WfflLB watching a various aa- VT aortmant of pitchers abd aocalled pitchera give up 08 walks through tha world series, one begins to wonder what has become of baseball's real pitchers. Watching Burt Shotton vainly trying to find one pitcher who could go five innings -- just one pitcher in seven games--one begins to wonder again if the art of pitching isn't really lost. From the stars we have known from the old days of real pitchers, we learned that a good pitcher needs just three things -- a p. Alexander fast ball, a curve ball and control. Walter Johnson needed only a fast ball and control. Today, pitchers are looking to a slider, § knuckle ball, a screw ball, a sailer--algjost everything except control. Imagine a Dodger pitching stalf that hasn't a pitcher wno can travel five inninga. The Yankees were only a little better off. They had a fellow nained Shea and a relief pitcher named Page. These took care o? three of th§ four gam^s tiie Yankees ' Tili only pitcKer the fiodgers had was a big, husky fellow known as Hugh Casey. Casey was the Dodger pitching staff.
