shortStop of the White Sox. Re-
Gently we asked Lefty Grove 10
name an all-Star team for us OF
players he had seen since he broke
in and he unhesitatingly picked
Appling as his Shortstop.
AND KREEVICH, TOO
And we venture 10 say that il
you should ask Gus O. Fan 70
name the best 10 outfielders in
the American League you would
not find Mike Kreevich listed
among them. But ask Joe Nc
Carthy manager of the YankS, or
any other ball player, just how
good Kreevich is and you'll be sur
prised at how highly he is rated.
Let's say you have been watch
inc the game for many years
How many first basemen have you
seen who could outfeld Dolph
Camilli of the Dodgers? Hal
Chase. George Sisler and perhaps
Bill Terry. Who else? And year
in and year out you can count on
Camilli scoring at least 100 runs,
driving in as many more and hit
ting about 25 homerS.
Rival ball players don't say
these fellows we've mentioned are
the best who ever played but they
do insist that they are much bet
ter than they are rated by the
public.
And among others more highly
esteemed by the players them
selves than by the average fan
We might mention Dixie Walker
o. the Dodgers. Taft Wright OF
