twice Barnes from Circleville, Kan.
came through with colors flying ard
gave one of the most startling exhibi-
tions yet seen in a world series. What
Barnes did last year he may be able to
ldo again. But the law OF averages rs
against him.
McQuillan is the sort of pitcher who
normally would prove a hard PROPOSE
tion for the Yankees. But there is one
important item which figures against
Hugh. II things do not go right for
McQuillan or the umpire Is not calling
them up TO snuff the right handler cannot
control his temper. He begins 20 pick
himself to pieces-and against the YAM
KEGS such procedure would prove fatal.
No man can pitch a world series game
and battle with himself as we'll as with
the opposing hltters.
Ryan without doubt will be favored
over Hin. In fact, II would not surprise
us at all to see Ryan start one of the
games-perh2ps an early one too. Bill
has a remarkable repertoire of curves.
We believe that he has moro stuff than
any other pitcher in the National League
But Ryan has not always taken his
pitching seriously and has not studied
his hitters. OF late he has done well.
Hill is pitcher with a fadeaway--the
only real fadeaway In the league, now
that Babe Adams practically has dis
carded his. Hill has a pulling style.
His slow ball, when right, Is wonder.
He has a lot OF curves and fine burst
Of speed.
However, when It comes TO throwing
a fast one the king of the lot Is JON
nard. He has not started a game this
season and we do not think that he will
start In the big series. But no VIII
be kept in reserve as a relief-a Joo
which he has done right well. Virgil
Barnes Also may be in there as relief
pitcher If NicGraw finds that he has to
continue his great juggling act.
Hoyt Most Dangerous.
So much for the pftching. Obviously,
the Yankees have so big an advantage
there on the dope that comparisons are
odious 20 Giant fans. Joe Bush. Bob
shawlsey. Waite Hoyt. Carl Mays and
sam Jones give Huggins tremendous
advantage In the box. We regard Hoyt
and his curve ball as the most danger
Gus. We think Mays the second best
bet. HIS style is puzzling TO men who
have not been up against II during the
season.
shawkcy has more stuff than the
others. but the Giants have got II into
their heads that he will be "cinch."
whether that confidence will hurt them
when they face Bob or help them re-
mains TO be seen. Bush and his fast
hall are not favored by many competent
critics when Il comes 20 talk OF beat
ing the Giants Fast ball hurlers have
not done much against the Giants this
season. However. Bullet Joe has
fine change Of pace and may fool them.
4 good change of pace singer raises
hob with National Leaguers.
Behind the bat the advantage seems

outdid wsllie Schang last year In
catching. throwing and hitting. Schang
was rather off form against the Giants.
This year Snyder has experienced the
greatest all around success OF his
career. lie is hitting .33S and going
great guns behind the bat We do not
believe that Earl Smith will do much
catching. but he is sure 20 be In there

he has done very we'll this season al;

the 270 mark.
