Yankees Appear To Be
Strongest At The Bat
(By Associated Pres).. ;
NEW YORK, Oct. 2. In offensive
strength there is little to chose be
tween the possible contenders In the
1922 World's Ceries, as they appear
grouped upon paper, and only with
the aid of the fates that decide that
some layer shall hit when a hit is
most needed or that another shall fail
when failure is most costly can a
preference be made.
Of course it is by the arrangement
and distribution of the batting
strength that a manager obtains the
most possible out of his team,, and the
i actual attacking value of a ball club
An nistance of this is an infield that
maj lead all the other infields of the
league in batting, yet be so poor in
fieldirtg clubs. The maximum offensive
power of an infield, which includes the
three basemen, shortstop, catcher and
best hitting pitcher, is their average
batting strength. ' - '
On the latter basis the New York
Yankees lead the Giants by one point, j
having a total of. .319 to the Nationals'
.318. Considering the St. Louis Club,
which had a fighting chance . to win
out in the American League up to the
close of the season, the Giants are still
one point under the club that will rep-
