Both clubs are OF the smuggling
type, with a lineup Of men capable
of driving the ball out Of the park
any time they come to bat. Both
clubs have serious pitching prob
lem. BY that mean that their
pitching may be very. very good,
or very, very bad. Men like Alex
ander, Sherdel and Rhem Of the
Cardinals and Pennock, Shocker
and Ruether Of the Yankees are
capable of pitching almost perfect
ball IL they happen to be right.
On the other hand, they may be
start.
terrible il they get away to bad
Being hitters of the free-swing-
ing type, both clubs are weak
both extensively and defensively
on the sacrifice and bunt plays:
They can't be counted upon to pull
the play successfully themselves,
and they have a lot of difficulty
stopping IL when the other fel.
lows attempt it.
The Yankees have the disad'
vantage of starting the series with
several first-year players in the
lineup.
Koenig, Lazzeri and Gehrig-all
Of them are really in their first
year as regulars, and the strain
of a world series is terrific for any
youngster.
On the other hand IL we are
handicapped by youth, we like
wise have an advantage in exper-
fence. Alexander, think, is the
only member of the Cardinals who
has ever been through a world
series. And being pitcher, Alex
will be in there only occasionally.
Ruth, Meusel, Dugan, Pennock,
Jones, Shawkey, Hoyt, Ruether and
Ward all have had world series
experience, and 2 lot of it. They
know what to ekpeet. And that's
in our favor. Some folks are in
clined to scott at this matter OF
experience. But fans who remem-
Der the veteran McInnis replaced
Grantham, the youngstery will ap-
preciate just what experience means.
McInnis didn't play any better
ball-not as good perhaps. But he
settled down the whole club. He
got them to working together. He
gave them confidence and made
them forget their nervousness.
About youngsters. The chief
trouble with young players Is that
they are indispensable. They may
play bang-up ball, but just the
same the other men on the team
lack confidence in them.
They may come up with great
plays on four or five hard chances,
but always in the minds of the
veterans there's the thought that
here are kids who may boot" the
next one at a critical moment.
And confidence, 1 believe, is the
greatest attribute of any world
series club. Our youngsters, going
into their first world series, cannot
have the same confidence as the
fellows who have been through the
mill. It's a new eXperience-and
no man feels entirely at home when
he is facing a new proposition. On
the other hand, our veterans look
upon the series as just a few more
ball games. And there isn't a man
on the whole Cardinal club, unless
1t be Hornsby himself, who can
take that attitude.
So perhaps the one offsets the
other. At any rate the clubs are
much the same type as see 1t,
playing the same sort of baseball,
resorting to much the same strategy.
and having much the same weak
nesses.

Manager Gibson argues that the

ton is that Gene defeated a great
fighter who could not get started
because Tunney would not let him
start.
Mr.. Gibson thinks the experts

man who had long worn halo. He
insisted that the new. champion is

Dempsey ever was. 1t Is a man

THE BADGE OF HONOR.

There come times in the history Of the
American Red Cross when everything
is out go-that is, lavish expenditure of
funds is made for the relief of distress
of many kinds such as hunger, loss Of
homes, replacement of clothing and
household effects and working imple-
ments lost through fire, flood, hurricane
and the like.
Naturally such lavish expenditures
could not he continued indefinitely I'M
less there were periods of replacement
of funds; times when the Red Cross
treasury is reilled after being emptied
for the relief of the distressed, in order
that it may meet the next demand-a
demand that may come without a mo-
ment's warning in any of the American
possessions or in any part OF the world,
for the heart of the Red Cross is as
big as the world and its helping hand
stretches far and |WithhOlds not.
One of these times of replenishing the
Red Cross treasury is with US OF st.
Croix right now. The 1926 Roll is now
being called and it behooves every one OF
us to do our little part, to say to the
Red Cross I'VE are here again to do our
hit in order that you may do your great
work of relief when the next great emer-
gencv arises. For it stands to reason
that preparedness is the keynote Of Red
Cross activity. 1t cannot wait to gather
no resources after the emergency has
arisen. 1t must be ready beforehand to
spend with generous hand the resources
already in the treasury.
So, now, let US respond quickly to TIL
present call of the Roll and let US vita
hold not our little mite or our more libel-
al contribution, both of which are so nd-
cessary to the continued work of tie
greet mother of the World.
