YANKS STRONGER THAN GIANTS IN THE BOX

By HENRTRTTAWIELL

("piled Press Sports Editor)

Sl-ZW‘ YORK. Oct. (t-tiivic»: the New York Giants. the full advant- age of Ilt- donut it infglit b assumed that on the offense and defense of the infield and tbvflout- field the National League champ- ions have at least a’ small margin of superiority over the Yankee American League pennant winners.

Beyond all doubt. however, inso- far as season records may be ex- pected to hold good during the world's series, the pitchers of the Yankees are n vastly snparitn- lot to those of the Giants.

How much more and better pitchers will be a factor in decid- ing the baseball championship of the world. only the series wil be able to prove.

Last Year the samc vaunted strength of the Yankees in the box did deliver a championship and the Giants. playing real baseball behind comparatively poor pitch- ers, won the series.

in Sam Jones. Waite lioyt. Herb Peanock, Joe Bush and Roi.)

' Shawkey the Yankees have pc r-

haps the most formidable stuff o!’ pitchers that a baseball club has ever possessed. There may liiiYl: been better pitchers on other tennis in the past and there may be better pitchers now in the major leagues. but there never have been more better pitchers on any club.

Against them the Giants staff.

consisting oi’ Jack Scott. Art Nehf, Mule Wetsuit. - Rosy Ryan and Jack Bentley, suffers by comparison. At his

best, each one ‘of the Giant pitch- ers would be n match for one of the Yankees hurlers. but the weakness of the McGraw staff coii- sists of its lack of consistency.

McGraw can never be certalp when he makes a-selection that he will not-have to make a substltu tiou in the box before the end oi‘ 8n liming. ‘The erratic form shown by the Giunt pitchers though two seasons has lcd "wist- cracks" to be made recently that Jones would pitch tho opening game of the series for the Yankees and that Scott. Nehf. Ryan and Jonnnrd would for the Giants.

Coming _lnto the series last. fall, National League supporters looked with distress upon the weak pitching staff of the (limit-i and considered us most ominous iii:- apparent superiority ' oi’ the American League champions in the box. it was- predicted that all the Yanks would have to do would lir- to toss the glove of one of their star pitchers in the box and the Giants would be beaten.

No such a thing happened. The pitchers of both teams pulled unexpected form. The (limit pitch- ers went like champions and the star Ysnkcc hurlcrs were complete busts.

The same pro-series condition: exist this yenr and it is impdsiblt- not be followed that so completely turned over all calculations last fall.

lf anything the Yankee pitching staff is stronger this your and has more variation.

Sam Jones. who was of llttlo valuo last season, was one -of the best pitchers in the major leagues this year. He has been so skillfully handled that he maintained his form through the entire season and was most effective at the end of the schedule.

Herb Pennock. the former 130st-

on southpaw. has also had a great season. The Yanks had no left- handei- to shoot at the Giants last your. but that was not iniicii of n handicap as the National League

champions have never been a mark for southpaw. Pennock, however. will he a

valuable addition to the team. Waite Hoyt is arriving more and more as he gets older. He has all tho tnorchanical qualifications to bocoinc a great pitcher. but it was not until that he shovrcd the dov- elopnieiit oi’ a tendency to think along with his arm. lloyt is a game kid and an experienced vot- a-ran in spite of his yoars. Ho may be the stair pitcher of the sorlcs. Bob Shuwkey is well along in years, but he is n great "money" pitcher ‘where his superlative steadiness makes him a most val- ,unble pitcher in a tight place. Shawkey has a lot of good games in his arm and he has been worked carefully all season. He may be right for the series. ' Joe Bush did not have as good a season this year as last, but he is a fine pitcher and a valuable man on the offense. He is sure to be started in one game, and if he is right the game ought to be in. Jack Scott was the hero of the series inst year when he took thi- arm that had been given up as. hopeless by t\vn uispor league clubs into the box and slioutout the Yankees. Perhaps it was luck that he got away with it, but he is a big strong fellow. a cold weather

pitcher and when right he i: there. - Bill Ryan is the ace of the

Client pitching staff he is sure tr start at least one game. He is not sure to finish it. however, and neither is Art Nehf. the leading southpaw of the tcain, who has a very disappointing season.

Mule Watson, secured from the Braves early in the season, is a Rood pitcher. when he is in shape but he hasn't been in condition to do his best during most of the season. .

if there is to be a big hero among the Giants pitchers. it is as likely as not to be Jack Bentley, the 865,000 southpaw, purchased from Baltimore. If he (hasn't win a COlIDIe of flames in the box, he is liable to break up a Couple (u; a pinch-hitter. Bentley is a good pitcher.

Pitcher for pitcher, the Yank; are a vastly superior team; but with no means of ascertaining. 'li(‘l'(‘ is no reason to believe that tho reversal of form shown last '0 Dredict that the same form w“; year will not be repeated.
