1 j Four'or.flve years, ago it used to be
a i cinch for . an expert - like myself to
figure how a world series waa coming
out. All -I had to do was to find out
' from somebody which was the American
. Learue team. But the lively ball knocks
the dope for a ghoul and; pretty near
every game cornea out me way you
thought it wouldn't, and about the only
clubs that have played the baseball- of
which they , are capable thl year -ia the

But rt'can'f efo'ne-harin -to make a
t couple oil remarks about the strong and
weak pointa of the two rivals and, as
pitching,' U generally falwaya supposed
. th most imDortant feature of a
? world series I might begin, by saying.
thai both managers can boast or pitsn
.: lug staffs that are -airtight; like -a cattle
, , car. i Moreover almost any pitcher on
,i either club can be called on to pitch
i every day as most of them only lasted
: ; two innings Uie oay Deiore.
-All season long Manaffef McGraw and
' i Huggins liaa had a game of put and take
with their pitchers put, them -in and
i 1 take-them out So if you don't like-the
i ; gmy they pick to start the opening game,
remember, hia act only runs ten minutes.

r strength and they both field pretty good.

BUDGETS IS TWO CLASSES. 1 .
The commissioners pointed oat today ;
that the budgets fall into two classes:'
First, the departments ever .the expenses '
of which the corxirnissioners have no1'
power ; second, the . departments w
which the commissioners have virtually, -complete
power. The former class in
cludes the. sheriffs office, clerk's office.,,
circuit courts, auditor's office, assessor's,
office and' the like. The latter Includes'
roads. bridges, ".relief 'Work. . hospitals.'
county - farm ' sad enterprises of - that
nature. - .. '
The commissioners stated they hadi
kept to a maintenance basis In virtually! j
every department In cases where in-, .
creases are, noted, they attribute theini
to new laws over- -which they have no , -
control.-' ''i;; .
Some items thai, have decreastd from '
what they were, last year and the extent' -of
these-- decreases,, are as,, follows;'

that. will be epent, during 1821. but the
1921 budget did not provide that, mncjt. '
money and. the commissioners had . to '
take it out of .other budgets.' The Com- V
munlty Chest , will continue to pay , the
salaries-of the relief workers, but the.
large private subscribers have toed no- '
tice that they are not going to- help

money far poverty stricken families ia
the city. This explains the increase in
the .budget.'. '.. .-" . ':'- :"f "f-$ :X""1- i--Jt
The increase In election expenses ot
$14,000 is largely traceable to the new law
that provides for two election boards in--''
stead of one. According to this law; the'
votes shall be counted as soon as they
are cast - ', .. v ,-s.
The commissioners have evidently -in
creased the emergency-fund by. $30,000
as a result of - their experiences during .
1921, when several of the smaller budgets ".
became exhausted early in the year. - - !
The tax conservation commission has
been hiring 'high salaried experts. The
county, must meet these expenses. " ,. r
The law, not the commissioner fixes -the
widow's pensiona - ; - .-
The Increase of $20,775 In" tho budget
for the circuit courts is due primarily'
to the added expense of summoning and
caring for women Jurors.- . ,- ,.
