MR.. TWITCHELL HNALYzES

ssT LOOK FOR the most exciting
race in years in both baseball
big leagues" declared Elmer
Twitchell, eminent sports fan. pi-
nochle player and antique nutpick
collector, today. IF you wish my
analysis, based largely on getting
the games by radio and television,
here it is. Beer, cigarettes, the
Yanks, motor oils, Dem Buns and
various breakfast foods will fight it
out to the finish in both leagues.
and any n Of them can win.
SIT has been a very good race
SO far, with the American
league q little faster with the
clear cut commercials, but
with the National league clear
~ outclassing it with the more
informal testimonials to popu-
lar products. l don't recall q
baseball race when the appeals
to radio fans to hurry to the
icebox for a cold drink were
done with such spirit and form.
"In both major leagues the boys
who bat out the commercials were
in there trying at all times and
they rarely failed to come through
in the pinches. The game, it seems
to me, is much faster than it used
to be. When I was a boy, a game
would 60 on all afternoon with no
reference to a cigar, a lubricant
or a drink. The emphasis seemed
to be on garters and cathartics all
via the old-fashioned billboards.
Advertising as a handmaiden OF
the national game was minimized.
You could take it or leave it.
""Today from the opening cry
of PLAY BALI the contest tin
giles with sales talks. They are
not only using the liveIier ball
but Iivelier jingles and selling
arguments.
"For years I took my baseball
without having my sales resistance
knocked over the fence, but today
it happens to me in every inning.
"Hitting, pitching and base run
ming have improved tremendously
in baseball. So have enunciation
and merchandising. The twirling is
much better. The announcer throws
the commercial with terrific speed
but also has a change of pace.
"They say that whoever is
ahead July 4 viii finish as the
pennant winners. The Dodgers
and a couple of breweries were
out front On that date this year
in one league and the Yanks
and tobacco away out ahead in
the American. I look for no
great change.
"The final result may be in
fluenced somewhat by mishaps.
One of the top announcers in the
American league has developed
Qualification of the vocal delivery
and may be out a few weeks. And
two announcers in the National are
out with lame tonSils."
"What do you think of the Ath-
1etics?" we asked.
ST would have to know more
about the product they sponsor"
replied Mr.. Twitchell.

Montana'S 1949 commercial
apple crop is estimated at 49,
900 bushels, compared with
214,000 bushels last year, the
federal bureau of agricultural
economics has reported. The
reduction is blamed on the

Georgetown raped out IA hits
TO Nays six, but one of Nays
was a pinch single by Killeen that
scored the winning run in the
last half Of the tenth. 1t was at
that point that Bishop, one-time
Philadelphia AS star, and Judge
began their mental duel.
Hugh Murphy, who pitched a
nice game for the losers. got into
trouble when Bixby laid down a
safe bunt and Hawkins was safe
on an infield error. Boney sacri-
rficed and Langenberg was passed
purposely,s loading the sacks. At
that point Murphy gave way to
Bill Carroll, while Killeen came in
to bat for Mullaney with the
aforementioned result.
Naples and Hardiman paced
The Georgetown attack with four
and three hits, respectively, in five
trips to the plate. No Navy batter
got more than one safety.

Baseball observers In the Shibe
Park press box couldn't help think

Only a year ago the Red sox
were heavy favorites to win the
pennant. They opened the season
in their home park against the
Athletics, rated q second division
team. On the mound for the AS
was rookie who had more battle
scars than baseball victories.
The rookie. Lefty Lou Brissie,
won one end of a Patriots Day
double-header. The AS also won
the other game and the following
day made 1t three In a row.
Boston never untracked itself.
They lost five In q row between
May 6 and 10. They finally hit
bottom on May 81 with q record
Of "A victories and % defeats. The
proud Red Sox dropped TO last
place In the American League.
Mccarthy finally got his team
going and the Sox climbed into the
first division to stay on June 10.
With little or no pitching. Boston
batted its way into a final day tie
with Cleveland for the pennant
and lost out in q playoff game.
The general comment heard
during the winter was that Bos-
ton couldn't possibly get OF to
as miserable q start again this
season.
1T can't happen again." they
said.
Well, Boston opened another
season Tuesday. and the same
Athletics pitcher, Brissie. stood
them on their ears and won, 3-2.

Mccarthy watched Coleman
load the bases in the eighth in

Pesky and Ted williams coming
up. He watched Pesky foul out.
