PITCHERS ARE WELL MATCHED Writer Says Yankee And (,’ul) Staffs Appear Almost Evenlv Matched (Editor's note: This Is the fourth ! of a series coin pa rhig the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs. To* day. tlie pitchers. Tomorrow. the managers). Chicago. Sept 23 -U.R) It'S going t take tli world ties to sett e whether tlie New York Yankees or Chicago Cubs have tlie best pitching staff. .National league partisans stoutly assort that the Cubs' staff of Warneke. Basil. Root, Malone. Crimes and Tinning has no equal. But American league supporters loudly , proclaim the Yankees' group of Gomez. Ruffing. Allen. I’ipgras, ; Pennock and Brown the foremost, pitching array in baseball. If you believe in figures the Yan-1 kei s’ big tour of Gomez, Ruffing. Allen and Pipgras has a shade on the Cubs’ quartet of Warneke. Bush. Root and Ma’.one. Through games of yesterday the Yanks quartet has won 75 games and 1 >st 26 as against a record of 71 victories and 43 losses for the Cubs' four afes. But it may be a serious mistake to compare the two pitching staffs on their season's record, inasmuch aa the Cubs' staff didn’t hit its real stride until Charlie Grimm became team manager in early August. While the Cubs’ pitchers reached their peak during the la.st two months of the season, the Yankees' pitchers have shown definite signs of slipping. The Athletics pounded Red Ruffing for an 8-4 victory Wednesday, and Lefty Gomez was knocked out of the box by the White Sox last week. Red Faber. White Sox veteran who has spent 19 summers pitching in the American league, remarked after seeing the Yankee pitchers in action here last week: "The New York chili's pitchers aren’t in shape. They’re loafing and have lost their form. Gomez doesn’t look to me like he can go nine innings. The Yankees are in for a surprise if they expect to beat the Cubs with the pitching they showed against the Sox.” The probable pitching choices tor the first three games are. First game-—Guy Bush, Cubs, vs. Red Ruffing. Yankees. Second game Charley Root. Cubs vs. Lefty Gomez. Yankees. Third game—Lon Warneke, Cubs, vs. Johnny Allen, Y'ankees. That lineup seems fairly certain,

except the Cubs’ pitcher for the second game If Bush ‘should win the opener. Grimm might decide to L'limble on Burleigh Grimes, pitching hero of last year's world series, in the second game. Grimes has i been bothered by illness all season. ..nd may not get into the series at all. Guy Bush, who ha proved him self a great money pitcher, must , be accorded an even chance to bent j I the Yankees at least once. The two leading pitchers of their respective leagues are scheduled to j i work the opening game in Chicago. Allen, who has won 17 games and , lost 3 in his first year in the ma-1 jors, is calculated to be most effective in Chicago because of the I center field bleachers which form - a handicap to the batters. Warn-| eke. who his won 22 games and I est 6, has allowed only 7s runs in - 273 innings, or an average of about . runs per game. The biggest haw in the Cubs' staff ! is the fact that it is made up entirely of right-handers. Five of | the Yankees regulars. Ruth. Geh-! rig, Dickey. Combs and Sewell, are ‘ I left-handed hitters, and as a rule) 'murder righthand pitching. To balance this defect the Cubs ■ have two great screw ball pitchers! in Bush and Warneke. and the Yan- I kees' moat formidable batters are | ! know n to be helpless against this i type of pitching at its best. The Yankees have all the edge ' in previous world series experience. I l as they have three pitchers. Pip- ! ' gras. Pennock ami Wiley’ Moore. : .who have never lost a world series ' i game. I The extreme outsiders who may be unexpectedly shoved into duty are Bud Tinning the Cubs rookie. I ami Walter Brown, the Yankees' i recruit.

THE first year in the Majors! is usually a tough one for the , rookie pitcher, but judging! by the records made by a group of ; youngsters. 1932 has been an excep-' tion. The American and National Leagues boast of several “finds” of the pitching mound. There’s John-1 ny Allen of the Yanks, Bob Brown! of the Braves, Lon Warnecke of the Cubs, and Professor Monte Weaver rvf the Washington Senators. Youngsters all and rookies, but they have blazed a trail which in many ways surpasses that of stars of other days and establishes something for yearlings of the future to shoot at. To Johnny Allen, of the Yankees, we must award the prize for the I greatest record ever established by
