soon will join the Mats and he'll dis
place Gil Torres, merely fair third
baseman 20 years old and with a
batting average of .285 for so games
this season. because he-Clift-is a
more experienced big Lacquer and is
supposed to hit a longer ball than
the Cuban.
According to Clark Griffith, presi-
dent of the Mats, Cliff is due here
any day now and he won't be
around very long before he gets into
the lineup. Manager Os Bluege
has said he may employ Cliff in
fourth or fifth place in the batting
order because of the third baseman s
ability to clout the ball to the far
reaches of the field.
Fielding Edge Is Granted.
It's granted that Cliff has plenty
on Torres as fielder around third
base. He is keen defensive player
while the Cuban still lacks polish
af1eld. Torres has displayed a pro-
nounced weakness in handling
grounders batted to his right and
his play of bunts leaves much to be
desired.
AS to Cliffs superiority as a long
distance hitter-wen, the new Nat
will have to better his recent records
to gain much stronger rating than
Torres has earned.
Torres this season has made 81
hits, II of them doubles and one a
triple. Cliff in 1l3 games last year
made 81 hits. He clouted II doubles
