It Isn't sat to swam any
thing In baseball, but it's quits
possible the Nw York OlsnU
and the Washington enaiu
will meet for the world's base
ball championship In October.
Those rioting Boston Brave,
however, have cnt down the
Giants' lead to within the vi
cinity ot six games, and there is
bo telling where the msrch
may end. There is every pls
stblllty it may lsnd the long-detested
Boston club In first posi
tion tor the National league
pennant.
Then down rn second place In
the American league, the New
York Yankees still look eon ft
dently towsrd another eham
ptonshlp. The Tasks, unseated
by the Senators several weeks
ago, haven't by any means glv
en up thoughts of another pen
nant. The personnel of the
New York Americans makes the
race Just as unpredictable as It
Is la the National. ,
-
But Washington and the
Olants wonld make a colorful
world series week. They woa'.d
provide one of those "rare"
naturals in baseball.
It's exactly Bine years since
these leading teams of ths two
major leagues hare met rn any
sort of competition but exhibi
tion. Nine years ago the Wash
ington men won the world
ehamricnsbip from New York.
It was one of baseball's most
thrilling, series final count,
tour games for Washington and
three tor New York.
Ths Giants have not won a
pennant sines l24.'bnt Wash
ington repeated in 1925. The
Senators, however, lost to tae
Pittsburgh Pirates la the world
series play-off.
Professional baseball under
goes a tremendous shuffle la a
very few years. If Washington
and Nsw York meet la October
there will be just a handful at
the men who faced each other
la lit. , , .
la fact, there are enly two
with the Giants and three with
the Senator.
e
Bill Terry, who helped George
Kelly sorer first base tor the
Giants in 1924, now Is manag
ing that outfit, and his leader
ship, s wsU as his batting and
fielding, Is ene of the main
reasons New York is so near
the pennant.
Travis Jackson, bow almost
through as a major league
player, is still with ths Giants
bat he isn't as spry as he was
against Washington at ths last
meeting. His plsce at short
stop hss been filled by a young
er star, Blondy Ryan.
Washington hss Osale Bluege
at third base. Goose Goslin snd
8sm Rice, outfielders, left from
the 1924 team. Its mansger,
Joe Cronin, is comparatively
yoang when you consider the
age of Walter Johnson, who led
the Washington combinstion to
Its pair of American League
titles.
Like Terry for the Olants.
Cronin is chiefly responsible
for the Washington success this
season.

A gentleman named Mark

There mnsl be something la
the mskeup ot a ball player that
sets htm afire with vengeance,
curtains his batting eye with a
piercing ultra-reJ, when he
stalks sack into the home

who once tied the tinware to

him "through.''
John J. McGrsw had one em
barrassing experience of the kind
that stands out above sll others.
Now It's ths turn ot McOrsw's

Cardinals In 192s and bounced
right back to hit three home runs
in one crucial earn at the polo
ground and kuock the Giant
out of that pennant iignt.
With Terry It's ancient Bob
O'Farrell. also of ths Cardinals,
who was sent away last fall with
a bundle ot pitchers In exchange
tor a young catcher, Gus Msn

In addition to coming from be

two of Terry's best pitchers. Bud
