pitching edge ovtr either the Detroit Tigers or the Cleveland whichever they tackle In the World Series next week Some Wight like to argue the point particularly those who regard young Boh Feller of the Indians as the greatest pitcher In the game today Yet the fact seems fairly obvious to tbla observsr at least considering all th factors For th first time In many a year th National League race was decided in time to give lta champion a breathing spell Walter and Derringer Instead of going into th series whipped down as they did a year ago against th Yankees should be refreshed and at tba very peak of their ability The Cleveland and Detroit mound staff on th other hand ar likely to Teel th strain of their tene fight tof th With the a'P- tion of (Feller they are not youngster either Tommy Bridges of the Tigers perhaps the club' youngest pitcher is approaching hts thirty-fifth birthday and his snapback is not what It ones was Cincinnati has won two straight National League pennant on the strength of superb mound work and little else In fact if the Reds suddenly were deprived of this pitching superiortty-i-then there wouldn't be much sense in their playing Detroit in a World Series for the Tiger sluggers would have an enormous advantage over the Reds in a sheer test of hitting The American League winners can count on facing Derringer in the first game Walter in the second Junior Thompson In the third and then back-to Derringer Many a baseball man regards Derringer as the best pitcher in th business preferable even to Feller in a tight spot because of hfs great experience and near-perfect control Back of their big three the Reds fall off sharply But they have the National League's best relief man in Joe Beggs to take up any slack and a canny veteran in Jim
