BIG PITCHERS
HAVE COLLAPSED
Preseason Predictions Of Winners IN
Major League Races Were
Based on Quality OF
Huriers.

| NEW YORK, June 24.-Basebalfs
nnheaval Of form this season has pro
duced no more startling reversal than
the collapse Of the pitching strength
Preseason prediction OF the win
iners in the major league races were
based largely upon the size and
onalitv of the various hurting STATS.
With five pitchers, Reuther, Saliee,
F1sher. Eller and Ring, who ranked
IN the first ten last season, Pat Moran
was the unanimous choice 30 repeat
with his champion Reds.
The Giants. rated as sure con
tender around the circuit, drew con-
sideration through the possession OF
Ave sterling performers, Toney, Doug
las Barnes. Nehf and Benton.
But of Moran's quintet OF mound
aces only Reuther and Ring have de-
IIiyered and the Reds are just hang
ing to the top.
The whole New York staff col
'lapsed and the Giants, handicapped
further by a sad infeld, are down
near the bottom.
The Brooklyn Dodgers came up
from the Jacksonville training camp
with the best staff in the league.
Pfefer, Grimes, Smith, Galore ana
Marouard pitched Uncle Robbys ciuo
right to the top. When they cracked,
the team cracked.
The Cubs, in marked contrast, are
close to the top through the work or
staff that the critics said would
never do. Mitchell had good pitch
ers, but not enough OF them, they
said
Grover Alexander and Jim Vaughn,
outside of Reuther, are the only
pitchers ia the league running Tue
to old form. Tyler and Hendrix were
rated doubtful and they have been.
While not hit as hard as the Ma
tional league, the epidemic Of bad
pitching spread to the American
league.
Coveleskie, Bagby Caldwell, VIII
liams, Shawkey and Quinn, members
of last years upper society, are still
mingling with the elite, but Walter
Johnson, Uhle, Dick Kerr, Ctcotre
and sothoron have Topped down with
the ordinaries.
Numerous reasons were attributed
for the cause of the reversals. The
lively ball and the new pitching rules
are the most popular theories.
