BaIIou and Smith Will Be Used
Against Boston, Peck
Wins Praise
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Times sports Editor

CHICAG o., Aug. g.. Roger
Peckinpaugh will not be voted the.
most valuable player to his club in
the American League this season,
but by all odds he should receive
that honor. He proved that in the
first game of this final visit of
the world champion Griffmen to
Comiskey Park, when he went to
first base in place of the injured
Joe Harris, who was also subbing
for the injured Joe Judge. All
the veteran shortstop did was to
drive in one run and score an
other, besides holding down his
fielding job without sign of sn
error, though playing first base
for the first time in his baseball
career.
In Luck, Says Peck
THAT was funny" explained
Peck after the game. tBucky
asked me if I could play first base
and I said could never played
a game of ball in my life on that
side of the diamond. Luck must
have been with me not to have
thinking of what / should do in
case something happened, but /
was always thinking like a short
stop. / was a lucky bird not to
have been kept busy"
Roger gave me wonderful
exhibition of gameness and team
play when he agreed to play first
base" was what Bucky Harris
said.
II saw him take a couple Of
throws at first base about month
ago Just as he was coming off the
field. I thought of that when Joe
Harris complained of his lame
shoulder.
Bucky Proud of Him.
Roger I asked, him, can you
play first base as favor to me
today?' He replied that If | had
nobody else he'd go in and do his
best. Well, you saw him. lie

on that last play of the game, when

base. He handled that as only
Roger Peckinpaugh can handle a
thrown ball. Believe me, I'm proud
Of him"
Roger Peckinpaugh will not be
voted worthy Of the honor OF being
the most valuable player to his
club in the American League, but
by all sorts of odds he is the most
valuable man in the ranks of the
world champions. With him out OF
the shortfield, double plays fall off
and opposing batsmen get many
hits he would cut off. He Is the
steady brain box of that intield
quartet, the man, who always
knows what to do and then does
II with the least flourish and with
out any noise whatsoever.

the coins. Imagine two such walls
running parallel to each other and
forming, as it were, long street. II
we keep on extending these walls for
