By Eddie Ash Catchers Bulwarks of Pennant Winners & m m Mancuso and Sewell Deserve Bouquets
year s major league races demonstrated once again and conclusively that a pennant winning team must have an efficient, smart, alert and steady catcher without a whole lot of importance being attached to his power as a batter. An intelligent, durable backstop seems to be the key to the explanation of the success of the Giants and Senators. At any rate, many big league experts have reached that opinion. Gus Mancuso of the Giants was batting only .263 in the latest figures published and Luke Sewell of the Senators was listed at .258. New York writers think Mancuso was the real spark plug of the Giants and the man chiefly responsible for the great pitching the club received. Washington scriveners think Sewell has been nearly of equal importance to the Senators. Both receivers are from other teams, Mancuso from the St. Louis Cardinals and Sewell from Cleveland. ana a a a NOT long ago Joe McCarthy, manager of the New York Yankees, came out with this bouquet for Sewell: "Nobody on the outside appreciates how much Joe Cronin owes to Luke Sewell. Last year the Senators suffered from the worst catching in the American League. This season they had plenty of intelligence behind the bat. 3eweU fooled me completely. I figured that he was nearly through last season. a a a a a a TIMES READER says the boys at the "corner drug store" want to know how batting percentage is obtained, citing last week s figures on Floyd Vaughan and Tommy Thevenow, infielders with the Pittsburgh Pirates These were: \B R H HR RBI Pet. Vaughan 551 80 173 9 91 .314 Thevenow 229 17 72 0 32 .314 The .314 is the batting average. Divide the number of hits by the number of times at bat—ssl into 173 for Vaughan and 229 into 72 for Thevenow. The latter really has the higher average, .3144 for Thevenow and 3137 for Vaughan. Carrying the figures only three places, however, Vaughan is placed at .314 because the fourth figure. 7, is over half. In Thevenow’s case, the fourth figure, 4, is "under half, leaving him at a flat .314 In the event where batters finish in a virtual tie. and there is a reward at stake, the figures are carried out beyond the customary three places and even to the smallest fractional point to determine the winner. a a a a a a THERE was an exciting windup for top hitting honors in the National League in 1931 and "three figures” were not enough to determine the winner among three swatters, resulting in a dispute until the league statisticians announced the official averages carried out four places. Chick Hafey, Bill Terry and Jim Bottomley finished in a three-way tie, each at .348, but after the records of each were divided a fourth time, Hafey was declared the winner. Official figures were: Hafey, 3489; Terry, .3486; Bottomley, .3482. That year set a record in the senior major circuit for close and fractional finishes for different positions in the final averages. The league statisticians were compelled to carry to four places the averages of thirty-eight players to settle ratings. a a a a a a "VTINETEEN former American Association players are eligible to play IN in the 1933 world series, eleven with New York and eight with Washington Pitcher Fred Fitzsimmons was sold by Indianapolis to the Giants and Shortstop Blondy Ryan of the Giants played for a short stretch with the Hoosiers.
