National League and wh; Thit’ was the gist of the questionnaire I sent out. Favor Bucs Eight of the stars to whom I wrote |came out flatly in favor of the Pitts- | burgh Pirates. Three of them lik al to win, de- the chances of the Giants spite an unfavorable schedule. One still figured the St. Louis Cardinals as the best bet. Not one picked the "1 to capture the National League flag. Perhaps it would be fitting and proper for me to state that the 12 stars to whom I wrote for an expert opinion were not members of the four ob- tained from the outstanding pla of the second division, the als clubs. ; Greater batting power and 2 good pitching staff were the two real r sons assigned for ‘the preferenc shown the Pirates. The offensive strength of the Giants had a stron: appeal, but the feeling was prevalent J ‘that the pitching wouldn’t hold up. The pitching strength of the Card- inals found favor with most of the stars, but the unsettled condition of the infield was regarded xs too great a handicap. Not one of the stars gave Chicago a first choice rating to win the Na- tional League pennant, despite the fact that the Cubs have been in front most of the way. That was regarded as against them, Cubs Have ‘Shot Bolt’ “The Cubs have made a great fight. t,| Personally, I would like to see them win, for it would be a good thi for baseball, but I believe they ha most of the renlies to my quer’ started. Then they would go on to tell why they didn’t think the Cubs could win. Out in front too long; a tough break in losing a half dozen games 4 in the final inning on the last east- # ern trip, too much of a strain on the pitching staff that all year has been forced to go the limit to win close- score games, and a certain lack’ of [the poise that comes only with ex- perience and is ‘-cking on the rath- Pet. | er youngthful Cub team-—these were -616| reasons used against the Cubs. The dozen player-experts regarded '576|the chances of the Pittsburgh club as by far the best In figuring the 96|New York Giants, all of them ex- pressed a wholesome respect for the managerial ability of John iraw. Most of them seemed to think that if Boh O'Farrell had had Tommy Thevenow at short all year, things might have been different. All seemed to think Pittsburgh, St. Louis and New York are better teams than the Chieagg Cubs. Ar inspired team that got great pitching and was well managed, is the way the ie showing of the Chicago club is explained. Figure New York Second If you are willing to take the opin fon of the twelve stars of the Na tional League whom I have consulted, © | Pittsburgh will win the pennant, New York be second, St. Louis third and Chicago fourth, when the final curtaia is rung down. The first of the games played in the west gave a bit of emphasis to the belief of the players whom I asked information of. ss! The Pirates won all-ihtir games from the Phillies. The Cards swept their series with the Dodgers, and the Giants. maltreated the .'Cubs enough to send them three and a half games behind the league-leading Pirates, It is true that expert opinion often foes wrong and the Cubs may cross the twelve wise men, tried and true, and win out. But, and this is what makes base- ball such an interesting game, you never can tell. —___. " RED-HOT PAPA ¢.
