Excitement Too Intense.
The answer is that there's lot % dif-

a world series affair. So much IS at sta ks ~
such game. The excitement Is intense The
crowds. with their believing cheers. tend
TO frighten a young pitcher who is mazing.

his temperament is such that he can be cool
and steady under all Circumstances. he is
liable TO ''crack'-liable 10 explode 1t q
critical moment.
Braves Used to Crisis
Some may take the position that the
Braves twir.ers-Rudolph. James and Iy-
ler-never have been under world series fire
and they are Just as liable 90 crack as are
the Athletic youngsters. It's true the Bos-
ton trio hasn't mingled in a world series
but they we been through some games dur
Ing the past six weeks that have been IS
trying as those Of the world series.
Every one OF the games in which the Bcs-
ton trio has figured since the Braves start
ed their sprint, has been as crucial. IN thelr
minds as a world series game There was
in each game a nervous tension. an excite
ment and a strain that is equal to that
which they viii face in a world series game.
Every game meant almost as much 20 them
as a world series victory It meant their
chance to get into the world series. A bit
OF wobbly pitching here and there and their
pennant hopes would have vanished.
Had to Pitch ShutOut Ball.
But that great Boston trio stood up under
the test Day after day they battled the
enemy. and day after day they pitched Won
derful games They had no clubbing team
behind them. They couldn't afford TO spot
the opposition two or three runs a game
during the early part OF their squirt They
had to pitch shutOut bail to win many OF
their games. And they pitched shutout pail.
During the world series. a pitcher Is
called upon only twice or three times at the
most James. Tyler and Rudolph have been
called upon a dozen times each during the
last two months And they have delivered.
What they would face in a world series
would be no greater test on their nerves
than what they have been facing FOR two
months. So. although they never have en-
gagged in a world series battle. they have
had sufficient experience in gruelling bat
ties during the last two months 10 fit chem
fro what they have TO face in a world series.
