BUNCH of the boys we're whoop-

A ing it up in Cleveland's half
OF the ninth inning The bases
were full, there were none out and the
New York Yankees 3-to-2 lead
seemed in grave danger from this last
minute surge by the Indians.
But out from the shadows that lay
at the foot of the right-field stands
came a sturdy young man, alternately
tugging at the peak of his cap and
hitchinghis trousers. Uptot thepitcher's
box he strode and the troubled Yankee
infeld gathered about him as he took
a few warm-up tosses.
Finally, he waved them back to
their positions and. firing his pitches
low and swift, he made the first batter
bounce into a force play at home,
famed the second, and forced the
third to lift short fly to the center
fielder to end the rally, the inning,
and the game without a runs being
scored.
And thus Johnny Murphy. ever
ready relief pitcher of the Yankees,
had saved another game for the world
champions and had once again demon
strated the vital importance of the
Minute Men of the Mound. Seldom
mentioned by the fans and press when
the Yankees praises are sung, Murphy
nevertheless is as necessary to the
perennial pennant parades of this
wonder team as Joe DiMaggio or Red
Ruffing or Bill Dickey, because no
league championship has been won
without the presence of great relief
pitcher. The pennant-winning Detroit
Tigers of "a and '35 had Elon Hog
sett; the champion Washington Sena-
tors of 1888 had Jack Russell; the
1888 New York Giants had Adolfo
Luque, and so on.
The casual observer may overlook
the relief pitcher because he hardly
ever stands out in the pitching per-
centages, but your major-league club

of dollars for good relief; and the
managers, who watch the bull pen as
anxiously as the box; and the weary

there was no need for his

down and waited for trouble
to brew. Every time a
couple of runners got on
base, he had to leap up.
peel off his sweater, and
throw furiously to the bull
pen catcher. Thus, when
he was finally called upon
to stem the rally, he had
pitched practically as many
balls as the man he relieved.

They all appreciate the
fact that the relief pitcher
works under the most try

are usually crowded with
enemy runners when he
comes into the game. The
opposing team. too. is usu-
ally ''hot" - that is, its
hitters are on a rampage
and when the dikes are
broken it is a heart breaking
job to stop the flood.
Nor does the relief pitcher
come into the game as phys

suppose. As a rule he has
been working all afternoon
out in the bull pen. You see.
