Two Swell Pitchers

We pick for our two pitchers
Grove and Marberry. Earn
shaw might be picked instead
of Marberry by the eStlmable
Ruth, but we don't like the
idea of having both pitchers
from the same team. 1t is un-
balanced enough to place two
pitchers from the same league,
and even Mr.. Ruth may not do
that.
There seems little question
that Cochrane is the outstand-
ing catcher this year as last,
yet with a Simmons and a
Grove and a EarnshaW or his
team, our own Roy Spencer
might shape up to Mickey.
The other three Washington
ians on our beau ideal team
are Cronin, Bluege and West.
We like 'em for their regular
berths, and intend to stick to
them even If we are stuck with
'em.
We believe that taken by and
for all the way around there
isn't a better second kaseman
for the team than frankie
F'riSch, the Fordham Flash.
Gehrig can have our first
base choice-who deserves it
more?
Simmons is unmatcaable in
left and Klein suits us in right.
How they should bat is the
only thing we Shan't expose
now of our Babe Ruth team,
