In one game LaZZeri had but a sin
gle chance, once he had only two and
twice but three. -Four times he has
had four chances and seven times his
total has been five.
I,azzeri Is nimble enough and alert
enough and hops around like grass
hopper in fun possession of his facul-
ties. His hands are excellent and his
disposition sunny. and Little Italy is
inclined to hold him next in respect
To MuSsoini. Uut something makes
the ball hesitant to go his way. and

Veteran Observers Puzzled
II doesn't worry fazzeri. because
the Yanks are stringinS along in the
American League with plenty to
spare, but the phenomenon puzzles
old base ball men.
Good pitching may have something
to do with II. but even then it would
he figured that I.azzeri occa sionally
would get o. series of games in which
the ball would call on him quite fire.
Quently. ff the thing keeps up he will
surely have record that no winning
second be sernan ever before possessed
In a ajor league season. Often
second sacksr makes a pitcher good
by giving him superb support. but
here is a case of second baseman
willing to work and the ball doesn't
go his way often enough to keep his
hands warm.
Cards May Yet Land High.
If the Chicago Cubs hadn't eaten
the hide off the ST. louis Cardinals
in the early part Of the year. the
Cards probn bly, would he in the lead
IN the National League race today.
II is timely to call attention To this,
because ST. Louis has been. doing
pretty we'll asainst Cincinnati.
II the st. Louis team proves to
he a good Organization on the road
this bunch Of hard hitting and
speedy young bali players is likely -
he as prominent In the pennant race
as any other favorite. because it
never has reached it's normal bat
ting capacity so far this year. In
the long run, st. Louis may outbat
Cincinnati and by the time August
approaches it will become more and
more apt that the best batting team
will have the best chance to become
National League champions Col
lectively, National League batting is
rather feeble.
A competent judge of ball players
says that Thompson. second base
man of the Buffalo club. is the best
PLAYER he ever saw in minor
league. The Pirates did well when
they let Moore rest and Rhyme play.
but if Bill Mckechnie had courage
he would have kept Thompson and
let the Kid play second. where he
would have been the sensation of
the wear in the National League.
