Professor Finkelstein's Method.

~HERE are several methods now in
use. One of them, the geomet-
rical or pyramid method, was
suggested to science by the work OF
the Polish calculator and lightning
mental contortionist, Prof. Salo Finkel-
stein. Prof. Finkelstein knows nothing
about base ball ("Your game of base
ball is a meestery to me-" he said in
1931.), but his auto-constructive sys-
tenn of adding one and one was direct
ly responsible for the pyramid method
of predicting ball games.
First you take the predictions Of the
! rival managers. Suppose Frank Frisch
says:
THE Cardinals can't lose. We're In
the middle of hot streak and Detroit
hasn't got the hitting or the pitching
to stop us"
To this you add Mickey Cochrane's
statement on the series:
The Cardinals aren't so good.
Well see what they can do with Rowe,
Bridges and Crowder."
Under the terms Of the pyra-
mid system, you throw out MIR.
Frisch's remarks on the ground
that they are prejudiced and re-
tain Mr.. Cochrane's on the
ground he can't always be
wrong. This gives you q strong
clue that Detroit will win the
series.
To this conclusion you apply the
digits of the mathematical symbol "pi''
(3.l416), which seem to indicate that
Detroit will win the first, third, fourth
and sixth games. The decimal point
means pause, or postponement. The
postponement will come on Saturday,
because Saturday is a half-holiday.
It's more likely to be rain than snow
at this time of year and the rain will
come from the southwest because S. w.
are the initials of Sam West, outfelder
for the st. Louis Browns.

MATS DRAW BLANK
IN ANNUAL DRAFT
Eight Minor Leaguers Come
Up-Griff Is Believed
Talking to Hornsby.

By the Associated Press.
~ ETROIT, October 3.-Major
League base ball teams had
J fair start today on the job
of building up their clubs
for next years pennant race, with
eight minor leaguers taken in the
first draft activity.
Here in the temporary capital Of
base ball, the Cincinnati Reds, with
first choice among the National League
clubs, took Leroy Hermann, the pitch
ing star of the San Francisco Seals.
Hermann won 26 games and dropped
IL this year.
The st. Louis Browns took Fay
Thomas of Los Angeles, whose record
for the year shows 26 victories and
defeats.
The Reds also drafted Henry Erick-
son of Louisville, who raped the ball
for .264 average in the minors after
brief trial with the Athletics in the
Spring. The Chicago Cubs picked OF
two players from the International
League, taking Ed Cihoki, who hit
1852 while playing the infield with
Syracuse, and Fabian Kowalik, who
won 18 and lost IA pitching for Buff.

in the majors.
AS Get Lieber.
The Athletics claimed Charley
Lieber from the San Francisco Mis-
sions, where as a pitcher, he won ~16
games and dropped 13 during the
season.
The Boston Braves annexed Catcher
w. H. Lewis, who batted .313 with
Rochester in the International League,
and the White Sox picked of Bob
Fenner, st. Paul receiver, who hit
for .295 percentage.
Vernon George Washington, who
batted 1867 for indianapolis, was
called in the draft by the White Sox,
but since there is some question about
his eligibility under the draft, his
case will be decided by Commissioner
K. M. Lands. The Sox brought him
up from Texas year ago and ship
ped him out to Indianapolis.
Lands also will be asked to decide
the eligibility of Chester Morgan, an
outf1elder for Beaumont in the Texas
League, who was drafted by the Phil
lies, but who may not have played
enough professional base ball to come
under the terms of the draft.
