Also made .up my mind to play this winter in the covered court championships in Paris,” Mlle. Lenglen said in an interview. CRACK LOG | ROLLERS TO |CALIFORNIA LOSES BERKELEY, Cal., Sept.

For the second straight time the world’s series will be played in New York. Only an upset can change the outlook. The Manhattan money bags have bought the pen- nants in the major leagues. In the middle of the season the Yankees stepped out and purchased Joe Dugan and Elmer Smith. At the end of the 1921 season they bought Everett Scott, Joe Bush and Sam Jones, The Giants purchased Hugh McQuillan in mid-year Last fall they | _to plug a hole in the pitching staff. ; bought Heinie Groh. | Some inferior players were sent to the two Boston clubs by the Gotham teams and the deals were called trades. The transfer of Groh with Cincinnati was a sale, i But it was the money that turned the transactions. / The St. Louis and Pittsburg teams have been built up | by their clubs at little expense and the fans of the | nation were behind them to win. But the money bags, as expected, will undoubtedly | win out. Then the world’s series won't hold the baseball kick for America that it has in the past. The victory of the New York clubs would be a blow | to baseball. Let the New York club owners stage their world | series, but one of these bright mornings they will wake up to see that the axe of public opinion has knocked the goose that is laying the golden eggs for a goal. ‘New York Teams in Stretch [Giants and Yanks Closing in on Second Straight Major Flags BY HENRY LL.

Incidentally he was ® great man to have around to finish games Douglas won 15 starts, Hin deceptive spitball also made him an idea) pitcher to fintsh @ game when some pitcher faltered. been forced to go ‘along without these pitchers # greater part of the season. Toney, from the start, was of little or no une. Dougiag pitched remarkable ball In spots, Artie Nehf, McGraw's great little southpaw, has continued his winning ways. However, to bolster up the rest of the staff, McGraw has resorted to all kinds of trades and sales. Good work by Ryan, who scarcely was listed as & regular last season, has helped. The purchase of Me Quillan from Boston also was a master stroke. In dire extremity MeGraw even resurrected John Sectt, released by Cincinnati because it was believed a bad arm had ended his pitching éays for all time. If the Giants represent the Na onal league in the world series this fall pitching will be the big issue with McGraw. It has been his big woe all season. I have umpired in a half dozen world series and been a spectator at as many more. In all that time I have never seen better twirling than that delivered by Phil Douglas last fall, In making such a statement I am taking into consideration the re markabke feats of Mathews Brown, Adams, Faber, Bender, Pionk and many other stars of olden days, Dougias certainly was McGraw’s ace in the clash of last year. will be greatly missed if the Giants win the right to play in the 1922 event. If you have your doubts as to Douglas’ work last fall just confer with any member of the New York Yankees. ‘They all have a whole some regard for his prowess, The big mountaineer worked three great games against the Yankees, one a defeat, two of them victories. He was the man who saved the day for the Giants when the Yankees were riding high. Pitching has been, and atill ts, McGrow's big problem. It is a diffi cult matter to compute what the loss of Douglas means to the Giants. KID WOLFE. OUTPOINTS JOE.
