In an effort to prevent any of the regular team from being injured in the Weaver High-New Britain High school football game in Hartford Saturday. Coach Cassidy has decid- ed that he will star his second team at the beginning of the second half. This will be done if the opposition furnished by Weaver Is weak.

she downed Kaye Johnson, Central

Kaye had the dopesters guessing
when she led Dorothy 81 in the
first set. She swept away her op.

and well-placed shots. Dorothy
raked in the set by collecting the
next five games. Kaye failed to
come through at critical points in
the set and could not stop Dorothy.
The second set was much closer
than the score indicates. The long
rallies served to make the second
bracket most interesting.

They follow it as though they were
In IL themselves. That is the
first thing they seek at night. They
all want to know how the Cards
and Pirates came out. Mos: of
the Griffmen like Pittsburgn's
chances to repeat, although they
would rather Rogers Hornsby achieve
the distinction Of giving st. Louis
its first National League penrant.
If Pittsburgh repeats, they expect
the Yankees to be beaten In the
world series, providing the Yankees
are champions themselves. They
doubt the Cardinals pitchers can
stop the Yankee sluggers, espec-
tally in the band box park a. St.
Louis. The Griffs, almost to a
man. are pulling for the Cleveland
Indians to nose out the Yankees.
This doesn't. mean they won do
their utmost to defeat the Indians,
a week from now. but they all like
Iris Speaker and his players per.
sonalIy and their hearts are with
the Indians. If Cleveland does
happen to win. they will back the
Indians against any National League
club winning it's own title.
Stanley Coveleskie announced
today that he was ready to re

In It's mad desire to see the
st. Louis Cardinals cop that
National League pennant, the
Mound City is not unlike, IN its
deportment, the Capital City
two years ago when here in
Washington we were on the
verge Of nervous prostration as
the Griffmen sped up to the
wire to win the American
League pennant on the day be-
fore the regular championship
season closed.
st. Louis occupies an unen-
viabIe position in baseball lore
that Of never having won a
pennant in either league. Old
indeed is the Missouri baseball
fan who can recall when Charles
Comiskey led the Browns to
four consecutive flags in the
old American Association.
That is the nearest the bugs
on the banks Of the Mississippi
have ever come to having their
baseball ambitions gratified and
as that happened in the years
1858 it holds little consolation
for the present crop of enthu-
siasts.
This National League race
is one Of the closest that modern
baseball records hold. Any one
of four teams might step In
there and spill the beans for
three Of their number.
This same city of st. Louis,
on the American League side,
contributed many heart palpita-
tons four years ago when they
were nosed out by the Yankees,
but that race cannot be COM
pared to the present skirmish
in the National League, because
it concerned only the Yanks and
the Browns whereas the Pirates,
Cards, Reds and Cubs are all
conceded to have a chance this
fall.
Many American League fans
may we'll recall the slack days
of the 1922 race when St. Louis
was literally baseball wild.
Thousands poured into the
town from Missouri, Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Iowa and even Texas
and paid fabulous prices to spec
ulators for tickets. Every game
was a sell-out.
st. Louis was trembling with
hope that it would finally see
a world series and with fear
that it wouldn't.
In the ninth inning of the last
game the Yanks rallied, scored
two runs, gained the victory and
virtually decided the race. AS
Whitley Witt singled over Sec
ond, driving in the two runs
with two out, a silence fell over
the park. It was a thick, un-
canny silence, heavy with
tragedy. The hope OF seeing a
world series in st. Louis had
faded.
And now st. Louis must again
live through those same stirring
days which brought disappoint-
meat four years ago. Wherever
baseball is discussed one hears
true sportsmen declare in be-
half of the Cardinals-not be-
cause of any lack of admiration
for the Pirates, Reds or Cubs,
but because St. Louis has never
been in a world series as we
