THE FIELDING RECORDS
Leaders in Double' Plays as Basis of
Fielder's Speed - -
. Fans are not in the habit of ruining
their eyesight in studying the fielding
records or, tne major league prayers,
and. there are f few members of the
Baseball writers' Association of Amer
ica who cund up teature stones re
garding the defensive work of the pas
timers. Eddie Collins,; guardian for
the White Elephants of the middle
cushion, is .'acknowledged by , all- exf-
perta ; to be the keystone king of the
American League, but when any au
thority sets out to prove that the! Co?
lumbia graduate is the peer of his
contemporaries he never rushes to the
guide books for statistical information
on the subject. ; " V -iif;
: A good way to find out how swift s
fielder is, some - persons .think, is to
take ; the number of - double plays a
man starts. Up to July 1st the Ameri
can Leaguers had rid their systems
of 380 dual killings, the man, who
started most of them being Collins.
He took the initiative in 16 of -his
team's two-ply massacrees. t-.:'fyf-
The Johnsonites' swiftest shortstop,
according to ihe performances in the
doable play league; is Rayi Chapman,
of the Naps. He inaugurated a dozen
plays that resulted in, the retirement
of a pair of runners. In figuriAg Chap
man's speed as an inaugurator of .dou
ble plays, it should' be - remembered
that he has been often absent from the
Naps line-upecause. of 7 injuries and
it is possible that had he played all
season long, as has Collins, he would
bow have started just as many two
ply killings.
The third basemen who have start
ed the greatest number of double plays
are Frank Baker, of the White Ele
phants, and Irvin Olson, of the Naps.
Each man has inaugurated six. George
iStovall, of the ' Browns, shows the
way to the'first-sackers, having been
the pioneer in seven dual ' massacres.
In the battery department there is
a tie for the honors, Catchers Schalk,
of the White Sox, and Agnew, of the
Brown Hose, each, having started four.
So have Pitchers Eddie Clcotte, of
Chicago, and Walter Johnson, , of
Washington. ,
Tris Speaker, of Boston, who won
.the Chalmers American League tro
phy in 1912, and Ty Cobbr f Detroit,
who secured the car the two previous
seasons, generally are considered the
two smartest outfielders in the-junior
league, but thus far this season neith
er man has made nearly the number
of double plays that Bert Shotten; of
the Browns, has to his credits -Shotten
has taken the initiative in eight two
ply killings, which would indicate that
he has been making just as many sen
sational, catches . as the , high-priced
fly-chasers, of the. Detroit and Boston
clutos.' Bert started two double plays
in the same-of June 10th, Duffy Lewis,
leftfielder of the Red Sox; having earl
ier in the -campaign done the same
thing. : J . Gladstone Graney, ' 6f the
Naps is 1 the . lone American League
outfielder to pull-off , an, unassisted
double - play, he having accomplished
this feat on June 1st.-
, The Browns just at present are -leading
in manufacturing double ; plays',
with the Washingtons-.a close . second
and the 'world's": champion. Red Sox
