'WORLD SERIES, 'BASEBALL DOPE, RIGHT FROM N Y. M(-Carthy'sr Ch;nce to Win Three in Row Peps Up ‘Prseent Games Everybody knows that the World Series is now being played. ‘Here is a little pre-season dope appearing recently in a 'New York newspaper ind written by Joe Williams, that is interesting to all fans: McGraw couldn't do it.

First McGraw, hext MeGillicuddy, now McCarthy. Odd- ly, all Irishers. From all indlcations; the ap- proaching world series is going to need a shot in the arm.

Winning “three successive ‘league championships 1s difficult enough; | topping each of the three off with| l'a world series triumph is obviously | more difficult. That elusive and not easily identified "force called the law | of averages seems to operate against the third straight success. This is the ‘fotce McCarthy will ‘have ‘to conquer; it is the same force that flattened McGraw, stiffened McGil- licuddy. If McCarthy fails to conquer it, it will be years before any other man- ager shatters the precedent. The stage ‘was never more invitingly set for success.

He walked around the ba and climaxed it by thumbing 1 nose at Sad Sam Jones, the ¥ar pitcher. At the moment M#, Jon was very sad, indeed, too. I Nobody realized it at the time, but this was the end of the Giants. They lost the next three. The Yan- kees started hitting McGraw's pitchers all over the premises.
