jimmy Ilerney, the Western League
recruit. failed to make good his early
promise. While James still is rated
at 300. his average has been held up
by his great slamming in the spring.
While Pittsburgh was losing it's entire
fve-game series in New York last
month. Manager Gibson found 1t
necessary to bench Tierney because Of
weak hitting and poor fielding and
return the crippled Cutshaw to Sec
end.
Johnny Rawlings came to the Giants
at an opportune time, and plugged up
q hole in McGraw's infield. But Raw.
lings Is not a high-class man and is
only a stop-gap until the Giants can
obtain a better man for the position.
Transferred from a tailender to a
possible champion, Rawlings played
his head off, and for a spell he was
playing above his normal gait. In the
past month, his batting has fallen off
considerably, while his fielding often
leaves much to be desired. But John
ry Is returning to his normal level.
In Aaron Ward. the Yankees have
one of the best young infielders in the
game. Ward originally came into the
league a shortstop. developed into a
rafting good third baseman in 1920,
snd now Is playing a dashing game
st second.
Ward is not yet perfect at second
base, and his failure to cover first
when Pipp came in for infield hits
twice proved costly for the New York
Americans. But Aaron is q natural
infielder, with the born knack Of sens.
d. a. .fA =
grasscutters. Some OF his stops be-
hind second base this season have
been fielding classics.
Ward still strikes out often, but he
is far more dangerous hitter this
year than he was last. When our
averages were closed, Ward was hit
ting .321, seventy-four points better
than last year. However. Aaron
hasn't been able to lift the ball for
home runs as he did last year. Ward
and Bob Meusel were tied last year
with eleven each. At the time of
writing Ward had only four against
nineteen for Meusel.
UH Wamby Is Leader.
Among the second basemen. Bill
wsmbsganss, unassisted triple play
hero Of the 1920 worlds series. Is the
leading fielder. WaInbsganss has had
far more experience in playing the bag
than Ward. and is we'll ahead of his
National League rivals. Rawlings,
Cutshaw or Tierney.
Though q broken bone in his right
wrist. the result Of training camp
accident, kept Wambsganss out of
the first third of the season, he has
been playing a bang.up game since
his return, and has teamed up as
nicely with young Sewell as he for
Ineriy did with the unfortunate Ray
Chapman.
wambsganns also has improved
considerably at bat since last season,
hitting .29S against .244 a year ago. !
The 1920 season was Wamby's poor
est batting season.
Riggs Stephenson. who played with |
Sewell in 1920 on the University OF |
Alabama team. started off the season |
at second for the worlds champions. |
"Stevie" proved q phenomenal hitter |
for q kid just out of college, as he
batted .338 when benched, but had
lots to learn in the field and was
especially weak on double plays.
