M AJoR league teams with the
mn best pitching are the ones
wv that are getting the most
the pennant races.
Strong everywhere but on the
slab, the New York Giants turned
away from Cincinnati with only an
even break after a four-game split
with the ar-dwelling Reds. At
the same time the less highly touted
Brooklyn Robins were making the
most of their pitching strength in
close duel with the World Champion
Cardinals.
Pitching weakness was demon
strated by two teams at once in the
closing game of the Giants Reds
series yesterday at Cincinnati, which
went to the Reds by q 1919 count.
OF nine pitchers who took the mound
none could stop the hitting-a con-
dition, however, which the ball fan
relishes, as it makes for more thrills.
The game had ninth-inning rally
and COMMERCIALLY, with each club
scoring three runs in the fnad frame.
Tighter hurting was seen at st.
Louis, where Brooklyn pitching gave
the club half a double-header with the
Cardinals. In the first game Grover
Cleveland Alexander demonstrated the
champions own pitching strength by
granting only eight hits for an 8-to-0
shut.out. in which he bested Petty and
McWeeny. But in the second bill Doak
of the Robins outpitched Jesse Haines
and allowed but five safeties in 6-to-
l victory.
Good pitching performances were
comparatively numerous In a 7-to-0
