Show Plans for Series Made lade Madey y re Favorites BV DY GEORGE CHADWICK CHADWICKS Special S lal Correspondent of ot The Stand Stand- Examiner ard-Examiner Copyright 1927 Consolidated Press Association i JEW YORK Aug 13 The The teams IN 1 are coming down the home homestretch homestretch homestretch stretch and the fans are beginning mentally to scent the tang of ot the October air and the smoke of ot battle from the world series The returns are not all in but the favorites have hove been picked The New York Yankees seem to have things safely buttoned up in the American league leaving the main speculation revolving around the National league pennant winner There are at least three camps among the fans according to whether their choice lies with Chicago Pittsburg Pitts Pitts- Pittsburg burg or St S1 Louis as the world series series' opponent of ot the Yankees The fans who are beginning to accept the vic vic- victory victory vic vic- victory tory of ot the Yankees with resignation are hoping that the Chicago Cubs will wll win the National league pennant They think the Cubs give the Yanks a new sensation and tickle their funny bones The Cubs are hustlers and the Yanks are busters and If It the two should clash the deton deton- detonation detonation detonation would be something terrific The connoisseurs of ot baseball are hoping for a battle batUe between New NewYork NewYork NewYork York and the Pittsburg Pirates They figure that the scoring possibilities of ot the Pirates are as good as those of ot the Yankees while dreading that the Pittsburg pitching might be so eo weak as to suffer a collapse YANKEES ORED FAVORED It seems to be public belief that belief that is baseball public belief that belief that if it the Yanks and the St St. Louis Cardinals get together again in the world series the tho Yankees will annihilate their rivals of ot a year ear ago The tide sets I that way nay and yet jet et If old Grover Cleve Cleve- Cleveland Cleveland Cleveland land Alexander is properly preserved for the engagement the Yanks might have the same trouble finding him that they did in 1926 If U halt half of ot the world series is played in New York the first game may iray tal tale take e place at Yankee stadium on Wednes Wednes- Wednesday Wednesday I day October 5 5 It could be played October 4 in ln a pinch It is 15 not vitally necessary that it be played before be Core Wednesday which would give the boys boysa a chance to get set for tor the fray tray after the regular schedule closes on Sunday October 2 2 If It St St. Louis wins In the National league the arrangements will A be practically practically practically as they were in 1926 when as the first series in New York ended an aB hands boarded special trains and took tooka a a. day and a night off of to o travel be between be- be between between tween Saltwater and the Father of ot Waters If It Pittsburg wins there may maybe maybe maybe be the same hurry up affair as in inthe Inthe the series between Washington and Pittsburg As a matter of ot fact tact a full day off of should be taken between New NewYork NewYork NewYork York and Pittsburg to give gi the boys opportunity to settle down a little e and to avoid giving the series the appear appear- appearance appearance appearance ance of ot a minstrel show on one night stops In case Chicago wins it will willbe willbe willbe be quite necessary to take a day off ot between games In 1926 the first two games were played pla ed in New York Then the trains loaded and the fans and players all moved cheerfully and happily on to St St. Louis where a reception brought for tor the entire Mississippi valley and a Do portion of ot Texas by mo mo- motor tor or Three games were played pIa ed in St St- StLouis StLouis StLouis Louis and the last two were fought out in New York on October 9 and 10 1 10 HERES HERE'S SCHEDULE If U the toss of ot the coin should make the 1927 1937 program similar to that of ot 1926 with the first games in New v NewYork NewYork York it is probable that Wednesday I October r 5 and Thursday would fall tall to New York and Saturday Sunday I and Monday to St. St Louis if It the Car Car- Cardinals Cardinals Cardinals win Or if It the Yankees got the first three games Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday would go to New York This schedule could also be followed toll owed in the event that Chicago wins If It the Pirates and the Yankees play in the world series the games gomes could alternate two by two in each city Thus the tho teams could play in Pitts- Pitts Pittsburg burg bun on Wednesday and Thursday take for or a a. bath and play in New York Saturday and Sunda Sunday then take an extra snooze on Monday and go back to Pittsburg for Tuesday and Wednesday ay with the finish in New NewYork NewYork NewYork York if It a seventh game were necessary sary On the whole this would probably ably make for tor good weather condi condl- conditions Of Ot course If It the Yankees began at home the series would be arranged so as u to bring Pittsburg Pitts burg home on Saturday and back to New York on Sunday because there is no Sunday baseball in Pittsburg This would not give the players any rest except that which could be obtained on sleeping cars and the folks foUs who follow tollow the series would again have reason to wish that all world orld series were in that region where baseball Is ls not presumed to be ba played because of ot the danger of ot igniting the bath |
