Time the final playoff doubles tournament scribe picks braves to win series by Pat Robinson new York sept. 29 ins pitching will decide the coming world series As it has All  on this score alone the braves should be favored to beat an american entry be that entry Yankees. Red sox or indians. You May say that the braves have Only two outstanding pitchers. But that the Paul Deanis All they need Brothers. Dizzy and proved. As a matter of fact one great Pitcher can dominate a series. The late Christ pitched three giants against world series. Mathewson once shut outs for the the athletics in a Billy Southworth has two grand pitchers at his disposal in the right hander Johnny Sain and the left hander Warren Spahn. At their Best these two figure better than a 50-50 Chance to win any time the Start against any team. It May be said that the Yankees indians and red sox All have More Power than the braves this is undoubtedly True.

This should be one of the mos interesting series Ever played despite the fact that neither team in it will be a sound solid club. By less despite their Lack of Speed they that we mean that both will have some glaring weaknesses. Indeed there in t a club in either major league that can be considered  mean soundness in the Way some of the old Yankee Ball clubs were sound with not a weakness at any position. This was True even of some of the old teams which lost four straight world series  instance the pirates of 1927 were a Fine solid club Good at every spot. But they dropped four straight in the big pay off because they had the misfortune to meet a Yankee team that is generally rated the Best that Ever trod a  braves Are weak behind the plate and their outfielders can hardly throw into the infield with out straining a ligament. Never the might be adequate enough because neither the indians. Yanks nor Redfox is a Ball of fire on the base paths. The braves managed to beat the dodgers even when the dodgers were stealing everything but the shirts off the braves pitchers and catchers. The yanks have decidedly weak spotty pitching. So have the Redfox. The indians likewise have their  course there is always the Chance that the american league team will come up with one or More pitchers who could get real hot in this series.
