"A queer bird, young Quantrell.
Eth, what, Garrett?" the English
man said to his partner one day as
he sat in the pleasant sunshine in
front of the cabin.
His eyes were on the young des-
perado, who was sitting in front of
the bunk house whiting out of
wood a horse for little Bennie
Ford. Bennie was the five-year-old
son Of Mary Joe Ford, a young
widow who had come to do the
cooking at the ranch. He was
favorite of Bob Quantrells and or

The Circle o ranch, as the
Cress place was now called, had
become a hive of industry. Cattle
in large punches had been shifted
to the contiguous range and had to
be worked. AT all hours of the day
and night cowboys drifted to and
from the ranch. Just now half a
dozen carpenters, imported from
Aurora, were camped in the pas
ture. They had been engaged to
build a new house.
The Lodge, as Smith-Beresford
called it, was to be a cOmmOdious
structure, rustic in type. The hewn-
log walls were already up and the
roof on. One of the chief features
was to be a large open hall with
an immense stone fireplace at one
end. This hall extended to the
roof, but a stairway wound to a sec.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, September 3d.
Presenting their full-strength line-ups,
st. Paul of the American Association
and Rochester Of the International
League were ready today for the open
ing clash of q series to determine the
base ball champion Of the minor leagues.
Managers Billy Southworth of the
Rochester club and Lefty Leifield Of the
Saints placed their confidence in vet
eran right-handers to pluck the first
contest of the little world series out
of the fire.
Carmen Hill, bespectacled twirler, was
the choice of Manager Southworth,
while the Saints depended on Walter
"Huck" Belts.
Hill, who once saw service with the
st. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh of
the National League, Is not unknown to
American Association fans, having
hurled for both indianapolis and Min
neapolis at various times during his
career.
Although the Saints present the hard

In 1880. He has a seasoned twirler
this time in Waite Hoyt. as well as
the rejuvenated RUDE Walberg, for
emergency work. He has a strong
young right-hander in Roy Mehaffey.
Street, II he cannot use Hairles and
does not rely again on the aging
Grimes, will be forced to rotate Der

Rhem or Sylvester johnson. But Gabby
knows his pitchers. He has shown
rare Judgment In handling them and
will concede nothing to Mack when
it comes to getting the maximum in

= T. LOUIS, September S0:-It Is q
base bail axiom that no strategy
- Is quite 50 effective as q wallop

demonstrated this well known fact in
the celebrated victory OF brute force"
over the master mind" of John Nc
Graw number Of years ago.
The theory and practice Of the home
run in still good strategy. 1t Is relied
upon by the world champion Athletics
just as much as they depend upon the
sagacity Of their 68-year-old pilot, Con-
ME Mack, and his able ~lieutenants, Ed
die Collins and William (Kid) Gleason,
in the struggle that starts tomorrow
with the st. Louis Cardinals.
The best strategy we can employ"
Gabby Street SAYS, sis TO go out there
and fight the AS of their feet from
the drop Of the hat. 1 don't know
whether we can outsmart EN-, but 1
feel confident we can outplay 'em this

champions is one of their strong points,

As Got Flying Start.
In the 1880 battle of wits and base
hits the Athletics had much the better
OF it. They upset the Cards and Bur-
leigh Grimes In the very first game
when Joe Boley pulled the squeeze
play" with the speedy Haas on third
base. They accomplished Burleighs
second downfall with a potent wallop
from Jimmy Foxx's bat into the
bleachers.
No manager in base ball has a
smarter pair of advisers than Collins
and Gleason. They have been through
the wars. They are quick thinkers in
an emergency where one seemingly in
significant move may determine the
whole tide of battle. Nothing on the
field escapes them, even If it slips the
notice Of Mack himself They outnum-
Der, at least, the Cardinal combination
Of Street and Frisch. whether or not
they cast a deciding influence.
Pitching strategy was at least 80 per

