According TO the Western critics,
the Sox's success depends entirely
upon how long the lineup can be
kept intact. Whether or not the
Chicago team viii equal the record
Of the 'hitless wonders" or even
live up to the predictions Of the
sharps, remains to be seen.
The other Chicago team the
Cubs, is not faring so well, and
the 81 told you so' lads are already
chirping. The Cubs started out like
Q whirlwind and for q time were
the league leaders.
Now they seem headed downward
20 the berth picked for them before
the season started. Manager Joe
Mccarthy Is going to be given a
lot Of notice because of his views
on certain subjects and because OF
the amount OF new material, re-
gardless OF how his team plays.
Mccarthy broke into the ranks
0f big league managers with the
reputation Of being q picker OF
men, and the Chicago fans were
pretty much expecting him to
accomplish maFveIs equaling, il
not SURPRISING, the bits Of wiz
ardry accomplished by Buclxy
Harris two years ago.
Joe is q keen student of the
game and a great believer in per-
centages. For instance. he favors
left-handed hitters in certain spots
On the batting order because they
are less likely to hit into double
plays. On this same percentage
basis he figures a hard-hitting third
baseman, who is only q fair fielder,
is more valuable than q star fielder
who cannot hit.
His explanation is that ordinarily
q third baseman has so few field
ing chances in a course of three
or four cams, the difference be-
tween the star fielder and the aver
age player viii be only about two
or three assists. Daily persuals of
the box scores seem to bear out Nc
Carthy's theory. One must also
remember that not all of the batted
balls the average fielder misses are
converted into runs.
