Every eight years the Cards win a pennant and world series to boot say the National league hunch players The Cards first won a flag in 1926 and beat the Yanks in the world series they won a worlci series in 1934 and now its the eighth year and another series on hand Which may mean something or nothing according to how many home runs the Yankees hit The fqct that the Cards broke through for an odd-year world series triumph in scrambles that eight-year thing a bit However after predicting that the Dodgers would have a chance last year without risking good dough on it we can repei that the Cards seem to have an even better chance this year than Brooklyn did last year And this despite the betting dope and general opinion of those who have seen the race close at hand For one thing you discount those 106 victories a' whale of a lot It gave the Cards three more wins than the Yanks and a 688 percentage against 669 the Yanks hung up The Cards had a tougher race but apparently the club worn out Its pitchers seemed to get better and will be well restedfor the world series Cooper will have had a six-day rest by pitching time Wednesday: Too many unpredictable things happen in a world series to make any definite assertion 1 possible These things are incidents like the dropped third strike by Owen of last year Lombard getting knocked out on his feet: 39 and Myers dropping a little toss at second which would have allowed the Reds to have won that one game from the Yanks Incidents like this have decided as iqany world series thrillers as base hits However we would be surprised at a short series either way and the longer it goes the better are the Cardinal chances for they have pitching and especially southpaw pitching and rival National managers have picked the Cards to beat the Yanks and each has a different reason namely Cooper Lanier or Pollet Football Dope Brews i The Saturday games not only gave an 'Insight on Wichita but some of Its opponents as well Taking some of them In order briefly: St Won a hard game has marks of being strong in its conference probably not quite as good as Iasi year when it beat the Munles for the first time Game should be an even one and well worth watching Washington Looks like It might be a bit too much for the Munles but It may be a rousing game Washington held Iowa as well as Nebraska did Washburn Looks weaker than in years Lost to K-Wesleyan usually under Central class Game favorable for The two tied last year Emporia State-Last year it played a scoreless tie with Fort Riley this year Riley trounced the Hornets 34-14 It looks like a WtL victory again This was the only team beat last season Fort Perhaps much stronger than last year when it was just starting football and built a team in a hurry- It be a bit too much for It- also plays the Commandos here the following week and it should be a rousing game Kansas Got an awful lac Ing down in Texas It -still has so much more material than that it would be something to brag about If the Shockers could hold 'em down maybe tie 'em Looked to have scoring power in walloping Sterling But is Sterling of any strength this season? Well know the answer later We still believe the Munles can reverse the defeat of last year All In all it looks favorable for three victories' for the Munles perhaps four and perhaps even one more a tie' If they can win three however' we will for one call it notable Improvement over 41 what with the absence of reserve strength Commandos Draw Crowd If the Commandos draw no more for their games than they had for practice Sunday still do much better at the gate than the semi-pro club did last year which broke the Ice here for Industrial football We've seen less of a crowd out for college games in the days the Friends Quakers played over on the present field than the local pros had Sunday It was quite a turnout and Indicated keen Interest here in Sunday football featuring army and pro teams That the Mil-ler-Hayes pass-and-catch duo will be the best yet watched here Is a prediction of many dose football students 1 Big Games Coming Up "The world series will be on next Saturday but football will not take a back seat The warmup games are over and for blood now Biggest game In the Midwest will not be an all-college game but Minnesota-Iowa Seahawks clash This game holds a lot of drama underneath the surface for it brings Lieut CoL Bemie Bierman and his powerful naval cadets up against the mighty Minnesota Gophers a school Bierman made invincible In football and a' two-time holder of the mythical collegiate crown Of course a defeat 'would not affect Minnesota's college standings but it still has a hankering to win football games And Bierman has the same idea also On the whole the college teams have done right well against the strong -service dubs Michigan's victory Saturday being the most notable 'in disposing of the powerful Great Lakes teaml and with ace Kuzma out of the game entirely West News end and CBS) Comment (MBS) Late Variety with News (NBC) Dance (2 (BLt?

Well one reason might be that since Aug 1 their chuckers have turned in 17 games in which the opposition got six hits pr less Eight of these games were sik-hittrs five were five-hitters and they had one each of four three two and one-hitters Whatl No no-hittei? This was not a one-ihaq parade by any means The honors were split like a watermelon lor a family of six Indicating Marse McCarthy can let the boys draw straws and be pretty sure the guy who gets the short cne can handle the job picely Ernie Bonham and Marvin Breuer each contributed four of these performances Atley Donald and Hank Borowy each was guilty three times Red Ruffing twice and Spurgeon Chandler once The one-hitter belongs to Borowy And as another indication tha the Yankee' sluggers always slug It is noted that they lost the decision in four of those 17 games in which the other team got six hits or less We thought the Cincinnati Reds had a copyright on such funny business A Red hurler has about a 50-50 chance winning if he pitches a no-latter So the Cards whose mound staff is slightly tremepdous itself can be sure they are going to look at some pretty fair pitching in the world series and they have the added discomfort of knowing that when they do hit the ball solidly McCarthy has a bunch of rabbits loose out in the field that looking for a cabbage patch In fact without those rabbits there wouldn't be quite so many six-hitters and five-hitters and less A strength is through the middle they say nothing wrong 'with the Yankee catching Joe Gordon is practically a second- though PhU Rlzzuto is more than a statue out there Joe DIMaggio had the year at the plate he had last year ibut he can cover three quarters of the outfield with that lazy lope of his So you see what the opposing team is up against hard enough to hit the Yankee pitches and when they are hit the ball! likely as hot will be smothered before it goes too far That mean we jfhink the Yankees will be a shoo-in against the Cards We still sure which team we like But it does mean that the Yankees have much better pitching than they are given credit for having and that their slugging although always dangerous enough to carry them through without this fine pitching performance and those rabbits out in the field nibbling away at loose baseballs -Home Was Never cr COLONEL- sis TVt GENERAL-SAYS DON'T HAVE GO of of on I By WIljTNEY MARTIN (Wide Woi'ld Sports Columnist) NEW YORK Sept Boy how those Yankee slug that ball they? really too bad they have no pitching Some of their chuckers actually allow more than six hits a game now and Uien The common misconception of Joe dub is that it is a team which just overpowers the opposition and Is willing to use one of the bloomer girls- as a pitcher just as long as it gets its chance to bat according to the rulebook COMMANDOS WILL FLASH DECEPTION Workout Fj s' Coaches Are Working Up New Stuff for Local Fans -'From all Appearances there Is plenty of interest in Wichita's Aero Commandos More than 1000 fans turried out jTor the first public scrimmage on the Friends university field and: for the most part the TICKET SALE OPENS The advance ticket sale for the Commandos eight game home schedule opens at 9:00 this morning at Drug Store!
