thtCONCERNING THE WORLD
SERIES
y. Before the curtain has been drawn
on the 1929 baseball season, let us
' look at the greatest clash of the year
the world series. This year the
strife will be between Philadelphia
in the American League and Chicago
in the National League. These teams
’ are better known to baseball fans
y as the A’s and theCubs.
This should be the greatest series
ever played, as the teams are evenly
matched in that they each have a
'J'- great pitching statf, good fielders, a
hard-hitting crew.
The opinion of the fans around
Mars Hill seems to favor the Cubs.
S But this is by no great margin as the
A’s have plenty of supporters.
The weater permitting, some of the
best baseball seen in the world series
^ I for many a year should be produced.
This series should be different from
recent world series because it brings
’ “' together two teams which won their
, pennants far enough in advance of
the closing day to get thoroughly
'””1 rested and prepared for a mighty ef-
‘ fort in the big game. If both teams
■ are at the top of the batting, pitch-
ing, and fielding form they displayed
during the entire season, this series
should go the seven-game limit.
The fact that Mack’s best pitchers
are left-handers and that Chicago
consists almost entirely of right-hand-
, ed batters is an edge for McCarthy’s
Cubs. In view of the class of the
Philadelphia southpaws and a slightly
^ better Athletic defense, howeVer, this
margin should be negligible.
The writer picks the Athletics to
win in a seven-game contest. Pitching
strength should more than neutralize
* . the shade the Cubs have in hitting
power. The Cubs have not faced a
. pitching staff of the strength of the
Philadelphia slingers. The American
League found Grove, Earnshaw,
Quinn, and Walberg hard to solve
first until near the last of the game.
Camnetz began to hurl accurate
passes to the two ends and Mars Hill
rapidly completed seven forward
will be held. Many aspirants are
awaiting their try at lacing the ball.
Men who are back this year who won
minor letters in tennis last year are
Edgerton and Dale. This leaves plen
ty of room or new stars to shine.

were grounded. Chiles recovered a
fumble as the game ended.
The game was clean and hard
fought, there being but few penalties
on either side. Mars Hill was penal
ized fifteen yards for holding and
Tusculum half the distance to the
goal for unnecessary roughness.
Mars Hills completed seven for
ward passes, Tusculum none. Mars
Hill made ten first downs and gained
upward of three hundred yards from
passes and runs. Tusculum made
eight first downs and gained nearly
two hundred yards from scrimmage.
The punting was about equal with
the edge going to Tusculum.

Although the Mountain Lions were
defeated last Saturday, they certainly
showed up much better this year than
last. If you recall last year’ score

missed the ever-fighting spirit of An

second week of scrimmage, he receiw

backfield has been minus a stellar

The Mars Hill Mountain Lions lost
to the Fast Milligan eleven Saturday
a game that was not only bril
liantly played but closely contested
every inch of the way. The Lions
lost, 13-6, but not without grace. It
the first time a foreign team
had crossed the opponents goal on
their home gridiron in four years.
The local boys put up a snappy
brand of ball. The characteristic
fighting spirit of the Lions was pre
valent throughout the game. They
stubbornly contested every inch of
the way, and though they lost it was
said to be one of the most colorful
and best played games seen in the
Erwin section in years.
Individual stars on the Lion team
could not very well be picked out, if
credit is given to the team, as it
should, for the entire squad worked
persistently to a man.

The following is his speech: “If the

been ran, or if the bell had been rung
as it should have been rang, or if the
whistle had been blown as it should
have been blown, both of which did
neither, the cow would not have been
injured when she was killed.”

lontl urday at Greenville. It was a great
battle between two well-matched
teams and represented the first ser
ious test of strength of the two
teams.
The Pioneers scored early after
sensational runs by Moreno and Car
bone had advanced the ball to the fif
teen-yard line. A series of line bucks
and a fast end run by Moreno com
pleted the score. The extra point
came on an attempted line buck. Tus
culum fumbled but Moreno fell on
the ball for the point.
Immediately after the kickoff Mars
Hill opened up a terrific line attack
that swept the Pioneers off their feet.
Four successive first downs put the
Lions in a scoring position but a fum
ble gummed the chances, and Moreno
nunted out of danger. Again Mars
wSill swept down the field and again
llviqmbled to prevent a score. The half
jcratied with the score the same. The
