The fact is, that the seasons take

Sometimes I think it must be
great to be q baseball expert
and often wonder how those
who are experts get that way.
For instance, I was sitting
right back Of one Of them at
Ehibe Park, Philadelphia a
couple Of afternoons this week.
and as the wind was blowing
in of the field, the words he
dictated to telegraph operator
to be relayed to his newspaper
In some far away shebang
waited back in my direction,
and I thought to myself,
thought l., What q life it must
be to be one of those baseball
experts and be able to ten abb
solutely everything that hap
pens to q fast pitched ball"
For instance, while Burleigh
Grimes and Robert Nose Grove
were drilling 'em in across the
plate, the expert would say to
his telegrapher:
Strike one; Q curve that
broke on the outside"
And then:
Strike two, called; straight
across the middle Of the plate
and waist high"
Later:
Strike three, swung: cutting
the heart Of the plate"
Now the thing that puzzles
me about these experts is the
way they can see from their
perch high up in the press
coop something that the batter
right on top Of the ball can't
see. Maybe it's perspective and
maybe it isn't, but anyway its
marvellous!
While wishing in no way to
diScredit my brethren Of the
profound profession Of sports
Scribbling, I sometimes envy
their rare optical accomplish
nentS in being able to so &C
curately and sometimes sub
timely see these things afield
that happen so quickly and

happen know nothing whatever

GrOue and Earusha1D Can Make It -Four Straight Griffith
MACKS NEED
PITCHERS TO
WIN IN 81
By JOE HOLMAN

