Meadows {8 no youngster, as he is 31, but right now is at the top of his game. His work fell off a little late fn the season, but all pitchers have their little let-downs, and there 1s no reason why Meadows should not be in top-notch form for the series. If Johnny Morrison is in shape, think he has as good a chance to beat Washington as any one of McKech- nie’s pitchers. He is a curve-balt artist, and should be to fool & team which is not familiar with the breaks he can get on the ball. Washington, however, is an especially smart club in sizing up a pitcher. Aldridge, at times, has shown the stuff of an Aléxandér, but he only reaches his major effectiveness ever so often. He is a pitcher who can go very strong for six, séven or even eight innings, but often the ninth {s an insurmountable barrier. Kremer is & fairly reliable pitcher, but I doubt whether he would hold up in_world series competition. Washington has the best relief pitcher In either léague in Fred Ma berry, n fellow who has been of in- valuable service to GriMith and Harris in the winning of the pennants of 1924 and 1928. He hurt his arm in late August, perhaps the result of overwork, but he again {s in good shape. Ferguson, the former Yank and Red Sox, has a lot of stuff, but is bothered with poor control.

Special Dispatch to The Siar. 2 EATTLE, Wash., September 30-~One of the interes the writer had in mind to ask foot ball folk of the Northwest con- cerned the effect of climatic conditions upon their teams when they g points which journeyed to gridirons down in California. t is, of course, known that all Eastern elevens that have played in California, with the exgevlon of the Navy, which found favorabl conditions when it met V cool ashington, have testified as to the debilitating effects of the unaccustomed warm weather when they dip into it from the wintry East. How does this appl to the northwestern members of the Pacific Coast Conference? Are they, too, affected by the climate? Or is it found to be negligible? University of Washington foot ball authorities are one in saying that they, too, find the warm weather de- Eu-lns in the effect upon the men. ore so at Stanford and Los Angele: than at Berkeley. The ocean breeze may-—and often does—temper the weather prevafling in the vicinity of the University of California jum. But when it does not, then the north- Westerners are in no better casé than Eastern teams that come to Los An- geles, Berkeley, Pasadena or Palo Alto for post-season contests. Falls Into Line. Up at the University of Idaho, Mathews, the coach, claimed that the climate need have no efféct upon foot ball players, and he promised that when he had an eleéven to his liking he would go down to Los Angeles and prove it. Last year he had such & m and took it down to the Uni- versity of Southern California. It did not fare well against the University of Southern California for various rea- sons, that of ¢limate being one. Now Mathews is one of the foremost in de- claring that it can't be done. He now believes the climate change is an insunerable obatacle to the best foot ball that i{s in a Northern team to play. On the contrary, when the Califor- nia teams come, say to Seattle to play, they find the cooler conditiors tonic, bracing, exhflirating. Used to playing In warm weather, they none the less fairly revel in the cooler atmosphere. But since games alternate among the important elevens of the Pacific Coaust Conference, the matter of cli- mate is not so very important, and the journey is looked forward to with eagerness.
