I for one am so ex excited ex cx- cited I find it difficult difficult difficult dif dif- dif dif- to sleep o t more than 15 IS hours a night L k M Dozens of questions ques ques- f concerning the world series t. t keep popping into my head one being being being be be- ing how the operators operators oper oper- t t of it get by r with calling it the r world series J I Jam am a loyal American Ameri Ameri- McCarthy can citizen who wouldn't think of using the flag for a piano runner and who has a working knowledge of The Star-Spangled Star Banner but you cant can't tell me that there Isn't more to the world than the 11 or 12 cities represented in the National or American league But the rest of the world has no chance in the world series You might assemble yourself an entire team of Babe Ruths but unless it happened to toe be e in the National or American leagues it never would have a chance to show its Us supremacy Ifa If Ifa Ifa a team from Java say arrived in this his country and disputed the Yankees Yan Yam kees kees' claim to the title of champions champions champions cham of the world the players would get a hearing all right but butt I It t would be from a sanity commission commis commis- sion slon and not from Judge Landis Land is isor or Jake Ruppert Other questions concerning the coming series that intrigue me are Will WilI the Yankees win in four straight or will the opposition be stubborn and hang around and Insist in insist insist in- in on getting brained in a fifth game Who will ill have the Brooklyn bridge and gold brick concessions in the grandstands Such items as these should sell like hot c cakes kes among persons willing to pay to watch atch an event ent whose hose outcome is much more certain than that of a bull f fi fight ht Will the Yankees start their first team or hold the varsity in re reserve reserve reserve re- re serve until the National leaguers get geta a base on balls and threaten to score score score-if if they can get three more bases on balls Will Joe McCarthy manage to hold a straight face when asked what he thinks will be the outcome he says it looks like a tough battIe battle bat bat- tie tle with the team that gets the breaks winning Will the management of the National National National Na Na- team that gets in the series show respect for its dead chances of winning by edging the tickets in black and using crepe and not bunting bunting bunting bunt bunt- ing for or the park decorations I am not a man easily moved to pity but I cannot help but feel sorry for the owner of the National National National Na Na- team which manages to inthe win in the pennant in that league and gets in the tho series The players take nearly all nil of the money from the first four Jeur games with the owners depending on the tho remaining remaining remaining remain remain- ing three for their revenue
