Bell also has improved as a fielder,
though he is not as f1ashy as Traynor
nor Dugan, nor as good in coming
in for slow hit ball as Jumping
Joe. Dugan does that about as Well
if not better. than any one since
the days of Jimmy Collins.
Early in the season Dugan ran
wild at bat. Hits simply bounced off
his bat and opposing pitchers
couldn't get him out. For quite
spell Dugan was leading his league
in hitting. Then he had his right hand
split with a hot liner. an injury which
laid him up for about a month.
Some time during that lay-Off. Du-
gan's newly found batting knack again
left him. He has hit especially poorly
in the last month. For a time those
Spring hits kept Joe's figures above
300, but recently his average has tum
bled to .282.
In his past two world series, Dugan
was fairly dangerous hitter and one
of Huggins' defensive stars. He hit
$50 in 1922, the year in which the
Yankees were routed, and .280 in 1928,
the series, which Huggins won hand
lily lIOl1t lHt III lilC AbNtNA
series, Joe whacked out a homer with
two men on base.
TraynOr Has No Weakness.
Hal "Pie" Traynor, Pirate third
baseman, is the best man at that po
sition now in the game, though that
statement may be questioned in st.
Louis. However. Traynor stands up in
every department of the game. He is
born star, player without a per-
ceptible weakness.
He was one of Mckechnie's aces in
turning the Washington tide in the
last world series. "Pie' was bull
wark on the defense, and drove in
many valuable runs.
Lee Dresser. Cincinnati's new third
sacker. doesn't compare with the
other third sackers considered. Lee
was a great fielder in the minors, but
he has been bothered this year with
lame shoulder and was unable to do
himself justice. The left side of Hen
bricks inffeld has been Jacks big
problem this year.
Should either the Cardinals or Pi-
rates win. would give both of these
clubs a decided edge at third base,
largely because of the superior batting
of Bell and Traynor over Dugan. And
in considering Dugan's average, l am
considering what he has hit since Au-
gust 1. Dugan on the other hand.
would get decided edge over Dresser.

Just before going to press the Red
wood Falls fire department answered
an alarm turned in from the Phebe
Fuller farm west of town. Upon arriv-
ing on the scene the whole upper
structure of the building was a mass
of flames and the cistern had but two
feet of water which was soon ex-
hausted.
The citizens of Redwood Falls re-
ponded to the call and nearly every
thing that was of value was carried
out from the burning building.
According to Mr.. Fuller, as far as
he knows there is no insurance on
the building which is owned by his
mother. The building took but few
hours to burn itself out and the fire
men and spectators stood powerless
to assist.
This is the fifth of series of fires
that has taken place in a short time
where the cause or origin has been
unknown. The fire started in the attic
giving the helpers a chance to re
move the household goods before the
building was consumed.
