New York, Sept. 28.-Each team en-
tiers this world series with one real.
~ great pitcher. The Mats have Alvir
Crowder. The Giants have Carl Hub.
bell.
A pitching duel between these two
men, Hubbell, the southpaw, and
Crowder, the right handler, Is one 81
the pleasant anticipations Of the SER
les. Hubbell will be Manager Terry'a
choice to open the series, and Man
ager Cronin probably will send Crow
der against him.
Terry may try to manipulate the
pitching assignments so that he can
start Hubbell three times against the
Mats. The southpaw has shown Z
great capacity for work, having ap-
peared in more than 40 games during
the season. Carl's best pitch IS q
screw bail which Is especially battling
to right handed batters. New York
ers are placing hopes in Hubbell's
ability to fool left-handed hitters like
Manush and Joe Kuhel with this de-
livery.
Hubbell should give plenty Of trou-
bic to all the Washington hitters, as
he has fine change Of pace. His
screw ball comes up to the plate slow,
at halt speed or fast, and 1t is hard
for a batter to get set for such q de-
livery.
High Regard for Crowder
Crowder, think, IS possibly the
greatest pitcher OF our day. He Is
always anxious to 60 into the box, as
his record Of having pitched this sea-
son In more than so games-nearly
one-third Of the number Of games
scheduled-te And he has all
that great pitcher should have In the
way Of courage, brains and stuff.
Crowder came to us when I was
managing Washington. He had been
q shortstop in the Army and became
converted to pitching because Of the
terrific whip he gave the ball across
the diamond. He added to this store
Of speed all the tricks Of the pitching
business and he picked them up
quickly.
During the last days Of the pen
nant fight. Crowder often would ask
to pitch when the team was facing a
critical situation where q few thrown
balls would decide game. This sort
Of team spirit counted whole lot In
Washington's victory this year.
F1tx and His Knucklef
Each team has three other starters
In addition to Hubbell and Crowder.
Terry may be figuring to start FIRE.
die Ftzsimmons In the second game.
Pesides he has the youngsters Par
melee and Schumacher. AL three Of
these men are right handlers, and
figure to face pretty sure trouble from
the heavy hitting left-handed WASH
ington hitters, such as Kuhel and
Manush..
The Mats, however, should not un.
derestimate the ability Of Fitz, who
has just the sort Of deceptive knuck-
Ter that will be hard for them to hit
on the nose.
Just what Parmelee and Schumach-
er will do In front Of world series
crowd. q crowd which I have seen
fluster many a smart young pitcher.
remains to be seen. Schumacher has
proved cool head under fire.
The Southpsw Situation
Earl Whitehill may be Joe Cronins
choice for the second game. White
hill is q capable, smooth worker with
curve that should be annoying to
the Giants heavier hitters, all Of
whom bat from the left side Of the
plate-Tery, OFT and O'Doul. The
same may be said Of Stewart, an ex-
perienced, smart southpaw.
Monte Weaver or Bob Burke may be
another starter for Washington.
Weaver has been bothered by q sore
arm part Of the season, but lately has
shown good form.
Burke, . southpaw. has It in him
to become fine pitcher. He turned
IN some nearly perfect games this sea-
son. but was not started often because
Of his tendency to become Wild.
The chief relief pitcher for the
Giants will be Luque, . seasoned vet
eran, while Joe will count on Jack
Russell, whose fine work was Z mate.
