Oct. 6 —(U.R)— SEMAG XIS NI SEEKNAY EHT! Now read that backwards you'll have my world series selections — the Yankees in six games. I wrote it nackwards on purpose. If past performances mean anything my selection will turn out to be a reserve one. so I thought j I might just as well put it in reverse English to start with. (There will be a 10 minute recess at this point to allow readers j to run out and place bets on the Giants. —Ed). I'll give you my reasons for selecting foe Yankees to triumph. In the first place, the American leaguers have a habit of scoring morer uns than the Giants. And nowhere in the records, no matter how far back your research carries you. will you find any evidence that scoring lots of runs impairs a team's chances of victory. In fact, from what I’ve seen of baseball, and from what I have learned by talking to critics and players of the game, I would almost be willing to flatly stateUhat it is impossible for the team scoring the most runs to lose. That may Seem a bit teachnical at first glance, but I sincerely believe it’s true. What do you readers think about it? Id appreciate you writing me care of somebody else and letting me know. In the second place —and I really believe it is the most important of all the reasons—there are many more married men on the Yankees than on the Giants. There is nothing like a little woman when it comes to the business of giving a man that will to win. that fighting spirit. Single players will have nothing more than a desire for glory driving them on, but the married will be thinking of those extra thousands of dollars that go to tne winners, and how those extra dollars can be converted into coats, dresses, shoes, curtains, iceboxes, legs bf lamb, toys for junior, and the thousand and one other things that descend none too gracefully on a man when he unthinkingly says 'T do.” Baseball men have tt>ld me that there is nothing more dangerous up at that plate than a player whose wife has set her heart on a silver fox cape and a trip to Bermuda. “I would much rather face a .300 hitter who is unmarried,” a well known pitcher once told tne, “than a married .220 hitter whose wife has become dissatisfied with

Marriage also inspires the field- | ing and running of its —uh. uh — 1 victims. It has been proved time: and again that a shortstop whose wife has her eyes on a home in the suburbs can cover twice as much teritory as a single shortstop with no family responsibll- | ities. In the third place, I like the I Yankees because their strategy is’ so simple, that of the Giants so! involved. The Y'ankees just bust' : the ball and run. The Giants have ( made baseball—actually a game as, , simple as the mechanism of a! wheelbarrow—very involved. So. it's the Yankees in six games, with the Yanks taking the first one today by belting Hubbell out of there inside of six innings.

NEWARK BEARS EVEN SERIES Newark Takes Third In Row In “Little World I Series Columbus. 0.. Oct. 6. <U.R>“ The t Newark Bears will go into the sev- i ! enth and concluding game of the ’ | "little world series" here tonight as an odds-on favorite to take the ( championship from the Columbus . Red Birds. Joo Beggs was the ( mound*nominee of the Bears with John Chambers slated to work for 1 the Birds. | After losing three straight on I their home field, the Bears regaini ed the form that had enabled them to win the International league flag ’ by 25H games upon their arrival hero. They deadlocked the series at three all last night when they hammered out a 10 to 1 triumph:, j over the Red Birds. Spurgeon Chandler, husky righthander. was in the box for the I Bears last night and pitched mast--1 erful ball. He gave up but seven . ! scattered hits and was never in ’ i danger. Chandler had the Red Birds ■ popping np on hitting easy infield chances throughout the contest. I The Newark outfielders did not . have a putout in the first seven in- J I nings and only three during the I contest. Columbus used four hurlers in ] a futile attempt to halt the Bears.
