It is quite apparent that the tee

believe that most world series
are decided more by bases on balls
and by errors than by clean hitting.
And they are decided more by bases
on balls than BY errors. You wiz
find that In five OF the six games
played In the series OF 1918. a base
on balls started tho innings In which
the deciding runs were scored.
This brings Va 10 the question OF
pitching. and pitching In a short
