Often we hear fans speak of the
| terrific speed OF a ball club. But
remember, speed only counts when it
is on the bases. To get it into full use
the Pirates have got to break by the
pitching of those three crafty veter-
| ans.
The same difficulty can be applied
to the Pittsburgh punch. The Pirates
certainly have a winning punch. But
will the veteran pitchers let it get
away from them?
| AT the same time the Pirates have
| got to rig up a strong defense to keep
| the Senators from getting their speed

eight and one-half games each.
Three games in each league were
played as the curtain fell yesterday. SO
far as the standing was concerned, the
only result was the Cubs drop into
the cellar of the National League
through a defeat by the Cardinals.
On the heels of the Nationals and
Athletics. the st. Louis Browns and
Detroit Tigers finished in order in the
American League and will share in the

world series success.
In the adjoining table we give the
list of Pirate batting averages, and
there is no denying that Pittsburgh
packs a mean punch. This will he
the first time that a manager Will
be in position to put an entire team
OF 800 hitters into Il world series. In
1910, Connie Mack had an entire
lineup Of 800 hitters. with the eX-
ception Of Shortstop Jack Barry, a
.268 hitter, who was one of the most
dangerous men on the club in the
pinch. Three years ago all of John
McGraw's Giant regulars, with the
exception of Heinie Groh, We're 800
hitters, and Heinie proceeded to be
the batting star OF the series. SO
averages often do not prove much in
a short series.
In closely anaIyzing the work of
the Pirates this season l have OBJ
served that they hit terrifically
against the so-called pitching clucks. .
but usually are stopped by good pitch
ing. That was one of the shortCom-
ings of the Yankees when they We're
champions. f'irst-class pitching usu-
ally tied them up, but they could
make life miserable for the mediocre
pitchers. Thus, ina ability to hit good
pitching lost the Yanks two of their
three world series.
Averages May DwindIe.
This is not an attempt to minimize
PittsburGhs we'll known hitting
strength, yet it is only fair TO say
that those 800 averages likely will
dwindle considerably when the
Pirates test their batting skill against
the speed of Johnson and the splitter
Of CoyeleSkie.
Ruether, despite his fine season,
does not figure to give the Pirates
much trouble. Not only are the Pi-
rates familiar with his style of deliv-
cry, but the chances of their beating

AS a rival manager I expect Nc

himself in this series. He knows the
game and has the confidence OF his
players. McKechnie was always "a

type of player who thinks out prob

enough speed to win. if he only gets
the opportunity TO use il. That is his
problem No matter how much latent
speed there may be on the bench. such
