We say that because all the ball players we've talked to latelv rank ium as tne best in either league. No his name Isn't Bob Feller Spud Chandler or Tex Hughson. Is a wiry left hander by the name of Harold Newhouser of the Tigers. Newhouser Newhous-er was the best pitcher In base ball in 1944 when he won 29 Karnes. They threw that one out A war year. Newhouser was the best pitcher In baseball last season when he won 25 games and took over the World series. They threw that one out, also. Another war year. Wait until the big hitters come back, they said last spring Ted Williams, Joe DiSfagglo, Dom Dl-Maggio, Dl-Maggio, Bobby Doerr, Bill Dickey, Charlie Keller, all these and many others. So what happens? Newhouser New-houser has been winning six times out of seven. And Newhouser has been winning these games with a third-place ball club a ball club that without Newhouser New-houser would be in fifth place. Newhouser New-houser was the best pitcher in baseball base-ball in 1944 and 1949. It is our prediction pre-diction that he also will be the best pitcher in baseball in the current season of 1946. It's Newhouser, 9 to 1 We decided to make a fuller check on Newhouser in his own league. We took a survey from, 10 well-known well-known veterans who know their way around. Nine gave us Newhouser, New-houser, one gave us Bob Feller. I asked Bill Dickey what he thought about the matter. The Arkansas Ar-kansas quail hunter gave us a slow smile. "I'm already in enough trouble," he said, "without getting into another argument When I came back to baseball this spring, I heard that Newhouser was just another an-other wartime pitcher. "Our league happens to be well stocked with fine pitchers. I mean Chandler, Hughson, Ferris, Harris, Trucks, Kramer and a few more. But so far I haven't seen a better pitcher than Newhouser. You know how hard it is to win 20 games. Newhouser has won 54 in the last two years. It wouldn't surprise me to see him win 30 or more this year. "What has he got? About all it takes. A good fast ball. A good curve ball. Good control. A lot of confidence in himself. Determination Determi-nation to win. A good head. Plenty of heart." Unless something disastrous hap pens suddenly, it is a pretty safe bet that Hal Newhouser will lead both leagues on the pitching side. It is also a pretty fair bet that he will pass the 25-game mark again and threaten the 30 spot which few have ever reached. fa Two 40-Game Winners So far as so-called modern base ball goes the only 40-game winners I can recall at the moment happen to be Ed Walsh and Jack Chesbro. Among the 30-or-more game win ners, we've had Matty, Johnson, Smokey Joe Wood, Dizzy Dean, Grover Alexander, Lefty Grove and possibly one or two others. Only Matty and Alexander have won 30 or more games three times, in the past 40 years. You can let us know if our memory is slipping. Newhouser has yet to be a Sfr game winner. But the willowy Tiger left-hander has the best chance to reach this mark for 1946. He comes so close to being the best pitcher In the game that someone else will need a spur to crowd him back before be-fore the stretch run ends in September. Septem-ber. Bob Feller, Spud Chandler and Tex Hughson are all great pitchers. Among the best But all three will have to put on extra steam to crowd back Newhouser, who has been baseball's best pitcher for three years. About the Two Leagues Several querulous letters have come In since the all-star game from National league supporters asking what has happened to the veteran circuit "Why is If one asked, "that the American league should come up with most of the top stars such men as Ted Williams, Charlie Keller. Kel-ler. Bob Feller. Newhouser, Chandler Chan-dler and so many others who apparently appar-ently outclass most of the National league's best men?" The sad factssad for the N. are that the elder league this sea son can match the younger circuit neither In stars, nor la Average playing strength. The N.
