Harry Heilmann Is More
Valuable at First Base

Harry Heilmann is more valuable at
first base than in the outfield, writes
ii. G. Salsinger of the Detroit News.
He is a better fielder and. since he
was switched to the position, has
batted better.
1t was Samuel Crawford who first
pointed out that big man is better
at first than in the outtield.
There are few chances in the out.
field, and the big man, much slower
than the smaller outfielders, finds ii
difficult to start quickly after being
relaxed for comparatively long periods
of time 1t is more difficult for him
to spring into play.
There is little relaxation at first
base. The man playing the position
is kept fairly much on the move, and
big men, unable to relax at first. re-
main attuned.
Crawford, who hated to play first
base, admitted he could do much bet
ter there than in right field, where his
play was slow and cumbersome.
Heilmann. who has no such dislike
for first base play, does much bet
ter there than he ever did in the out
field.

BROOKLYN NEEDS
FIELD STRENGTH
Talk Trade of Dazzy Vance
for Better Players.

Two factions of the Brooklyn base
ball club are at present trading argu-
ments as to the wisdom of parting
with Dazzy Vance, the strike-out king
of National league pitchers, In ex-
change for bundle of currency and
some players.
One faction of the club holds that
Vance is the backbone of the team.
The other asserts that the retention
of the star pitcher will not improve
BroOklyn's prospects for the 1929 sea-
son because the team doesn't amount
to much outside of the pitchers box
Brooklyn could get more in cash and
players for Vance right now than any
other club could obtain for any other
pitcher in the United States-and IT
Is not certain at that whether Vance
is still in his best vigor.
Petty. the southpaw star, would like
to get away. If trade can be made
for Petty there is at least one club
that will take him-the Pittsburgh
Pirates. Manager DOME Bush of
Pittsburgh regards Petty as one of
the best left-handers in baseball.
Pittsburgh l.. in need of a high-class
| left-hander who can help the Pirates
swing along next year to their attempt
to beat st. Louis and Chicago in the
West and New York in the East
Brooklyn cannot get for Petty OF
/ course, what it could get for Vance.
Two or three seasons ago the Brook
Ign club was urged to trade Vance for
George Kelly and pile of coin but
would not do so, although in that sea-
son it was plainly evident that Brook
Ign had nothing but pitchers.
Petty and Elliott faltered somewhat
in 1923 but McWeeny was better than
ever and young William Watson Clark
proved to he more than mere prom
| Use. Despite that, Brooklyn would
not have been as well off in pitching
il Vance had not won from some Ma
tional league clubs with great decis-
iveness. He did best of all against
Boston, pitching six winning games
against that demoralized team. He
won one from the Phillies and lost
one, which was the most surprising
result o. all. From the Giants, DaZzy
won three games while losing two.
The st. Louis Cardinals lost three
games to him and won but two.
Vance's really greatest feat in 1923
was against the Chicago Cubs. He
won FIVE games from the Cubs and
| lost one of them-and that. with the
nonsuccess of the Cubs against the
Philies,~ is reason enough why the
Chicago team did not win the pennant
this year.

Ruth Started Yankees
on Big Winning Streak

Miller Higgins pointed out recently
that ii is difficult to keep up an az
gressive spirit in a team that has
long lead.
In 1927 the Yankees were IL games
in front on July 5. They appeared TO
have the pennant cinched. Then they
slumped.
Higgins became worried, but George
Herman Erhardt Ruth supplied a solu-
ton. Ruth decided that with the PEN
nant safely won for the Yankees he
could step out and win some indi-
vidual honors for himself and he went
after the home run record. Ruth
started clouting home runs with a
thrilling regularity and the Yankees
fell right into line. Behind Ruth's
smuggling the entire team began slug
ging with the result that the Yankees
made runaway race of it. They
won the pennant by 10 full games.
