majority favor Shore.
George Foster-One Of the small
est and most effective pitchers in the
American League this season. Much
Of the Red Sox success this season
has been due to this diminutive
mound man. He has worked in 80
odd games Of which he has won 20.
Practically certain he will face the
Phils in one or more OF the battles.
Ernie Shore-One Of latest pitch
ing finds, and a good one. Shore
came up from the old Baltimore club
when Jack Dunn sold out, and won
a regular berth right away. He has
been one Of Carrigan's premier pitch
ers this season, and Is favored in
some quarters to pitch the opener.
This year he won about 20 games.
His 10 defeat OF Detroit in that IL
inning tussle in which the Red sox
really won the pennant will long he
