so many plays. Even as bencn
warmer Mack put faith in the opinion
or the youth.
Jake Dsubert, Brooklyn's first sacker,
Is easily the best in the National League.
Like McInnis, he is conscientious and
enthusiastic. Daubert Is a streak In
running the bases and hits 800. In no
department OF the game Is he weak
he is unusually strong in all. but in
none is he better than MClnnis, good as
he is.
McInnis has the advantage over him
In that he works better with the other
PLAYERS than Daubert. His brain travels
faster. He can diagnose the attack Of
the enemy better than Daubert. STUFF
fy' is not first baseman alone. His
searching eyes are analyzing every
movement of the batsman and Coacher.
He is offering advice to the others;
telegIaphing Baker to look out for a
bunt or wiring Thomas that he has
caught steal signal from the
bench.
1t Is this stun. hidden from the spec
tators, that helps to make McInnis the
monarch of first basemen.
There are other worthy first basemen
in the two leagues, although they all
fall more or less below the standard OF
efficiency as set by Mclnnis, Daubert,
and Chase.
