NEW YORK, Sept. ID (UP)-
When spring came last April and
the buds began to burst, the sap
rose in me even as it did in the
Lordly pine and birch and, before
friends could stop me, l had made
several bets on the 1887 baseball
season
Today. in rummaging through my
memory book, came across a clip
ping of a story in which l listed
these preseason wagers. AS I read
it I couldn't help feeling that
the friends who tried to stop me
from making them were not true
friends. Because if they had been
they would have grabbed shotguns
and riddled my silly pelt before
allowing me to find bookmaker.
You won't believe it but here are
some of the wagers | made: ID
That Van Lingle Mungo and Paul
Derringer would win more games
than the combination of Carl Hub
bell and Dizzy Dean.
At the present writing Hubbell,
by himself, has won just one game
shy of the combined total of my
combination. The moment | MADE
the bet Mungo's fireball went out,
and he started spending his time
collecting black eyes.
(2) Lou Genrig-s consecutive
game streak would end. It's ended
all right-just like death, taxes, and
high tide. Instead of falling apart
Lou has added two inches to his
chest, rid himself of spots before
the eyes, got a new coat of paint
and apparently is good for another
two or three hundred years.
80 New York City wouldn't
land a team In the world series.
That one certainly should earn me
an outside room at some quiet re-
treat, and the wholehearted re-
spect of my fellow inmates. Even
l1lt ltlIOW WIN bi1lilho iit 10 lNdPN-
leon will stand when I enter the
room. If he doesn't I know how to
bring him to his feet-just tell him
that my choices were Pittsburgh
and Washington.
(4 Lefty Gomez would fail in
his comeback and win fewer games
than he had since 1884. There's
blue-ribbon reasoning for you. Sem
Or Gomez now has won 18 games,
and increases my resemblance to
a monkey every time he lets loose
with that high, hard one of his.
Another week and I'll be swinging
from trees
(5) Schoolboy Rowe would win
more games than Dizzy Dean. The
perennial student isn't even playing

baseball now, and has won but
two bames. If | were his teacher
I'd wear out three switches on
him, make him dust all the erasers,
and then write this in the black
board 500 times: "HoW'm | doin'
Edna? Lousey, Honey Chile!!n
t6) Ripper Collins will outhit
Johnny Mize.. Collins couldn't out
hit Mize, even if they let him swing
those crutches he's walking round
on.
Cd Chet Laabs, Detroit, will be
the best hitting American league
rookie. I must have meant Rudy
York.
(8) That no one coud name three
teams to finish higher than Gin
cinnati. Not since Aristotle has any
man so clearly pierced the fogs of
doubt and placed his finger on the
truth.
There we're otners-many others
but | haven't time to list them.

look after my candy, which I am

you a piece.

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO, Sept. Ia CUP)-Wheat
futures reacted from early strength
on the Chicago board of trade to-
day, but retained comfortable gains
over the previous close.
At the finish, wheat was 1ss to
"a cents higher. corn 2 to 1k
cents higher, and osA VI cent
higher.
Chief bullish factor was unex-
pected firmness at Liverpool
Lack of freight space and recent
large flour bookings were said to
have induced buying of wheat at
Liverpool where prices closed IA
to 2$ cents higher.
North American shipments be-
tween July l and Seut. IL revela-
ed that this country was RESPONSE
BILE for only 7,673.OO0 bushels of the
total 29,525,000 exported, bare 26
per cent.
Corn was influenced by the ac-
ton of wheat. The September de-
livery registered a sizeable advance
but lost the gain later.
