Playing the Field

“With Billy Evanr

DHIS has been a tough season so far for Tommy Thevenow of the St. Louis Cardinals, lg and fielding hero of the 1926 world series. Due to a salary difference, he was late in reporting. It was feared this might affect his play. On the con-

fcrary, he stepped right into the picture in the spring training games and hogged the spotlight from a batting standpoint. While not a great batter,. Thevenow nas always been regarded as dangerous in a pinclp In the world series he accounted for five runs on timely hits. His

%

single In the final game, driving in two runs, enabled the Cardinals to take the title by the score of 3 to 2. Thevenow’s great work in the exhibition games in the South this spring made it seem as if the late start wasn’t going to affect his batting in the least. Then came the unexpected, a batting slump just as soon as the season opened. In his first 40 games this year l\e drove across the plate exactly two runs. Batting slumps are impossible of explanation. They just happen and the player emerges from them as quickly as he started to slip. SALARIES DEFEND ON HITS mT is a rather unusual fact, but often when a player is in a batting slump he appears to be hitting the ball well, but always right at some waiting fielder. “It is not how you hit them, but where you hit them,” is Joe Sewell’s logical and original argument relative to the making of base hits. Every fan has been at a ball game where some player would hit several line drives into the waiting hands of a fielder, while some other player would pop up two or three fly balls that would be just out of the reach of every fielder trying for them. However, as the club owners gauge salaries largely on the base hit column, ball players are not particular what kind of hits they get, just as long as they go safe. Just as Tommy Thevenow, hero of the 1926 world series, was recovering from his batting slump he suffered a serious leg injury that has kept him out for several weeks and there is no telling how long it will be before he gets back into the lineup. If the St. Louis Cardinals win the National League pennant this year, it must be done without the sterling play that Tommy Thevenow provided in the field and at the bat last season. INTERESTING COINCIDENCE aT is an interesting coincidence that Mark Koenig, who opposed Thevenow at shortstop for the Yankees in the series of last fall, has experienced a directly opposite year as far as the playing end of the game is concerned. Koenig, the possessor of remarkable natural ability in the field and at the bat, was alternately the hero and the goat of the last classic. He finished on the latter end because of a badly bounding grounder in the final game. During the first half of the present season the work of Koenig in all departments of play has been little less than sensational. A year’s experience plus the world series test, apparently made him. Then just when he was at the top of his game a leg injury, although not as serious as that of Thevenow’s forced him out of the lineup. Shifting Lazzeri to short and Morehart to second proved just as effective a combination. Baseball managers are supersti- * tjous. Despite the fact that Koenig is' again ready to play, Manager Huggins refuses to break up a winning combination in order to let him resume his berth at short.

The Hens are enjoying a big lead ofj-bout eight games. Home runs in the A. A. Tuesday were scored by Bohne of the Millers and Gaston and McMillan of St. Paul. Jim Galloway, infielder, and Claude Robertson,, -catcher, former Indianapolis players, have obtained financial control of the Beaumont team of the Texas League.

Important Series Starts in Camp of Pittsburgh Team Thursday. THREE TILTS CARDED Bushmen Have Only Short Edge Over Rivals. B ‘PITTSBURGH, July 6.— Traveling toward this city today were the Chicago Cubs, the team that is only a few points back of Ownie Bush’s Pirates, National League leaders. And on Thursday, on the local diamond, these hard-fighting machines open a three-game series. The Cubs can gain the lead by winning the series opener. It is a case of rivalry brought up from the American Association,* where Joe McCarthy, Cub boss, and Ownie Bush, Pirate pilot, used to engage in diamond warfare as leaders at Louisville and Indianapolis, respectively. Chicago registered its/ seventh straight victory Tuesday when Cincinnati was defeated in the Windy City and the Pirates certainly know they are going to face plenty of opposition when thp Cubs unpack their bat bags at Forbes field Thursday. The Bushmen slaughtered the St. Louis Cards Tuesday and retained their slender hold on the top berth in the Heydler circuit. This city is baseball “bugs” again, and the CubPirate series is expected to attract tremendous crowds.

Following Flynn’s advice, Dempsey has dropped his right heel to the canvas when in fighting pose.

This Tells It 1. The umpire gives no consideration as to the intent on an interference play. If it happens, he must call it even though purely accidental. 2. No attention should be paid to the act of the coacher when batsman hits ball over fence for a home run, for there is no chance for a play on such a hit. 3. A run can score on any double play that retires the side, provided the third out is not a force out, or a play in which the fails to reach first. The runner, of course, must cross the plate before the final out is made. 4. The moment the umpire interferes, play is suspended and ball becomes dead. Runner is sent back to his original base, in this case, first. 5. The runner or runners shall be entitled to two bases from the base last touched when the throw was started.
