CHICAGO. Oct. 9.-Improved
pitching should carry the Giants
to another world championship
in the big series starting with the
Yankees this week.
Three weeks ago when the Ma.
tional Leaguers were going none
too smoothly owing to ineffective
hurting McGraw was forced to en-
ploy three and four pitchers in
practically every game. believe,
though, that the Giants have been
under the wire long enough now TO
have rested up all the regular pitch
ers for the battles with the Ameri.
can leaguers.
The comeback of Art Nehf is an
other reason for my selection Of
the Giants. When he is at the
top OF his form as he now seems
to be Nehf is one Of the greatest
southpaws in the game and / look
for him to show the Yankee slug.

am inclined to think that McGraw

Pennock, the only ~southpaw on
the Yankee staff, while perhaps
the best in the American League,

tackles the Giants. During tho

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Odds on the

won twelve and lost ten. Nc
Quillan won fifteen and lost four
teen in thirteen complete games.
JOnnard worked one complete
game.
Here we have a record Of 81 COM
plete games for the Giants. Nine
shutout victories were won. Let's
look over the Yanks staff. Herbert
Pennock has won Is games and lost
6, has 81 complete games and shut
out. Sam Jones. with 20 victories
and defeats has Is complete
games and shutouts. Hoyt. with
II and has Is complete games and
l shutout; Shawkey, with Is vic
tories and II defeats has II com.
plete games and l shutout; while
Bush, with Is victories and Is de.
feats has 81 complete games and
shutouts. We tie the Giants In
shutouts, but have 95 complete
games to our credit, a margin OF
38 complete games.
Now, that means something over
a season. and it should mean some
thing over a world series. Fans
are bordering now which of the
hurlers will be the hero of the '23
series. That will depend largely
upon weather conditions. If the
series is played under lowering
skies. why fast ball pitchers like
Bush and Shawkey may, stand out
for us, while Scott and McQuillan
may do well for them. Scott, with
his low ball breaking. will be
tough.
On. a bright day, however, change
of pace will bother both teams.
Jones, Hoyt and Pennock are
change of pace artists. Ryan, they
tell us, has a good change Of pace,
and Nehf, If he pitches, will show
some flashy stuff in this line. Joe
Bush, although beaten last year, is
great pitcher, and do not be sur
prised if he comes back and repeats
his great success of 1913, when he
beat Matty and won the series for
the Athletics.
Looking back over the records of
past world series, we find that
most Of them were won by great
hurting staffs, with one man some
times standing out. In 1905 there
was Matty who three times shut
out the Philadelphia Athletics. In
1906 the famous Ed Walsh starred
with two victories over the Cubs.
In 1907 the Cubs slaughtered Detroit
with Mordecia Browns, Ed Ruel-
bach, Jack Pfeister and Overall on
the hill.
Jacks Coombs stood out for the
Athletics in 1910. while the follow
ing year saw Bender stop the Giants
short. In 1913 Bender, Plank and
Bush hurled great ball. There were
other great pitchers but these will
prove my point that pitching will
win most of the time. think we
have the pitching.
Giving the Giants their due. I
think they will prove no more
formidable than some of the pitchers
we faced in the American League.
If they should all develop the skill
of Uhle in this series we are out of
luck, for the Cleveland pitcher
stood us up this year. But there
Is one Uhle, and I think he out
matches any Of the Giants.

Iney LAnnGQ uE~Eather neatly In
1922 and nosed US out a year earlier
just when it seemed that we were
rather certain victors. But this year
it will be something different. We're
much-talked-abou breaks Of the
game for ourselves-and that, plus
our native playing power, ought to
send US home in front without great
difficulty.
But even IL we don't get our share
of baseball luck, am supremely
confident we will win anyway.
We've got different spirit this year
than we've ever known before. The
whole team has been playing like a
machine-and that's something that
can't be said of our 1921 and 1922
world series aggregations.
thought our defeats I'm those
years were due largely to the fact
that we didn't play together to the
full limit as we have been playing
this year.
Every man in the Yankee lineup
has been displaying infinitely better
baseball than he ever did before
and that is especially true of BaFe
Ruth. He always has been some
thing Of pace-maker for us. The
big fellow has played the most won
derful game this year that any dia-
mond athlete has ever shown. He
has been a Gibraltar in defense and
Hercules in attack-genuinely
marvellous.
The Giant pitchers won from Babe
in their duels with him in 1922 and
also In 1921-but this 10 1928. I
reckon the Babe will get even in this
series for all the batting defeats he
suffered for two years from Nc
Graw's pitchers.
And when the Babe is going good
the whole team plays great baseball

to keep right along with him.
1t Always has been SAID IIlstt pitch
ing is about 20 per cent of ball
club. If that's true / think We
have the big advantage over tie
Giants this year because we have
four men who have been hurting for
months in most spectacular style.
Jones, Bush, Hoyt. and Pennock are
tuned to what is called concert
pitch" right now-and the safest bot
in the world il that the Giants won't
get frivolous with the offers OF n
single one of that group.
PennOcI, who has baffIed the
sluggers Of the American League,
may do the same thing to the
faced Herbie. and he's quite likely
to make them look like Chinese
lanterns in gale when they begin
swinging at his pOrtside tWisterS.
It's true that the Giants have
beaten us nine times in twelve de-
cision battles Of the world series of
1921 and 1922. But three Of their
nine victories were by single-run
margins and three others were by
two runs. All Of which shows that
even though they have taken two
flags from us they have not demon
strated any great superiority.
This Yankee team Of ours has felt
that we lost both series due to some
bad luck in certain spots and be-
cause. at certain critical moments,
ue might have been q bit shy on
what is known as coordination.
And, realizing that we are going
into the battle on Wednesday re-
solved to play in perfect unity az
we have been playing all year--and
to play to the limit Of our power
and then bit beyond-to gather in
the glory OF a world series triumph
for ourselves.

League contenders was more in back

In major league baseball we don't
send scouts out pussy-footing on our
rivals before a big event, like some
of the colleges do before their foot
ball games. But a number of
Yankee players have been spectators
at several Giant games in the past
ten days. Bob Shawkey, Wally Pipp,
Sam Jones and others have been
sitting behind homeplate, looking
over the boys who have trimmed us
two years running. They were
specially interested in sizing up Bent

peep at Nehf, who, If reports are on

that idea in mind.
