Cabler IS wheeling around from 2

THE WORLD SERIES opens TO-
day az Philadelphia with the gen

The Cardinals beat out three sres
clubs this year 70 cop the National
league banner. The Senator'S were
the only club that bothered the AIN
letics all year. The Cardinals arr
accustomed to high pressure ana
n IS not likely that they will crack

ALL OF TEXAS IS hoping ina
Wild Bill Hallahan viii hook up with

the series. Wild Bill made q great

"a the majors. Few will ara the
point. Eallahan has everything In
the way Of speed and curves. His

wild. That. in itself. Is frequently
an asset. They won't crowd the
plate when Wild Bill Is wheeling
is fast one in there.
If HALLAHAN AND Grove were
10 tie up, 1t would probably be thf
greatest lefthanded duel since Ar
Nehg and Herb Pennock matched
slants III 1923. Great shades OF
RUDE Waddel. Speaking Of eccent-
rio lefthanders, Walter Johnson
saws Waddel was the greatest pitch
CT he ever saw in action.
