It's How To Swat

NEW YORK. July Il = There's
a saying that figures don't lie. But.
sometimes they can be deceiying.
For instance, you probably wouldn't
think that ball player with bat,
ting average in the .260's was any
great shueks as a hitter.
But there's where you can be-
wrong Bill Nicholson OF the Chicago
Cubs, sporting an insignificant .267

boil on a hitter's value 1t shows the
ability to bang one when it counts.
The same situation exists in the
American league. Charlie Keller Of
the Yankees, with an apparently
puny average in the pos, is pacing
the circuit in RBI Ted Williams of
the Boston Red Sox is setting a fur
ious batting pace, with an everage
over 400 but he hasn't driven in as
many runs as Keller.
A number of players who habit
uaIly author season batting averages
under the select 800 line are actual
" of more offensive value to their
teams than the lads with impressive
$3.50 marks.
Take the cases of Cecil Travis of
the Senators and Dolph Camilli of
the Dodgers. Both have been in the
majors eight years. Travis has ife-
time batting average of 1922 while
Camillis is only .285. Yet Dolph has
knocked in $50 runs to Travis 480.
He has hit III home runs to Cecil's
Is and 65 triples to the Washington
infielder's "a He won't get as many
hits as Travis but he hits a longer
ball and connects more often when
there are ducks on the pond.
Here are some other hitters with
light averages and heavy RBI totals:
Joe Gordon of the Yankees, Hal
Trosky of the Indians, Joe Kuhel of
the White Sox, Bobby Doerr of the
Red Sox, Bob Johnson of the AS,
and Dominic Dallessandro of the

West opened the eight of hearts,
and South took stock briefly. There
were no losers in the major suits, but
there was considerable danger Of
losing three diamonds and the ace
of clubs. The heart suit offered the
best chance of disposing of a dia-
mond loser, so South scrutinlzed
that suit carefully.
The bidding made it quite clear
that East had the king and ten with
others of hearts and that West
had led his top heart And after
a moment, South saw that he could
surely set up a second trick in
hearts.
He won the first trick in dummy
with the heart ace and Immediately
returned the heart queen. East COW
cred with the king of hearts and
South ruffed with an honor. Ine
ace and low trump put dummy in
the lead and simultaneously drew
all adverse trumps. Then dummy
returned the nine of hearts. East
covered with the ten of hearts, and
once more South ruffed with an
honor.
And now dummy's seven of hearts
was the highest card left in the
suit. South, therefore, led his care
fully preserved low trump to dunn
my's ten and cashed the seven OF
hearts, discarding one of the losing
diamonds from his own hand. 1t
was then easy to set up two club
tricks and make the game contract.

Jewish People Observe
Festival Of Purim

The Jewish people today observed
In their homes and synagogues the
festival of Purim. concentrating
the victory of their ancestors over
the enemy Hannah.
The observance, starting at sun
down yesterday, marks the deliver
ance of the Jews from the Persians
in the fifth century B. c., and is
one OF the most joyous in the Jew
iSh calendar.
In synagogues, rabbis read the
Book of Esther, in which the story
of Hannah Is told. In their homes,
Jewish families lighted candles and
at three-cornered cakes known as
Hamantaschen," meaning Humans
pockets" Some scholars interpret
the word to refer to the fact that
Haman meant to line his pockets
with booty.
Services were held at the Adas
Israel Synagogue last night and
again early today. At 10 am. SUM-
day Jewish children will gather at
the Jewish Community Center for
a Purim program. A number of
dances and parties were also sched-
uled.
Purim also is known as the Feast
of Lots" because Haman was sup
posed to have cast lots to determine
which month was to be set for the
massacre. Esther, according to the
story, learned Of the plot and
