Vet Pitcher Rates Clubs By HAL WOOD United Press International San Franciscd (UPI) Vet eran relief specialist Marv Grissom took an evaluation of the National league clubs today and came to the conclu sion that they all" "are about equal in hitting, but with Mil waukee having a pitching edge." "These teams appear to be so evenly balanced that it is impossible to pick among them," said the 40-year-old fireman. "The hitting on near ly every club in the league is just about equal. "The only difference I can see is that Milwaukee appears to have a bit better pitching." Grissom, with a 5-3 record, already has appeared in 30 games for the Giants as he has fought to hold leads for the local club against the all- around slugging of the oppo sition. The "most surprising" club to Grissom has been his own the Giants. He credits the resurgence of the Giants to the help from the big rookie crop. . . "The Milwaukee team is as strong this year as it was last," says Grissom, "but every other team, in the loop has improved. "The improvement has been brought about by ropkies. When you get one rookie to come through in a key posi tion, it improves the strength of a team immeasurably. "That's the reason we are fighting for the pennant this year, while last season we fin ished in sixth place," said Grissom. v Weekly Jr. Ball Schedule Given , A full schedule of games in the Southern Oregon junior baseball league is siated dur ing the next week.
