Our first reaction was one qf gratification "St. Edward's Crusaders" has a better sound to us than "St. Edward's Tigers."

self the grey-beard pitching championship of the majors. The Windy City offers on the north side Ol Grandbabby Charlie Root of the Cubs, 40 years old and still going strong, and on the south side Ol' Mutton Chops Ted Lyons, of the White Sox, who's flagging it on down to his 39th mile-post. Root is the daddy of all active major leaguers, and is far from washed up. Only a few days ago the Cubs moved into Philadelphia and tossed Bill Lee and Claude Pas-seau, the club's two top pitchers, at the Phillies and both were licked. The next day Root put the Phils in their place.

That's the kind of pitcher Root has been throughout his career, winning the clutch ball games and minding his business. And, he'll be back with the Cubs next season. Lyons, as big a favorite on the south side as Root is at Wrigley field, has been one of the unluckiest players in the majors. He never has played a professional ball game for any club but the White Sox, and he's put in 17 seasons with them. The tough part is that he's never been with a winner.

There is something delightfully incongruous to us in the idea of Saints playing football. In fact, it is so far-fetched that it becomes grimly humorous the winning run on Ken Keltner's AMERICAN LEAGUE and carries with it the implication We never quite forgave Jack Chevigny for changing the St. Edward's team name from Saints to Tigers.

It was Jack's contention that no team named Saints could play foothall; that the very name itself connoted a withdrawal from the more violent things of life such as smashing blocks and head-on tackles. He contended that the name Tigers would tend to inspire the bearers thereof to imitate the striped that these Saints are not really saints at all but imps of the gridiron devil in disguise.

We wondered if the people out at St. Edward's ever wrote any newspaper headlines, and if so, if they ever tried using nine-letter words promiscuously in a short-count head. Pondering further upon this interesting and (from our standpoint) highly practical topic, we wondered if they did it with malice aforethought. Maybe it was an underhanded move to force sports editors into bigger headlines over St. Edward's items.
