show the Cubs made 1926 assists
while the AS made only 1873.
So it is evident that II the result OF
the coming series Is to be foretold &C
cording to season performances. the
Cubs will win. They lead in attack and
they lead in defense. My opinion, as
stated in Q previous article, Is that the
pitching Is just about even.
Short Series Uncertain.
But. as we all know. base bali brings
out the unexpected. One never can tell
what may happen. And this is espe-
cially true in q short series that Is ali
over when one team has won four
games. Just lucky break or two may
enable . tail-end team to take four
games in Q row from league leader.
Such things happen often. Well, the
Mackmen are no tail-enders. The fig
ures give us a slight advantage in at
tack and defense. But that is over a
long period and not for four or ave
or even seven games.
Still, seeing We have slight adyan-
tage in power and defense, one feels
safe in guessing We will get at least an
even break in the luck of the game,
and IL so We ought to win the series.
Therefore my prediction is that the
Cubs will win the world championship,
but I expect a hard and rather eX-
tended battle. I think the series will
60 six games before We are able 70
get the fourth and necessary victory.

Next, the figures show that up to
that date the Cubs had scored esq runs,
while the Athletics had counted only
ss2. That's quite o margin Of diff

made 1873 hits against 1,4se for Phila-
delphia. The Cubs hit 13s home runs.
while the AS hit lit. The Cubs stole
100 bases and the Mackmen stole SO.
In every factor Of attack the Cubs led
their coming opponents, over that long
stretch of battling from the middle OF
April until late in September. 30 that
leads to one conclusion-the Cubs have
a more powerful offense.
In the fielding figures both teams had
the same-a team fielding percentage
of .975. The Cubs led the National
League in that respect, and the AS
were at the top in the American. But
in one fielding feature, and an impor-

I think the world knows that we
had Mr.. Mack in mind all along
the route we travelled to the league
pennant. We knew he Wantedsto
win another championship more
than he wanted any other thing
on this earth.
Had YOU gone to Manager Mack with
one million dollars in cash in August,
when we were in our only real slump
of the year, and told him he could take
that if he would go to Europe and let
his ball club sink, know, and SO DO
YOU, that he would have turned 1t down.
Mack Shoots at Record
What I'm driving at is that the league
pennant the AS won this year is worth
more to our boss than a million dollars
in hand would be.
Now that Mack has captured the
American League flag he is eager to cap
it with another world championship
The Athletics will 90 after the Cubs de
termined to give Mack a double
triumph. / will add here that the
league pennant is the seventh for Mack,
and if he wins the worlds title that
will be his fourth victory in the classic,
which will put him out in front OF the
field in his league.
Connie Mack is the smarteSt manager
in base ball, and has way of handling
players that is unusual. No man living
can do more from the bench to make
a ball club win than the boss of the AS.
Joe Mccarthy, who bosses the Cubs,
must be an able general. His record
speaks for itself. He came up from a
minor league with nos previous big
league experience as manager to take
the Chicago club and make 1T pen

years he took the Bruins. over the top.
am only player, and will not be
so bold as to compare Mack and Nc
Carthy. But 1 can and do say that
my vote is cast for Connie Mack over
any other manager in base ball.
A manager, however, can't swing a
bat or wear glove. He is forced to
sit on the bench and suffer when his
players make mistakes. So while the
tactics as laid down by Mack and Nc
Carthy when the AS tangle with the
Cubs will be important, there will come
times when base hit or a catch will
be of vital importance. These physical
acts are up to the boys on the diamond
Figures Favor Cubs
Getting down to statistics, the Cubs
have it on the Athletics in batting and
base stealing. They have hit more
home runs. They have scored more
runs.
They have a better fielding record on
the whole. They have turned in more
assists and more double plays. We have