Cardinal mainstay, is out Of the picture

jority Of the experts are
picking st. Louis over
Philadelphia in the world series
getting under way tomorrow
well might influence him to
believe the Mackmen will cop.
The experts so often are wrong.
But aside from that there are
several good reasons why this
column is convinced the Ath-
letics not only will retain their
championship laurels, but do 1t
in Jig time. And we can think
Of only one to justify the bunch
Streets men will win-the law
Of averages.
National League victories in
the annual so-called classic
have been so few and far be-
tween in recent years the pen
dulum is due to swing back, but
how it logically can be figured
the end of the lane should be
reached this Fall is not clear.
The Principal Reasons.
Grove, Earnshaw and Sim
mons are the principal reasons
for our conviction the Mack
men again will prevail, just as
they did last October, and there
are others, including Cochrane
and Foxx, to mention an addi-
tional pair of individuals, and
still all the reasons have not
been enumerated.
There Is, for instance, the
ability conclusively demon
strated by the Athletics in the
course Of compiling a near
record number of victories dur
ing the recently ended cam
paign to win consistently re-
CARELESS of how many of their
regulars are out Of action; their
penchant for coming through
when the stakes are highest,
and their far greater prowesS,
compared with the Cardinals,
in the all-important business of
making their hits travel for ex-
ira distance.
The fact no team ever has
won three world championships
in a row is a silly contention
In debating against the chances
Of the AS Until 1924 no club
ever attained four consecutive
major league titles, a fact wide
ly cited at the time, but that
didn't prevent the Giants
achieving the feat.
Outclassed on Mound.
Getting back to Grove and
Earnshaw, the Cardinals have
no pitchers In their class, and
in view of the dates selected
for the games it easily would
be possible for them to bag the
necessary four wins with no
assistance from their mound
mates, although the hard-to-
figure Cornelius McGillicuddy
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-09-30

may elect to lead with neither
of his aces and assign starting
roles somewhere along the
line to such less brilliant, but
thoroughly competent fingers
as Hoyt, Mahaffey or Walberg.
Why the representatives OF
the National League ever agreed
to a schedule providing for two
of days after the initial pair
of battles, making 1t possible
for Philadelphia'S first brace of
starting hurlerS to come back
for the third and fourth games
strong from adequate rest, al
ways will be something Of a
mystery to us.
Big Edge in Attack.
Simmons, like Grove and
EarnshaW, is third Mackman
whose equal cannot be found
in the ranks Of the Cardinals.
He not only Is a match on de-
Tense Tor any outfielder the
Cards can present, but is far
and away a more effective
long distance Slugger, who al
ready has proved his attacking
proweSS Is not confined to win
ming swat laurels during the
regular campaign.
Cochrane mas it all over Will
son back Of the bat, especially
as an offensive factor, and at
first base, while Bottomley has
an average for the season of
.345 against a mere POI for
FoXx, and is a niftier fielder,
the answer to their relative
value can be found in the col
umns detailing doubles, triples,
home runs and runs batted in.
The figures for Foxx read: 81,
10, 80 and 1872, while those for
Bottomley are 80, 6, 8 and So.
At second, third, short, center
and right field, the Cardinals
may be regarded as equal or
even superior to the Athletics,
but the advantage possessed by
the latter in every other respect
is so much greater the clubs
actually do not appear well
matched.
Gabby Street has earned
belated recognition as a fine
manager, and in the Capital
there are a host well-wiShers
who will be pulling for the old
Washington backStop and bat
terry mate of Walter Johnson to
win, even at the expense Of so
revered a figure as Connie
Mack. 1t would even prove a
good thing for the game If the
Cardinals were to triumph, but
as the situation looks to us we
will be genuinely surprised If
they do.

This fighting grid eleven from

Free State) has been accused Of
about everything but putting salt
in the baby's bottle.
And it is nothing to be alarmed
about, either. There was never a
champion at anything who did
not have to fight harder to save
his reputation than his crown.
From dark corners and In side
alleys critics of this eleven said
many things which must have
stung the Westminster athletic
body. 1t has been written about
and gossiped about until the CAB
acted as a boomerang to the
critics. It gave the Green Terror
a reputation as a fighting outfit
of powerful men.
In New England and in Pennsylvania
and New York the casual foot BAN OBJ
server thinks of the Green Terror along
with the other nOtables. The team has
been talked about so much, and in its
long string Of victories has so impressed,
that the M0untaineers are accepted as
superplayers.
Few remember to look up its record
to ind that its victories were over but
said without any attempt to reflect upon
the courage of its opponents.
But for the Western Maryland eleven
to be as smart as some grid onlookers
think it to be, the team would have to
start by blanking Army, taking Notre
Dame over in its stride and then beat
Princeton, Yale, Minnesota and South
ern California in warm-up battles.
Yet it has been proven over the
last three years that Western Mary
land Is the best eleven in this pre-
cinct. Whether 1t can maintain
this prestige in 1881 Is a problem.
There are more than a few who will
say that the crew cannot keep its
banner floating.
However, all of this balIyho0 about
substituting players, ignoring eligibility
rules and patter of similar nature, all
Of which no one can tack down as
coming from any one IN particular, Is
hiding, to my mind, the real reason why
the Green TerrOrs are able TO roll of
