BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Sept. 81 G.N.S0.
They've been telling you for the
last few weeks that the Giants
have a great chance in this 1888
world series because they have
the pitching, but that's a slight
distortion of an otherwise incon-
teStable fact. The Giants have a
great chance in this series be-
cause almost any ball club has a
great chance in almost any
series. They also have the pitch
ing.
But to make this statement is
to say tacitly that, comparatively
speaking, the Senators haven't,
and that's not consistent with the
facts. Comparatively speaking,
the Senators pitching can't miss
against the kind of hitters the
New York ball club will send into
this series. One regular, Critz,
hits .244. Another, Peel, hits
.232. The bright young man at
shortstop, Mr.. Ryan, has greatly
improved himself during the late
weeks of the campaign. He,
therefore, now is hitting .232..
MancusO .264
The outfielders, Moore, OFT,
O'Doul and Davis hit .296. .28O,
.28O and .265 respectively. The
catcher, Mancuso, is .264 man.
So, actually, the supposed su-
periority of the Giant pitching
is no more than a delusion,
based upon fragile and unsound
reasoning. The pitching, in fact
will be about even for the very
reason that the hitting isn't and
won't be.
These New York averages, of
course, have been made against
the National Leagues notorious
picnic special" ball that can't
be hit hard enough to break an
engagement. But this feature
gains rather than loses prestige
and Importance by the fact that
four of the seven games are to
be played with the National
League ball in use.
Banjo HitterS
Barring a few exceptions, the
Giants frankly are lot of banjo
hitters, and even a bad staff can
look good against that kind. The
Washington pitchers are far from
bad. Stewart. Russell, Burke and
Weaver are nobody's chumps when
the checks are down.
Whitehill is one of the ranking
stars of the year. AS for Crowder,
it's Walter Johnson's word that
he is the best pitcher in baseball,
although Mr.. johnson could be
very much mistaken about this,
and it still wouldn't greatly mat
ter.
After all, it isn't difficult to
stop some hitters who can't seem
to start.

Not Criticizing

81 am not writing to criticize
these men who know the game
and could probably give reasons
for their stand against this
scheme. But do think that
before cOnsigning any such pro-
position to the limbo of forgot
ten things, they should discard
their prejudices long enough to
let the fans pass their final
judgment on the idea.
$50 why not let the fans
voice their opinion, to be taken
as final by use of ballot. The
Washington Times is usually
the first to start such move
ments and if it were done sue
cessfully here who knows but
what it may spread to other big
league towns?
"After all, every baseball club
wants to make money first Of
all and it's a dead cinch they
can't all win the pennant. And
if the losing teams supporters
lose interest why not draw them
back to something new and help
the losing clubs stay out of the
red?

Many in Favor

But I find in conversations
and correspondence with and
from the faithful congregation
of this temple of Sports" that
the idea for some type of inter
league competition to break the
monotony of the April October
major league seasons, has
caught the fancy of many peo-
pie, however cool to the "med-
dleSome suggestions" organized
baseball itself may be.
A very fair-minded and unself-
lsh viewpoint along this line is
taken by Kelton S. Virnelson,
S446 Connecticut Ave-, even
though he does not take upon
himself matters which are os-
tenSibly the worries of the club
owners.
Folks, meet Mr.. Virnelson,
who has some sound logic, GER
tainly from the fan viewpoint:
"Although all of sporting
Washington is principally con-
cerned with the approaching
world series, and none more
elated over our teams success
than 1, there is another phase
of the national pastime that
should be heated without much
further delay.

Would See All

'In my case 1 know I would
try to see every team in the
National League at least once
under the proposed plan and /
believe all other baseball en-
thusiasts would make the same
attempt.
81 can't to save me see any
thing wrong in an idea that
would more than likely make
money, please every one and
still be baseball. And isn't the
public the chief one to keep
satisfied? So why not the bal
lot?"
Very we'll, Mr.. Virnelson, if
there is any genuine disposition
on the part of local fans to
want this issue settled by bal
lot, this newspaper will be quite
happy to do a bit of pioneering
along the lines suggested.
OF course, there is no as
surance that baseball will take
any cognizance of such a bal
lot, but whether it does or not,
the outcome will be interest

"It has nothing to do with

est the proposal for interleague

at the mid-pOint of the season

the financial life saver of the

GR|FFS. ONLY
HALF GAME
A v A !
BY GARRETT WATERS

There's been many a tale told
about the merriment the Griff-
men have displayed following q
triumph in a ball game this sea-
son.
Well sir, today it must be told
again as the Griffmen were full
of that "high school" joy again
following yesterdays contest in
which the st. Louis Browns we're
defeated by the decisive score Of
13 to S.
The reason for all the merri-
ment in this instance? Take it
easy now, fans, take it easy. The
triumph put Manager C1onin
and his gang Just half game
away from the good old gonfalon.
All of which means that today
they can clinch it by defeating
the same Browns in what will
be the final contest of the cur
rent series.
EntruSt Stewart
In order to make it certain,
Manager Cronin has announced
that he was going to entrust the
pitching responsibilities to Lefty
Walter Stewart today. FIe relied
upon General Alvin Crowder yes
terday and the North Carolinian
came through with flying colors
by holding the Browns to five
hits.
Stewart's chances of turning
the trick this afternoon are ex-
ceedingly bright as the left
handler has pitched steady base
ball most every time he's had
to face his former pals this
year. And to back this up, the
left-hander has developed into
quite a money pitcher this sea-
son as his timely efforts against
the New York Yankees have
proved in several instances of the
past.
1t was Walter, it will be re-
membered, who pitched that 8
to 2 game against the Yanks in
the second game of that ever
memorable double-header at New
York on July 4, while it was
Stewart again and again who
was handed the responsibilities of
holding the same Yanks in
several later games when the
Griffs just had to have victories
or else give up the ship.
Needed Tonic
But to get back to the merri.
ment of the Griffs. Defeated two
days in a row by the Browns just
at an hour when they wanted to
win most, yesterdays triumph
was just the tonic needed to set
everyone in another of those joy
GUS moods again. The boys sang
and danced, smiled and joshed
with each other and otherwise
made themselves completely
merry over the fact that they had
finally broken the spell the
Browns had held over them and
that only one more triumph was
needed before the pennant was
clutched, gobbled, swallowed or
what-have-you.
The actual clinching can be
done today. That makes the day
a very large one in the lives Of
the boys and naturally there'll be
plenty of excitement out at Mr..
Clark Griffith's bailwick this
afternoon. Will the occasion be
complete? The "boys" are count
ing the hours and hoping Eyes,"
