It also explains why the loop’s pitchers would rather take a salary cut than work in Baker Bowl, and why two of the better flingers, Buck Walters and Rookie Lefty Lamaster, each have better than .500 averages away from Philadelphia.

'HE Giants and Cardinals are cry- ing for flingers with their stuff, but with the Phils, because of that 280-foot right field home-run target. they're as wasted as a bet on a long shot against War Admiral.

New highs in editorial fantasy came close to causing some inter- national incidents. Sopwith felt keenly he was subjected to unjus- tified flights of criticism by rail- birds but refused to “squawk” publicly. Aside from that slip-up on the last start, Sopwith and his crew made fewer and less con- spicuous mistakes than Skipper ‘Mike"Vanderbilt. But Ranger was the better boat and had the better sailing equipment. Sopwith car- ried canvas wardrobe worth $100,000 but didn't always have right sail for right moment.

Such pitchers are old-school toughies, who remember when league officials conveniently turned their heads when a batter was forced to hit the dirt. The Nats, at least, have no pitchers who are considered ca- pable of stooping to tossing de- liberate “beaners.” The hurlers’ own teammates say so. It is recalled that when Powell ran Into Kuhel, knocked him to the ground and made him lose his grip on the ball (and the ball game), some members of the Washington firm were particu- larly belligerent and vengeful. “I wish to hell I played the infield or was a pitcher,” muttered one of the outfleld- ers. “I'd fix that bird. I'd autograph my name in his hide with my spikes | if I played in the infield or I'd stamp those stitches of the ball in his head if I pitched. But, as it is, we'll never get him.” Cleveland Touch. “SPORTS EDITOR OF THE STAR. “Dear Sir: “Several weeks ago Mr. Griffith ridi- culed a letter from the writer stating that several star minor league pitchers were obtainable.

Howevef, if Griff would show he was making an effort to strengthen our Nats, it would RO over better with the cash customers, whether the move was a success or not. “Very truly yours. “John M.

RICHARDSON: We can, and will, deny that any two of those pitchers you mention will “give the rest of our hurlers more of a breathing spell.” Why two? Why not six or seven? Then some of the boys who are chronically in need of a breathing spell can take the rest of the Summer off and rest up for the 1938 Southern Association season. Mr. Griffith may have ridiculed your letter, but he has told the newspaper boys from time to time that, contrary to what you say, there are no pitchers in the minors who can win in the big leagues . . . or al least none who are not already the property of some other club. 2 We are afraid, Mr. Riehard- son, that you will have to take up the matter with Mr. G.,after all. It is very confusing to us. Griffith says there are no pitchers and then we pick up a paper and see where Mr. Bill McKechnie, who probed around the base ball junkyards, came up with the best pitching staff in the National League, On the other hand, this does not necessarily make Mr. G. a fabricator.
