A few examples: The Cubs of 1906 were a far better team than the White Sox. The Cubs won 116 games that year. They had Tinker and Evers and Chance. Thpy had Johnny Kling. They had a great outfield.

Even Yog! Berra couldn't crowd out Roy Campanella. The Dodger infield Is better and the Dodger outfield much stronger. But again it comes down to the pitchers. Casey Stengel has Vic Raschi, Allie Reynolds, Eddie Lopat, Whltey Ford, Johnny Sain, Jim MacDonald, Tom Gorman and Bob Kuzava, and out of this staff he hopes to squeeze a lot of good pitching. The main flaw he faces Is that the Dodgers are supposed to murder lefthanders and this would Include topat, Ford and Kuiava, where I-opat and Ford are two of his best.

All told, Stengel has much better pitching material than Charley Dressen. Chuck hasu't too many able, dependable men on his staff, barring Carl Erskine. At a rule it doesn't matter becauso Dodger bats cover up a lot of poor or ragged pitching. Whether these same bat can keep on getting runs off the pick of Yankee pitching Is another matter. No one can tell now.

Casey has a very keene eye in knowing when a pitcher is weakening and who is needed for relief. There are times when this ability on Caaey'a part is uncanny.

Cleveland and Chicago combined haven't the power the Dodgers carry In their bata. In fact, the Dodgers have ill. the stout hitting possessed by any three clubs In the American League, Including the Yankees. So It has to be pitching on the part of Stengel and his Yankees, I can't see him winning any other way. You start groping or easing up against the Dodgers and there are five or six runs In before you know what hit you.

The Dodgers this time are a better ball club. But that doesn't mean they will have much of an edge when the series opens. Not if Casey's pitching comes out the way he hopes it will. tuaisaoBia, l-hj seaos series. PONT LEAGrt Saolltoa tt Jamestown, rain.
