Each Worlds Series Has Developed
an Idol Of Base Bsll--Who Will
IL Be This Yeari
RED sox HAVE TEN VETERANS

4 NEW YORK, oct 2-Who will rise up
from seeming obscurity and become the
world series hero Of 1852
Practically every world series since
the ser.esing business began in 1900. has
produced somebody who rose 20 the
heights and became the idol az base ba J.
Last year, you'll remember. st was
Hankerinous Gowdy. Before the series
began Hank wasn't figured as anything
wonderful IN the way OF siuggcr He
could hit. yes: but compared with Eddie
Collins. Frank Baker. Joe Connolly and
the other sluggcrs Hank wasn't con-
ceded to have a look-in as a batting star.
Yet he was the real clouting demon OF
the series.
Hank made six hits during that series
OF four games and every one counted in
the scoring. Four OF them were doubles.
another was triple. and the sixth was
q home run smash that saved the third
game for the Braves In the tenth in
ning. when Il seemed hopelessly lost.
Gowdy hit for an average Of .54s in
that series, which. in select Bostonian.
can be classified as some hitting.
whitley Robe starred la 400.
II was Whitley" Robe who was the
brightest star In that 1906 White sox
against Cubs series. Robe was looked
upon as a substitute third-sacker. He
was showed into the game because there
was no one else to play at the time
Robe was considered the weak member
OF the White sox infield. yet IL was
Robe whose wonderful fielding saved
the White Sox pitchers time and again,
and II was the great batting Of Robe
that paved the way 20 the White sox
victories.
Baker the 1911 Hero.
Frank Baker assumed the role OF hero
IN the 1911 series. Baker always was
slugEer. but he jumped into everlasting
fame by winning one game OF the series
with a home run belt and following Il up
the next day with another circuit
smash that gave the Athletics another
victory over the Giants. and cinched ths
worlds championship for the Philadel-
phlana
In 1913 "a Was doe Bnsh.
Bullet Joe" Bush got his name and
picture into nearly all the papers during
the 1918 series because OF the wonderful
game he pitched against the Giants.
