How different the series will be from that staged by the same club in the Hub in 1924. Then the Nationals went into zction there on September 26 two games ahead of the Yankces and were repulsed by the humble Red Sox while their main rivals triumphed. Conditions were reversed the next day, however, and after a Sunday lav-off Bucky Harris and Co. stepped out on September 29 to clinch the flag This year with the pennant in haid several days, the series with the Red Sox will be merely a test for the band of rookies recently brought into the National fold. A sprinkling of veterans will be found in the linc-up, but most of the assignments n the quartet of tilts will go to the recruits.

All through the Sum- mer months John's silver hair was blistered by the scorching sun. It was on a bet—one that may go down in the unwritten history of the ring game—and now John is wearing head- gear again and laughing merrily at the wise ones who scoffed at his judgment. Here's how it happened: Last Winter, when Eddle Cannon- | hall Martin won the bantam crown from Abe Goldstein, John pooh- poohed their efforts and said he had a youngster who could lick the win- ner. The know-it-alls pooh-poohed back. “I won't wear my hat again until T make that prediction good,” said O'Brien. He kept his word. John's chance was long in eoming. Martin, in the meantime, lost his title to Phil Rosenberg and retired from active service until such a time as he thought himself fit again to go after his lost laurels. A return go with Rosenberg, who was laid up with a broken head, was out of the question. ¥ Then the Cannonball learned .of O'Brien's vow and offered him a sporting chance to make it good. The beloved derby, packed away in moth balls, was a poignant incentive. John produced his protege, Lou Perfetti, a little flyweight of class, and the match was made. The fight is now ring history, and Perfetti did everything his patron said he could 4o, licking Martin to a fare-thee-well.

Bucky Harris is relving upon his two great right-handers, the veteran Stanley Coveleskie and Walter Johnson, to dozen experienced men Aldridge. Meadows, Kramer and Yde have been the Pirate mainstays | throughout the season and likely also will be the first called on in the series. but the veteran Babe Adams and Johnny Morrison also figure strongly in Pittsburgh calculations Much depends upon the condition of Johnson's arm, which has been out of kilter once or twice this season, but if the “Big Train’’ is at his best, many eritics believe Washington's two-star defense in the box will be sufficient to | give the Senators a winning margin. These experts fizure that Johnson and Coveleskie will work in four of the first six games, with three-day intervals for rest Realizing the fondness of the Pir- ates for southpaw offerings. Manager Bucky Harris does not plan to use his star portsider, Dutch Ruether, un- less his right-handers fail. To back up Johnson and Coveleski he has Alex Ferguson, acquired during the season from Boston, and, if his arm is right, Fred Marberry whose main duties are to check any leaks that de- velop in tthe pitching dikes. Zach- ary, who won two games against the Giants last Fall, has been far from his best this season and probably will | see little, if any, series action. “Specks” Meadows, a veteran of long experience, and Emil Yde, clev- er young southpaw, may be the main choice of the Pirates for mound work. Meadows has been consistent, but Yde, the National League's leading pitcher in 1924, started the present season poorly and was withdrawn from several games. Of late he has improved himself, and, if right, will prove a powerful boxman. There is a bit of sentiment attached to the entrance of Babe Admas into the series, for his sensational pitching accounted for three conquests. and gave the Pirates victory over Detroit in their last championship appearance, in 1909. : Although his service has not been continuous, Adams first joined the Dirates in 1907. the same vear in RACES TODAY —AT— Havre de Grace SEVEN' RtACES DAILY e 0. train of lenves.
