Show Yanks Boast Only Corner On Players By LAWTON CARVER. International New R porta Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 1 BUI Brandt, National league public relatione re-latione 'counsel, or pre agtnt, today to-day rufflrd up hi feather, grHbbed a aheaf. of record and at out to refute atatement that th American league outclae his own circuit and that omthlng (hould be done to bring about a Prlty for purpose of producing an Interesting Interest-ing world series. "Ever since the laat aerie I've been hearing thai tha American leagua la far auperlor to tha National, Na-tional, but nothing could ba further fur-ther from tha. truth, Brandt said. "If you will examine, the record closely and consider tha thing from logical standpoint" As a startsr, h point out that th American league Just happen to have a club like the Yankee, with most of th great playing talent tal-ent concentrated on one team. Kew Replacements As a matter of fact," h said, "you can comb through th American Ameri-can league and you can find one player, possibly two at the outside, capable of replacing one of the Yankee players. Charlie Gehrin-ger Gehrin-ger of Detroit would be an Improvement Improve-ment at second base, and perhaps right field could b trengthned by addition of some young long hitter now with another club. A for the rest, ths Yankees ar an all-star all-star team." Brandt then pointed out that no such aituation prevail In the National, Na-tional, where the talent 1 scattered through all the club. Smarter Game "Also." he wished to say. "the National Na-tional league plays a smarter, more scientific game. One run still count in our league, whereas in the American they go for runs in clusters. However, that Is Just a matter of evolution. "In the American league the pitching I decidedly fast ball. In contrast to the National league's curve ball, and that in Itaelf la bound to contribute to power hitting. hit-ting. There' no way to explain ex-plain why the American ahould get a different type of pitching; It Just happened." Mr. Brandt, however, was adamant ada-mant on the point that the Yankee Yan-kee really make the big difference because they are a standout club quite by accident. That is. It seldom sel-dom happens that so many stars are gathered together for the common com-mon purpose of blasting all opposition opposi-tion right out of the park. "And don't forget." Mr. Brandt said, "that on th record for the decade atarting with 1930 the American Ameri-can league has won four world series se-ries and the National three. In other words, going into the last scries it was three and three." |
