A Vital Spot

DECKING at the averages dis
Il closes the vital spot In the
Washington armor. Where Peck
and Bucky Harris once were fore
most in running up a total OF
1853 double plays in single
season. today the Griffs rank
sixth. They have engineered 81
double killings, two more than the
White Sox and four more than
the erratic Mackmen.
The Yankees and the Red Sox
each have three more double plays
in their records than have the
champions. Detroit has 90, Cleve-
land 1913 and the despised St
Louis Browns lead the major
leagues with 121 twin killings
The Chicago Cubs, with 1T. lead
the National League and run Sec
ond to the Browns.
Detroit, st. Louis and New York
have made more miscues than the
Griffmen, but the champions in
field has not at any time this year
been the marvellous alright quar-
tet it was in 1924 and 1925.
Furthermore, the records don't
begin to show the hits that went
through the infield this year and
that were stopped in those PEN
