NldY THEY CALL HIM 'GOODY'
Priesser, Red Sox Second Stacker,
Good at Bat, in Field and on Bases
big Asset to Club.

When we look over the leading in
fielders of this section we must pause
a moment and give the second sacker
of the local Red Sox more than a
passing glance. "Goody" Priesser as
he is known TO his teammates has
proven his worth time and time again
this season by shis hard and consist
ent work in the field, at the bat and
on the bases. The following figures
vii prove of interest to the fans OF
this city who have but small chance
TO see him in action this year. In
is games he has gone to plate So
times, crossed the tally station 10
times, poled out an even score of hits,
which include doubles. triples and
one circuit clout,. for an average of
.223. He has stolen bases and been
passed 4 times and been hit by
opposing pitcher once. His timely
hitting has driven 10 of his teammates
over the plate.
On ground balls he is the best in
the state if the word of Manager
Donovan of Norwich is one of any
value. His work in the field shows
a putouts, the same number of
assists and a total of > errors for
the splendid average of .946.

tories in sport history have added an
international trophy to the nations
collection.
England challenged for the cup

swatting of the games greatest slugr
gers.
Only once has the record made by
Delehanty been seriously threatened
and strangely enough Iris Speaker
was the player to turn the trick.
In 1912, as member of the Boston
Red Sox, Speaker made So two-base
hits, falling just three doubles shy Of
the Delehanty mark.
This year is looks very much as II
Speaker would break the mark set by
the famous slugger of other days.
Having already passed the 40 mark
and with about SO games still to go 1t
seems Speaker is certain to turn the
trick unless he experiences terrific
slump.
Speakers batting this year has been
phenomenal when it is considered that
he got away to very bad start, for
weeks being under the 800 mark. In
addition, he has the woes of manager
to divert his attention.

(By Billy Evans)

When Babe Ruth made his 20 home
runs in 1919 he broke major league
record that had stood for more than
score of years.
Then, just to show that his perform
ance was no fluke, Ruth came back
with 81 circuit swats in 1920 and set
his high mark with So in 1921.
1t looks as if the So homers in one
season will stand for a long time
despite the lively ball and short
fences.
iris Speaker, manager of the Cleve-
land Indians, now threatens another
swat record that has stood for years.
Spe akers goal is directed at the two
base record rather than the home
run mark.
Back in 1889, Ed Delehanty made
Sc two-base hits in tse National
League. That mark set by Delehanty
70 years ago has stood up against the
