first great team on edge for the world
series with the Chicago Cubs, up to
then the most feared outfit in the
majors. The As won.
Over long stretch, the best minds
Of the American League have pooled
their ingenuity and resources at world
series time. How much effect this
poSt-season "all-for-o -one" policy has
had is, OF course, a matter for con-
lecture. 1t contrasts, however, with
the pickering and jealousy evident
within the National League family
No doubt. part of this factional feel
ing has arisen from the more hotly
contested National League pennant
races. Quite often it has been felt
that the winner just happened to be
luckier at the right time and that, in
fact, the best club had not won.
National Leaguers Bitter.
1t will be recalled that in 1928,
while the Yankees were in the midst
Of polishing of the Cardinals four in
a row. Babe Ruth brought storm of
abuse upon his head in ST. Louis by
saying, in effect. the Cards were no
better than third-place club. and
didn't belong in the World Series.
Such has been the feeling among Ma
tional Leaguers at various times, that
managers of pennant clubs have
abruptly rejected suggestions from
fellow-pilots. The only similar in
stance We can recall, on the American
League side, was when the AS of 1881
refused to take any advice on how to
handle Pepper Martin and lost the
series to the Cards.
You have read stories of how the
Yankees of 1927 "frihtened" the
Pirates into absorbing four straight
lickings by a pre-series exhibition of
slugging power by Ruth, Gehrig & Co.
The fact is. as can testify from first
hand observation, that the Pirates
we're groggy from the effects of a
terrific pennant fight that wasn't de-
cided until the day before the regular
season ended. They staged celebra-
ton on the way home from Cincinnati
that risked broken limbs and damaged
at least one important pitching arm.
Even SO, in the series, it wasn't that
Evening star., 1938-04-01

that the New York club has contribut-
ed chiefly to the 2l-13 margin of the
Americans in world series competition,
and (2) that outside of the series in
which the Yanks have participated
since the war. the interleague battle
has been pretty much of standof.
The factors affecting world series
results are numerous and conflicting.
Big league magnates, for example,
have twice recognized the inconclu-
siveness Of best four-out-of- seven
series between any two clubs by length
ening the limit to nine games. Aside
from this technical point. it is true
that relative condition. psychological
factors and the breaks" have con-
tributed as much to world series out
come as the twin jor assets of power
or pitching.
The Americans not only have had
the happy faculty of producing more
super teams" such as the Athletics
Of two eras and the Boston Red Sox
as well as the Yankees, but they have
established more effective esprit
de corps. For example, in 1910, an
all-star American League team was
put together to keep Connie Mack's

they were outclassed so much as it
was that they outfumbled the Yankees.
Last year the Giants had the jitters
and were three down before they put
up anything like an argument. The
Yankees. on the other hand. after
staggering around most of the final
month of the season without much
incentive, played flawless baseball.
They did not look the same team that
had dropped an entire series to the
lowly Athletics in August.
Contrary to a general conception,
again based upon what the Yankees
have achieved, pitching has been more
important than batting power in giving
American Leaguers the world series
edge. The records show that each
side has outhit the other on II occa-
sions. Remember the White Sox, hit
less wonders" of 1906? They beat
the Cubs in the world series. Re-
member the Boston Braves of 1914?
They achieved miracle" by taking
four in a row from the favored Ath-
letics.
If there's anything to cycles or the
law of averages in baseball, it's the
National Leagues turn, Yankees or no
Yankees. The decade of l908-l7 saw
the Americans just as dominant in
the world series as they have been
IN the last 10 years. In between the
Nationals held their own. In fact,
National Leaguers still like to recall,
in the midst of current gloom, that
the Yankees got no better than one
tie in string of nine consecutive
games against of the Giants Of 1928.
Maybe the tide of spring training vic
tory, favoring the Nationals this year
is an omen. Maybe it's an illusion,
too.
