best in the major leagues and their
work undoubtedly will be watched
with keen interest during the cham
pionship contests.
Considered broadly, the men who
will form the last lines of defense
for the contending teams measure up
to all the requirements sought in out
er gardeners.
Defensively they are sure and
quick judges of fly balls, steady on
grounders past the infield, possess
powerful arms and can make quick
decision when there is choice of one
or more plays. Offensively some of
the greatest hitters in either league,
in addition to fast base-runners are
I included.
But, if the records make by the
various men this season may be tak
en as an accurate criterion of their
ability, the White Sox gardeners
have the edge on their opponents.
Enough for Controversy.
The mention of such men as
Felsch, Jackson and Liebold, veterans
of the 1917 world’s series against
th e New York Giants, coupled with
those of Roush, the leading slugger
of the Rod aggregation Neale, Ma
gee and Duncan, a new comer, is
sufficient to start controversy among
th e fans regardless of what the fig
ures say. Already there is talk that
Roush will outhit the mighty Jack
son, and that Felsch and Liebold,
will not compare with Neale, Magee
and Duncan.
Duncan is a fair batter but a fast
fielder. His hitting will not compare
with that of Jnct’ron, who is tonning
the White Sox. w'th an average which
has been hovering around .350 the
latter part of the season. Duncan
has been hitting around .255, while
his fielding average has been around
.962. That of Jackson has been
around .971.
There is some doubt just how the
outfielders will lin e up for the open
ing game. Manager Gleason will
have Jackson in left field, and Felsch
in center. The right field will be as
signed to either John Collins or Lie
bold, the choice for this position rest
ing upon whether Manager Moran
sends a right hander or a southpaw
to the mound in the opening game.
May Shift »t Last Moment.
Th e Reds will have Duncan, their
new man in the left field garden,
with Rou«h opposing Felsch in center
field. Neale will be assigned to the
right field position. However, Man
ager Moran at the last moment may ,
decide to shift these players and send
Sherwood Magee, a veteran to the
out garden in the opening conflict.
There should be an interesting
struggle between the veteran Jack- ’
son for the White Sox and Duncan I
Moran’s rookie. Duncan never has .
been under fire in a series of this
kind but his work since joining the
Red aggregation has been of such
AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
class that he has displaced the vet
> eran Magee, and he may give Jack
son a good run. Jackson’s batting
. has been one of the big assets of the
, Gleason tribe. He has a wonderful
ly strong arm which has cut many a
run off at the plate. He can cover
more ground than his younger rival,
j and is fielding around .971 to Dun
’ I can’s .962,.the averages being those
‘ of the first part of September.
, ; Roush will be pitted against Felsch
iin the center garden. Both these
players have thousands of admirers
for each is one of the stars of his
league and a real battle is expected.
Roush, who one time tried to make
the White Sox team but was found
wanting, has climbed the ladder of
fame and today is one of the best
hitters in the National league, hav
ing an average of more than .300
almost the entire season. He is a
■ good fielder, with a mark around
I .987, has a good arm and covers a
lot of ground. This will be his first
! world’s series.
Slump For Felsch.
Felsch, on the other hand, suffer
ed a slump in his batting this year,
I but has been a dangerous man in the
, ■ pinch and has boosted his batting
mark to about .259 while his fielding
average for the greater part of the
i year .974. He is rated by many ex
' perts as the greatest outfielder in the
American league. Felsch is a play
er who can go to any corner of
the field and get them, has a lot of
I speed and a powerful arm. Toward
the close of the season Felsch showed
signs of recovering his batting eye.
Roush’s marks during the first part
i of September was .319.
I In comparison, these two players
I will about break even, as where one
outshines the other in hitting, the
I other will outfield his rival.
' The right field position seems to
favor the Chicago aggregation. Lie
bold, Chicago’s “lead off” is one of
the hardest men in the league to
' pitch to, and a patient waiter at the
: plate. He will invariably make work
for a pitcher to count two and three,
and when they cut the plate is a
capable batter. He is fast on the
1 field, has a strong arm and is a brainy
j player and a clever base-runner.
Neale, on the other hand, while ca
vorting in the right field garden may
experience some difficulty fielding, j
especially in the White Sox park, ow
i ing to the shadows which have as
. fected many American leaguers. On
i his home grounds, however, he will
: have the advantage over his White
Sox rivals. Liebold has been hit
ting at a .293 clip while Neale’s work
' has been around .247. In fielding
' Neale has hung up an average for
I ;he greater part of the season of .951
I while Liebold’s mark is .929.
John Collins a Reserve.
As a reserve in right field, the
White Sox have John Collins, one
' of the fastest fielders in the game.
’ “Shano” has been with the Sox 10
;. ■ars, and is a hardened player. He
. s one of the gamest men in base
i ball and dangerous at bat and on the
i bases, although his batting average
does not indicate that he is a heavy
! hitter. “Shano” has been crowning
he p 11 for about .262 and has been
field ng around .944. Magee, the
Rod's veteran substitute outfielder,
i has been hitting around .225 and
If- Id ng .989. Ths White Sox also
hsve Eddy Murphy as an aletrnate.
1 However, he may not break into the
• outfield, but may be injected into Hr
! game as a pinch hitter, a role he has
successfully filled many times this
season. Murphy like Liebold, is a
I ard man to pitch to and will worry
i almost any pitcher. When on the
bases he worries a pitcher more than
1 any player in the league and he may
break up a game whenever he is sent
' into the fray. H e has been batting
I better than .475 for the greater part
of the season. On the other hand Mo
ran has a dependable pitcher in
Bressler, who has played the owfie.d
a number of times and is capable of
holding down th e job. Bressler in
the few games he has played has bat-
I ted around .212 and his fielding
mark is around .965.
