Lane will come into his own tomorrow when “Billy Lane” day York Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals. ; will be celebrated at the Rainier valley orchard. . These two clubs outclass the field. One or the other is almost certain to represent the National league in the world series. If the St. Louis Cardinals win the pennant it will be a great tribute to the managerial ability of Branch Rickey. Unquestionably the Cardinals present one of the most unusual collection of players that ever contended for a major league pennant. The battle between the Giants and the Cardinals down the home stretch will offer a most unusual situation The Giants are one of the highest-| priced aggregations in the history of the game, the Cardinals one of tho} cheapest. It cost Manager McGraw of the New York club a pretty penny to gath- er together his world champions. It cost Manager Rickey, of St. Louis, little or nothing to build up the Cardinals. Tt is a peculiar outfit, the St. Louis Cardinals. Some of the players who are now star- ring were pronounced as thru years ago, Not a \ player on the club was purchased at a) fancy price.
