Walter Johnson and Oabby Klrcot. will match wits in the world's series. Jl has been twenty years since Street was ealchini,- Johnson's fast ones for tho old WasliinKtoti Sen ators. Kor variety. Gabby tried catching bulls dropped from the top of Washington monument, on the theory Ihey could bo "o hard er to handle than Walters "hish hard one." After three or four years, their paths separated. Street (loinc to tho minors to build up a managerial reputation while John son stayed in the capital, finally gained world's series pitehinl! fame and then. last year, was en trusted with the helm of the Sen atorial craft. This spring has found both Johnson and Street upsetting Imc ketsful of dope all over the major league premises. Neither the Sen ators nor Cardinals were figured by the experts to be going any where, except In Iho second divi sion, yet the end of .May lias found the one firmly entrenched at the top of the American league, the other, sharing tho pace-setting with . liroolityn. Good pitching has been Hi" main answer and in this respect both Johnson and Slreet knov what it Is all about. Tolerantly, the visiting corres pondents listened to the optimism .manifest in Iho St. I.ollis training camp al liradenton early this spring. Willi the balmy breezes blowing in off the West Coast. Sam ISrca don. genial president of the Card inals, renin rked: "Hoys, this is tho best club wo havo ever had." Down In the hotel lubby, we en countered Street. Wo will have great pitching." opined Gabby. "Soma of the vet eran.': may need a little inoro rest than formerly but they can get It because we have siiuio good young sters ready. And Ihe rest of tile club Is well rlxed. 1 don't see how we can belli being right up there." The boys smiled, as much as lo h-ay: "Oh, VealiV" H is Gabby who can smile now, for lie has not only driven the Cardinals up lo the vanguard and hcpl them there but also kept his job, which Is something when the short life of his predecessors Is considered.

As llnk Templeton, Stanford's .able young track and field coach, tells tho story, the secret of Krlc Krenz's rcniarkalile success as a discus thrower is his aliilltv to "know where he Is at" while mak ing the whirl preliminary to heav ing tho heavy platter long dls ta noes. ".Most discus throwers." nbserv.-d Templeton. "take a brief wind-up, whirl and throw, just trusting to luck and letling go. They may have good form but Krenz has studied his specially to such an extent that ho knows exactly what he is do ing In every move and makes every motion count, lie Is the nly dis'. cus-thrower who knows just how ho Is going to come out of that spin. "It is like an aviator going Inlo a tall spin. An experienced fiver will not lose his balance, lie will keep control and come out of It all right. The novice, if he gets out of It at all. probably will go right into anolher tail spin and crash. "That's the difference between Krenr. and the ordinary discus thrower.
