no end of sturdy and dreaded right
handed batSmen. An examination of
the records of Grove and Walberg
shows 1t doesn't make any difference
to either pitcher whether the opposing
batsman hits right-handed or left
handed.
All through the season Grove and
Walberg had great success against the
best of American League right-handed
hitters. Unless there are injuries or ILL
ness, there is no reason why shouldn't
employ them both during the series.
Then we have five top-notch right
handlers who have delivered their share
all through the pennant race. While
some have not worked as often as the
others, still when called on, they never
failed me. There were times last sea-
handler who had not seen service 5et-20
days or more. It was a vital sItuat1on
and we needed the victory. Invariably
that right.hander won the game for US.
George Earnshaw. big as a moose,
has been out right-handed ace.
He has beaten everybody before him
this year and adds to his value by the
fact that he can be worked out Of turn
and still do his best.
It is always comfortable feeling
to a manager to have a man of Earn
set of games. You feel that you have
a dependable man to 60 in at any time.
If things 60 wrong.
Earnshaw is one of the most willing
pitchers I ever had and just now ne Is
in the best of condition and ready for
a siege, II necessary. We clinched the
pennant so early that all Of my regular
pitchers have had chance TO get
rested. They have been worked Just
enough to keep the edge from dulllng.
For that matter, Mccarthy has been
able to employ the same tactics with
his pitchers.
While Earnshaw has won more games
than any of the other right-handers, 1t
must not be overlooked that Quinn,
Rommel, Ehmke and Shores have also
done good work and are all set to race
Cub swingers. :
Quinn Still Reliable.
Quinn is one Of the few pitchers left
who is able to dispense q splitter. He
has an extremely batting delivery. espe-
cially to opponents who have seldom
faced him. Quinn is past the 40-year
mark in age, but he is still top-notch
finger, and feel sure he will do good
work In the coming games.
Ehmke has not pitched often, but has
delivered some remarkable games for
us. ~ SCGIuS IIC d1Wds6 IASCo W eAAC
situation. In an important game against
a powerful opponent he does his best
work
Rommel is the coolest pitcher in the
American League. He is never abashed
by men on bases or breaks that 60
against our side. Doing relief work he
is gem. Rommel helps win his own
game by his uncanny knack of fielding
his position. He is another Mordecai
Brown in this respect.
Then we have Bill Shores, young
Texas Highlander, who has pitched
uniformly good all season. Either as
a starting pitcher or a relief man he
has proved useful. Shores has lots of
stuff and knows how to use it.
As said before, am not going to
announce the name of my pitcher in
advance. There Is no reason why ]
should. With seven men to draw from,
! can hold back.
In closing might say that I appre-
ciate that the Cubs are well gunned
with heavy hitters, and must always be
regarded as dangerous, but I think !
have both in quality and quantity the
proper pitching to hold them back.
