The American League ball has

Hafey, their two heaviest hitters through
the season, can only wipe the dust from
their batting eyes and adjust their focus
again. 1t has been tough on a club
to have its two cleanup men in a bat

tween them to show for 18 innings.
They are overdue and If they climb back
on the same seat with Pepper Martin,
the Mackmen will have plenty OF
trouble.
So far the defensive play of the two
teams has been extremely high grade.
The sole error was credited to Wilson
TOR forgetting to tag batsman who
had struck cut, or at least had struck
at the ball three times. Only the smart

Moore to first after Wilson had thrown

The best indications now are that the
series will be much harder fought than
any poSt-Season war has known since
1926. when the Yankees and Cardinals

You know how it goes. It's an
old formula. When the old team
has been beaten from goal post to
the English prof's backyard, and
back again, courage and fight
saves the day.
A fighter cannot be whipped
whipped or whammed. At least,
he should not be, or the inspira-
tional philosophers have been CIV
ing us wrong information, like a
New York traffic cop.
Yet a pugnacious plugger does
get slammed about and plenty at
times. What I mean is that Lynn
Woodworth's Business High foot
ball team, slated as one Of the
fightingest fighters III the public
high grid loop, loses plenty.
This should not be q foot ball yarn
to inspire hope and to extol faith in
the heaving youthful breast. Nossir,
rather, it would be a very, very mourn
full elegy should I take the experts
word that Business High has not one
leg to stand upon in the public high
foot ball race this year.
But I never believe q fighter can be
dashed until II is done. And so far
WoOdwOrth's Business Highs battling Is
yet to take place.
There have been many things with
which Business Highs gridders have
had to contend. There have been
times when Woodwork wanted
practice field for his boys he had
to fish in his vest pockets, look under
the old sofa or place them upon a
postage stamp and tell them to 60
to 1t.
That was not only embarrassing, but
had the tendency to prevent influx OF
foot ball material It was rather diff
cult to pacify a group Of young men
when their exercises have to take place
around one another's hat rims, their
kicking and passing drills IN tele-
phone booth.
Only the graciousness Of Hap Hardell
at Tech saved WoodwOrth'S boys from
practicing on the White House lawn
this season.. Hap remembered the day
when he had to- push an old car away
from fire plug to give his boys play
room.
In the past, Business success upon
the green griddle has been nothing
about which to write home. 1t has had
scant material. It has had light play
ers. So It rarely made the grade.
But it had fight. And upon this
alone it carried on.
Yet you would not expect q team to
have little of that when its coach is q
fighter from Scraptcwn. YeSsir, from
ali I hear, he's the Dynamic Doogan of
foot ball. And they tell me he Is q
popular and inspiring leader, too.
He has been q newspaper man,
which we must overlook, and a
lightweight boxing champion OF the
Atlantic Fleet which is something.
They say that he is meek and mild
until his shins are kicked and then
pops up tossing minnies and 75s
with both hands.
These accomplishments, it Is said,
ne has passed on to his players. 1t
would not surprise his rivals to see
Business come tearing onto the f1eld

be packed into Shibe Park as the
Athletics and Cardinals, even UP
after two days of tussling and two
more days of travel and rest, meet

In the first place, they were grateful
to think the President would share

In the second place, Mr.. Hoover,
