Shortstops seem to be the weak sis
ters In the matter OF hitting In the
American League. The short fielders
alone failed 10 break into the 800
class last season. Thirty-five players
hit over 800. but not a solitary guar
dian OF the short field was among
that number. Even the 200 and .2s0
classes are too high for the men who
play between second and third. Yer
kes, OF the Boston club. was the lead
ing hitter among the short feeders,
with a percentage Of .27s. Knight. OF
the Yankees. ranked second. with .26s,
and Barry. OF the Athletics. was third
with .265. Batting records OF other
shortstops: Olson, Maps. .261: Wag
