OFT Hits Costly Homer.

THE failure of the Senators to pro-
long the series beyond five games
cost the magnates considerable
money.
THAT hit of yours" said Charley
Stoneham Of the Giants to Mel OFT
after the final game, "cost me exactly
100000 and was worth every penny
of it."
As a whole the series was one of the
poorest financially in modern history,
the players pool dropping below $780,
600 for the first time in II years, as the
crowds in Washington never exceeded
$4,000 and the Giants failed to sell out
in two games here.
The Giants winning shares were only
900 each, the Senators $3,400. But
what the National League triumph
lacked In dollars and cents it made up
in satisfaction, wiping out the memory
Of the Yankees four-straight conquest
of the Cubs last Fall, and the wide edge
in domination the American League
has held in the series through the past

An Underrated Club.
THE Giants cleaned up the world

"dE Giants cleaned up the world
series with exactly the same
methods they used to win the
pennant - high-class pitching,
backed up by stout defensive play and
just enough hitting to get the needed
run day after day.
I'VE have a much stronger ball club
in every way" Manager Bill Terry said
upon his return to New York, than
most people think we have. For exam
pie, you hear little about Moore and
Davis in our outfield. Yet they are
two fine ball players-among the best
in either league-fast, both timely hit
ters, both ball hawks. With Mel OFT
they make up as good an outf1eld as
any manager wants.
II don't believe many people know
how valuable two such men as Hughey
Critz and Blondy Ryan happen to be-.
If neither batted .112 I'd still want
them on my club.
81 also feel pretty sure" Terry
continued, that Washington
hasn't looked at the brand Of
pitching we had to offer.
II figured Hubbell and Schumacher
would be good for two games each
and it would certainly have worked out
this way if Cronin hadn't made that
accidental single IN the sixth when he
stopped his swing and tried to pull
away. That put Hal In a hole and gave
Schultz his chance for the home run
that followed.
II sent Luque in because figured his
low breaking curve ball would be just
the thing to follow Schumacher's speed.
Luque is 43 years old. He has been
pitching for % years. Yet he has as
much stuff today for three or four in
nines as he ever had-and can say
that's plenty"
About the Ball
..VY1HAT difference do you think
w the livelier and the deader
ball made?" asked Terry.
"I'll tell you how much difference
he replied. Remember the American
League ball that struck Cronin's bet
and bounded over Ryan's head for q
single? The National League ball
wouldn't have even reached him. Wed

at the ball they used in the American

Terry at TINS pOint 10dS glUeH
credit for running his team per-
tectly.
There was no master minding In
this series at ALL" he said. "All I tried
to use was plain, common sense. There
were certain logical moves to make,
however they worked out, and merely
made these moves. knew they carried
the old law Of percentage.
For example, when Bolton came to
bat with tha bases full in the eleventh
inning Of the fourth game We moved
the infleld back for double play. We
did this because Bolton isn't fast and
otr best chance to pull out of the hole
was to make double play.
at worked that way. It might
have worked differently, but it
still was the only move to make.
All moves you make don't work
out, but you must figure on the '
general average"

~ UR Washington clubs de-
I feat in the recent world
" series to me will ever be
surprising. I'm really still
dazed trying to figure out how
we could take such decisive
beating.
The Giants were great club in the
series. greater even than their most
ardent supporters had believed they
would be. And as the series was played
they certainly deserved to win.
But I'll never be convinced the series
would have gone as 1t did had our
Washington ball club played its real
game
1t seems to be the general opinion
that the Giants pitchers dominated
the series. I'll admit that the result
OF the struggle makes 1t look that way
Yet we had pretty fine pitching in
there, too.
There were only two one sided games
The Giants won one. We took the
other. Each Of the three remaining
games were fine pitching battles all
the way
The Giants averaged little more than
three runs game, just about what
they figured to average on their season
performance in the National League
We averaged only little more than
two runs a game. way below our Amer
lean League season standard.
That still makes the. Giant pitchers
look great. but unfortunately we hap
pened to be in one of our worst bat
ting slumps Of the year. Twice during
the American League campaign we
suffered such slumps and in one OF
them that came late in July We lost
our lead in the race for time
Too bad our Washington club had
to have its worst slump at bat just
at the time when few more hits than
We got would have meant an entirely
different ending to the world series.
We simply were off our batting game
and even when our batters managed
to get hold Of the ball well. more
often than not 1t was lined directly
to some Giant fielder.

Terrys answer was this:

What sort of fellow is Bill Terry,
now riding the crest?
A fine ball player who knows base
ball. A cool. quiet type that doesn't

A manager who knows his men-and
a manager his men all like. Serious.
business-like, thoughtful, who takes
almost nothing for granted. Strong
likes-and strong dislikes-and no hesi-
tation in expressing his opinion as d.
rectly as possible. Straight to the point
