But he not only smites his foes; he also helps his friends. Liberals who furnish the column with tips are celebrated as outstanding statesmen.

Stocked with castoffs, minor leaguers and even non-Canadians (four Americans, one Scot, one Pole), the new West Division teams in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Los Angeles and Oakland could hardly be expected to furnish much competition for the established East Division clubs. And when they were slaughtered by scores of say 15-0, who would come out to see them play?
