weaknesses and fine money player,
but the Giants do not hesitate TO say
that they will beat him, and any
time a team feels that way about It.
pitcher is in for careWorn after
noon. Hitting is nothing more than
psychology and a good eye.
Barnes Is a curVe-ball artist. This
Is a type that will stop the Yanks
anytime the curve Is breaking right.
The noble clan of Huggins will climb
laboriously aboard the best fast ball
pitcher in the land one day and the
next 1t will fold right up before some
kid with a foolish looking curve.
This is the edge that Barnes enjoys
before he starts. irrespective Of the
psychological advantage of having
bowled over the same team last year.
The cruX of the entire situation
revolves around Barnes. II he can
win today impressively, the Giants
never will be headed. Nehf, who had
a sharper break on his slow ball yes
terday than this writer ever saw him
get before, is certain to come back
with a fine performance his next
! time out, and should Barnes exercise
the same mastery over the Yanks AS
| he did in the 1921 series. the thing
| is absolutely certain. On other hand.
be through for the duration of the
series, unless ne is used as a relief
pitcher. In that case II will be
strictly up to Scott and McQuillan,
for Nehf has only one more game in
| his slight system at the most.
Pitching Giant Problem.
This "if" business about pitchers
is purely a Giant problem. Hug
gins can come back today with
ShawkeyS and string along with
Hoyt, Mays and Jones. any one Of
whom is likely to stop the Giants.
A lot OF citizens like Mays as Il
world series pitcher, and would be
highly gratified if Higgins would
start him today or tomorrow. Mays,
! however, has had an unimpressiTe
| season. and the worthy Mr.. Hug
| gins has a single track mind. He
will always do the obvious thing.
II is right there you have the
| difference in a managerial strategy,
as exemplified by the series. Nc
Graw is always seeking the un-
usual. He is guessing two jumps
| ahead of play. while the other fell
low is trying to make up his mind.
1t was noted yesterday that the
interrogative neck of the Giants,
looking to the bench for instructions,
was not much in evidence. On the
face of things Frank Snyder was
running the team from behind the
plate. yet an ola timer assured us
last night that Snyder had no more
Ito do with the running of the team
than we had.
| McGraw was simply flashing his
signals through another agency. he
happened to have a smart pitcher
in there in the person of Art Nehf.
and il was he who looked over 10
MCGraw, caught the flash and con.
Quoted himself accordingly.
Some OF Johns strategy was open
to question. For instance. he ONE
| had Young bunt with two on ana
two out, for no apparent reason be
yond the fact that he hoped 10 catch
the Yanks on their flat feet. They
wouldn't do anything like that them
selves; therefore, why look for 1t from
a rival?
| McGraw Worked Rally.
The winning rally in the eighth
was engineered by McGraw. Hug
gins likes to have his men get up
| there and wait pitcher out, just as
he was able to do in his salad days.
/ MCGraw places no such restriction
| on his ball players. Noting that
| Bush was unusually steady, he sent
the Giants out to hit the first ball.
| and, in consequence, Bancroft, Groh,
Frisch and Emil Meusel singled IN
succession. scoring the trying runs
and sending Bush right away from
| there.
1t was only further evidence that
the Giants do not need as good
pitching as the Yanks to win their
ball games.
| In many quarters, however, the
Yankees are favored to win tOdaN's q
game. This feeling probably is
more hunCh than anything else, al
though 1t may be said that Shaw
key is better world series bet
than either Barnes or Scott.
