NEW YORK. Sept. "a Fans who
watch the world series this year
are apt to sse two pitching staffs
right in top form. A lot Of folks.
thinking Of the Yankees and PI.
rates only as slugging outfits, may
get the surprise Of their life.
But I'm going to venture the
opinion right now that at least two
Of the games win be pitchers bait
Ties with the victory going to the
| club that can show the greatest
defense
And here's why.
Neither the Yankee or Pirate
pitching stats were figured very
strong at the first Of the season.
The years play has shown that
both Of them were underestimated.
And right now they both are going
great guns. Meadows, Hin, and
krerner Of the Pirates have pitched
wonderful bah during the past
month. And Hoyt. Moore ShocSer
and Pennock Of the Yankees have
been going just IS good.
There Is this big differences.
The Yankees clincIned the pen.
nant early and have simply
breezed through the last two
weeks q play. The National
Leaguers are III fight TO the
finish the penimant can't
be officially clincEed Till the end
Of the season.
Nov he question comes up as to
whether the strain 81 90 close 4
fight win be more harmful to the
National League club than the
natural let.down that follows an
easy victory VIII to the Yankees.
There's danger In j letsdoWn. No
question about that. Once Il fellow
starts taking il easy he's apt II have
4 lot Of trouble bearing down AGAIN
when he wants to.
But Il you'll look over the box
scores .feu'Il see that the Yankees
haven't let down. We've PLAYED.

We clinched the pennant as we did

Of q lot of new records to keen Us
going. The boys have been playing
I'd make some new marks, and
they've fought hard, though they
haven't had the worry ana strain
Of close fight.
That Is to the Yankees advan.
tage I figure.
Our pitchers have had 1
chance 70 work regularly and
In turn, but they haven't been
forced. Our hitters have been
able To ret plenty or work
without suffering the strain that
comes Of close hard finish.
When pitchers like the Pirates
have been forced to give every.
thing they had Ia the pennant
FIGHT ana when they've forced
themselves for more than two
months 20 hold slender lead
they are bound to Be BIZ

they're on edge from fighting

that tired feeling.
I'm not Understanding Pitts.
burgh pitching strength. Meadows
and Hill and Kremer are great
pitchers capable Of making trouble
for any club in the world when
they're right. But just remember
that this is no one-sided affair.
While Meadows and others are maxi
ing trouble for us. Hoyt and Moore
and Pennock and Shocker win be-
in there making just as much
trouble for them.
And with fellows like that lined
up against each other 1t looks to me
as though there would be at least
two real pitchers battles before the
series is over.
There win be sluggthg, too.
