By Hugh S. Fullerton. other teams were inordinately weak. Thia season the pitching staffs of the other teams are much stronger and more comsistent.

McGraws’ team achieved the vic- tory because the Chicago defense crumbled momentarily in the second inning and allowed two runs to leak home, chiefly on misplays, The other un came as @ result of Zimmerman's Aouble and a handle hit, which fell sale lo short centre. Wo have proved frequently that the Chicago pitching staff ts the strength of the team, and that the main weak. nese of the Gtants ts in pitching, A mittedly, the Giants possess #reater attacking strength, so that it seems that the Giants, to win, must at least 20 per cent. stronger om the attack than the Cubs to overcome Chigago'n pitching superiority, Yet yesterday Dubuc at least pitched as well as did Vaughan and held thé Cubs even better in the crises of the fame than did the giant of the Chi- cago team. The showing of Dubuc is one of the greatest boosts to the pennant chances ef the Giants yet developed. The Frenchman has not been regarded as @ serious item tn the pennant race, but yesterday by clever, use of his curve and hig slow ball, mixed care- fally with Mis tair fast ball, he kept the National Leagne champions wor- ried all the way. Nor did the attack of the Mitchell- ites appear to be as dangerous as it has been. The Cubs, in fact, are a weak hitting team. Last year I con- tended all season that they were win- ning because their pitchers were su- It looks to me as if pretty weak on the wi field. Chase is not playin and ha» stipped terribly. Zimmer- | man {s doing better than he did lact season, but still is not up to pennant standard. The Chicago club looks weak at first, fair at gecond, but at the same at third, and the outfield is not up to* major Jeagué standard by any means, ‘The Cubs are only a mediocre ball club with tremendous pitching power. tatl-end club, Both clubs are play- ing desperate and hard baseball and fighting for games, but not nearly so bard as the Giants and Brooklyns battled during their recent neries, The Yankees opened their Western trip with a victory over the weak Detroit bnneh. They won onty after a hard struggle, and there was uttle Glory in the victory. Clark Griffith, after watching the Yankees two days, confidently informed that his team would beat the Yankees out in the race, and made the startling statement that, against good pitching, the Yankees are one of the worst clubs in the league, Grif, of covrse, is the strongest pro-Bolshevik man- ager in the world, but he is @ won- derful student of the game and he analyzes teams closer than tiny man- ager I know, He @ays the Yankees food pitching and fast defensive work. In other words, he figures the Yank attacking power much reduced since last year because of the average im- Provement of the pitching, and that their own pitching has net improved enough to offset the gaing, of the other teams. Grif's theory aeems tolerably sound when it is considered that the Yan- Kees were only able to make four hits off Howard mke, gad that they were saved from a beating by a stab catch by Ping Bodie, However, since they won, nothing elee counts in the figuring excepting the standing of the chibs.
