When he went to work last Monday the grounds were studded with atakes and poles and littered with junk left in the wake of the State fair.

A man who tops the field in benefit that nothing else can give him. the best of the lot in a world series, he must be far above the ordinary, and this new confidence is going to help him reach a position he could not otherwise attain. The world series stars are always on the winning team: it is often the losing side that has the better plaver. He deserves greater honor, for the decision in a_ world series depends much on the breaks: the team that gets them wins. So A player who stars on a losing team has that much more credit coming to him because he rises’to super. heights with things hreaking agains him. Most any one can go w Il when the breaks are coming his way World Series “Goat." There are many men who were #hining lights in one series and failed in another. Others falled in one serfes and then delivered in another. “Red" Murray, an outfielder for the New York Giants, was a world series “‘goat” several vears ago. Murray then got Into another series and wax one of the real stars, “Babe” Ruth was u dismal failure against the New York Giants in the world series of 1921 and 1922, Before the series started Ruth was the hero of Broadway: after it ended he was the laugh of Broadway. In the lan- guage of the Great White Way, thé Babe” was a “complete bust.” but Ruth turned the laugh on his crities in the world serfes of 1923, obtaining complete ravenge. He was the big hero of that series #nd did more than anybody else 1o heat the Giants. who had licked the Yankees two years running. chiefly hecause Ruth falled when the big test came. In 1914 the Boston Braves cut the world serles to four games. They heat the Philadelphia Athletics four times in a row and ended the series. 1t was one of the most remarkable .base ball upsets of all time, and the hero of the series was Hank Gowdy, catcher for the Braves. Gowdy got another chance in 1924 when he caught for the Giants againat ‘Washington, and he did little. In the last game of the series Gowdy gave Washington a chance to win the game and title wheu he missed an easy foul fiy because his mask got tangled up with his foot, one of the moat unusual errors T have ever witnessed. To my mind the greatest world seriex performer of all time is . Frankie Frisch. Few siars that got inte more than one world series per- | formed up 1o a high standard each time, but Frisch é¢id. He participated in four successive world serien—three azainst New York and one against Washington —and he never hatted un- L300 in a ser for 400 nr hetter. He made 37 safe hits in 102 times at bat, totaling 48 bases. His average for the four world series was .363. Also Fields Strongly. Bexides _hitting remarkably well, Frisch featured each series with bril- Jtant fielding and base running. 1 re- call two spectacular catches that he made in ome game agalnst Washing- ton.

She used it vesterday in two singles matches, which she won with ease. The service is made with less speed than her usual first offering, but it causes the ball to take a twisting bounce and her opponent to reach to the extreme outside on the forehand. When the ball is returned it generally reaches the net or just into the court for a prompt smash to kill. With it Helen made 10 service aces yesterday.

That would place him second to Harry Burtner and ahead of Arthur Urban. Bowling with the Potomac Lodge team, J. Ulrich was credited with a count of 342.
