DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, JULY 9.

IBUTU PBLSS SPORTS le.—i ’

The success of the New York Yankees against their American league opponents this season has been due to heavy hitting and psychology, rath er than to pitching. Some of the best men on Miller i Hoggin’s hurling stuff have been inI < Hued to take things easy and let ! Babe Ruth and the rest of “Murderers' . Row" do the work. George Plpgras of Clayton, Minn., Is one pitcher who has continued to work his head off for the world's champions. As a result, it is probable that George will win between 25 [ and 30 ball games this season and ’ lead the American league twirlers. The youngster has not taken nd- ; vantage of the Yankees’ heavy hitting. but has been bearing down and i turning in some first class pitching I performances. Os course, there have I been games this spring in which the ! fact that the world s champions were I amassing a dozen runs or so was a ! great help to Plpgras. But he has not been guilty of Indifferent work such as characterized certain appearances of Waite Hoyt, the blonde" mortician. and Herb Pennock, the southpaw farmer. Tallest Yankee Hurler Pipgras IS the tallest as well as the most effective of the New York pitchers, standing 6:01% and weighing 187 pounds. This height and weight tends to make his fast hall effective, but George- depends more upon a fast curve and a deceptive change of pace ; to win his ball games. While" it was not entirely appreciated at the time, Pipgras was the chief , factor in the clean sweep made by j the Yankees in the world series of 1927 r The world’s champions had won the first game at Pittsburgh by a margin of one run. poor fielding hampering the Pirates, who wore, however, full of fight. Pennock, star of the New York pitching staff, was suffering from a hemonhage, the result .of having been hit by a pitched hall in practice. Wiley Moore was the likely choice for the second game, but Huggins selected Pipgras. Has Brilliant Future Here is what John B. Foster, editor of the official baseball guide, said about the game: “This game had its sui prise, the greatest surprise up to that time. It was the high grade skill of Pipgras, the young New York pitcher who held complete mastery over the Pittsburgher and whose- success undoubtedly went far to increase the confidence of the New York players that would win. “Indeed, from the time of Pipgras’ success some of I lie more sanguine of the New York players began to ta'k cheei fully of winning 'four straight,' which they did.” Pipgras is certain to get another chance, possibly more than one, in tlie world sei ies next fall. If he keeps on at his present pace, he may be accorded the honor of working the opening game, although it is iloubt-
