NEW YORK — Manager Joe
McCarthy of the Yankees is not
a fellow to brag about what he
is going to do. But I bet that
if you could have a peek into
Marsa Joe’s mind, you would
find that he has been planning
revenge on his 1942 conquerors
since last October.
McCarthy is like that. He
won’t talk for publication be
cause he’s afraid he might give
one sports writer more than an
other. He wants to play fair
with all of them. But deep down
inside, Joe can aspire as much
as the next fellow—and plan re
venge with the best of them.
Plain Strategy
A lot of the boys couldn’t figure
Joe’s plans for the All-Star game
in Philadelphia. But the strat
egy was as plain as the nose on
your face—if you had listened to
him during the baseball season.
That’s one of the many good
features about Joe—the more
you listen, the more you find
out about him. Ask him a ques
tion and you’ll never get an
answer. Let him talk and
you’ll learn plenty about the
Yanks and his plans.
After listening to the New York
mentor and watching his moves
for the past few months, it is
easy to see what he plans to do
in the World Series. He expects
to beat the Cardinals through his
pitchers!
That strategy may surprise a
lot of McCarthy rooters. Most of
the boys who follow baseball
year in and year out across the
country think of the Yankees
as a hitting club—murderers’
row, etc.
But McCarthy knows that it’s
going to take a lot of hitting to
stop Spud Chandler, Ernie Bon
ham. Hank Borowy and Charley
Wensloff, his probable starting
pitchers, Back them up with
“Grandma” Johnny Murphy, At
ley Donald and Jim Turner in
the bull pen and you have a
pitching staff par excellence.
Only the other day President
Ed Barrow of the Yanks said:
“We have a wealth of pitch*
ing material and the man who
knows how to get the most out
of them—McCarthy. We have
not any worry in that depart
ment.”
Lets look at the pitchers.
Chandler is having the best
year of his career. Bonham got
off to a bad start but the way he
has been hurling them down the
home stretch, his teammates say
he’ll more than toss those Card
inals on their heels.
Borowy looked like a big dis
appointment. All of a sudden he
began to throw them where they
can’t see them and before you
could say Joe, he had four shut
outs to his credit. And that’s
pitching.
Cool Cucumber
Wensloff is one of those cool
cucumbers. McCarthy has never
been one to start a freshman in
the World Series but he may
make exceptions in Charleys
case, especially if the Yanks get
the jump on their National Lea
gue foes. When they figure out
the earned runs for the New
York pitching staff this year, 1
Wensloff will be challenging for
the lead, and you can’t ignore
that stuff.
In Murphy, the American
League champs have one of the
best relievers in the business.
Ask Lefty Gomez, he knows.
And Johnny’s record this year
is the best since he came to
Broadway. Add a rapidly im
proving Donald, an old relia
ble Turner and you have a
bunch of pitchers who can
really hurl that pill.
So the Cardinals might just as
well prepare now to face Chand
ler, Bonham and Borowy in the
first three games here with
Johnny, Jim and Atley in reserve
and just itching for a chance to
get in there.
How can the Yankees lose?
JUMP FOR A JUMPER )
Jumper styles will not just be
worn by the college girl this
year. This very slenderizing style
because of its long line from
shoulder to waist will be worn by
the “older girls” too.
ON YOUR EAR
Monogrammed earrings are
being worn now with the letter
of the first name on the right
earring and the letter of the sur
name on the left earring.
