n 5r, far away one may look
4 40 the coming world series
Re or less disinterested man.
44 Hometimes ones vision may
cured by being too close to
ene of things.
BIT now everyone seems to
M 5s bring the pitchers for the
game. After all is said and
N&t is the men in the box who
most to do with winning or
# games.
Nobody knows who is going to
th. 1t is doubtful if either
IS nager has fully decided. Most
nion seems to be that Hug
n rs will start Pennock, the
hssy left-hander. The dOpesters
lem divided on Hornsby's Sc
ctiOn. Some say Alexander and
hers believe it will be Sherdel.
Everybody has ideas about who
ould pitch the opener. If we
7 d thing to do with it Shocker
Fould go for New York and Sher-
Vel for st. Louis. They look like
he most effective ones in the COM
ng series.
Sherdel, with his left-hand shoots
and change of pace, has a better
~ chance of battling the Yanks than
other Card moundsmen, it seems
Ito us. Sluggers hate a slow ball
Ike poison.
~ ShOcker, Highlander, prob
/ ably is the best bet of the
Yankees, against st. Louis. Pen.
mock is rather frail and needs
plenty of rest. For that reason
he may be used i'm the Saturday
contest. We believe he will be
defeated il opposed by Sherdel.
Manager Hornsby has plenty Of
Faith in the veteran Alexander,
lLnd may use him. If he does, the
Yanks are likely to hop on him.
The pitchers the rival leaders start
they consider their aces. The hurl-
er who pitches first is counted
upon to win couple of games.
1t seems to us that Shocker and
OuSIQcl bIOluu wal III up lOl bhS
first big battle. We do not say
they will start They are the ones
we think SHOULD start. Pennock
and Alexander are just as likely
to open the fireworks.
There may not be great deal
to choose from between PennOck
and ShOcker, but Rogers had
better use Sherdel if he wants
the Jump at New York next Sat
urday.
This ought to start several ar
guments. And what is baseball
without the various heated discus
sions INDUCED in by the fans.
Somebody has to pitch the first
game. Who williit be?
IS
This is the time of year when
all the National league man.
ayers predict that the Cards will
win the world series and all the
American league leaders Opine
that the Yanks can't be beaten.
= Wonder ,whas some of them real
~ IL think?
We notice in newspaper
headline that Mud and Rain Fail
To Dampen Tigers" 1t looks as
though the old saying-This is
rood weather for ducks-ought to
@ changed. Hence forth it should
ho-This is good weather for
igers.
II this football season is as
wet as that of 1925. Coach
sZnppke of Illinois ought to let
tackle who has just reported
pilot the good ship Illini through
the heavy seas of mud. Ted Mar
riner should make fine skipper.
1t is said he is no relation to the
ancient mariner.
