nat the case IulS yGHTs
Take Herb Pennock on our club
for instance. Herb always has
been one Of the best pitchers In
either league and he still IL. But
he can't seem to get going this
year-and he's dropping more ball
games in one season than he used
to lose in two. Then there's Shaute
at Cleveland, whitehill at Detroit,
Grove at Philadelphia, Wiltse with
Boston, and Wingard at st. Louis.
None of them are having big years.
They just cant seem to get going.
/ guess II It came down to
cases, Lefty Grove has been
the biggest disappointment OF
the season to Connie Mack. A
year ago Lefty looked like q
world beater. His fast ball
was q wonder and he had
fast curve that simply couldn't
be hit. Lefty must have beaten
us seven or eight times last
season and toward the end 0f
the year Il got 50 all he had
Ia. do WIS toss his glove In
and the Yankees folded mp.
This year Lefty has beaten US
Just twice-aI1d botL OF those
games were wild hitting affairs
that were no credit to Lefty. The
same thing goes for Shaute and
Wtitehill and the others. It just
isn't lefthander's year.
And here's another strange thing
about pitching. You can't tell what
pitchers are going to do. Before the
season opened the experts picked the
Athletics and Cleveland as real PEN
nant contenders because OF their
great pitching stats. And Wash.
ington was out of 1t because they
had no pitching. Yet the Athletics
and Cleveland pitchers have gone
to pieces. And Bucky Harris picked
up two good boys in Lisenbee and
Hadley, and now he's right up in
second place with pretty safe
chance Of finishing there.
The same thing IL true over In
the National League. The un.
beatable pitching staff Of the
Cards has slowed down to q walk
and the boys are getting bumped
pretty regularly. But the kid
pitchers" Of the Cubs have come
through in great shape and are
going along rs smoothly az .
machine.
Looking the thing over from
where I'm sitting 1t strikes me that
the great trouble with most clubs is
lack of capable relief men. When
a manager has a corking good
pitcher that he can use for relief
work he's got a running start on the
field. For then, when one Of his
regulars gets bumped as they all do
The can run in his relief man and
not upset the regular working of his
staff. Fellows like Cy Moore of the
| Yankees, and Garland Braxton and
Fred Marberry Of the Senator's, are
worth their weight in gold They
don't start any games, but they fin.

season they've usually worked more

After studying the schedule"
says Harris, II can see plenty Of
hope. Now that they have finished
picking on us, the Tigers must
play three with the Yankees and
three with the AS. Then comes six
games with the Browns, and don't
forget all three series will just about
take al the Tigers have.
also, whenever team Il on
long winning streak, as the
Tigers are now. the law Of
averages says that when they
crack, they lose a good many
more games than merely OHle.
Fright now, as the teams are
playing, ia say that IL any club
is to beat US out Of second place,
1t will be Philadelphia, not Detroit,
But we are to be considered there,
too. This slump Of ours can't go
on forever. We have a lot OF
games to play at home yet and
that must not be forgotten, either"
Manager Harris limped into this
town last night, a victim Of an
umpires hard knee. While Nc.
Manus was being run down by
Ossae BIuege in Mondays game,
Harris went over to cover third
base and collided with Umpire Bill
MCGOWAN who was darting across
his path for better view of the
putout.

than any other two men on the staff.
Good pitching Is a great thing
but rounding up q pitching staff and
keeping It in good shape through
the season IL the toughest job q
manager has. And when q chap can
do that he's pretty well alcng on his
road to q pennant.
