I "f physical exercise to an art. The ' actions of hi* hand* and hi* feet. hi* "feel” for the handling of a Itaseball. are beautiful to behold. Gordon WAS the all-star game IHMaggio wa* great with his home run. Feller was superb with his tire-ball pitching; Lombardi was deadly with hl* hitting. But it I . wa* Joe Gordon who stole the | 1 show, and it was Joe Gordon who spelled the difference between Tic- ; tory and defeat for the American j leaguers. Few men have ever made catch- 1 ••* like the one he made on Joe Medwick's line drive hi the eighth , It.ning. Il was an Impossible catc h The ball left Medwlcfc's bat at bullet speed, propelled by every . ounce of power In the St latui* \ slugger's body. It wa* high In the air. and a good 1.1 yard* to Gordon's left With the speed of an 1 Owen* the Yankee second baseman raced after It. and with the j grace of a Nijinsky he soared into ' the air to take It. The impact knocked him off balance. and he landed craslly on his feet, But he didn't go down. He skipped along on hi* toe*, regained hi* balance. and. with the mar* t-f an unbelieving crowd in hi* ear*, dived Into the dugout ' There never wa* a second leaseman like him.'' Joe Cronin. Boston Red Sox manager, told me after the- game. 'Eddie Collhis was great and *0 wa* Nap Lajofe and *0 is Charlie Gehringer. But they never saw the day they could make play* around sec ond such as Gordon make* ” Gordon didn't confine hl* magnificent play to the handling of Medwick’s liner. Earlier, with the base* loaded, he made an amaaing ph yon Arky Vaughan's whistling grounder to turn it into a double play Cronin, who wa* playing alongside of him at shortstop, had this to say of that play "I would have sworn, when Vaughan hit the hall, that It wa* a single I couldn't believe it when Joe not only got it. but handled It so perfectly, act swiftly, that he made it Into a double killing " And. one play before that. Gordon performed a miracle on a grounder by Otf. He came racing almost to first base to knock down th<- ball and almost catch Oil at first There Isn't another second baseman in baseball who would have laid hand* on the ball, much les* stop|M-d it and held all runners on their bases, (If Gordon hadn't made these three play*, the National leagu* might well have won It* second all star game In succeasion, He killed every rally of the Nationals, just *■ he ha* been killing ralllea ' of Yankee rival* all year. That's the really great thing about Gordon—he isn't a oneday or a onegame player. Iley in and day out. for the past two year*, he ba* broken the heart* of the hitter* tn the American league, t.lke a ghost. Joe drifts around and about aecI ond base cutting oft hits and turni Ing what appear to lie certain "Ingle* into double play balls Don't let the old-timer* try to sell you a bill of good* on second basemen of the past.
