of ol the Washington Washingto tub Club Cronin believes CoS Implicitly i in ine e ability of his welt well rounded team t to take the Giants riot not in four games unes i the New York Yankees made a habit of i doing perhaps but comfortably As for lor Bill Terr Terry who led the Giants to o 0 a smashing and unexpected National league eague pennant triumph in his first firs full ull year as John

Identity of Washington's opening remained a secret Cronin himself insists he hasn't got the slight slight- pst st idea whether hell he'll nominate Genral Gen feral ral ml Alvin Crowder his cr crack ck right rIght- pander or one of his left left-banders Earl or Wally ViTally Stewart Theres There's mall chance now that the Senators vill Ill call on that expert mathematician Tonte lonte Weaver for
