half a rule. I hereby rise In meeting unit nominate Mr. Gordon a* ■ th. hero. Today he can ape-nd all ' afterniMin striking out. can me** up three double play* and muff I what ball playerw call "a can of ; corn” - nn -aay pop fly and he ! still will be the hero. The brutal truth of the matter la that the b, loved hum* haven't been uhle to get the guy out yet. Eight time* he had gone to bat 1 and eight time* he ha* reached | first has*. At 11:3* o'clock last [ night In' passed manager Bill Terry of the New York Giant* In a poll to determine the most unpopular man in Brooklyn. Thi* Incredible hat'ing record I* too giMxl to laat. of course, so now ' would Im- the be-.t time to look In,to what the miraculous second baseman of the Yankee* ha* been I up to In thia aerlea; In the first game he went to bat four tint,a. walked twice, hit a home run and a single. In the second game yesterday he went to bat four time*, got three walk* and hit a single, tine of hl* walk* wa* an intentional pas*. Th bum* learn quickly, and already they have decided they want no part of Gordon up their swinging when run* are on base. That leave* him with a seriea* batting averag.- of LOW, and If that ian't par for tlrai course I will commit suicide at 1:15 o’clock thia afternoon by walking down Atlantic avenue In Brooklyn, yelling, "horray for the Yankee* " He ha* batted In two run* In II two game* and scored <m<- run himself- on a homer that haa been i the hardest hit ball In the series. He haa atolen the spotlight at ' the plat from such n nowned powI er hitter* a* IMMaggto, Keller. ! Dickey. Henrich. Medwick, f’amIlli and Reiser. Not had going for • a lad whose Beason batting aver- ■ age I* only .277 and who hit* way I down In seventh place In the Yan- ■ kee batting order. Even the mint rahid rooter* In i other major league title* are wlllt Ing to admit Gordon la the beat fielding second baseman In the bus-

| lne*« He knock* down ball* that I no other M*cond baaeman could i come within shouting dtMtance of He make* hard play* look ridiculously easy and ha* i-aught line drive* In every .conceivable post- ■ tlo nexcept standing on hla head. Joe wa* charged with an error i yesterday o:i a hall that came j mi reaming at him and took a nasty hop Juki before II arrlv-d. He wa* [ lm k> to knock It down, and If any , other second baseman had been on ■ the joh the ball probably would have shot on through to right field Hut In the fourth Inning Gordon brought off the fleldlng gem of the day. Pete Reiser laid Into one that ■ wa* labeled "bane hit." Gordon ' Streaked to hla right, thrust out hi* glove while on th- dead run and made a hack-hand «top. Then . he whirled like an acrobat, shot ; the ball over to flrat bane and iiipin',l the runner by a step In the upp,-r stand* a Brooklyn rooter could be seen giving Gordon grudging applause. That's the ■ ultimate tribute these day* to any ; member of the Yankees. 0- —- Highest lighthouse on the Pacific «-i»a»t of the U H is at Cape Men- . i diM-lno. California.
