From a pitchers standpoint,
I'd say the ball promises to very
easy to field as it won't come at
us with the spin and hop that
characterizes the momentum of
the American League ball.
Judge Jumps
In other words, we pitchers will
be able to gauge the jumps a
little better and this will allow
us to take little more time after
making a particular fielding play
to throw it to first, second or
third base as the case may be.
Then again, if we are going
to be able to grip it more strong
ly when pitching, there won't be
that tendency of so many balls
coming straight at us, la line

AS to sacrifice bunts, we
shouldn't have a great deal of

III RATES HUBBELL OVER WHITEHLL AS SERIES STAND OUT
'PR|M SPARKLES
IN FINAL.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-They're
probably not thinking about next
year at this stage of the season
what with a world series near at
hand and all that sort of thing,
but maybe they needn't if fellows
like Ray Prim come around very
often.
Prim was sent to the mound
in the Griffs' finale against the
Philadelphia AS in Washington
yesterday and he was told the as
signment was to be his from start
to finish, providing he could fin
ish.
Ray finished" all right and
turned in an excellent effort all
the while. He had all of Connie
Mack's batsmen bothered up there
at the plate with the exception
Of Jimmy Foxx, who couldn't be
bothered by any pitcher, much
more Prim. Besides this he held
his foes Scoreless for 10 innings
and only lost out in the eleventh
when Cramer got to him for a
single to center after Madjeski
had pushed Texas league
double to left and Walberg had
beat out a bunt down the third
base line.
Some more hitting forced Ray
out of the picture before the end
of this eleventh and Ed Chapman
was rushed into action to retire
the side. He did so aided by a
double play, Travis to Kerr to
Harris on McNair's grounder to
third.
The AS won the game, to 0.
Rube Walberg hurled throughout
and actually turned in one of
his best efforts of the season.
He gave up six hits and was
bettered by Prim only until the
eleventh when the AS collected
four to put the verdict safely in
the bag.
Manager Joe Cronin was pre-
Sented with silver medal, the
baseball players, individual base

have such a time following that
crazy ball to catch it, what
kind Of a time will the Senators
have trying to hit it?
Schumacher's sinker won't be
any better with their ball but
his fast one may be a little bet
ter.
I must admit our ball will be
more Of a help to the Senator
pitchers than their ball will be
to all of ours, except Fitz.
Crowder, Whitehill, Weaver and
Stewart ought to have better
curves with our ball if they can
get used to it quickly. Whether
they can or not, I don't know.
Only the games can show that.
Makes OFT Look Bad
Springtime-that's Mel Ott-
hits a knuckler about as good as
anybody, but the other day Fitz
made him look foolish with the
A. L. ball. I think the Senators
will feel just the same way when
they step up there to take their
rifle in that first game in Wash
ington where I think Fritz will
make his final appearance.
Don't get me wrong. On the
hitting, don't think it will make
much difference to either team
which ball is used. They'll both
travel if they are hit right. But
1t will sure make big difference
to Fitz in the pitching and might
possibly affect some of the others.
I still think Cronin's best bet is
to use two lefthanders-Stewart
and Whitehill-in the first two
games at the Polo Grounds in an
effort to stop some of our pull hi5-
ters who know the range of those
short foul lines. However, he
might use righthander but that's
his funeral, not mine.
I simply can't make myself be.

CroWder hasn't had one shut-out

His squib-that's what we call
a curve-Was breaking nice and
his high hard one had a sweet
mop on 1t. BY the way, YOU
would never think so to look at
that lean guy, but he actually is
about as fast as anybody when
ne wants to cut loose.
I don't think the American
League ball will help Carl any,
like it will Fitzsimmons, but it
won't hurt him. Hub is a cinch
to catch. I'll bet I could catch
him sitting in a rocking chair.
If that dipsydoo of his were as
easy to hit as it is to catch, the
Senators might have a chance
with him.

