Q1111 GREAT
111515 1111111211
Pirate L e 11 National
League Last Season
' ——Stole 51 Bases
A veteran baseball observer re—
marked one day that the oniy'way to
determine the base-stealing ability
of a player is to watch how many
times he is thrown out and not only
the number of bases he succeeds in
stealing.
Hitting averages are figured by
dividing a player's total number of
hits by the total number of times he
goes to bat. \Vhy not base-stealing
averages doped the same way?
Base-stealing averages compiled 9n
this way show Max Carey‘s marvel-
ous pili‘ering ability more clearly
than the mere statement that during
the past season the speedy Pirate
led the league with fit'ty- -one steals.
They demonstrate. toe. his vast su-
periority to George Grantham. the
flashy young Chicago second base-
man. who stood second to Carey with
forty-three bags.
For this reason: Carey attempted
to steal fifty—nine bases duflng the
1923 season. He succeeded in titty-
ene of these tries. Grantham tried
to sneak a hug seventy-one times.
and was successful forty~three
occasions. The retrofit-true averages
of the two leaders were thus .864
and .606. ,
No wonder that Max Carey is con-
sidered by many to be the greatest
base—runner the game has ver seen!
The. 1923 season brought forth five
“perfect" base-sienlers. But in each
case the number of chances they
stook was so small as to preclude
their being
named in the
breath with Carey.
The five players with perfect av-
erages were Johnny Raivllngs. Ivy
Olson. Louis Fonseca. Ray Grimes
and Charley Ilartnett. They stole
11lne.t‘1vc'. four and four bases re-
spectively without once being caught.
