0UTFIELD OF YANKS
HAS PROVED WORTH
BIZ JOHN Il. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, October 1.-Critics
who say that the New York Yankee
outfleld is defective, and may cos.
them the victory in the coming world
series, overlook some interesting
statistics.
In the four world series in which
the Y&nks have figured in recent
years. the Yankee outfielders accepted
1873 chances. The outfielders of the
Giants and of the St Louis Nationals,
the teams played by the Yankees, ac-
ceptcd only Us.
The Yankee outfield. despite its
great batting power, long has been
called unsafe in the field There seems
to be an impression that Meusel is
but an ordinary outfielder, and that
Babe Ruth is valuable only because
OF his batting. One critic recently
conceded that the BABE was "a pretty
good fielder for a heavy man. Yet
only last year Ruth led the right
fieldars Of the American League and
very nearly led all outfielders, no mat
ter which garden they titled.
The fact that Ruth is heavy seems
to blind the critics to the fact that he
is WOndef1uliV sure eaten, ana tnal
he gets more long flies than his rivals,
and more hard line hits. too, as he gets
under way very quickly. And the
fact that the Babe has just set new
home run record is an indication that
he hasen't gone back much OF late.
In the coming series, the Yankees,
IL they play Pittsburgh, as seems like
ly, will face the finest outfield combi

faced in a world series It's weakest

Paul Waner. and his brother. Lloyd
is little behind him. Tho Waners are
as good gogetters as Ruth and Combs.
Barnhart, though, isn't as good as Bob
Meusel MeuSel is one of the great
stars of the outfield, and that he is not
even greater is due to his indolent
manner.
Cuyler may play in the world series
for Pittsburgh. DOME BusIr is a man.
aCer who does as he thinks his team
can do best. Cuyler is better than
Barnhart in n mechanical way. but
because of his ego he is not a great
