time in baseball history that Ma
tioal league champions from 81
Louis ever tangled with Detroit
pennant winners Of the American
league in q world series.
Great Picture
It should be a classic that Is q

Different Now
AS a matter of fact the picture
looks far too good to please Coch-
rane. Mickey had hoped the dod-
dering New York Giants would
stagger into Detroit Wednesday,
instead of the Red Birds. AS far
as Cochrane and his Bengals are
concerned, the Cards are unwel-
come guests at this little party.
Mickey and his men had regarded
this series as sort of exposition
which would reveal to the great
automobile center what a beautiful,
stream-lined baseball machine 1t
had turned out. But now many OF
the experts fear that the lads from

Bell Wright's 1.-THE Winning Of Bar
bara Worth"
And 50 it goes. That best Of all
western romances, Owen Wister's
1.-The Virginian," is well up toward
the top: but q book like Mrs. Porter's
"Laddie" Is ahead Of It. Mark
Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" which
competent critics have called the
greatest Of American novels, ranks
high with total sale OF q million
copies; but It = outclassed. among
others, by such q book as Five Lit
tie Peppers and How They Crew. by
Margaret Sidney.
Non-fiction titles are fairly well
represented. Edward Bellamy's fam
Gus Looking Backward" for in
stance, has sold 100000 copies, and
Wells Outline Of History" has sold
round million, and THE Rosary"
better than 100000.
Trying to deduce anything from
these figures is difficult. Good books
are on the list. In profusion; SO are
unutterably bad books. and great
many that are neither one nor the
other.
You could argue that America likes
sugary optimism in its books, and
support your argument by citation
Of titles; but such books as "All Quiet
on the Western Front" and Main
Street" are there on the list to refute
you.
What does it all mean, then?
Nothing much, probably. The Ameri-
can reading public Is pretty omnivor-
GUS. It devours good books and It
devours trash.
About all one can safely say, ap-
parently, Is that the best seller lists
don't mean q thing.

do with it, in fact cold surface is
