Third Base

This has not been what you
would call a big year among the
third basemen. In fact I believe
that for all around performances
this position falls below any other
on the 1881 team.
For the first time in several
seasons, Freddie LindStrom, of
the Giants, was not a contender
for the honors, a shift to the out
field ending his brilliant career
at third base. Pie Traynor, of the
Pirates, and LindStrom had
monopoliZed third base honors
for five years, Traynor winning
the award three times and Lind
Strom twice.
This year I have again picked
Traynor, though his stickwork has
been far below his standard for
several years past. Joe Strip, of
the Reds, is the only third base,
man Of the year who has stood
out as a hitter, but TraynOr'S all.

tors and Travis Jackson Of the
New York Giants. They were
the two leaders a year ago and
Cronin was, my selection then. as
he is this year. jackson had
been named in two Of the three
preceding years, but I believe Gro
min has just a little something, on
the brilliant Jackson. Cronin has
stood out as the best hitter
among the Shortstops this year,
and while his play has fallen a
little off his 1880 standard it was
good enough to keep him at the
top. A great fielder, and player
always huStling and full of pep,
he keeps his team keyed up all
the time, and he has been a big
factor again in keeping the Sena-
tors so high in the race. He is
at his best as a hitter with run
nerS on bases, and Jackson still
can rate as a great ball player
while trailing the Washington
star. Colbert and English are
two other topnotcherS among the
Shortstops. From a defensive
standpoint, Leo Durocher of the
Reds is undoubtedly the best
Shortstop in the game, but his
weakness as a hitter keeps him
out Of consideration for top
honorS.
The Washington times., 1931-09-05
Center Field

A newcomer to these teams
gets the center field berth which
last year went to Hack Wilson
of the Clubs, with plenty to spare.
Earl Averill of the Cleveland In
dians, is my choice for center
field. Averill has developed into
one of the great players Of the
American League and this year
he has performed brilliantly in
all departments.
His home run hitting alone
previous long-diStance hittin g
has been enough to break all
marks by any Cleveland player.
He has come to the front as a
ground coverer and fly hawk, and
tops his league in all-around play
though there are plenty Of high
class players in this position.
I rate Kiki Cuyler, a member
Of this team in three different
seasons, as the best at this po-
sition in the National League,
though not Averills equal on this
years play because Of the diff
ference in hitting power. West,
Combs, Haas and Berger also
have done we'll. though Haas has
been out considerably through in
jurieS.

First Base

Lou Gehrig is my choice for
first base and I do not believe
this selection will be the cause
of much debate. It has been a
fairly good season for first base
men, but Lou stood out above
his field in 6 rather decisive way
He batted up around $50 dur
ing a great part Of the season, ne
has been the leader or second in
hitting home runs. and he has
been topping both leagues in drlV-
ing runs across the plate.
All the time his defensive work
has been good and Lou didn't
miss a game all year. Bill Terry.
who was my 1880 choice for first
base, has come back well after a
poor start, but his work on the
entire season has been somewhat
behind that of Gehrig.
Eddie. Morgan, Of Cleveland,
has also had a good season,
though he has not beensgetting
so many long distance hits as he
did a year ago. Charley Grimm
and Jim Bottomley have also
done very well, but on all-around
effectiveness Gehrig clearly tops
the field.