Fitz and his knuckler are sim

ball paths have odd ways of
crossing sometimes and one in
particular in the coming world
series is interesting to say the
least.
In this case the series will
have two former teammates
meeting and facing each other
in the persons of Ossie Bluege,
of the Griffmen, and Charley
Dresser, of the Giants.
Both played on the same
team-Peoria, of the Three-Eye

3ust closed must be given top
consideration in any discussion
involving the pitchers of 1893.
Next to Hubbell 1 rate Earl
Whitehill of the Senators, also
a southpaw. Whether the two
will oppose each other in any
of the games is something which
only the managers know. It
may be regarded as better
strategy to use some other pitcher
against the opponents ace.
would rate Alvin Crowder
above Hal Schumacher of the
Giants. Crowder has been a bear
for work this season, starting
in his regular turn and taking
plenty of relief assignments as
well. He hasn't pitched as many
complete games as Schumacher,
nor has he registered as many
shutouts, but he pitched about
100 innings more than the
Giants leading right-hander and
he has scored more victories.
Rate a Stand-Off
I figure Wally Stewart and
Fred Fitzsimmons will be the
other starting pitchers for the
teams and either is a smart
hurler, with plenty of stuff. I
figure it is a stand-off here.
Either one is capable of turning
in a brilliant performance any
time he starts, and I expect both
will start.
I have read recently that Bill
Terry has decided not to start
Parmelee in the series because
of his spell of ineffectiveness in
the closing days of the race. I
also read that Watson Clark,
who had had rather disappoint-
ing season, may get a chance in
the series, as his ailing arm has
responded to treatment. This
would not surprise me as WASH
ington has plenty of power
swinging from the off-side of
the plate and southpaw pitching
may be needed to curb Messrs.
Myer, Goslin, Manush and Kuhel.
It is possible that Monte
Weaver, who finished we'll after a
poor start this season, will start
a game for the Senators, but I
don't look to see him. believe
the two southpaws-Whitehill and
SteWart-and CroWder, will do all
the starting, with Weaver in re-
serve.
Relief Pitchers Good
Both teams have highly eff
cient relief pitchers. Jack Rus
sell, of Washington, and Adolf
Luque, of the Giants, both seem
to have what it takes to slow up
q team when it goes on batting
rally. In a short series of this
kind, however, the managers may
prefer to rely on one of their
starting pitchers for whatever re.
lief may be needed. Herman Bell
and Watson Clark, the latter a
southpaw, are other pitchers whom
Bill Terry may call upon for relief
work. Bob Burke, Southpaw,
and Al Thomas, veteran right
handler, complete the rescue squad
Of the Senators.
Each team has nine pitching
eligibles,
Behind the bat see no choice.
There are two smart receivers,
hitting close to $50, and artists
in handling pitchers. The Giants
have Richards and Danning as
extra catchers, while Washington
has Berg and Bolton. But I ex-
pect that Gus Mancusco and Luke
Sewell will do all the backstop-
ping. And both will do it well.

Now, let me say a word in be-
half of the infielders. They're
going to be helped just as much
as we pitchers as instead of feel
ing uncertain as to how the ball
leaves the batter's bat, just how
it's going to travel along the
grass and how they'll have to
get "set" before making their
various pick-ups, stops, etc.
Therefore, from all of this
discussion, I can't for the life of
me see how that National Lea
que ball is going to handicap us
to any great extent. At any rate
we're not bothering about it too
much and really believe the
Giants should take stock of our
American League ball, as it
promises to give them a few un-
expected jolts that they've ap-
parently overlooked.
But maybe I'm wrong.

Glimmer of Hope Seen for Bailey
When Slight Improvement
Follows Grave Night.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, December 19.-There was
ID a glimmer of hope for Irwin (Ace)
Bailey today as he continued a
slight improvement shown after an
early morning setback.
The Toronto hockey player, whose
skull was fractured during the Maple
Leafs Bruins game at Boston Garden
a week ago tonight, improved slightly,
grew rapidly worse, then improved
again as the morning wore on.
His blood pressure scared suddenly at
l o'clock this morning. Dr.. Joseph
Hahn, the attending physician, was
called and lumbar puncture was per-
formed to relieve pressure on the brain.
DR.. Hahn described the sudden change
in Baileys condition as IAN attack Of
oheynes stokes and dyspnea" and for
nearly two hours the hockey player S
condition grew steadily worse.
Then, at 3 o'clock, he showed slight
improvement. the change for the bet
ter coming as suddenly as his rapid de-
cline began earlier in the morning. The
improvement continued.
During last night physicians had
given Bailey fluid nourishment in

scribed as slightly improved over the
