set the ravages OF wear and tear.
The other National league first
basemen have not the class Of the
American leaguers. The figures iudi-
cate that they are almost as strong
in their own league as the American
leaguers are in theirs, but you must
remember that these dope" figures
are not comparisons OF men or Of
leagues. They represent the position
values OF players with their own
teams. For instance, suppose the
figures showed that Speaker ranks
higher than Cobb II would not mean
that the figures indicated that Speak
er was a better ball player. It would
mean that Speaker. with the Cleveland
team, is more valuable than Cobb is
with Detroit for the simple reason
that Cobb must bat in 20 games
against Cleveland's strong pitching
staff. while Speaker viii get 20
cracks at DetrOit's much weaker
pitchers. I do not know that the
figures show this. but use IL TO IL

Remember that in considering the
dope and also the fact that the dope
value Of a player may depend. not
upon himself, but upon the men on
the team with him. His position on
the batting order may change his
value and, more than that, his team
mates may help or hurt him. For in
stance, a right handed batter with the
Boston Red Sox figures higher on that
team than he would on almost any
other because Of the fact that oppos-
ing teams viii use left handed pitch
