CUBS’ CHANCE DEPENDS UPON DIZZY DEAN

Accuracy May Stop Yanks Who Thrive on Fast Balls

Bill Lee Also Regarded as Mainstay; Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing Top New York Hurlers.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 4—The biggest “sucker” deal of the baseball season may make suckers out of the mighty New York Yankees. Everybody laughed at P. K. Wrigley, Cubs’ owner, when he shelled out $185,000 and three players for Dizzy Dean. It looked like the biggest chump deal since the city slicker sold the Brooklyn Bridge to a

hayseed. Yet it may make the Cubs All Dean did this year with his ailing arm was to win seven games but he won one of the big ones— that vital first game which started the Pittsburgh Pirates to their downfall. Now shrewd baseball men from both leagues figure if the Cubs are to throttle the vaunted Yankee machine Dean will have to be the key man. His fast ball is gone, but not his cocky swaggering air and his unerring accuracy. He can still throw the nothing ball like old Howard Ehmke of the Atnletics did against the Cubs themselves in the 1929 World Series. The Yanks thrive on speed. The pitchers who've had the most success against them in the American League have been those who throw slow tantalizing stuff and seldom walk a man. Oscar Vitt, Cleveland manager, who knows what the Yanks can do to speed-ball pitching, summed up the prevailing opinion voiced in numerous hotel lobby huddles by predicting that Dean would be the vital factor. “Because of Dean's presence—I don’t care what they say about his arm—I look for a hard series with the Yanks winning in six or seven | tough games,” Vitt said. “I wouldn't

world’s champions.

serve them. I'm telling you boys watch Mr. Dean.” Two pitchers can win a World Series and the Cubs are banking on Dean and Big Bill Lee, who won 22 games, more than any other pitcher in the majors, to turn the trick. Leas is the Cubs’ ace, the man who biazed the trail to the pennant in that whirlwind finish. The Cubs’ third pitcher is Clay Bryant, who relys principally on speed. Because of that reason and the fact that he is an untried youngster in World Series competition he may not be a vital factor. The wise boys are predicting that when Bryant starts against the Yanks he won't last five innings. The Yanks’ two top pitchers are Lefty Gomez, who has never bowed in World Series competition, and Red Ruffing, the big righthander who won 21 games. Gomez, who beat the Cubs in 1932 and the Giants twice each in 1936 and 1937, will be gunning for his sixth straight World Series triumph. If he suce ceeds it will be a new record. Only other pitchers to win five World Series games without a defeat were Herb Pennock and Jack Coombs.

Ruffing has two World Series triumphs to his credit, beating the Giants last year and the Cubs in 1932. In the 1936 opener he was beaten by Carl Hubbell. The other Yankee pitchers who may figure in the series are Monte Pearson, who pitched a no-hit, norun game during the season, and Bump Hadley, a wise old hombre who may get the nod for the third game. The Yanks’ relief man is Johnny (Grandma) Murphy, who figured in three innings of relief pitching against the Giants the past two years. Behind Lee, Dean and Bryant the Cubs have Charley Root, the 39-year-old veteran who pitched the National League pennant clincher; Tex Carleton, who has a sore arm; Larry French, the southpaw who experienced an unlucky year, losing 19 games; Vance Page, a rookie, and Jack Russell, an American League castoff. None of them figure to get into the series except in relief roles,
