Show Sox Sax W Will ill Batter Mc Graw s 's Southpaws Says fays Johnson ALTER JOHNSON the brilliant bril bril- WALTER fI pitcher of the Washington Wash Wash- V V ington club is ts undoubtedly one of the hardest men to Interview now In the national game He Is always backward about expressing expressing ex ex- pressing an all opinion of other players for fear of hurting someone's feelings Walter Waiter was caught off his guard last week weel in a conversation at the Washington park the great pitcher never dreaming he was talking for publication and for this reason his views on the coming world series can be taken as a true-blue true opinion The world series this year said Johnson Is going to b be an extremely hard fought contest but I believe the White Sox Sot have Just enough edge on the Giants to win outI outI outI out I understand McGraw and the fol lowers of of the New York team are building on the pitching force of three left handers but before the series Is over they will v be using right-handers right or I miss my guess Joe Jackson and Eddie Collins dont don't like southpaws as asas asas asas as a rule but they are far from weaklings wh whan h n going good against them McGraw will have to figure on beating the White Sox right-hand right hitters as Felsch John Collins Chick Gandil and Risberg are hard men to fool foot and ev every ry one of them Is especially especial especIal- ly good against left I have pitched against the White Sox enough to know that a majority of them are natural hitters and pitchers pitch ers must have a great deal on the ball to keep leep them from driving it into safe sate territory The way I figure the White Sox is that the only men mon on the team with whom chances can betaken be be- betaken betaken taken are the pitchers and sometimes they hit the best I have for a mile or more The Giants Giants' will have to reckon with a a. formidable trio of pitchers in Russell Cicotte and Faber I wouldn't be surprised if the first named did not the other two Where McGraw might figure re on le left left-handers beating g the White Sox Box the comeback is in Russell as he will willbe willbe be able to pitch two games in the big series if necessary and those of the Giants who bat from the port side will find him a big proposition to overcome |
