The Waners, Paul and Lloyd,
are carrying the banners for the
Pirates. They are expected to
show up the slower Yankees at
every opportunity. Traynor. Gran
than and Joe Harris are all ex-
pected to pound the ball quite as
hard as will any of the American
League champions.
This series getting under way
today promises to be tight
little fight all the way, running
requiring the whole seven to
reach decision. The Yankees
are credited with the longer
hitting, the Pirates with more
hitting. The Pirates are ex-
pected to have more runners on
the paths all the time, the
Yankees bringing in more runs
on long drives.
The pitching is puzzle. Kremer,
with 19 victories and eight defeats
for the season. won all his seven
starts during the final month of
the campaign, though hammered
from the hill in the last game with
Cincinnati. He Is booked to start
today against the Yankees. He is

during the last month.

year, as against ten defeats. He
ranks second choice to Kremer.
