Because of the red mud in the Colorado river, the Span iards gave it that name which means "red." and Bartlett Streets ijjH?,- -'BSjgr -L-nSg r m " ' TBEmBK WHEEL" Iff TRNX5 Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY New York (IP) Connie Mack, one of the inventors of the game, once estimated that pitching is 60 per cent of baseball. This placed pitching and defense under one category and left 40 per cent to at tack. Which means that in the old gentleman's active mind, pitching had a 20 per cent bulge on hitting in thel matter of winning ball games. All of which is being proved once again this season. The proof is being posted by such gentlemen as Stan Musial and Mickey Vernon along with their clubs, the Cardinals and Indians, as well as such assorted teams as the Yankees, Cubs and Senators. Consider first the Cardin als. Musial is batting a blister ing .529 a mere .143 points ahead of his closest competi tor and is hitting as if he intends to wrap up the Na tional league batting title by Memorial Day. Pitchers lo Blame Yet his Cardinals are about to drop through the bottom of the National league with a record, as of Thursday, of 14 losses in 17 games. The an swer is in the records of the Cardinal throwers. In the 14 games they lost, the "pitch ers" gave up an average of 12 hits and seven runs a game. Not a pitcher has gone the distance and in the three games won by the miracle of Musial's bat they gave up 33 hits or an average of 11 per game. The Cubs are the surprise team of the early season, right up there in the unfamiliar heights when they figured to be doormats. The answer again is in the pitching. Chi cago's hurlers have held the opposition to an average of three runs a game and an av erage of seven hits to post those startling triumphs. Vernon is leading American league hitters, with a .400 mark and yet the Indians are playing no better than .500 ball. The pitching figures con tain, the answer. In the losses, they gave up an average of 10 hits per game arid in the vic tories cut that down to an average of six hits. Yankees Roll On Meanwhile, the Yankees gq right on rolling along and the the answer isn't strictly pow er. The Yanks have built up a long-time reputation as pow er hitters since the days of murderers' row but, hidden beneath the hitting hoopla, they always have solid pitch ing and a smooth-working de fense. This season their pitch ers have gone the distance six times in 14 victories while the surprising A's and Senators Tourist travel in Israel in creased between 1956 and 1957 by 56 per cent during the month of September. ' Long on looks ' ' - See your local authorized Chevrolet-dealer ' (LWKITIESYr v By OSCAR FRALEY Sports Writer United Press each has received five route going performances. If you still give power the edge, take a look at the Bos ton Red Sox as well as the 1947 Giants and 1956 Redlegs. The Red Sox have seen Ted Williams win five batting titles. Yet their only pennant in recent times came vhen Williams didn't bat at the top but curried the ball for a mere .312 average. They won it when Tex Hughson and Boo, Ferriss had 20-pl'us seasons and Mace Brown was great in relief. The Giants set a major league record of 221 homers in 1947 and" finished fourth. The Redlegs tied that mark in 1956 and finished third. Mr. Mack is gone, but his figures still are with us. we route :' V - ' " - - - - ' ;i.-f"" 1'' "-- ' - .
