GREAT DEFENSE

Nick figures defense is some item
in a seven-game series. That is why
he feels Washington has a great
chance.

In discussing the strength and
weakness of the two clubs and draw-
ing comparisons between rival piny-
ers. Nick always gets back to de-
fcllso when figuring the winner.

"We have the greatest infield ill
the history of baseball,” says Nick.

"Players who can crnsc runs are
almost as valuable as players who
make tllcm. 'l‘hnt infield of ours is
the greatest blotter out. of runs I
have over soon ill action.

“The batting strvllgth of the
Pittsburgh infield may be greater.
but dcfcnslwdy. our margin more
lltan makes up for the difference in
offense.

"In addition Bl‘uego. Prckinpnugll.
Harris and Judge, who comprise our
infield. are far from being weak at
the but.

"All four are noted for being tlnlc-
ly hitters. It is the player who can
get, ills base hits with men on who
is valuable."

All of which proves that ,Altrock
has ills serious moments. that he is
a student as well as baseball's buf-
icon.

Of the Big Three. Yule seems to
be facing the prospect of the most
work. Princeton in Amherst. and
Harvard in Ronsselaer are not apt
to find as brisk a team facing them
as will Yale in Middlebury. a team
which last season made an enviable
reputation for itself nlld lost only
to Harvard.

Not that Yale is regarded as be-

it will have n. bettor workout at the
start than either of tile others. ‘Anl-

game has not been played before.
Secrecy at Harvard.

Probably all three of them will
use most of their substitutes and
there will be opportunity aplenty to
look over what they have in the way
of new stuff this season. .

Harvard will be the most interest-
ing. perhaps because of the mystery
up there which has even its rivals
a bit at sea. No one seems to know
just what Harvard is doing and
Saturday's game will mark the first
time the Crimson has come from
behind its closed doors since spring
practice started.

Not the least interesting opening
will be the one at West Point. De-
troit furnishes the opposition for
the soldiers in their season's star-
ter. Particularly will this be true af-
ter the imposing opening of Notre
Dame last Saturday.

Notre Dame. after losing its first
string and most of its second, seems
to have plenty of power left over.
The feeling is strbng that this year
presents Army with its best chance
of winning the Notre Dame game.

So Army will be watched Satur-
day. particularly in the middle of
the line where the graduation of
Garblscll. h‘arwick and Eliinger left
a. hole. whicn Biff Jones has been
struggling manfully to fill.

Mullins. Wills and Mrs. Wills em-
t-rgod from their drawing room car
beaming and apparently well satis-
fied with their lndmiuna gotiations.
There was quite a mob gathered at
the point where the train came to
anchor ill the Pennsylvania station.
and most of those in the gathering
seemed to be there for the purpose
of "welcoming. the patient Wills
aambian an'tl his party. There ware
also many photographers and many
flashlights. it appeared to be‘ a
somewhat more extensive reception
than either Wills or Mullins had an-
ticipated. All ill all, it was quite a
home-coming and everything might
have gone smoothly had not some
hysterical person in the motley mob
shouted:

“Say it ain't true. Paddy!"

Paddy flicked the dust: of'lthe
Pullman off the sleeve of his coat
and replied:

“Say it ain't true yourself."

Then a. battalion of boxing writers
swarmed about the arriving trio and
somebody asked: \ i'r‘

"Is everything 0. K. Paddy?"

"is everything 0. K.?" countered
