One thing you must remember
follow the rules. After putting in
good heavy licks at selecting a

have your selection disqualified be-
cause of some little transgression
Of the rules.
Another thing to have in mind
we can all select the team We think

unanimous in our selections and
still we have to all pass in review
before that old master. the Babe

of the we'll known Fred, is playing
some great semi pro ball in that

While Fred is a pitcher and a

catcher, shortstOp, pitcher and out
fielder.

described as exceptionally fast, a

Following today's closing attrac-

Cleveland for a four-gaIne sel\s
with the Indians after which they
will close their final 1929 western
invasion with a series Of similar
length in Detroit.
This promises to be the most sue
cessful road hop of the year for the
Griffmen. Since leaving the home
lot August 5, they have won OF

AS a matter of fact yesterdays

he declared, ''but there's always
some one thing that player can
do better than anything else.

receiver and has great arm. His
arm, in fact, is about his biggest
