there have been better individuals in
the series in previous years, but it has
been long time since there were fve
shortstops as clever as those holding
down the positions now.
Also there are some good first base
men in the series. That position is well
taken care of on all the teams, espe-
cial!y so on four. The fifth man is a
fairly clever fielder. but would be
eliminated from a chance to make all
star honors because of the superior
batting capabilities of all the others
One of the men is q better hitter than

fielding that some OF the players have
shown. 1t looks like q toss-up between
