Statistics Favor Senators Over Giants
Babe Ruth to Go on Air Waves Tonight

THE American League has copied five out of the last six
world series and the claw of averages will be working
against the Washington Senators this year, but on baseball
form the lads of Joe Cronin are this columns choice over
the New York Giants. The National League team doubtless
is the peoples choice and is a club of great fighters led by
brilliant pitching with Carl Hubbell as the key hurler. On the
other hand, the Senators also have exhibited an immense
amount of courage at different times this season and their
pitching, while not so tight over the long pull as that of New
York, has been backed up by more artillery.
Hubbell may come through as the miracle man and carry
the Giants on top and his mates may bat better than their
averages promise. Statistics show, however, that the Sen
ators as a whole were better hitters and felders during the
regular campaign.

the New Orleans third sacker. who juggled and then recovered in time
to tag out the runner coming from second. but not before the runner

il team this question: IF the end is smuggling and using rough tactics,
would it be advisable to take a sock at him and get a penalty just to
teach him a lesson. or wait until the officials catch him?" According to
one player, the answer would depend on the size of the offending end.
