the Answers about what it takes.
And Old TYNE Parish Streeter
said in talking on the subject that
it takes an idea, about ninety per
cent stick-to-it-ness, and the rest
in sense and money. So you see he
had the money figured mighty
low. To press the point he went
on to tell about some folks who
came to this town not long ago
selling goods from houses to house
in a little bundle but whose store
is now one of the biggest in the
state. Then another angle on the
subject was brought out when an
other one said that what the young
Negro has got to learn is that
a house starts off from the foun-
dation and that you cant have the
fruits of success until you've work
ed and struggled and sacrificed to
win success.

IF THERE are any upsets, any
reversals of form, in baseball
this season, the same will come
from the pitching side.
For example, if anything happens
to the Boston Red Sox, the trouble

a flock of games that only savage
hitting and run making saved,
games in which they were ham,
mered into pulps.
Tex Hughson, before the war, was
rated as one of basebalPs best. Last
season, Tex needed the help of Red
Sox bats to save him, game after
game-and SO did Dave FERRIS. In
the seasons opener, the Red Sox
gave Hughson 60 lead, and yet he
couldn't finish.
1t is more than probable that Joe
Cronln will need some extra help
from some of his younger pitchers, if
he is to win again, even if he has
more good ballplayers on his team
than any other rival by two to
one ratio.
Red Sox pitching hardly belongs in
the same class with Cardinal or
Tiger pitching. These are the two
strong stats in baseball, well be-
yond any other collection of right
and left arms.
Newhouser is the best pitcher in
baseball today. Bob Teller is sure
to have good year. But he isn't
sure to have a great year, as great
pitcher as he has been in the
past.
The Tigers have at least four high
grade pitchers who also have strong
supporting aides. So have the Car
dinals.

Durable Hurlers

When Red Munger opened his new
season, with well-pitched game,
you could almost hear Eddie Dyer's
sigh of relief drift in from the Mid
west. For Munger, over 6 feet,
weighing 200 pounds, is the type that
can work in IS or 40 games. He
IS also the type that might win Is.
This means that such slender and
somewhat fragile workmen as Pol
let, Brecheen and Dickson can get
all the rest they need.
1t is quite possible that, with the
addition of Allie Reynolds and the
showing of young johnson, the
Yankees pitching staff will be the
strongest section of the squad. If
they are to get anywhere it will
have to come through with better
than average pitching.
AS far back as 1906, the White
Sox, known as the Hitless Wonders,
proved what good pitching could
do. Their team batting average was
.228. Yet, Ed Walsh, Nick Altrock
and Doc White carried the team to
pennant, and then to a world
series victory over the powerful
Cubs. The White Sox, starting from
last or near last place, won 10
straight in their flag drive. Pitch
ing did it.
In 1914, Rudolph, Tyler and James
pitched the Braves from last place
to the pennant, and then a four.
game sweep in the big series.
In each case you'll notice that
three pitchers did most of the work.
Few pitchers today get half enough
work. A good pitcher should be
worked every fourth day, to keep
his condition and build up his con-
troll.
Credit for Connie Mack's star
teams of some 40 years ago was
always given to his brilliant infeld
I'd give even greater credit to Bend
er, Plank and Coombs, three of
basebal's best. His infield wasn't
great enough to protect an only
average pitching staff.
Worked As Games
All you need, to discover what
the power of good pitching means,
is to look through past world series
records, and see what happened to
Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner and many
other stars up through Ted Williams
and Stan Musial Giant pitchers
held even the mighty Babe to mark
of .118 in one world series.
Most of the great pitchers Of base
ball, those with the stronger arms,
could work through As or so games
a year. This list includes Cy Young,
Matty, johnson, Alexander, Walsh,
Chesbro, Teller, Newhouser and
Dizzy Dean.
The tendency today is to lift a
pitcher the moment he begins to
wobble trifie. This Is often a nec-
essary move. But it doesn't help
the pitchers confidence nor bring
him the work he needs.
In past seasons, looking well back,
good pitchers were allowed to stick.
This accounts for the fact that many
Of them were able to win from 80
to 40 games a season. Matty, Al
exander and johnson turned this
trick at least twice.
Teller insists that the heavy pres
sure he put on his arm last year
from January to December had no
harmful effect. Everyone hopes
Bob is right. But there is also sucn
a thing as overwork.
