The fact Is only one out OF 81
base ball tOrtters polled last
Spring ,Dds rash enough to predict
the Giants tDould pin the
penndnt
Not only did Charles (Mike) Houston,
then on the staff Of the New York
Evening Post, name the Giants to cop
the National League Pennant, but he
selected the Washington Senators to
displace the Yankees. The young man
thus awarded a double crown for his
psychic powers now is the sports editor
of the Richmond (Va) Times Dispatch.
Only five others participating In the
Associated Press annual poll picked the
Giants to finish as high as third Three
were Philadelphia writer's, Bill Brandt,
Herb Jaspan and Ross Kaufman. The
others were Charles e. Parker Of the
New York World Telegram and Will
Wedge Of the New York Sun.
For that matter, only one
expert, John B. Keller Of The
Star, selected the Senators to
beat out the Yankees
The consensus was that the Giants
would wind up sixth, with the Pirates
as pennant winners, and that the
Senators would finish second.
"Beat Griffs?" Why Not?
THE consensus now appears to be
that even Il they did upset all
this National League dope. the
Giants can't beat the Senators, but
their answer today was: why not?"
The Boston Braves Of 1914 were much
the same kind Of an inspired club and
every one recalls what they did to the
mighty Athletics
The Giants look forward to the world
series with the same confidence they
faced every crucial test of their leader
ship within the last month. In turn
they knocked of the Braves, the Pirates
and the Cubs, when many experts still
were predicting or secretly expecting
them to crack.
Remarkable pitching carried
the Giants through to the pen-
nant and pitching has nearly

receive the belated roar of the
Metropolitan crowd, still some

They were frankly derisive In
the Spring when the Giants got
away galloping. They still were
skeptical in Midsummer when 1t
became apparent the team was
in the thick of the fight to stay.

them forget the harsh things they said

In the far corners Of the National

now welcomes her once more on F

"She Done Him Wrong" opens for

at the Metropolitan Theater. The per-

An analysis Of Mae West In this
play is, in fact, a study Of the human
race Does the visitor desire an exhi-
bition of highly polished brass, without
q flaw In the metal? It is Mae West.
Does one admire complacent and per-
feet action among the offscourings Of
crime and degradation? It is here
shown Is there nothing In an imper-
feet world that can startle or impress

Miss West Is the answer. Is 1t possible
to be immaculate in the midst Of the

seems to be achieved In "She Done Him
Wrong" Is there q place where the
good, the bad and the useless may
unite In . common devotion? It is
to be found In the wake Of this blonde
jazz singer.
Tho secret seems to be In the fact
that while all sorts Of men and women
fall far short Of presenting q united
front OF effective qualities, It is at last
achieved by Miss West. She can be
steeled with uncomfortable force
against any and all emotional weak
ness and yet give evidence in her good
deeds Of q fine type Of sympathetic
instinct. She can present the superb
cial hardness Of the unqualified product
of q material world and endanger her
