Tigers Have Great Defense.

THE Tigers look to have more OF a
defensive than an offensive edge.
The Cubs have a superior outflcld,
however, and more capable reserves
in players like Klein, Stainback and
English.
The best backstops in base ball will
carry a big share of the burden.
Gabby Hartnett is the cleanup clout-
er for the Cubs as well as the driving
force on the field. He has had a
wonderful year. Similarly Manager
Mickey Cochrane is the man behind
the Tiger guns. The strain of lead
ership has not seemed to slow up his
playing ability or affect his batting
eye. A fighter of the old school,
Cochrane is generally conceded to be
the difference between a fourth place
club and two-time pennant winner.
Man for man, outside of warneke
and Rowe, the pitching prospects are
difficult to forecast. The Cubs will
match Charley Root. Bill Lee and
Larry French against Tommy Bridges,
Elden Auker and Alvin Crowder after
the opening days shooting is over.
The Tiger staff has an edge in world
series experience, as well as a fine
assortment of curves. But the Cub
twirlers have been hotter" over the
last month of campaigning.
Lee, a freshman and fast ball
pitcher, may feel the pressure.
French faces heavy fire from the
southpaw hitters in the Tiger lineup.
Bridges and Auker, the latter with
q puzzling underhand delivery, are
only as good as their control. If
they have it, they may furnish the
antidote for Chicago's impetuous
charge.

Cubs Like CollegianS.

TN SHORT, the Cubs act more like a
= college foot bail team than an
aggregation Of professional ball play
ers. Their attitude is in marked con-
trast to that of the more experienced
but less agile Tigers.
They will enter the series with the
same psychological advantage that
swept the 1906 White Sox, the famous
"hitless wonders" and the youthful
1910 Athletics to victory over the
great Chicago Cubs of Frank Chances
day; that carried the miraculous Bos-
ton Braves of 1914 to sweep over
the Athletics, and that marked the
dramatic triumph of the 1888 New
York Giants, spurred on by Blondy
Ryan, over the Washington Senators.
There's always the ultimate tumble,
but the crest of winning wave is a
good spot and the Cubs are on it now.
The Tigers were unable to break even
in their last rs games, winning IL and

COLLEGE SPIRIT"

BY ALAN GOULD,

~ ETROIT, october 1.-For three
more or less debatable rea-
sons, not necessarily confined
- to the base ball dope" or
succulent statistics. it is this writer's
belief that the Chicago Cubs will beat
the Detroit Tigers in six-game world
series.
It is fairly well known by now that
the Cubs are the hottest" team in
either major league. fresh from 81
game winning streak and booming to-
ward the big show under terrific i'm
petus. With their streak ended. they
may be overdue for a reaction, but
they didn't let down until they
crushed the last resistance of the cele-
brated Gas House Gang in st. Louis
and knocked out the incredible Deans.
Secondly, Chicago has remarkably
young, aggressive club that is geared
for high speed. It's an outfit that
might crack under pressure, but it
didn't against tougher opposition than
anything the American League could
offer the Tigers. 1t has nothing to
lose and everything to gain by shoot
ing the works. No worries about past
performances or previous disappoint-
ments will beset this outfit.

Danger Lies in Initial Beating.
WHILE the Cubs were staging their
w 2l-game streak, which topped
their feat of coming from l0l2 games
back of the then leading Giants in
July, what of the Tigers?
Well, when they enter the classic
tomorrow they'll be seeking to break
a losing streak of three games. While
the Cubs went unbeaten over a three
week stretch the Bengals in their last
% games won only and lost IA.
Throughout their 21-game march
from third place on September to
the pennant only three of the Cubs
starting pitchers had to be relieved.
On the other hand, Schoolboy Rowe
of the Tigers has broken even in his
last six starts, and Elden Auker took
a bad lacing Sunday.
Since the Chicubs began their amaz-
ing drive they scored l34 runs in 81
games, as against 48 for the opposi-
ton. They averaged approximately
six runs per game, and their pitchers
held the enemy to an average of about
two tallies.
Probably the Cubs greatest danger
lies in possible bad trouncing in the
opening game here tomorrow, or in the
first two games.
They blazed their way through the
National League, but the psychological
effect of a bad beating in the series
may throw l9-year-old Phil Cavar-
retta, colorful Augie Galan and one
or two other younger members of the
Cubs into state of triple jitters.
Many critics think that if Mickey
Cochrane starts Auker, the underhand
specialist. who will be something new
to the Cubs, the Tigers may scare
the Bruins at the outset.
But this still is speculation. Why
not give the Cubs youngsters the
benefit of the doubt?
Besides, the Tigers didn't win anv
medals a year ago as clutch" players,
and, even with that experience, there
Is no assurance that ice water will
course through the veins of Owen,
Rogell and White in this series.
Lastly. but not least, the Bengals
were prepared to battle the Cards

