Whether the Pirates can retain
their slender margin over the Giants

There is feeling in National League

Pittsburgh's pitchers are good this
year. Cooper. next to Nehf. is the
most successful left-hander in the
majors. Glazner has as good a first
year record as there is. Adams tops
the list. Nor does he top it by luck,
but because he has been pitching the
best ball in the National League. If
he were strong enough to undertake
more games he would lead by high
er margin than he does.
The least successful of the Pitts
burgh pitchers, in proportion to the
times he has tried to win. is Hamil-

f1nisher. If he were, instead of hav-
