FEELS CONFIDENT

This year 1 think we'll take
them" he said. I've never gone out
on a limb like this before but
then I've never felt so confident.
You know this game, in the ma
jority of the past 10 years, has been
a battle between American league
power and National league pitching.
Well. just look at the averages and
you'll see that this year we still
have the pitching-and we've also
got the brawn.'
Frick was gioatlng over the play
ers named by the managers of both
leagues, for the game under the
lights at Shibe Park.
There isn't any question i'll my
mind that our pitchers compare with
theirs" he said. You couldn't ask
for much better group of pitchers
than Mort Cooper, Johnny Wander
Nicer, Claude PaSseau, HoWie Pollet,
Max Lanier. Al Javery and Rip
Sewell."
But his greatest delight was the
fact that for once his circuit ap-
parently had an edge in power.
