JlTIHE outstanding feature of the sciics is the ganicncss shown b thr National

Jnot know what to cxpcit next. Onee .lake Daubert, who was expected to
"f'bunt, soaked a three-bagger, and little things like that will disconcert nil)
jr- ball club. The Sox are up in the air and will break all existing altitude

But, taking it all in nil, Cincinnati has played better baseball, showed
more knowledge of the game and pla.ved everything safe. They have the
animals of the So sluggers and know how to pitch to them, llddie Collins
' virtually has been helpless, and lie was expected to do big things with the
stick. Because of being called upon to sacrifice constantly, llnp FeKeh is
losing his nerve and Gandil has failed in a piuch every time but one. Weaver

"Sroodies," whose last handle is
Ueinfeldt, was disappointed. Every
body in Philadelphia's fistiedom knows
"Scoodles." This chnraeter of local
pugilism is keeping company with
I,cv Tendler on the southpaw's west
ern invasion. When the blushing
tiaiuer started for the other side of the
Mississippi, carrying his own and
Tendler's luggage, he was all prepared
for a pleasant or displensnnt mectiug
with long-mouhtached, sonihiero-topped
"bad men," wild-ioving Indians and
whooping cowboys. Hut it was not to
be so. Hence "Pioodles' " disappoint
ment.
Tendler and "Scoodles" arrived in
Denver last Sunday afternoon. At the
Stockyards' stadium In that city Friday
night Tendler is to pry off the lid of
his two months tour in the West in n
ten-rounder against Soakum Yoakum.
Among those present on the platform to
meet tho pair of Philadelphians was
"Kick" Kickctson, of the Denver Post,
but "Scoodles" looked in vain for "bad
men," et al. Here's what Mr. Kicket
toii writes:

While the guests were sippiug their
one lialf-of-one per cent and looking nt
their neighbors to sec if they were
bayoneting their food with the proper
weapon, a long list or speakers laid
down a verbal barrage ot praise that
would have made Jack blush if he were
the blushing kind. Incidentally, the
praiso that was heaped upon the famous
sculler did not tell half of what he
really has accomplished.
This season Jack has sat in ten win-

won more races for Vesper than he has

many victories. This is true. There
have been other oarsmen who were
more powerful but who never attained
the success that the Vesperinn has
reached. Of course, Jack has the ability
but more than mechanical ability 1b
needed in a boat race. Jack Is a fighter.

the courage to use every ounce of his

In the above list of orators is the

brother, "The Virginia Judge," who is
ou the vaudeville stage. "The Judge"
is a noted nfter-dinner speaker nud en

at that. Jack is u great story teller
and haB a "line" that always makes
him the center of attraction at every

by any of the members of the Berry

twins, Jack Kelly and Bill Thielenti,
entertain Sunday evenings. Bill is also
a gieat athlete (.Mexican).

By TAUL PREP
Central High nnd West Philadelphia
High each scut a .".", without the pre
ceding .'J, through the lid of its football
schedule last week. Both won their
games, but the wins didn't mean any
thing, except that players, coaches and
student bodies were highly elated with
victorious openings.
The Crimson and Gold victory was
expected, and, of course, predicted, al
though it had been believed that Cath
olic High would have given the Central
eleven b much closer conflict. In ref
erence to the Speedboys, their 10-0
count over Lower Merion was even a
bigger surprise, from a scoring stand
point. All of which gives us a story. Will
West Philadelphia High be able to dis
possess Central High from the Scho
lastic league football pinnacle? Speed
boy constituents hay, "Oui. oui!" They
wouldn't be Spccdboy constituents if
they didn't.
Was Riinner-Up
West Phllly was the runner-up to
Central High last year in tho grid gal
omiration for the Ellis A. Gimbel tro
phy, which the Broad nnd Oreen streets
boys want to keep ngain this year. That
is natural, but they'll have to Bhow a
better football average in games with
and against the Speedboys, Northeast
High, South Philly High. Frankford
High nnd Cermantown High before
Central will be permitted to boast of
the cup's possession.
South Philly, since winning the
championship in 1010; Frankford nnd
Germantown have never been taken
seriously as contenders for the much
coveted cup. They have good teams an
nually, but not good enough to cope
successfully with Northeast, Ccntrnl
and West Philly. So that simmers the,
probable winner down to one ot three
elevens the last thrco named in the
preceding sentence.
Northeast Quality Unknown
Northeast High's football quantity is
an unknown quality, for the simple
reason that tho Archives eleven hasn't
won n game this year yet because it
hasn't played.
West Philly and Central High both
have good teams for the simple fact
nnd reason that they proved it last
week. But it wasn't, nor could it be,
proved whether Central is better thau
West Philly or vice versa.
So the Interscholastie League i sea
son, which starts next Friday with a
game between West Philly nnd Frank
ford High, must go on. The champion
ship cannot be conceded jet.

Babe Ruth and Next Year
"WHAT nln Babe Ru'h do in a 151-game schedule?" asks a reader. The
'" cnd of next season is now twelve months away, and at "no man caa
tell what n day may bring forth," outlining what a year will brine forth is
even more of a haiardoua guess.
With 151 games to shoot nt this season Ruth would almost certainly have
risen to thirty-flvo home runs. This is the first time that Ruth ever had the
chance to figure in ns many as 100 games. His average was close to a home
run for every four nnd a hnlf games. On this season's form, by 1020, with
154 games in which to wavo his magic mace, he might well finish around
thirty. five. But home-run hitting Is, on art or a science that doesn't always
follow the past performance chart.
AS TUB greatest home-run hitter that ever lived and still in hit
early prime, Ruth is sure 'to lead the field again in this merry
pastinie. There isn't any one else who is even close.
