Yanks Doped Stronger on Middle Line

Joe Recalls Exceptions to “Rule; Holds True Two of Three Times.

By JOE

WILLIAMS Times Specidl Writer ; EW YORK, Sept. 26.—The best

way to build yourself up as a real stitched in the leather baseball expert is to talk knowingly | about “the center slot.” This is! particularly impressive when the; subject at hand is the world series. For the benefit of those who have spent most of their lives in the African jungles or on the squasi tennis courts it should be explained without further delay that the center slot in baseball is a defensive line which runs through the middle of the field from the catcher's position

Joe Williams to. the center-

fielder’s patrol. There is a legend in baseball—

and it may be something more material than a legend—that the ‘team which is equipped with the stronger players down the middle, that is behind the bat, in the box, at second base and in center field, is the team to respect. Especially in a limited number of games. : ” oa HAVE always thought the best I way to dope the World Series was to begin by doping the experts, but in this sound and logical stand I have had very little support, even from myself. So if the series must. be approached in a grim, analytical manner | perhaps it is just as well to investigate the traditional cenot possibilities. . Be nor you have read in the - daily -gazettes that the Giants are to meet the Yankees this year in what is picturesquely called the subway or nickel series. I feel the time has come when the pitiless glare of truth should be thrown on this fiction. No employe on subway-—not even a stockholder— will appear in the series. And a nickle won't even buy a hot dog ‘at either the Polo Grounds or the Yankee Stadium. But there is something else. The Giants and the Yankees are going to play, and in accordance with the rules of the game each team will be represented by certain earnest and energetic young men in the positions identified above as the center slot. You are invited herewith to study their relative values and" pick your own winner. 8 nn an

» ”

F you ask me why the center slot |s

is considered so vital in baseball I can only repeat that it is a baseball theory that most games are won or lost on plays that develop or should develop down the middle of the field.” Over a season's play the figures are supposed to bear this out, though on recollection I don’t recall ever seeing such figures.

Anyway, the Giants will = have

Mancuso behind the bat, Whitehead | I

at second and a two-way center fielder, Ripple against right-handed pitching and Leiber against lefthanded pitching. The Yankees will offer Dickey behind the plate. Laz-zeri-at second and DiMaggio in center. I'm eliminating the pitchers. Any pitcher on a good day can make any center slot look great. Mancuso will outcatch Dickey, but he won't outhit him. Whitehead is more agile than Lazzeri—but as Waite Hoyt says about Lazzeri, “he plays second by memory.” By which he means the San Francisco Italian

is always where he should be on any | P

kind of play. Ripple and Leiber,

rolled into one, won't equal DiMag-| W.

glo. Not on form, anyway. All right, then, which of the two centér slots do you like? I like the Yankees. I think you must like ‘em. And yet that doesn’t mean they are going to win. I remember the Yankees beat the Cards four straight in 1928 and they went into the series

lamentably weak in the center slot. | DVX Indeed, this supposedly vital artery

of defense appeared to be the weakest part of the team. :

® ~ ”

Cc ouss. then at his peak, got in!

the series only once as a pinch |

hitter. He had been the best center flelder in the league that year. Lazzeri played through the series at second with his arm in a bandage, and Bengough, behind the plate had had trouble lobbing the ball to second for a month. This was a conspicuous ‘example of how unreliable the center slot can be as an

approach to World Series experting. | M.

There have been others like it. The Cubs of 1906 were definitely stronger down the middle than the White Sox—the first all-home series in baseball history, by the way. The .only edge the White Sox had was in center field where Fielder Jones:

stood out over Circus Solly Hofman. | SP

Kling was better than Sullivan behind the plate and Evers excelled

Isbell at second by a wide margin. | Henry. This was one of those series! Zuber

where pitching spoke with author-

. ity. The Cubs were unable tol. match the superior box work of|M

men like Altrock, Walsh and White. But if the Cubs failed. to reap dividends on their fine center slot in 1906 they justified the theory that it is a powerful weapon by winning the playoffs in 1907 against the Tigers. Kling was still behind the bat, Evers was still at second and Slagle divided with Hoffman in center field. Using the Cubs’ experience as a case history it would seem ~ that the center slot pays off two out of three timeS—which is a betthing, including matrimony.

Major League Averages

American League

With the long American League campaign nearing its end, Luke Appling’'s advantage over Ear] Averill of Cleveland looms high and mighty to the prized Cracker from down in Atlanta. Luke made 11 hits in 21 times at bat during the past week to increase his average five more points to .388, while Averill remained the same as last week though he made nine hits in 25 tries at the plate. Third spot is held down by Bill Dickey of New York whose .359 average tops that of Gerald Walker, Tiger flash, by only four points. Interesting totals in other departments are as follows: Averill made most hits, 225; Gehringer of Detroit scored most times, 142, and Trosky of Cleveland plated most runners, 156. : Irving Hadley of New York leads the pitchers in highest percentage of games won and lost, .765, made from 13 wins against four ' losses. Bridges of Detroit won most games, 23, Jim Bottomley of St. Louis went cver to the junior league this year and made himself a new record for unassisted double plays for a first baseman notching the eighth twin killing alone on Sept. 13. He was one of the co-holders of the former record of seven. . The following averages are based on games up to- and including Wednesday: TEAM BATTING AB 5523 od 5414 5334 5406

Major Loops ‘Near Finish

Runner-Up Positions at

Stake Today and Tomorrow.’

By United Press NEW YORK, - Sept. championships decided, major league appetites had to be satisfied today with battles for second place and other first. division berths that remain to be fought out in the final two: days of the 1936 season. Now that it is definite that the New York Giants and Yankees will meet in the first “subway series” since 1923, fans will have to wait until next Wednesday, starting day of the series for the world championship for their “hot” baseball news. The second-place St. Louis Cardinals have clinched at least a second place tie in the National League. The Cubs may have a tough time even holding third place, because they lead the Pittsburgh Pirates by but one game. The Detroit Tigers hold second place in the American League by a game and a half over the Washington Senators, who will have three more games to play, which makes the second and third positions still in plenty of doubt. The Chicago White Sox, who trail the Tigers by two and a half games, also have. a

i chance to tie for second by winning

all of theirs, while Detroit drops their remaining two. Cleveland, two games behind the White Sox, is vir-

tually stymied in fifth, while Boston, |

St. Louis and Philadelphia will finish sixth, seventh and eighth, respectively, regardless of the final

| two days’ play.
