(Right Fieldersl

Right field promises to be the
weakest spot In the 1890 worlds
series unless Cleveland should be
. contender, in which event inabil-
ity to replace Ray Chapman, who
was killed by q pitched bail, may
introduce the Indian shortfield no
sition 40 the one farthest removed
from accepted big league stand
ards.
Indicative Of the untrustworthi-
ness Of the candidates Of the Brook
Ign, Cleveland and Chicago teams
is the fact that each club has two
men alternating in the sunfield.
OF the lot, however, Earl Smith OF
the Indians. has the cali for all
around value, although he IL not as
good fielder as Harry Leibold of
the Sox. Leibold, however, and
Tom Grifith, Brooklyn candidate,
are suffering from the effects Of a
years batting slump and neither
compares favorably with the In
dian, a 300 hitter.
: Bernie Neis, a rookie playing his
drst season in the big leagues, un-
doubleday will be Brooklyn's choice
for right field. for he has unusual
speed on the bases and in the out
fields and what he may lack in bat
ting ability, compared with Crit
fifth. is made up in his youth and
dash.
Figures On Work.
Statistics of the world series
prospective right fielders follow:
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1920-09-28

These figures show that Neis has
averaged more chances per game
than the other candidates, with
Leibold and Strunk next in order.
Strunk's weak arm, however, elm
mates him from consideration as
top notcher. Leibold, incidentally.
has thrown out eight more runners
than Bernie, who has also made
eight misplays to four for both Lei
bold and Smith. Griffith's slow
ness, in comparison with Neis and
the other right fielders, is attested
by his ability to average only 1.59
chances per game. With the ex-
ception Of Joe Woods 100 mark
for 81 games. Griffith's average Is
the lowest of the lot.
Leibold is the best base stealer
Of the right field group on his sea-
sons she wing, with 10 thefts to 8
for Neis. Smith has only S and
Griffith and Wood each.
Smiths advantage at bat, shown,
by his .312 average. Is further
proved by a study of his hits. which
include IS doubles. rs triples and
IL homo runs. Solid swats Of this
type made with such frequency.
easily entitle the Indian to front
rank among the right field pros
poets.
Word About Murphy.
Right here, q word should ba
said about Eddie Murphy OF tbe
Sox, the worlds greatest pinch hit
ter. Eddie batted 102 times in a
games and delivered So hits, prac-
tically every one of which came
with one pal or more on the paths.
His 1858 average, therefore. is all
the more remarkable. and he can
be. counted on to make an ~auspi-
cious appearance provided the Sox
win the pennant and need emer-
gency help during the series. Eddie
hasn't played much in the outfeld.
but he is q fairly accurate neider
and fast, although handicapped by
a peculiar style Of catching the bali
that gives base runners big adj
vantage.
High lights OF right neld play
during the season were:
Grifith had stretch OF seven
games, starting Juno 2, in which he
handled Is putouts and l assist,
averaging nearly three per game.
Starting Aug. q he handled IL put
outs ia four straight games. He
once had 6. putouts and In four
games had I each. His most re-
variable batting vas in seven
games, from July 3 to s, when hs
boosted his average from .z47 70

Neis slumped from .713 to .l57
at the start Of the season. but grad

indicating that q run OF bad luck

one Of the numerous long games q

other world series outhelders had

It was Waddy Kuehl's S2-yard
run for 4 touchdown in Sundays
game with the st. Paul Ideals that
stamped him as the best ground
gamer OF the game. Kuehl gained
six yards in one play through the
line. q yards for touchdown on
an end run and scooped tumble
for a three-yard gain, making a
game total of 11S yards.
The honor of best line-plunger
goes to Jerry Mansfield with a to-
tai gain OF so yards. Jerry's total
gains were boosted to IS yards
when he scooped up 4 tumble ami
advanced Is yards. Jerry's line
plunging accounted fo- a majority
of fisrt downs. He was not thrown
for a single loss. in this respect.
Mansfield has the call. He is with
out doubt the best ,ine-bucker in
the professional field.
Chicken and Novak played true to
form, both In bucking line and run
ming the ends. Oke Smith gave the
fans 4 taste Of his stellar work on
the receiving end Of forward pass
by peeling OF a 20-yard gain. Ur-
sella's work was below par in point
OF ground-gaining, "Rube" being
accustomed to running often for
substantial gains. His one eud
run Sunday netted q yards. How
ever, "Rube" displayed rare judy
ment in choosing the best backs for
the largest gains.
Sid Nichols demonstrated his
ability to gain ground through any
part Of the line. Sid's style is quite
similar to Mansneld's. He hits the
line like q thunderbolt and is hard
to stop.

action four times last winter, they

BALM FOR. THE FOLKS.
Since several tri-city football
players were released last Saturday
from further trials with the indie
pendents, an undercurren, Of dis
satisfaction has been going the
rounds against the judgment in let
ting out Fat" Smith, Louis Kohls,
Meluskey. Engle, etc. This per-
verted sentiment has been assalIed
loyalty to the Independents, who
stand on the threshold Of a cham
pionshp campaign.
It should be remembered that the
selection Of players is solely a mat
ter for those in direct charge Of the
team and that to-produce the best
eesplts, their judgment should not
be challenged. Several of the men
who were released have played tri-
city football In former years and
were looked upon as stars. Never
theless. Rock Island professional
football has advanced to such a
high standard of all-around class
that it is doubtful il the stars of
former years could stand the gaff.
These are not entirely the per-
sonal views Of The Sportscope, but
also those Of Coach ursella, whose
privilege 1t is to choose whom he
may among available players. But
you can bet on "Rube" picking the
best man. He didn't fail Rock Is
land last year and 1t i safe to say
he won't this season.
