Joe Undecided on Pitcher.

HDEN11l4 Oh washington OpVH-
pitcher remained a secret. Crorc
himself insists he hasn't got {
slightest idea whether he'll nomina
right handler. or cne CT his left han6c
Earl Whitehill OF Wally Steve !
There's small chance now that -
Senators will call on that expert math-t
matician, Monte Weaver, for first g2irt
DUTY.
Some base ball critics think Crcni1
will send CroWder in against Hubbsld
hoping to beat the Giants ace ana
shatter their morale at the same time
Admittedly the Giants are plac-
inc their main reliance in their
great left handler, and his defeat
1uould ledue them small hopes OF
thinning the series.
Cronin, all season long, has made q
habit of calling on the rubber armed
Crowder every time the going got
little tough and he may follow
"hunch' and toss the General in
there tomorrow.
Another school OF base ball thought
inclines to the belief that young Joe
and the senators "Old Fox" Clark
Griffith, will prefer either the left
handed Whitehill or the equally left
handed Stewart on the theory that. a.
southpaw will throttle Terry and Mel
OFT, the two battering rams OF the
Giants otherwise anaemic attack. Both
Terry and OFT hit from the wrong"
side of the plate.
Crowder Hides Curve.
THERES a suspicion, too, that
Cronin has been taking the
Giants "spies" for buggy ride
the last few days. He used all his
pitching aces in last weeks series with
the Yankees while Terry and the rest
OF the National League champions sat
m the stands and took notes, but
there's strong evidence that the WASH
ington f1inging staff uncovered no
secrets. Crowder, for instance, pitched
nothing but high balls against the
Yankees and took lacing. His best
pitch is a low curve, but the Giant
scouts didn't see him use it.
The best guess seems to be that
Cronin will start with Whitehill and
follow with Crowder, Stewart and
Weaver in that order.
Any rain that may fall after the first
game will be so much gravy" for the
Giants, the experts figure.
A postponement after the OPEN
Ing DdstiSs ShCy punt Out, Will
give Hubbell an extra day of rest
before he goes to the mound
again in the fourth game.
A couple of postponements, in the
right places, will give Terry a chance
to start Hubbell three times. He might
anyway for he's been the workhorse of
the Giants staff all year.
After the first game Terry probably
will call on young Hal Schumacher and
then Burly Fred FitZsimmons, right
handlers both. before returning to Hub
bell again. At present Terry's pitching
plans involve only these three. Roy
Parmelee, fast but wild, might get a
whack at the American Leaguers as a
starting finger but that's doubtful. He
probably will be reserved for relief duty
along with the ancient 'Dolf Luque and
Herman Bell
All the regulars Of both teams except
Johnny VergeZ, third sacker of the
Giants, will be in action. Travis jack
son. his charley horses tanned, will
replace Vergez and round up an infield
composed Of Terry, Hughey Critz and
John (Blondy) Ryan. In the outfield
Will be OFT, George Davis and Joe
Moore. Gus Mancuso will catch.
For the Senators, Joe Kuhel Buddy
Myer, Cronin and Ossie Blues will take
care of the inner works with Heinie
Manush, Goose Goslin and Fred Schultz
In the outf1eld and Luke Sewell catch
ing.
