Fans are not In the habit Of running
their eyesight In studying the field rec
ords or the major league players and
there are few members Of the Baseball
Writers Association of America who
build up feature stories regarding the
defensive work of the pastimers. Eddie
Collins. guardian for the White Ele-
plants of the middle cushion. Is
acknowledged by all experts to be the
keystone King of the American
League. but when any authority sets
out to prove that the Columbia graduate
is the peer Of his contemporaries he
never rushes to the guide books for sta
tisticsl information on the subject.
A good way to find out just how swift
a fielder is, some persons think, is to
take the number of double plays a man
starts. Up to July l the American
Leaguers had rid their systems of $50
dual killings. the man who started most
of them being Collins. He took the
initiative in sixteen of his teams two
ply massacres.
The Johnsonites' swiftest shortstop,
according to the performances in the
doubie-pIay league, is Ray Chapman. OF
the Maps. He inaugUrated a dozen
plays that resulted in the retirement of
a pair Of runners. In figuring Chap
mans speed as an Inauguration Of double
plays IT should be remembered that he
often has been absent from the Maps
lineup because of injuries, and it is
possible that had he played all season
long, as has Collins. he would now have
started Just as many two-ply killings.
The third basemen who have started
the greatest number of double plays are
