afiliation with a new group. they
would not be represented at the
meeting of the Council League. A
motion was carried to send letter
of appreciation to the Princess group
for their courtesy in acknowledging
their invitation to be present last
night
1t was decided to hold the funds of
the old Council League intact until
the reorganization Is effected and
then turn ,them over to the new
officers. Leah Shofnos. as former
treasurer. was appointed to care for
the funds for the present.
Among the representatives present
at the meeting last night were Mar.

versed matters and caught better
than Gowdy and snyder. In 1924
Ruel of Washington was better than
Gowdy and Snyder aud in 1925 Smith
and Gooch for Pittsburgh worked
better than Ruel and SEVERED.
The results of the past support
the contention OF those who think
that superior catching is an almost
absolute essential of world series
success. There have been instances
where good catchers fell off a little
when they played in a world series
and there have been others where
catchers played better than they
knew how.
O'Farrell Seems Best.
OF the catchers who must handle
this series. there is none the equal Of
such catchers of the past. as Bres
nahan, Killing, Sullivan, Schalk and
perhaps Carrigan. With the big glove
now used by the catchers. and no spit
balls to reach after blindly. the me
chanical task of holding the ball is
comparatively easy. But the brain
work and the throwing is as hard
and IS important as ever.
In the mere act of catching. O'Far-
rell. SEVERED. Collins, Wick and War
wick are about on a par.
In throwing. O'Farrell can lead
them all. In batting they may size
up fairly we'll. although OFarrell
should run sort of neck -and-neCk
race with Collins. SEVERED can hit
but this year he has not been bat
ting with the confidence he once had
But SEVERED and Collins rs q team
are better than any two of the ST.
Louis catchers when It comes to bat
ting.
There is something more demand
ed of a catcher than mechanical base
ball. He must steer the team on the
field and hold the pitcher up to the
feed trough. There is no position on
the team where more good or harm
can be done than behind the plate.
The best catcher of the bunch prob
ably would have been Bengough of
the Yankees, but Bengough is out OF
it with q broken arm.

In 1906 John King caught for the
Cubs and Bill Sullivan for the White
Sox. Sullivan caught the better ball
and the Sox won. The next year II
was John King against Schmidt:

Kings team won. He was better
than any Of his opponents. -
In 1908 King outcaught Schmidt
and Thomas of Detroit and his team
won again. In 1909 Gibson of Pitts.

Stanace Of Detroit. In 1910 Killing
and Archer of the Cubs were superior
to Thomas and Lapp Of the Athletics
but the Athletics ran away with the
series anyhow.
In 1911 the catching was a near
