and consequently man bound to stand
out in such an important series. He
IS the fastest catcher playing and a
dangerous, deadly hitter. For in
dividual skill McGraw cannot match
him. And McGraw has three great
catchers in Frank Snyder, Mike Con
zaleS and Earl Smith.
When all is said and done, pitching
IS just about so per cent of the battle,
especially the worlds series battles.
Here comes the rub, for nobody knows
what either side will do in this line.
With stout pitching either Of our local
entries would have cake walked home
before Labor Day. Yet within the past
short spell both stats have effected a
wonderful transformation, if not
TRANSPORTATION. 1t was this change of
heart on the part of his pitchers which
enabled McGraw to overcome Pitts
burgh's lead of seven and q half games.
Douglas McGraw's Best Bet
McGraw in all probability will de-
pend upon Fred Toney, Phil Douglas
and Artic Nehf to carry the pitching
burden. Nehf is a left-hander liable
to bother the Yankees no little. but a
southpaw who will require plenty Of
rest between games. Toney and Doug
las are Giants capable of "iron men"
stunts. Douglas is fine spitbaIl
pitcher, and the Yankees are not fond
OF spit, as witness one Urban Shocker
believe Douglas McGraw's best bet
The pitching outlook for the Yankees
week ago was glum, indeed. One Of
the biggest aces, Bob Shawkey, was
away off color in several games. He came
back with vengeance in Philadelphia
Thursday, and will be ready for the
battle of his life when the real test
comes But the big ace Of the Hug
gins staff undoubtedly will be called
upon to shoulder the main burden.
This is Carl Mays, of the under handed
delivery. He is the leading pitcher of
the American League. There is no one
of his particular style in the National
League. 1T is almost impossible for
any team to beat Carl Mays first out.
Waite Hoyt, the Brooklyn high
school kid, Is crackerjack for his
years, and when right (if the serious
ness of the occasion does not fluster
him) capable of giving the best argu-
mcnt to the very last out. Higgins
also has the old veteran spitballer,
Jack Quinn. for emergency duty, not
to mention Harry Harper, as fine a
southpaW as they come when he has
control.
We see, then, that luck--if you wish
to call 1t so---or, perhaps better, gen
eralship, is going to go long way in
determining the ultimate outcome Of

in Pitching of Carl Mays
BY Babe" Ruth
The Man O. War of Baseball


The Yankees will win the worlds
series because they have the punch to
do it. American League pitching is
better than National League pitching,
and the Giant pitching is not the best
in the National League by any means.
They snss the Giants will show US up
on the bases. Well, we do not have to
be good base runners. We knock the
ball out of the park and simply jog
around. No club that has ever batted
against Carl Mays can make any i'm
preston on him, and so I figure we have
there wonderful advantage.
McGraw can show US nothing in the
line of pitching to which we have not
been accustomed. Pitching is more
than half the battle, and with the re-
turn to form Of Bob Shawkey we have
little to fear. Waite Hoyt is one of tho
best youngsters have ever seen, and a
lad bound to hold his head in every
crisis. Harry Harper, when he has
control, is simply unbeatable. The vet
eran Jack Quinn is as fine a spitball
pitcher as Douglas. He has rested up
long while and will be ready.
expect no easy tims with the Giants.
The National League champions, like
ourselves, have been through tough
fight, and will battle every inch of the
way. But I am sure we will win. If I
have to eat crow I'll acknowledge tho
Giants the strongest entry the Ma
tional League has sent out to worlds
series since the heyday of the wonder

Giants Pitchers Equal
To Task, Says Bancroft
By Dave Bancroft
Captain Of the Giants

If we are to beat the Yankees we
will have to turn much of our effort
toward stopping the powerful hitting
of Babe Ruth and Bob Meuscl. If our
pitchers display the form in the COM
ing series that they showed during the
latter part of the regular season feel
confident that we will win the series.
The morale Of the Giants is excel
lent The players are all working hard
and are keeping themselves in the best
of physical condition.
McGraw has performed wonderful
feat in rounding our pitchers into
shape, and believe that our success or
failure in the worlds series will de-
pend to great extent on their work
believe our pitchers are superior to
those of the Yankees. 1t seems logical
to me that if our pitchers can stop the
smuggling Cardinals they will be able to
hold Higgins. players in check.

believe that the struggle. will be a
from the outset, but I am quite conf
dent that the Yankees will win.
The triumph of the Yankees in one
of the keenest pennant races the league
has ever known was also personal
triumph Tor their manager, Miller
Higgins. Handicapped by lack of CO.
operation and unjust and bitter crti-
cism of his methods, he has brought
his team to the fore with flying colors
The success of Higgins against ire

tremendous asset in close game.
lt has always been my experience
IN the worlds series of the past that
the team that has been able to closely
approach its normal game-that is to
say, the form that it displayed during
the championship season-has invari-
ably been the winner.
In my opinion the National League
race this season has been one of the
ceanest and most keenly contested
struggles in many years. The man
ayers of the various clubs put forth
their best efforts against the contend
ing teams and this factor has made
the recent pennant race one of the
most exciting in history

The best we have we'll be prepared

was long, hard fight, but we all came
through triumphant If little worn.
Babe Ruth is one of our greatest
assets and he will be at his best at
the Polo Grounds, where he has hit so
many of his record breaking home
runs. We were all somewhat worried
over our pitchers short time back.
There seems no occasion for worry
now.
Bob Shawkey has come back with all
his cunning. Such an asset is meal
culable. Carl Mays. the best pitcher
in the American League, will give our
rivals plenty of trouble. Waite Hoyt
is the best kid pitcher in captivity.
We are as strong as the enemy in
every department outside the battery
positions, and there, think, we have
it on the Giants. I am making no pre-
dictons, but only the lions share of
