HEW YORK, Sept. 37. (AP) SUCH
shortcomings as the outfield of tne
Glanls may have by comparison with

tors are substan
tially offset by
the ability of
Young Melvln

the same terror that the Bambino has
handed the opposition on a number
of celebrated occasions, yet the 24-yenr-old
Giant cleanup hitter stands
forth ae the man moss llkjly to dy
namite the Washington pitching de
fense. Is Home Rim Hitler.
Measured by home run production,
Ott la the only outright slugger !n
either championship lineup. This year
he Is well below his own high mark
of 1029, when he collected 42 homera,
but Ott Is a "pull" hitter who carries
a distinct threat on every trip to the
plate. He has driven In more runs
than any other outfielder In the
World Series lineups and Is second
only In this respect to Joe Cronln.
the Wsshington shortstop and man
ager. As most everyone knows, the Oiants
aa a whole, are not a fence-busting
crew. Relying mainly on defensive
prowess, It Is a standing wise-crack
to remark that a typical Giant bat
ting rally consists Of a grounder off
the third baseman's shins, one sacri
fice, a misjudged fly and a hit by
Manager Bill Terry or Ott.
O'Doul Pinch Hitter.
The outer trio of the National
league champions, with Joe Moore In
left field, George Davis In center and
the redoubtable Ott In right, com
pares favorably with any group of
ball-hawks, but when more hitting
la needed It will be necessary to aum
mon "the man In the green suit,"

In more runs than all the other Giant
outfleldora combined.
Torry now plana to use the agile,
hustling Moore against all kinds of
pitching, thereby discarding hla origi
nal idea of atartlng Homer Peel
against aouthpawa. Moore has so con
sistently shown hli ability to hit In
the plncbea that he' holds the left
field Job until further notice.
Senators Boast 3 Clouters.
In contrast with the llghter-hlttlng
Olant outfield, Washington will trot
out three real clouters In Heinle Ma
nush In left, Pred Bchulte In center,
and Leon (Ooose) Goslln In right.
The Senator combination has a 28
polnt advantage por man In the cur
rent batting averages, with Manuah
well toward the top of the list at .332.
The advantage In the runa-battod-ln
statistics Is not so marked, due to
Ott'a auperlorlty In this spoclalty. The
latest unofficial figures showed 271
"RBI" for the Senator outfielders and
242 for the Giants.
. Manush and Goslln are former
American league batting champions,
but the colorful "Goose" no longer
carried the slugging threat he did
when he was breaking up ball games
for the Senators In 1024 and 1025.
Manush still ranka among the game's
leading hitters, however, and has col
lected more hits than any player In
the American league this yoar and
atands aecond only to Chuck Klein
of the Phillies In the major league
list.

If Ben Cantwell had remained with
the New York Giants, the club which
first brought him up to the National
league, he might now be figuring
prominently In the world series
"dope,"
Instead, he was traded to the Bos
ton Braves in his second year of big
league service, and, tolled there with
out much success until he suddenly
burst forth this season as one of the
league'a outstanding' hurlera. The
tall, lean, righthander, who had pass
ed the .800 mark only once befoie
in his career In tn majors and then
with four victories and three defeats,
was right at the top of the list today
with 20 games won and nine lost.
Cantwell chalked up victory num
ber 30 yesterday at the- expense of
the champion Qlants, beating them
for the fourth time this year, J5 to 3.
He was the third hurler In the league
to reach that mark. The others were
the Giants' outhpaw star, Carl Hub-
bell, and young 'Dizzy" Dean of St.
Louis.
The victory preserved Boston's
chancea of finishing In the first di
vision. By winning their two re
maining games, thev can . pass the
St. Ixrtils Cardinals if the Cards lose
their last two.
The Phillies and the Brooklyn
Dodgers, seventh and sixth respec
tively in the National league, and
with no chance of going higher,;
played the only other big league game, j
The Phils, closing their home season
with an exciting ninth inning rally,
won 3 to 2, and made It a little more
certain that they will finish ahead of
the cellar dwelling Cincinnati Reds.
