Moe Berg Leads Henry Into The Land of 1:2 Punch
By HENRY
United Press Staff Correspondent
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 21.-It wasn't until today that I} realized there was a definite kinship between baseball and boxing. recently as yesterday I would have stoutly (and I mean “stoutly” to the tune of 185 pounds and twin chins) denied there was any connection be-| tween, say. right field and a right cross. But all of a sudden I found myself lolling under a palm tree with|:
Moe Berg. of the Boston Red Sox, one of the better minds, baseball or otherwise, in this country.” And before we quit lolling he had established a definite relationship between the two. He bound them together with the expression “one-two punch.”
| The Old Ohe-Two Theres never was a boxing cham-
plon who didn't have a one-two
punch, Berg pointed out, and then continued to explain that the chief contention for the major league pennants this year would be made by teams with the same thing. “Let's look at' the American League,” Berg said. “Barring accident the main contention, will be between the Yankees and the Red Sox. Each of the clubs can throw a deadly one-two punch. On the Yanks the one-two is provided by Joe DiMaggio and Bill Dickey. DiMaggio sets up the opposition and Dickey knocks it out.” Remembering Charley Keller, suggested that perhaps the Yanks had gone a step further and developed a one-two-three punch. “Please,” Berg said, in a voice rich with melancholy, “let’s limit this to just two hitters. Now take the Red Sox. Our one-two punch is thrown by Jimmy Foxx and Ted Williams, Perhaps I'm biased but to me those two fellows form - the best one-two in baseball. TI wouldn’ t swap | them for anything An the league.” The tone-two punch holds true in The champion Cincinnati Reds and their sternest challengers, the Cardinals, have the toughest bing-bang combinations in the Ford Frick belt. The Reds can throw Frank McCormick
and Ival Goodman at opposing]|.
pitchers. 'And the Cards have Johnny Mize and Ducky Medwick, that is, if Medwick signs. i
Ducky Out on Limb
And he is sure to. Speaking of Ducky Wucky, it will be he who will “| have to come to terms. Unpopular with the players (who think he cost them the pennant last year by loafing) and unpopular with Manager Blades (who resents the things Medwick has said about him) and unpopular with Owner Sam Breadon (who! thinks he is being shoved around a bit and held up) Joe probably will have to capitulate or sit out the 1940 baseball dance. But to get back ta the one-two punch. © All of the combinations mentioned present a right-handed hitter and a left-handed hitter.

That is the ideal comibinalioh: As
Paul Derringer told me—and Der-

combination makes it impossible for a pitcher to let up even a little bit. | “Be the pitcher a right-hander or a left-hander,” says Paul, “he must bear down -with all he has on at least one of them.” But enough of this tlormative writing. The next thing you know I'll be explaining the technique of] the drag bunt, or why a good base runner tags second with his left foots when running out a triple.
