His average for the three con-
tests was IL 1-3 and it is a question
whether any ball player ever rolled
up anything like that for nine games
in row. Keep in mind that all three
were regulation nine Inning affairs
not less nor not more than nine
frames-thus adding to the unusual
ness of the st. Louis shortstop's achieve
ments.
When managers get together there
always is a lot of Dragging about
their shortStops. Fohl has insisted,
against the opinion of more than one
manager. who thought he had a prize
package at short, that Gerber could
play all around any rival, and to date
he has the best of the argument. His
last words as he finished training his
crew this season were Watch Gerber.
He'll bear all kinds of it,"
Here is the season just budding
into childhood and Gerber already
has set mark for all the shortstops
to shoot at.
If Robertson, Brown third sacker,
hadn't got in the way of an easy
grounder to Gerber in the second
game on Decoration day the short
stop would have had tweleve chances
for the second time in one day and
his record would then, of course. have
DSCiI lt"cHly -IouE d udH.
Another infielder who has been do
ing stunts is Smith of the Boston
Nationals. Ever since they have been
playing him at second he has been
in the front row. He has twice ac-
cepted nine chances and one day
gobbled in eleven.
Conlon has dropped out at second
up Boston way because he did not hit
hard enough, and Ford was out tenn
porarily. A lot of switching around
against left-hand pitchers seems to
be the policy at Boston.
Reb Russell SIumps Badly.
One of the mysteries of the season
is the awful collapse in batting of
Russell, Pittsburgh's right fielder. In
training he wasn't hitting the ball to
suit even himself this spring. and the
Cincinnati pitchers Dragged they
would get him this year and keep him
from being any great menace to the
National League.
To date Russell has batted about
200. That's the worst shrinkage in
history. When he broke into the Ma
tional League in 1922 he started to re-
duce all the fences in the circuit to
kindling wood. Barney Dreyfuss
grinned and said he had the batting
wonder of the universe. 1t was at
McKechnie's suggestion that Russell
was brought out of the American AS
sociation. where he had been subur-
baniZing.
This year the once pitcher. always
good hitter, can't hit the pill hard
enough to scratch it. His pitiful to-
tai of about 16 hits in twice as many
games is the worst record he ever
made. He acted like a man with
premonition at Hot Springs, and Nc
kechnie should have trained him
against premonition instead of for
his muscles and batting eve Natu-
rally his weakness at bat has showed
the frosting of the Pittsburgh cake
right back into the heart of it. and
the Pirates, instead of having the
hardest hitting outfield. have been
worrying along with one of the other
kind. That is part of the reason why
they didn't board the Giant raft and
sink il, as their friends said they
would.
