Let's see, whom have we got? Well,
Curt Davis hasn't pitched for a
month. The Cards clinched the pen
nant on August 80, and Manager
Blades decided to give Curt long
rest. That means the lean, but skill
full right-hander is fresh and ready.
Some of the critics don't seem to
think that his soft stuff will hold
the Yanks, but the last softball
pitcher to face the Yankees was
Dizzy Dean. in 1888. and with moth
ing on the ball he almost beat them.
Why don't those critics let Blades do
