cannot be settled without education.
There is just one way in which

is to be good advertisements for their

Ia too often we are apt, in our re-
sentiment, to place higher valuation
on our own individual ability and in

we can avoid, and one thing we must
do. We must remember, unfair

Cooper Has Stamina.
Like the other Cardinals, he Is
young and tough enough to stand
the rigors of seven-game series,
if it comes to that, while Dickey no
longer is able to absorb much of a
knocking around. And when Dickey
is out, the Yankee catching becomes
just ordinary.
Rollie Hemsley, the veteran whose
reformation rocked the baseball
world several years ago, is at the
moment the clubs second string re-
ceiver. Buddy Rosar used to be, but
that was before he disappeared in
mid-season and turned up in Buffalo
taking an examination to become a
policeman.
Hemsley in his first 80 games hit
a respectable .298, while Rosar in
ST outings hit only 236. Ken ODea
Cooper's understudy, had mark of
.299 in 81 contests. His chances of
seeing any World Series service were
extremely limited.
So, with Cooper deserving at least
an edge over the Yankee receivers
on his potential ability to catch the
entire series in bang-up style and
the st. Louis pitching staff an ap-
parent stand-of against the Yankee
curvers, the Cards need concede
nothing to the world champions in
those two vital departments.

everything considered, probably was
the most consistently valuable cog
in the magnificent Yankee machine.
In preview of other World Series
it was customary merely to point
out that the Yankees had Bill
Dickey and the opposition had to
like it. Bill was that good-not
only a murderous hitter but magi-
clan at handling pitchers.
This time, though, it is painfully
necessary to record that the back
stop Of the generation has at last
begun to bow to age and an ac-
emulation of injuries. He has been
out of action perhaps half of the
present season and will not have

Can't Play Regularly.
When he is in there, of course,
Bill still is the master craftsman, a
symphony in motion, and ever so
often he can knock the cover off
baseball. But he can't do it regu-
larly any more and it would be risky
to assume that he might catch all
the games in the coming series,
much less catch as he used to.
Cooper, on the other hand, is one
of the games most brilliant young

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 25.-Some
Of the iron that hasn't been tossed
in the national scrap heap will be
tested by Temple here tonight when
Georgetown trots out its 1912 edition
with starting lineup that must
bear heavy burden throughout the

Georgetown will send crack first

First Team Powerful.
"I think our first team is about as
good as we've had at Georgetown in
recent years" appraises Hagerty,
but we're unusually weak in reserve
strength. If we're going anywhere
this year our first team will have to
take us there"
Georgetown will toss one Of the
Nations most diversified attacks at
Temple, with the Hoyas employing
single wing, short punt, spread and
T formations. In Ed AgneW, Johnny
Barrett, Frank Dornfeld and Bill
Mclaughlin the Hoyas have a

Also ticketed as likely to create

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Sept. 25.-They'rs
getting ready to toss the confetti
and haul the National League PEN
nant out Of the excelsior in st. Louis
today.
The Cardinals, although idle and
resting in preparation for the final
two games of the season, could gain
the championship before sundown
as the challenging Brooklyn Dodg-
ers again must play Boston and, If
defeated, could not possibly catch
the Redbirds, who continue to lead
by 212 games. A postponement in
Brooklyn also would finish the Beau-
tiful Buns, as they are scheduled to
finish the season against Philladel-
phia Saturday and Sunday. The
unplayed Boston game would be out
definitely.
The Cardinals are certain of one
major issue-they cannot finish the
season with less than a tie, even If
they lose to the Chicago Cubs Sat-
urday and Sunday.
Playoff Would Open Monday.
In the event Of season tie, the
first game of the playoff would be
played in st. Louis next Monday
night, with the remaining two in
Brooklyn, if necessary, the following
Wednesday and Thursday. AS a re-
suit, the starting date of the World
Series would be set back.
All this does not worry the
Cardinals. who are convinced they
cannot miss. They were so certain
that they held a meeting in their
club house today to decide upon
their World Series split. That could
mean the winners share, the losers
part or second-place money.
The program for the idle Cardinals
today was rest and plenty of it.
