DOPE is ACCURATE
But given players and their recorus
We should be able to figure out IN au-
vance what they will do when assembled
into teams This season, with its numef-
Gus changes, ought to be proof OF TINS
statement il we can succeed IN doping
them A great many players, managers
and experts ridicule the idea of doping
baseball then go ahead and unconscious
Nv do it themselves On ething is GER
tain, the grading of players is far more
accurate than the grading of school
children, or Of civil service candidates,
and far more accurate and certain than
the dope on race horses, for the simple
reason that the chances Of mishap in
baseball are much less than in racing
and because we have better figures and
more consistent performers.
Years ago, almost a quarter of cen
fury ago, 1 started to work out sys-
tenn of doping ball teams 1t was crude
and wrong in many respects, yet it indl-
Gated better than anything else at that
time the trend of the races. One year,
by using it, placed all the first 10 clubs
of the old 12-club league. Each year
as [ studied the figures and the men l
altered the system. Perhaps it is not
perfect, but it works we'll as a rule and
almost every year it is possible to fore
tell approximate ly the percentage of VIC
tories and defeat of each club
TOUGH JOB
This year, of course, Will be a tough
one because so many players are liable
to be called to arms. A large number of
players already have gone and the next
call will hit some clubs harder than
others We are fo1ced to calculate the
probabilities of tt players being called,
and, having see fred accurate lists of
those in the firJt call, [ have deducted
from the position values of those men
In the figures that are to follow.
Some teams Will be hit harder than
others, hit in vital spots. However. l
do not anticipate now that the draft will
alter pennant chances of any club to
any degree sufficient to change their
position. In fact, 1t is questionab Bile
whether, even if called, the men will be
taken from their clubs until the decisive
period of the season is over
The one big danger to the dope is that
men if selected early, will be sen. TO
camp in the early fall at the critical
stage of the race and then only two or
at most three clubs in each league would
! be affected.
SYSTEM is SIMPLE
The system of doping which we are to
follow is not complex. 1t is based upon
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1918-04-01

the figures of actual performances OF
players as shown by the record BOOKS.
1t is not, as many have supposed, a COM
parison of players. Many players resent
comparison with others and fail to real
TIE that this system no more is one OF
comparison than are the official pat
ting, base running and fielding avefaseS
upon which they are based.
In the first place the entire system IL
founded upon the fact that the offensive
and defensive powers of teams are not
equal If the defensive value of team
equalled it's offensive value then no team
would ever score run
The fact that We must, for instance,
calculate how many games Evers VIII
play at second for the Red Sox, how
many McInnis will play, and then strike
an average in proportion to the number
OF games they take part in makes the
doping more complicated.
TAKE YOUR FIGURES
Anyone can do this. You can take this
system and your own estimates of the
strength of players and figure out your
own dope if you have time and lead
pencils enough to do it. But | warn
against anyone relying upon his own es-
Inmates. l don't 1 take cold figures
ard / take the word of ballplayers who
have worked with and against the men
Whenever there is any doubt. OF course.
ny task is easier, because having carried
the majority of the men on the books
year after year, all 1 must do in the
majority of cases is to amend the fig
ures to conform with the performance
of the player the preceding season.
1t is lots of fun if you like figures
Ct don'D. especially when, after grading
about 400 players, studying the form OF
the minor leaguers and adjusting it to
the majors you begin to add up and as
semble them into clubs.
That is the way to do 1t and in the
next article I'll show what my study
of the first basemen of the major
leagues has revealed.
