NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-’—Because of
fthe enormous increase in recent sea-
”sons of home-run hitting, begun by
:Babe Ruth and emulated by every
4player with a pair of clear eyes and
.strong shoulrieral followers of the
‘game expect the coming world series
to develop into a contest of long dis-
o
13
canoe batting. which astudy of the
statistics entirely refutes. .-
Not that the 1922 struggle between
i Manhattan's two representatives may
i’not establish an imposing and new
5 total of four base hits. because it’msy.
That it many home runs are hit it will
'be a. novelty. Neither participant is
:the leading club of its league in home
' run" hitting.
Me‘season of 1922 has been the
‘ mod prolific of home runs of all time.
. the 1.000 mark being whizzed past by
,the slugger: of both leagues as the
"‘ autumn leave-began to fall. The pre.
.vious record was in 1921. when 937
home runs were made in the two or-
., Ionization;
Yet in all the world series games
- that have been played only 35 home
_runs have been made. and if the com-
:putation is made on the basis of most
v} other world series discussion—begin-
. pin; in 1906. when the , Brush rules
. were evolved——only 32 circuit clouts
.‘ have been clipped. George Herman
‘{ Ruth has made but one of them.
All of the 32 homers have been
'~ damaging, however. some of them ac-
" counting for games that meant win~
ining a series. The palm goes to .1.
:Franklin Baker. sTill with the Yanks.
:who became known as "Home Run"-
Bak .r early in this decade when. with
gthe‘ Philadelphia Athletics. hc mauled
Mathewson and Marquard of the
1, Giants. .
. In the last six world series the
;Amerlcan League teams have made
sill runs. eight of them home runs.
"; and the NatiOnal Leagum-s have made
:flve home runs out of the 112 runs
they have scored.
i- The probability of this series devel-
‘1 oping a new record is not remote since
a number of the "one-way hitters" are
,on both clubs. The records of Slept.
“£28 show Ruth and ”Bob Meusei to haVe
“been third and sixth. respectively. in
' the American League. and Emil Men.
,sel and George Kelly to have been
.fourth and fifth. respectively. in the
other league.
;, Moreover. Ruth is about at the top
3: of his lohg hitting form. It is argued
by some had he not been kept out of
*Kthe game until May 20 and then ab-
;ecnt at intervals thereafter. that he
:would have lcd his league again this
‘vear and might have broken his rec-
:ord of 59 last year. '
': No player has made more'ihan two
.home runs in one game in a. world ser-
ies and only three men have accom-
plished that. They are: Pat Dough-
erty of the Boston Americans. in 1903;
Harry Hooper of thlI Boston Almeri-
cans. in 1905. and chny Knuff of the
Giants. in 1907.
