his southpaws, who have stood
him in such good stead in the
race which is now drawing to
a close. He has hight-handers,
even other than Earnshaw, who
can go out there for one after
noon and just about work their
hearts out in behalf of the
cause, without having to worry
about being ready to pitch
again in ~ hours. The think
ing fans are expecting to see
Howard Ehmke and John Picus
Quinn, one of the thinning
ranks of spitballers, prove
poignant factors in the onrush-
ing classic, and that is not
admitting that Ed Rommel will
be slammed out of the lot either.
1t has been the history of
some of our very recent world
series that the more experienced
heads are quite valuable on the
mound. Walter johnson pulled
a world series out of the fire
in 1924, and Grover Cleveland
Alexander did the same thing
in 1926.
Meanwhile do not expect
either Grove or Walberg to wilt
at the very mention of the
word "Cubs." On such a the
DRY, then, you can throw out
the hokum with which popular
opinion has surrounded the
Athletics task in the world
series.
In a sentence, it seems appar-
ent that Philadelphia's pitchers
stand out in the series, just as
Chicago's offensive strength,
wrapped up in Hornsby, Wilson,
Cuyler and Stephenson, stands
out. One offsets the other and
may checkmate it. After that
the breaks of the game will do
much to decide the winner,
leaving the team that can make
its breaks with the advantage.
If Cvengros starts a game for
the Cubs, his .450 batting punch
can be added to the above men,
toned quartet in at least one
game-enough to swing the
series.
So, outside of the fact that
sometimes one group of players
functions better with big stakes
in the balance, the majority,
which we say we find to be
leaning toward the Cubs, has
little on which to base its
claims.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1929-09-19

In the language of the stock
market, in which so many of
the neighbors are dabbling these
days and times, we believe we
detect a distinctly bullish ten
dency in behalf of the Chicago
Cubs, which as recently as yes
terday sewed up the National
League championship.
The boys who speculate on
such matters as world series
play appear to be sold on the
theory that the Cubs, although
not necessarily a greater team
on paper than the Athletics, are
a greater money team. In that
the world series involves such
prodigious sums of currency,
the thought has struck the
speculative element that with
the odor OF an important pay
off in the nostrils, nothing can
stop the Cubs short of an earth
quake, or possibly train
wreck.
Before giving you this con-
sensus in behalf of William
Wrigley's boys, we have gone
to great pains to make inquiries
here and there among people
VIII" pretty we'll understand
baseball and its uncertainties,
and we beg leave to report that
while the sentiment is by no
means overwhelming in behalf
of the Windy City entry, it is
strong enough to be called a
bullish movement.
Therefore you may expect to
see them carrying a great deal
of favoritism when the barrier
springs on October 8.
Although much stress has
been laid, by those who are
prone to argue such things, on
the fact that left-handed pitch
ing is Chicago gravy, as the
series nears less and less of
that sort of thing is being
emphasized. This is probably
because second thought has re-
minded the debaters that while
such fragments of the dope are
very important in sizing up a
team for general purposes,
much of its voltage is short
circuited in these brief series
where said elements do not have
SO long a spell in which to
assert their influence.

MERCURY DROP
PROMISED CITY
Break in Torrid Wave Is
Weather Prediction.

An eight or ten-degree drop in
temperature Thursday, following
thundershowers this afternoon or
tonight, was the welcome prediction
of the weather bureau today.
AS relief was promised from the
heat wave in which Indianapolis,
with most of the country, has been
sweltering for days, the mercury
started on another altitude flight
to break the seasons record Of SO
degrees.
After one of the hottest nights
this season, the mercury jumped
from IS to 88 degrees between 6
a. m. and noon today.
Changes in today's temperature
are rather problematical," said j. H.
Arlington, weather bureau chief,
"but a drop of eight or ten degrees
Thursday would bring temperatures
to near normal. They have been
averaging eight or nine degrees
above normal for several days"
A trace of rain fell here Tues
day night.
