"Homles, old fellow, what do you

All right, Watson. You asked for 1t.
Help yourself to few deductions:
l. The Yankees are as great q
team as ever played base ball.
2. The American League is a
stronger and faster league than the
National by at least Is per cent.
3. William Terry's system Of
base ball is old-fashioned and out
moded.
I. For the next five years Lefty
Gomez will be the games outstand-
ing pitcher (barring injuries and
brainstorms).
S. The fielding and pitching In
the American League have been
grossly underestimated.
6. Joe Di Maggie is the best
natural ball player developed since
Cobb.

come the highest paid manager in

A FTER that any comparison Of
pitchers is not close. The series
figures tell convincing story. The
Yankees scored 28 runs and made a
hits. The Giants made II runs and
40 hits-of which ~ came in the last
two games. Three Of the five Yankee
hurlers went the route. Hubbell was
the only Giant hurler to pitch nine
innings.
Red Running easily was the No. 3
pitcher in the series. He held the
Giants to seven hits and won. 8 to /.
After him came Monte Pearson, who
hurled five-hitter but needed Johnny
Murphy to retire the last man.
The Giants had no trio to match
Gomez, Rufing and Pearson. Long,
gangling Cliff Melton was not close
to victory at any time and he made
three appearances. The odds and
precedent, of course, were against him.
No first-year pitcher ever had won .
series game. But, withal, Cliff does
not belong with the Yanks' "big three"
or with Hubbell.

were sometimes rather crude and
not above sexuaIity.
It is usual in military tactics to
make the fort secure and sound
before sending out skirmishers in
to foreign territory. The church
militant might follow this rule. If
vicious magazines are a danger to
the heathen's immortal souls, how
about our own? Yet sex maga-
zines form seventy-percent of the
average city news-stand's stock.
We must either keep clean at
home, or give up preaching purity
to the Chinese, Hindus and Afri-
cans, who have a morality of their
own that seems to have sustained
them to date. But it is our opin-
ion that this howl against hot
magazines is merely a cloak for
the failure of the missions, due to
waning zeal and lack of support.
