out the hole that the Brother tricks
circuit died with that final game between
the Giants and Cubs last week. And chiefly
because the Chicago players died with it. The
hope out Of them when Long Shank" Mccarthy made
that miraculous stab of Ripper JIM Collins hot shot, and
there is no inspiration without hope.
&c. take up business today the second
sve World Series between the New York Yankees and the
New York Giants The socaed Scent SERIES and of base
balls frequent features in recent years. although heaven
knows it took long enough to get to the first one
Gomez the Big Firecracker:
figure the Yanks will win the world title again. This
time probably in five instead of six which was the count
last fall. .....- @
That prediction based much the Yankees we'll
power make the ball co. but the power of Gomez
to stop the Giants It Sunday that the California
comet chucker will wrap up Bill Terry team and deliver it in
ceophane to Colonel Rupert and Joe Mccarthy per in
structions.
the point They haven't The Gomez who staggered around
out there beat em last year the pitcher they
going to face this fall than the present President Roosevelt
Theodore.
The Gomez the Giants will go up against in the Yankee
Stadium October better pitcher today than when he
riding of the West halfdozen years ago. which,
my friends, makes him "better than bad"
He's than that Right he is the best pitcher in
baseball goes for Hubbe Dean Mungo Feler and
Tom Dick and Harry Nor is that just my personal opinion
preference ..
It is what his own and the players of opposing
teams say about the gay Don from Rodeo Caf IN prac
tically unanimous opinion >sz~*F.*r-.
The gay Don himself insists he's quite swift with the
willing to dispute that with him. Be that it is he
something this fall he had beforebulseye
tro-and the Giants going to find him next to unbeat
able in this series.
TuUo for One in Terrys Case:
Every kid who can read box knows that such
pitcher can mighty close to being all the money in
World Series Not quite close nickel World Series
admit because there sleeper jumps involved Sleeper
jumps usually break in the play, hence extra day
Of rest for pitcher.
STILL as Gomez goes go the Yanks in short SERIES and
it so happens the Rupert Rifles will shoot their into
the coming skirmh with burnn Vernon going like house
afire
Add that to Charles the Red Rufng and batch of fair
city couters named DMaggo Gehg Dckey and Rofe and
it spells money in the bank for the rich young of the
House Of Rupert.
AS against that consider the state of Colonel Terry pitch
ing staff today compared to last October Don't forget
that through the years pitchers heavier dividends than
httes short series year ago, Terry had Hubbe and
Fzsmmons canny veterans with trick deliveries difficult to
solve at first asking.
And the One Is Melton:
The truly remarkable Hubbe dog-tired from long
string of victories and therefore, thought lucky win the
one game did win But he did have that advantage and
the inner knowledge that he had it, that team
solved his screwbal delivery the first time around.
This year likely be different I'm fond of Hub and
still help feel that those big Yankee bats will blast
and batter him.
And Fzsmmons the other with the trick delivery
"a deceptive and almost unique knucklebalof the 1886
Giant chuckng corps, has gone the way of all fesh to
Brooklyn.
In their place. Terry has freshman finger named Cliff
Melton who's hot just and who Bills best bet
but who not the tricky dpsydoo cutie type OF that
ordinarily gives the stadium shelhockers their greatest
trouble.
Which are writer's first penny thoughts the coming
Sc horsehde congress. Now it's your turn to guess