II Connie Mack comes back
with Lefty Grove today and
George EarnShaw tomorrow, Phila-
delphia's Athletics win make g
clean sweep of their 1880 world
series with st. Louis. This be-
lief was ventured today by Clark
Griffith, canny president Of the
Washington club. The Washing
ton prexy said:
'sFrOm what I gathered In
the Philadelphia games the AS
need emily to shoot I'm these
fellows to cop. Athletic power
will do the rest.
"Of course, Connie Mack may
decide to rest Grove another
day and send Rube WaIberg
to the b0x. IL I were i'm his
place, however, / wouldn't take
any chances"
Looking to the future, Griffith
reasons that the Athletics must
rebuild to repeat their pennant
performances Of the last two sea-
sons. Five men, he thinks. have
held up the team this year.
Lefty Grove, George EarnsfaW,
AL Simmons, Jimmy Foxx and
Mickey Cochrane are those he
rates most highly.
"NO club can cOr4inue win
ming with a few picked stars"
he declared, balance is inst
as essential as power in any
line Of sport.
Several Athletic players have
shown unmiStakabIe signs Of
slipping this season. And rO
ball club can expect TO carry
on at q championship clip
with only handful Of depend.
able pitchers that's been
proven time and again"
While Griffith refuses to di.
vulge the names Of the Athletics
whose 1880 records have been
below par, their identity is net
difficult to discern.
Third BaSen1an Jimmy Dykes,
Shortstop Joe Boley, Center
Fielder Mule Haas and Right
Fielder Bing Miller have failed
to flash anything of their 1929
brilliance this season.
Too. Grove and EarnShaw, vir-
| tually single handed, have borne
the brunt Of the mound Wolk.
Ed Rommell, Jack Quinn and
Rube Walberg, though showing
periodical bursts Of speed, have re-
vealed little Of their usual conSis7
tency. Possibly Quinn, the
ancient mound mariner, has held
his own better than any of the
obove mentioned.
With requirements needed
in virtually every department,
it can therefore be seen that
Philadelphia, to repeat its
championship another year,
must start its search for 1891
Notifications when the world
series curtain is drawn.
Griffith is inclined to view the
future of his Washington club
rather optimistically.
He said:
''Walter johnson struck his
managerial stride during the
past season. And he will be q
greatly improved leader another
| year.
"Of course we need several
more players to improve our
power and defense. And I'm !
going to make every effort to
get them this winter-I realize
how badly we need reserve
power"
For one thing, Griffith re-
vealed, every effort will be made
to get the Griffmen away at top
speed next spring. Washington
got started on winning stride
early this past year. And, but
for the unfortunate midseason
injury of Heine ManuSh and sey-
eral other unexpected setbacks,
Walter Johnson's men might have
pulled the utterly unexpected.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4.-Coste and
Bellonte flew in here last night,
and it might be good idea for
Manager Street to use 'em as his
battery against the AS in the
third game Of the worlds Serlcs
this afternoon. coste and Bel.
lonte have never gone higher or
stayed up longer than Flint
Rhem. Besides il they are good
enough for the President OF
France they ought to be good
enough for Gabby.
There is q sharp cleavage Of
opinion as to just who Street
will pitch today. Some say Bill
Hallahan, others say Jesse Jams S
Haines. Haines has the more
desperate name, but Hallahas1 has
the more desperate face. So you
pays your .$3.65 and sees the one
that's selected for you.
I tried to track Street to
his lair to get the inside, but
up to the time of going to
press wasn't able to locate
him. Perhaps the Old Sarge
has gone back to Joplin to
explain it to the nefghbOrS.
As between Haines, q canny
old Highlander, and Hallahan,
Johnny-come-latel lefty, there
is this to say: Haines knows
more about pitching, but the
little fellow has more to pitch
with. HaineS would have con-
troll whatever else he might not
have: Hallahan might be wilder
than a guy from Wyoming In one
Of Guinan'S night corrsls, but
both are, I believe, as game as
any mans pitcher.
There is one other angle. The
late and truly laimented little
Miller Higgins, who studied base.
bali as few have studied it, used
to say that to pitch a southpaW
against the AS was suicide. In
those days Hug had Pennock.
And in those days Pennock was
Pennock. For all of which I am
reasonably sure Hallahan will be
in the crows nest when Geisel
signals "play ball" this after
noon.
Nor is there any certainty as
to whom Connie Mack'S aged
but eagle eye viii light on for
his third game pitcher. It might
be Grove. It might be Shores
If it is Shores I am going to
write a song and call it:
Why is Shores so near the
ShOwerS2-Because the. Cardinals
put him there.
The tune, of course, win be
''On That BAN, Bann, Bammy
Shore"
IF the Cardinals can't hit
that trambO it's time they
packed mp thir bats and went
back to selling life insurance.
When . ball player has moth
ing else TO- do he sells life
insurance. But not to um-
pireS.
If Shores and Ha1lahan should
oppose each. other, that will make
two Bills out there, and anything
can happen.
John Arnold Heydler, president
of the National League, took to his
bed on his arrival here. His case
was promptly diagnosed as an
acute attack of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
This is a disease new to, the medi-
cal profession. having cropped up
during the last four years. and
If National League team doesn't
win q worlds series game soon it
will wind up killing more good
men than machine guns.
Personally, I think Heydler and
his chief nnourner. Cullen Cain.
should go themselves and take all
the National League magnates to
Freud and have them psyche
analyzed. It may be that some
Of them are not living right.

they haven't. I've watched them

The Cardinals, on the other

is the thing that is most likely
to give the AS real and constant
trouble. 49,

Bob ought to be able to come

tO remember tllis-that first game
he wasn't himself. He won despite
bad pitching, and thanks largely
to fine defensive play. The Car
dinals haven't yet seen the real
Grove, and they haven't yet had
a taste Of his real speed or had
q look at his best curve ball.
II it's Grove against Halla-
han then / figure we're due
TO see the cIaSsiest baseball
exhibition Of the entire series.
The disappointment of the
series thus far, to me, has been
the inability of Bottomley and
Hafey to do any hitting. These
two boys are real sluggers and I
know It. Thus far ale Athletics
have kept them tightly bottled
up and between them they have
had only one hit. But they're
apt to break loose any time and
when they do, Comics pitchers
are due for plent:.' of trouble
In the long 'un though well
I've said all season long that the
AS were one Of the best ball
clubs Of recent years ani see
no reason to change my opinion
now.
