team which had been going at its
fastest would be able to go into the
world series at full speed, whereas
the Yankees who had been prac-
tically loafing for more than a
week, might be expected to require
a couple of days in which to get
going again.
But. as Is often the case in base
hall, things turn out just opposite
to expectations. 1t seems that the
hard, driving finish during the last
weeks of the National League sea-
son, and particularly the final week,
taxed our players to the utmost,
and that when the pennant had
been cinched they suffered an nm
conscious relaxation from which
they have not yet recovered.
But we are not beaten yet, and
will be in there fighting harder
than ever in the fourth game today.
We shall have to win four straight
games now to win out, which is
admittedly a tremendous task, but
we have done it before and when
we were in not nearly as good
shape as we are at present. I re-
fer to the series at the polo grounds
in May when we took four straight
from the Giants despite the fact
that we had lost our leading pitcher
and some Of the other members Of
the team were 80 sorely crippled
that they had to be given medical
attention before and after every
game.
III we could do that to the
Giants, who are as good a club
az the Yankees, or very nearly
so, why shOuldn't we have .
chance to do it against our
present opponents?
Anyhow, we think we can do 1T,
and we are going to try our best.
Only one world series has ended in
four games, and il the Yankees
think they are going to have an
easy time taking us for four in a
row they are likely to find them
selves sadly mistaken. We are not
beaten yet, and think things will
begin to turn in our favor in the
fourth game. Thus far we have
not got a single break.
Carmen Hill will be our pitcher
In the fourth game, and l am con.
fident that there will be a different
story to tell at the finish Of the

i don't Inlnk IL can De justly
said that the defeat was a reflection
upon or q humiliation to the
Pirates, for the simple reason that
Psnnock had a day on which he
would have beaten any club in the
world. When you reflect that he
retired our first % hitters in q
row without permitting solitary
batter to reach first base, and that
we did not hit single bali hard
until the eighth inning. 1t will be
realized what wonderful ball he
was pitching.
When a pitcher Is as great
as PennOck was i'm the third
game Of the series there simply
cannot be any hitting. Even
ordinarily pitching Is from 65
to 10 per cent Of baseball and
the slab percentage Is even
greater when hurIer delivers

understand that Pennock has
never lost a world series game and
that his victory over us gives him
a clean string OF five and equals
the ali.tin1e world series record of
five wins without q defeat. held by
Jack Coombs, and, in the light Of
his work against us, can readily
understand how he accomplished 1t
II he was as good against the
Giants in 1923 and the Cardinals
in 1925, as he was against Pitts
burgh in 1927.
And not only PennocIS. but the
entire New York club must be given
credit for the victory. There
wasn't flaw in Pennock's sup
port. and Dugan, Lazzeri and 9TH
ers made plays that fairly sparkled.
Thus far, I have got to admit
that the Yankees have looked like
q better ball club than ours. They
have had good pitching and have
had the ability to make their hits
count when they were given an
opportunity. think Lee Meadows
deserves a lot of credit for the fine
pitching he did after the first
inning, until things started to 90
against him and our cause became
80 helpless.
