Overall Mark Of Isl
5poinis Under 1853;
Yankees Lead Again

Despite the return Of the sacrt-
fice dy rule, which doesn't charge
q player with q time at bat when
q runner scores on . fair OUT
field dy, the American League
suffered 4 severe batting relapse
last season, records just released
disclose.
The leagues overall batting
average Of .257 dipped five points
from the 1853 figure. Without
the benefit Of $40 sacrifice flies,
the leagues average would have
been ass, as compared with the
.262 mark Of 1853 computed on
the same basis.
The New York Yankees again
led with 1853 average, but this
represented q drop OF five points
from their 1853 league-leading
team average. Without their ~
sacrifice flies the Yankees would
have batted 1856. as compared
with .273 last year.
SO Fewer Home Runs.
There were 823 home runs. 56
less than last year, and there
were fewer hits, runs and doubles.
Production Of triples was
boosted from sac to 358. but
the triple Is demonstrated as .
comparatively oyer-rated weapon.
The sixth-place Senators led the
ieasue in triples with SO. Cleve-
land, the pennant winner, had
emily 30 three-baggers, but
blasted i56 home runs to pace
the league. The Indians tied
the Senators for the fewest
doubles. 1853.
Mickey Vernon. washington
FIRST baseman. led the league in
doubles for the third time with
%. He previously led In 1946
with 81 and In 1853 with 43,
winning the batting champion
ship those years. Bobby Avila
displaced him o. the batting
champion with his .341 average.
Roy Sievers Of the Senators,
AL Rosen Of Cleveland and
Jackie Jensen Of Boston tied for
the most sacrifice flies, II. In
Sieyers' case the sacrifice fly
rule meant a difference of Is
points. He batted .232 and with
out the rule would have been q
alt hitter.
Minnie Minoso Busy.
Minnie Minoso of the White
Sox led in triples with 18, hit
for the most total bases. 304,
and was caught stealing most
times; II. Jensen led the league
In stolen bases with ~, but the
best percentage in that depart
nnent was compiled by the Sem
ators' Jim Busby, who tried 10
steals and made good II times.
Nelson Fox Of the White Sox
and Harvey Kuenn Of the Tigers
tied for the most hits, 201. Avila
laid down the most sacrifice
bunts, 10.
LARRY Dolby Of the Indians
captured the runs batted In
cfoWn with 126. one more than
the Yankees Yogi Berra. It was
the fourth year In which Dolby
drove In more than 100 runs.
His "a honers led the league.

NEW york. Dec. 1.-THE
enthusiasm Of Charlie Dresser Is
limitless. It Is impossible for
him to be bored If the topic Is
baseball. The course Of his career
doesn't discourage him. He dis
scusses his sport with q Joyous
candor. It doesn't appear TO mat.
ter to him what position he holds
in the game. It's all right with
him whether it's with Brooklyn
or Oakland or Washington. Sell
dom have / met b man in any
line who gets more pleasure out
of his work.
It is as though the world ended
at the outfield fences, ! sat with
him for three hours the other
day. 1t was q meandering inter-
view and Dresser did most of the
talking. There was no expression
of regret over leaving Brooklyn.
although it is plain he liked mani
aging the Dodgers. He now runs
the Senators and he will give
them all his knowledge and his
time: he'll talk baseball on the
trains and in the hotel rooms
and address banquets on the SUBJ
ject or lean against a bar and
explain what he knows.
Few Better Managers.
There have been few better
managers in our time, although
Dresser wasn't appreciated in
Brooklyn. I sighted him because
I figured he had a better team
than he had. But he held them
together and riled them with
his Grabbed harangues and
soothed them when they were
angry and he deceived a lot of
them into believing they had
more skill.
It was one of the grievous err
rors of sports. that Walter
O'Malley, president Of the Dodg-
ers. allowed Dresser to get away
from Brooklyn. Charlie was
shaped to manage there and that
was his ball club and they still
miss him. He will help Washing
ton because he has a lot of sound
theories about how baseball
should be played and he will an
noy them into hustling and
churn up animosity for himself.
Dresser gets paid to manage
ball club and he isn't running
for office and his innocently saw
age truthfulness alienates lot
of people. So I'll allow him to do
the talking for the rest Of this

By GrontIond Rice

fThis is the 11th OF "a ar
ticles from Grantland Rice's
autobiography, "The Tunlult
and the Shouting.")
The first time saw Babe Ruth
was in April, 1919, at Tampa.
Babe blasted one batting prac-
tice pitch clear out of the park
into a ploughed field. I gauged
that trip as about 500 feet-not
bad. even without a publicity
man around to check the dis
tance with tape measure.
While Ruth hit. I watched, and
Ed Barrow. the Red Sox man
ager, talked.
Ruth was our main holdout,"
Barrow said. Hes been signed to
a three-year contract. At "a, this
fellow can become the greatest
thing that's happened to base
ball"
Babe" / said, II was watch
ing your swing. You swing like
no pitcher ! ever saw"
II may be a pitcher, but first
of I'm hitter" said Babe. II
copied my swing after Joe Jack
sons. His is the perfectest."
OF all the sluggers the adj
vent Of the lively ball has
spawned. Babe was the only one
I ever knew who never shortened
or choked his grip when the
count reached two strikes. He
gripped his bat with the knob of
the handle ''palmed" in his right
hand and swung it in a perfectly
timed swing. The Babe liked
plenty of lumber in his war
clubs. Many of his bludgeons
weighed ~ ounces -a about a
half-pound more than the aver
age bat.
Thorpe Running Team.
That spring the Red Sox and
McGraw's Giants played a four
out-of -seven exhibition series at
Tampa. A Giant rookie that
spring was Jim Thorpe. I still
feel the main reason McGraw got
rid of jim was that Thorpe was
turning his team inside out--in
friendly wrestling matches. I
hung arouna for several games
to watch Ruth hit and play left
field. In the first game he hit
the longest ball ever saw
some six miles over the right
centerfield fence.
Bill McGeehan of the. New
York Tribune. who didn't impress
easily, wrote: "The ball sailed
so high that when it came down
it was coated with ice." Babes
home-run hitting ability practi-
cally wrote his finish as a pitcher.
That was OK. with Babe. Ruth
the outfielder no longer would
have to muscle his way in.
I 1T was sorta rough at that"
he commented years later.
Pitchers aren't supposed to
clutter up the batter's box trying
to hit during practice. / saw no
! reason why shouldn't take my
licks. I'd get them. usually, but
there were times I'd 60 to my
locker next day and find my bats
sawed in half"
