Long famous for its heavy bitters the american league currently boasts of Only two men. Luke Appling of the White sox and Rookie Dick Wakefield of Detroit who Are managing to stay above .300. 9 9 to Mcmillin came out the other Day with a a a beef a gait the army for not allowing its trainees to play intercollegiate football. Mcmillin. Evidently envious of the Navy loaded clubs that face his team each saturday says that the army can to give him one Good reason Why its trainees should not be allowed to play for the hoosiers. When the Yankees cinched the Flag Early this week they set numerous records. It was their third Pennant in a Row and their seventh in the last eight years. In addition it was new Yorkus 14th Pennant which tops All major league efforts since the turn of the Century. For manager Joe Mccarthy now in his 13th Campaign it was his eighth american league Triumph. Mccarthy won the National league Flag with the cubs in 1929, which gives Marse Joe a total of nine pennants. That ties Connie Macks record and leaves the Yankee Maestro Only one behind the All time High of ten racked up by the late John j. Mcgraw. 9 9 latest reports from the states indicate that even the rash no game is packing pm into the Arenas these Days. Sports in general Are enjoying a Boom year Back Home with the horses making the turnstiles really hum. 9 9 during the week the minor leagues wound up All but one playoff with not one Pennant Winner taking a playoff title. Fourth place Syracuse took the International league final from Toronto four games to two with a 2-0 Whitewash Job. Elmira captured the Eastern league playoffs by the same margin with an 8-1 win Over the Pennant winning Scranton miners. Columbus took their third straight american association playoff game beating the Indianapolis indians 2-0, and will meet Syracuse in the Little world series. First place Milwaukee was eliminated in the semifinals. The Pacific coast league playoffs went to second place san Francisco seals. 9 9 if the War lasts another year and it probably will 1944 baseball will hinge almost entirely on what selective service decides to do with fathers. If pops Are called there will be a big drop in major league play. If they Are not the cardinals and the Yankees should remain in full control since they have a big margin in younger Able married players. 9 9 Izzie Kaplan russian born new York sports photographer said the other Day to Ernie Lombardi on the giants Bench a a you re italian ainu to you a Schnotz said  Kaplanis fare lit in a Grin. Extending his hand Izzie said to Lombardi a a Welcome to the  a Cpl. Bill Gilham by by Peterman Philadelphia inquirer sports columnist specie to the stars and stripes it has been brought to the attention of this one time Follower of baseball that the american fall classic sometimes known As the world series is about to resume its annual stand with the usual Road show attached in new York s Yankee stadium. This years world series which for the Benefit of those Cis who prefer Badminton or Lawn Bowling. Is a yearly joust Between the Pennant winning combat teams of the american and National leagues and is aimed mainly at determining which shall receive the five thousand and four thousand Dollar cuts of the Gate receipts. It is something of a repeat performance Over which the More Rabid May console themselves by musing Young ballplayers left them in much better condition they not the yanks should be favored but cd est la Guerre and the Folly of Price makers. Of course a killer Keller with 30 Home runs is still a menace but the Cardinal left handers can Al a Well i won t see it this time but it was probably better the first  As a matter of fact time and the draft Law have combined to change this world series no Little. The cast is different and those who survive Are said to be somewhat tired from the seasons pare a largely a flight from their own shadows since in both american and National leagues yanks and cardinals had not the suggestion of opposition. Underground sources reveal that the betting commissioners patriotic Fellows who tear themselves from the Assembly lines to Burn Midnight candles fixing the Odds on such events have again installed the Yankees As favourites a which shows the Force of habit on human beings. This year the Yankees have been reduced to Charley Keller a couple of pitchers and an old boy named Bill Dickey. The cardinals were also tapped by serial numbers but Branch Rickey a legacy of All the Good Spud Chandler ways walk him after that age and infirmity should do the rest. Nick Etten will hold Down first base with Joe Gordon at second. The Veteran Rasetti at Short and Rookie Bill Johnson at third comprise an Al inner defense. Of Bud Metheny in right Field we know Little while the hoary haired Dickey has lately emerged from the dugout to relieve Ken Sears and Rollie Hemsley As catchers. These May be the yanks but i d insist on introductions. In the matter of pitching they have Spud Chandler Ernie Bonham and Blit Zuber. Charley Wensloff and Hank Borowy like Marius Russo Are possibilities in a season when 15 victories is lots of pitching. The cards on the contrary still look like St. Louis Young brisk and Brash. Last years heroes Walker Cooper and Whitey Kurowski have been spared to baseball by the draft Kurowski by the strange coincidence that one of the strongest throwing arms is nonetheless crooked and Martin Marion still covers plenty of pasture As roving shortstop. Flashy Lou Klein at second has replaced he Veteran Jimmy Brown while Luckiest of All is the Philly fugitive Danny Litwhiler in left Field. One of the walkers first name Harry carries the Torch for Terry Moore and hell have to be something to make us forget the cardinals firebrand of last year. Two game Winner Johnny Beasley is now commissioned with the armed forces but Mort Cooper should shake the Jinx and win a Glamor game before he a retired. Max Lanier Howard Krist and Al Brazle Are three Stout lads supported by such As Ernie White his Arm May be ready and the two harrys Brecheen and gum Bert. Anyone throwing left handed should annoy the yanks so remember the names Lanier White and Brazle. Now having Given the impression i incline to the cardinals although the experts say the yanks Are sure to win let me offer a final suggestion As one who has followed series since the Gay Days of babe Ruth and has seen what happens to published selections pay no attention to what you be just read. Try and discover which team the majority of smart baseball writers pick to win then Rush and bet your Bank and Bedroll on the other. Remember Only that this year Odds and averages done to mean a thing. Age is the item. They be still got to totter round those bases. Football results it saturday.
