that Of Babe Ruth. From an un-
steady, crratic fielder, when he first
came to New York from the Browns,
Pratt has become one of the most de-
pendable in the game. His FIELDING
has been like clockwork, and there
was one stretch OF over month in
which he did not make an error.
Pratt also is having great batting
year, and is hitting .312, better than
at any time in his career. Owing to
his ability to hit in the pinch, he has
been put in the New York batting or
der behind the much walked Babe
Ruth And Del comes through!
Rath is not a brilliant player, but
he is steady and dependable The
game of the Cincinnati second base
man does not change much, splen-
did proof of which is his batting of
the last two years. He hit .264 at
the finish of last season. and the
latest averages show him hitting .264
for 1920.
His play in the 1919 worlds series
was not remarkable, but he made
some timely hits and finished the Sc
ries with the same batting average as
his illustrious second-base rival OF the
White Sox, Eddie Collins. Both men
hit .226.
Larry Doyle, second baseman of the
Giants. is one of the sweetest and
gamest characters in baseball. A
worlds series excitement may enable
Larry to emulate his great deeds of
1912, when, before the series of that
year, he was voted the most valuable
player in the National League. Larry
still can cuff the ball, and is hitting
Pa. a useful average.
But the fielding averages tell the
story of Larry's decline. He is last
among the contending second base
men with an average of .957. and in
only nine less games his total chances
are 1S7 less than those which Collins
got his hands on.
Petey Kilduff has been holding his
own very nicely since Wilbert Robin
son promoted him to his regular line
up He is a rather quiet sort of n
youngster, but occasionally leans hard
on the ball and sends II long way.
His batting average OF .275 this year
is his best in the majors.
His fielding also has been accept
able. nothing sensational, but II the
ball is hit anywhere near his reach
Petcy is there.
Wambsganss is a better player than
his 1920 averages show. In the early
part Of the race the Cleveland second
baseman hit next to nothing. In for.
mer years Wamby hit close TO 400,
but the season was we'll advanced be-
fore he started to get his eye on the
ball.
Despite much criticism OF his play,
Speaker stuck to him. and "Wamby"
has brought his average up to PA.
His helding also has been off, as he
has made more errors than any OF the
six contendinF second basemen.
