By JIMMY JORDAN CHICAGO, Sept. 23 — (AP) —-

Whcn and if the Chicago Cubs lwing into World Series competition, are going

American League fans to have something to marvel bout when

Andy Pafko and Harry (Peanuts) Lowery swing into action.

Probably more so than a well- oalanced and fast infield, that trio or fly-chasers is more responsible for the Cubs‘ pennant drive than any other single factor.

True. the Chicagoans have had good pitching, in fact have had the best pitching staff in the lea- gue with such a first line as Claude Passeau, Hank Wyse, Hank Boro- wy Ray Prim and Paul Derringer. and with Paul Erickson. Hy Van- deuberg, Bob Chipman. Lon War- necke and Ray Starr to handle not only relief duties but an occasion- al starting assignment.

Bul: Charlie Grimm places a 10.‘. of emphasis on his outfield. He rates those three ahead of the great. Cub outfield of HMS-Riggs. Stephenson. Klki Cuyler and Hack Wilson—on the defensive side.

“They cover as much ground, and they whip the ball in quicker with dendli-er ihrotvs. That's important. It cuts off many extra base hits." Grimm says.

They cut off many extra runs. too. All season long players were left stranded on third base when one of the three took a fly ball for a second out. and then with a fast, accurate throw prevented the run- oer from scoring after the catch. And others have been nipped at the oiate trying to score on that play. too.
