D—2 Cards’ Co SEES A'S BATTLING MOST WORTHY FOE Street Great Manager, Says! Mack Coach Due to Start in American League. S BY EDDIE COLLIN ,, Captain of the Athletic.. T. LOUIS, September 30—/ After both league races were decided and we could sit back and look over our world | series’ opponents, the St. Louis Cardinals, a quality first notice- able to me was their consistency. | If one analyzes the play of the 16 teams in the major leagues in 1931, it will be seen that the Car- dinals have been the smoothest, most even, most consistent. There is only one answer to this. They must be the class of the National League. Not until the last week of the sea- son did the Athletics know who would be their opponents in the 1930 world series. As we went on our final Western | trip it looked one day as if they would be the Cubs, then Brooklyn, next the Giants, until finally the Caids nosed in under the wire a winner. | So there was plenty of doubt last year about the Cards’ superiority. But there is none now. They have demon- strated that they are the cream of their league. Cards’ Steadiness Marked. St. Louis accomplished this second successive National League yin by con- sistent, steady play from start to finish. The club ln;‘h’l': r:‘l:na‘-;\e glw‘l'fl.u rrq: at least six staff, and offense anc d:tem have never failed. No extended winning streaks have marked the Cards' play, but I believe that only once all nmn‘:w uuy'hun many as three gemes in succession. ‘While I did not see them play a sin- gle league game, I judge from accounts of their work that mo individual stood out particularly. 1 am sure Frankie Prisch, Jim Bottomley, Chick Hafey and Jimmy Wilson have all had bigger years, so far as ststistics go, than their Tecords for 1931 show. But the team won the league pen- nant more decisively than any other Leagu in years. How They're a great manager in w» his players. He ought to be. y .

PUSISHSE 2008 DOR-A CLAIMS TITLE CLIBTOWN NG ORTTUSSLES Not a Weak Cog in Machine Is Belief of National Leaguers’ Captain. BY FRANKIE FRISCH, o, 3 RS Do 202, Lown T. LOUIS, September 30.— The Cardinals will win this world series in six or seven games. The Athletics beat us last year in six starts, but I be- lieve we will turn the tables on them this time. I base my confidence on the marked improvement of the Car- dinals since 1930. The. National League race showed plainly how we improved, for we had this year’s pennant pretty well sewed up for almost two months. Last |Boswell season, coming from behind, we did not clinch the title until the last few days. I believe we have one of the best balanced clubs of all time. There's not a weak cog in the machine and this Cardinal team really $s a ma- chine. It became so0 when Sparky of the WINS PIGEON CONTES Thomas-Chndada Leoft Is First im Flight From Roanoke.
