two triples, one home run and six
singles.
When you learn that the entire
Cleveland club has secured but
seventy-nine hits, you begin to real
ize just what a part he has played
in the Indians attack and why the
good burghers of Cleveland are a
trifle daffy over the youngster.
His best day came last Saturday,
when he batted an even 1000, get
ting three doubles, a triple and
single. He followed this blasting
performance with a homer and sin
gle on Sunday and a triple and
single Monday.
His GOODNESS under fire and easy
going nonchalance stamp Vosmik
as baseball natural. On his sec
ond trip up Monday he was forced
to hit the dirt to avoid one of
Waite Hoyt's fast ones. Unperturbed,
the youngster arose, busted himself
and slammed Hoyt'S next Offering
into the centerf1eld stands for a
triple.
So far, he has been a hitter with
out a weakness. High balls, low
balls, fast balls, slow balls, curved
ballS-all have met the same fate.
He apparently does not care whe-
Their he faces left-handed or right
handed pitchers. He hits to all
fields.
Spring hitters have a habit of
dropping badly by the time June or
July rolls around, and that goes
double for rookie sensations. But
