But Mack kept the AS hustling

plenty to spare in spite of a

. TWO TITLE
WINNERS
By BABE RUTH

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-1n four
more days another baseball sea-
son Will be over, and I guess it
is true that as we grow older the
seasons, seem to pass more
quickly. It seems no more than
Two or three months ago that I
went into the club house at the
Yankees training camp in st.
petersburg and put on a uniform
TO engage in my first day of
practice. But here we are down
TO the final series of the year.
1t has been a remarkable sea-
son in many ways. But the one
feature which stands uppermoSt,
as I see it, is the way the fans
nave stuck to baseball in spite of
the depression. I think this was
due to the farsightednesS of the
club owners some years ago when
all prices were on the upward
trend. They refused to raise the
prices of admission, or for re-
served seats, giving the fan the
same amount of baseball for a
dollar that he got in years when
prices were normal. Other amuse-
ments and entertainment cost

They are considered the best
Junior colored nine in the city.
The champs have defeated several
senior teams in outside competi-
ton this year. Next year they ex-
pect to enter the senior division.
Smack" Lucas "a baseball
name and how that baby can play
the game) is the ace hurler Of the
team, winning 16 encounters with
out a loss.
Lucas relies on speed and an
out-drop, which his manager, Dan
She'll, believes the best on the
sandlots. SHACK" is a real hit
ter, too, as he is noted for win
ming many ball games with timely
hits.
The team defeated National
Training School twice and Clifton
A. c. and Spartons, of the senior
rank.
Some of their outstanding
players are: Tim Irving, Way
man Brown, Jirnmey Walker, Ed
die Dickson and Rinnie Logan.

numerous. It was a well deserved
victory and my hat is off to Con-
ME.
I figured that this would be
Brooklyn's year IN the National
League as q result of the clubs
showing last season and the deal
in the winter which added O'Doul
and Thompson. But Gabby Street
proved conclusively that he had
a great ball club. Street kept the
Cards hustling all season and di-
rected them as only a high grade
manager could.
Brandt Improved Player
His victory was well deserved,
but was made easier, believe,
by the injuries to Lindstrom and
Critz of the Giants. I think it
would have been a great battle
to the wire if these two Giant
stars had not bee nput out Of
play for so long. But injuries are
all a part of baseball.
Lefty Groves pi ching, of
course, was one of the outstanding
features Of the season, since it
is unusual in these days for any
pitcher to ring up 80 or more
victories. The best young pitchers
of the year have been Vernon
Gomez in the American League
and Paul Derringer in the Ma
tional. These two started the sea-
son with no more rating than is
accorded second string pitchers of
any staff, and each won a place
among the topnotch boxmen of
his league.

The tee-up position of the ball

average weights of lamb crops raised
by individual ewes per year. Light
weight ewes produced lamb crops
weighing only So pounds. Heavy ewes
boosted the weight of their lamb crop
her head per year to 131 pounds. These
figures were obtained by taking aver
ages of five crops Of lambs raised by
each eve.
The same trend was noticed in the

of fleeces from lightweight ewes was
six pounds. Heavy ewes produced
fleeces averaging nearly u pounds.
These averages were obtained from six
