today to repel the invading
Columbus Red Birds of the
American Association, who opened the
little world series last night with a
decisive and rather surprising 7-to-1
triumph over the Maple Leafs, Inter

A hard hitting team, the Leafs we're
handled roughly by Ed Bear Tracks,
Greer in the opening contest, getting
only five hits, but they hoped to do
better tonight in the second game of
the best five out of nine series. Bob
Klinger, another right-hander, was
expected to follow Greer on the hill
for the Red Birds. with Ed Heusser as
a possible starter.
The veteran Fred (Sheriff) Blake
was considered the probable hurting
choice of Manager Ike Boone of the
Leafs in preference to Gene Schott,
who is suffering from lame arm.
With the weather moderating. a
crowd somewhat larger than last

10 strikeouts and after the Leafs scored
their only run he made Johnny Heving

batsmen were hitting into the air all
evening and the Red Birds had only
one assist and two putouts at first.
Don Brennan, portly Maple Leaf
hurler, found a few strikeout victims
himself, but the eight WRITINGS merely
punctuated the Columbus hitting. The
Birds made 13 blows and every one but

Dizzler and daffler than the

league base ball scramble today found
the Giants and Cardinals absolutely
deadlocked IN their pennant fight, the
Detroit Tigers somewhat fdgety in the
background. wondering when the world
series is going to get under way, and
the experts groggy from all attempts
to figure out where they will be going
next.
So many factors are involved and
such intense interest is concentrated
on the National League fight that
most world series speculation now is
just so much shadow boxing. The
statistics are still being poured forth
to prove that the Tigers have a big
enough edge in batting and fielding
to offset any shortcomings they may
have in the pitching department, but
they may not mean a thing.

Some Tough Questions.

UIZ your favorite expert on the
~ following important questions
- Of the day:
If there's three-game play-of for
the pennant between the Giants and
Cardinals how will their stamina and
general resources be affected by their
terrific fight, including quick train
hops 20 and from St Louis? Will the
eventual winners be so exhausted that
they will be a pushover for the terrible
Tigers. or will they be absolutely at
the peak OF fighting edge ready to
prove that It was only a question of
which National League club would get
the chance to knock down Mickey
Cochrane's crew?
On the other hand. Will the we'll
rested condition and peace Of mind
Of the Tigers give them a definite
advantage or will they suffer from in
action and a let-down since clinching
the American League flag? Will their
strategy and pitching plans be upset
by not knowing which club they are
to tackle in the world series until
DAY or two before the big champion
ship starts or will they be relaxed
happily. primed to give their oppo-
sition the Wolverine works."
The Nation wide debate over these
stupendous issues, among others, will
not be settled until the boys finally
swing into action at Detroit either
next Wednesday or, if there is play4
of series, not until next Friday or
Saturday
There will be no attempt to settle
them IN this corner. 1t is logical
probably to concede the Tigers an
advantage by reason Of their present
freedom from strain, but 1t has been
successfully demonstrated that mo-
mentum, no matter how acquired,
is difficult to stop. In other words,
the impetus of either National League
club. gained in a play-of victory,
might be sufficient to f1atten subse-
uuent world series opposition.
STRATEGY" Mostly Hokum.
FFHAND it would seem this more
likely to be the case if it's the
Cardinals than if the Giants
stagger home in front st. Louis has
been on rampage now for nearly
month. Although it has been done.

Cochrane. and either Frank Frisch or
Bill Terry, for the series, but most
of it (the talk will be the bunk.
The methods Of all three are simple
and direct Each is a playing man
ager and each knows that home run
with the bases full is one Of the finest
bits of strategy in base ball. Such
heavy skull work as is done in critical
situations will be good or bad, de-
pending on how the luck is running.
