1889 were an exception. They had
practically everything-the hitting,
the fielding, the pitching, the conf

time works on in its leisurely way.

knew defeat, are telling you the
Reds and Dodgers would run away
with an American league pennant.
What do you suppose" one vet
eran National Lacquer asked me,
would happen to that American
out against Paul Derringer, Bucky
Walters, Junior Thompson, Jim
Turner, Whitley Moore and others
day after day? There wouldn't be
a team in that league hitting .240
against Red pitching"
This is moving a trifie fast the
other way.
The two leagues now are better
balanced than they have been in
some years. Again this is largely
due to the Yankee drop.
Where are my Rulings and Dick

Ill Wind Etc.
The present campaign may be an
i'll wind for the Yankees, but it has
been a soothing summer breeze for
the other clubs which have been
shivering in the Barren Lands since
1895.
Now we have two great pennant
races, two well-matched leagues,
and two great stretch runs on ahead.
Who can ask for more? Barring,
of course, the Yankees, who still
can't understand who swung the
lead pipe and just what has hap

When it was evident that the Sem

Brother Wilkie had conceded his de-
feat, they had a fresh bowl of punch
and cut the Victory Cake. Aunt
Olympia wouldn't allow the girls to
be disturbed. 1t was Cecil Dodd who
first suggested it, and that alone
was enough to stiffen her determi-
nation.

staying in bed" she said decisive

 Deep Secret
 Lewis was so secretive regarding his plans that not even his cloS- est colleagues, such as Phil Mur- ray, knew in advance what he was to say in his much fanfared broadcast. Nor did Lewis CIO friends know definitely whether the CIO or the Willkie campaign was smelling out the $65.0O0 for radio time.
 Only person who knew defin- itely was his daughter and per- sonal secretary, Miss Kathryn Lewis. Lewis dictated his speech to his daughter in order to insure no leak. and bluntly said so to a United Mine Workers official.
 Sorry, but I'm not talking, Lewis told him. I respect your judgment, but you are good fel- low and I'm afraid you'll talk
 "The deep cloak of secrecy Lewis has thrown about his speech is well shown by the fact that not only Philip Murray, Vice President of the United Mine Workers, but also Tom Kennedy. John Owen. Van Bittner, and other miners of many years friendship have not been taken into his confidence.
 When they rushed to him in alarm about the speech, Lewis made it clear that he didn't even want their advice"

When Billy McCann. All-Alaska welterweight champion, scrambles through the ropes to defend his title in Sitka, Wednesday, November 13, he probably will be pitted against the toughest, toughest knuckle-bust- CT he has matched wits with since his successful fighting career began in Alaska.
 His opponent will be none other than Cal" McGraw, of Sitka, and the scrap is to go IS rounds, or less, but the rabid fight town of Sitka believes it will go less and are of- fering considerable money to back up their assertions, for they say that McCraw will polish off the champ in ahort order.

 What promises to make this com- ing scrap ding -dong affair, is the fact that McGraw is an aggressive type of fighter, and ways punching. Such man in the ring with Mo- Cam, means fireworks and lots of it.
 Since coming to Sitka, McGraw has had five fights, winning all of them by knockouts. He boxed an exhibition scrap with the "Sitka Kid" when he first came to Sitka, but that doesn't mean anything.
 The entire town of Sitka is taking the fight as one of those natural affairs. The fans there have com plete confidence in McGraw and be- lieve when the scrap is over a new champion will be crowned.