I Cubs are not great ball team,
but. like Stallings' Braves of 1914,
they've mastered the trick of winning.
The Grimm Reaper-the Cub ma
chine-either is too lucky to lose or
it possesses a spirit of the quality
which comes along once in genera

be conceded a chance, luck being de-
sired above even talent in short

Perhaps the Cubs should not win.
They're young and inexperienced.

their first year in the major leagues.
They should crack or choke up in the

But down to the dramatic end Of

almost unbelievable 21-game winning
streak.

The theory is a combination of

bella's crystal. When all the returns
we're in, they all added up to the Cubs
whipping the Tigers in half dozen

The hunch is inexplainable. The
sentiment is to look upon a reincar-
nation of the miracle Braves of 1914,
who were last in the National League
on July 4, but not only first under
the wire, but a four-g game victor over
the heavily-favored Athletics.

The appropriate location for rock
garden Is on natural slope, and
since such a garden is generally in
formal in design, 1t should be sepa-
rated from those Of formal develop
ment through the use Of suitable
paintings. 1t Is advised by Walter r.
Ballard. horticulturist for the UNI
yersity of Maryland Extension Service.
If the rock garden must be devel-
oped on level land, 1t should be 10
Gated near one margin and a mound,
sloping to the front, should be devel-
oped, according to Mr.. Ballard.
He points out that one Of the most
difficult tasks in the construction Of
rock garden is to secure an appear
ance of naturalness. To secure this
effect the stones must be Of the proper
size and must be laid correctly.
One Of the most serious mistakes
made by the average rock garden build
er according to Mr.. Ballard, is to use
stones that are too small to give a
stable effect. A fair proportion Of the
stones should be from one to three
feet in diameter, and thy should be
embedded in the soil so that they will
slope back into the bank. If the
rocks are planted" in this manner
the rains will run into the crevasses
between them, rather than down over
the face Of the rocks. It is also wise,
50 far as possible, to keep the stones
In the same plane; that Is, in layers,
as they occur In nature. Also, north,
east and south exposures are to be
desired. as they will provide for the
varying requirements Of different
plants.
The judicious use Of dwarf ever
greens will be found especially attrac-
tive and effective in developing the
setting, as well as providing some in
terest even In the Winter months,
Mr.. Ballard points out. Spreading
jumpers. dwarf yews. pines and the
horizontal cotoneaster are suggested
as suitable types.

Exceptional progress toward its de-

falling approximately $50 houses of
the new design have been assumed
by the committees. and Of those 125

tractors and builders.
Because Of the extensive territory

that its working out is in the hands

Private investments Mount,

Acting Federal Housing Administya-
tor Stwart Mcdonald announced to-
day that the total amount Of private
funds reported by financial institu-
tionS to date As definitely allocated
for the purchase of home mortgages
insured by the administration Is $404,-
389,519.
Among the latest reported is S.

was announced by Elbert s. Brigham,
vice president of the company and
chairman of the Committee on FL
nance, after q conference with Nc
Donald.
There are "a insurance companies
with assets of more than $4. 4.487, ,000,-
900 which have been approved as
mortgages under Title II Of the ma
tional housing act" Mcdonald said.
''These are all authorized to purchase
insured mortgages and to make in
sured mortgage loans directly to home
owners. All loans are made by private
financial institutions, not BY the ad-
ninistration.
Others Investing Heavily.
while ALLEGATION OF specific
amounts for investment in insured
mortgages has been reported by many
insurance companies. others which
have made no such report have been
investing actively in insured mort
cages under the mutual mortgage in
surance plan"
ALLEGATION of this fund of private
capital for investment in insured
mortgages, Mr. Mcdonald pointed out
Is made voluntarily by the financial
institutions, and reported voluntarily.
He said further that the amount ac-
tually reported is by no means an in
dication Of the total amount Of pri-
vate funds available for investment
in insured mortgages.
He is confident that the supply Of
private capital Is entirely sufficient
for the visible demand for this type
of investment.
As a matter of record, the alloca-
ton Of the sum of 1851 1852 ,0l9 was
reported by only 1,842 of more than
$500 approved mortgages, which is
taken as an indication that this sum
IS less than one-third of the actual
amount now available for insured
mortgage investment.
