Sluggers hate a slow ball ■ke poison. "f Shocker, a right-hander, probt ably is the best bet of the Yankees, against St. Louis. Pennock is rather frail and needs plenty of rest. For that reason he may be used in the Saturday contest. We believe lie will be defeated if opposed by Sherdel. Manager Hornsby has plenty of Xaith in the veteran Alexander, und may use him. If he does, the Yanks are likely to hop on him. The pitchers the rival leaders start they consider their aces. The hurler who pitches first is counted upon to win a couple of games. It seems to us that Shocker and Sherdel should warm up for the first big battle. AYe do not say they will start. They are the ones we think SHOULD start. Pennock and Alexander are just as likely to open the fireworks. There ntay not be a great deal to choose from between Pennock and Shocker, but Rogers bad better use Sherdel if lie wants the jump tit New York next Saturday. This ought to start several arguments. And what is baseball without the various heated discussions indulged in by the fans. Sorpebody has to pitch the first game.

STRENGTH AROUND SECOND GIVES ST. LOUIS EDGE ON INFIELD

Difficult to Predict What Young Players on Both Clubs Will Do. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Corrcsoondent NHW YORK, Sept. 29.—Considering infields, their strength and what they will do in a pinch is far beyond a paper and a pencil or a perusal of the records. It is something thpt can be decided only by the test. Last year when the Washington Senators and the Pittsburgh Pirates were preparing for the world’s series, the Senators were given a huge edge on the infield because of the pivot at second base between Roger Peckinpaugh, a star shortstop, and Bucky Harris, young manager of the team and one of the fastest doflbleplay men in the game. Yet, in the series, Peckinpaugh collapsed and was a clean bust. He had been voted the most valuable player in the American League and it imposed upon him a task under which his nerves cracked. Peck had much to do with the losing of the series and Glenn Wright, the young Pittsburgh shortstop, was one of the heroes of the series. All of ’Em Young If strain had so much affect upon the veteran Peck, who had been through the grind several times, what will the burden do to the young in fielders in this coming series? And they are nearly all young. Rogers Hornsby, Jim l Bottomley arid Joe Dugan are the only veterans on the two infields and only Dugan has been through a world’s series. Gehrig, Lazzeri and Koenig of the Yankees are in their first season, and Thevenow and Bell are also little more than freshmen. There will have to be a steadying influence and in this respect the Cardinals will have the advantage on account of Hornsby and Bottomley. Dugan at third base can't hold down the whole Yankee infield. Edge to Bottomley Considering the first basemen, St. Louis has a slight edge because Jim Bottomely is more experienced and smarter than Lou Gehrig, the former Columbia University star. St. Tallis has all the advantage at second base whei*e Manager Hornsby will hold the bag. Lazzeri is one of the season’s finds, a hardworker, a long and dangerous hitter, Hornsby is the greatest second baseman in baseball. At shortstop, Thevenow of the Cards and Koenig of the Yankees are youngsters getting their first shot. They are good fielders, but Koenig is highly erratic. As the Cardinals outclass the Yankees on second base, so do the Yankees outclass the Cards on third base. Joe Dugan Is the greatest fielding third baseman in baseball, and is still a dangerous batsman. Bell Is a good ball player but he can't be expected to rank with Dugan, except at the bat. Summing up, the Cardinals seem to have a slight advantage because of the strength around second base.

YANKEES IN COLD St. Louis Calls Off Practice —Hornsby’s Mother Critically 111. By Paul W. White United Press Staff Correspondent NEW TORIv, Sept. 29.—With the first fans beginning to arrive for the 1926 world’s series, and workmen engaged in putting the Yankee Stadium in order for the opening game Saturday, the New York Yankees turned out for their second practice in preiJaration for the series today. The St., Louis Cardinals appeared at the Yankee Stibium for a workout, but did not don uniforms. Word came that the mother of Rogers Hornsby, Cardinal manager, was critically ill, and practice was called off for the day, most, of the squad accompanying Hornsby back to their hotel. Buster Gehrig, first baseman, and Bob Meusel, left field, were the first Yanks to turn out for practice. Babe Ruth, of course, was a center of interest and he didn't disappoint. As he came on the field a dog followed him. Babe turned to chase the dog. The dog thought It great fun and led the big home run king around and around the field, while everyone cheered. The field today was wet and soggy and the air cold. It felt more like hockey weather than baseball. TACKLE REPORTS Bu United Press CHAMPAIGN, 111., Sept. 28.—Ted Marrlner, a regular tackle on last year's varsity, has appeared for practice and greatly bolstered Illini strength in the" line. Marrlner was unable to rejKirt earlier because lie was studying intensively for a special examination to become eligible.
