have during the present American
League pennant race, the Giants VIII
have hard time negotiating steals. In
the first 131 games this season the
number of larcenies per game on Lapp,
Schang and Thomas was 1.24. Only
1913 thefts were permitted.
Eighty-one bases were flched on
Jack Lapp in IS games, 81 on Wallie
Schang in 81 games; % on Ira Thomas
in 20 games. Only four times this
season have the opposition succeed in
getting more than four stolen bases
in one game.
Schang has proved to be the Ath-
letic catcher hardest to steal on, the
average number of thefts charged
against him per game being 0.S3. The
other backstops have allowed more
than one larceny to the contest.
Thomas average being lis and
Lapp's 1.19.
Schang also leads the Mack catch
ing corps in thwarting steals. He
has nailed 81 would be pilferers. Lapp

better record is due to tn efact that
he has participated in more games.

a quartet of victims in tn egame with
