NEW YORK I The expecta

baseball's celebrated Hall of Fame
at Cooperstown. This is the day
they count the votes In Commis
sioner Ford Frlck'a office across
the street.
There has been a bit more Inter
est than usual in the annual ballot
ing to see who next will take his
8 lace among the immortals of the
lamond. Burning editorials have
discussed the question of whether
Joe DIMagglo should be elected
now or wait big turn, the upstart.
There have been hot words among
members of the Baseball Writers
Association, whose votes decide
the momentous issue,

The antl-DiMaggio - faction has
candidates who have in the past
failed to swing the required 75 per
cent of votes. AU they were inter
ested in was electing Joe DiMag-
gio, whom they consider to have
een the finest baseball player
since Babe Ruth.
Meat Exciting Player

Is that DiMaggio belongs in there

has been the most exciting player
of his day the peerless outfielder
and batter whose every move was
studied by every other player in
the game.
Some argue that Ted Williams
belongs in the same class, but
we've never been able to see it.
Ted hit for higher averages then

big factor in the game was Myrtle

for the rebounds.
His boys kept the Indians unbal

the locals when they were shooting.
The Viks concentrated on high
scoring Bud Backen, especially.

were not concerned with sentiment
and were unmoved by the plight of
least subject to debate. It was DI
Magglo who In 1941 set the present
big league record by hitting safely
in 56 consecutive games. Once you
got them out of the batter's box
and onto the base paths or in the
outfield, there was no really close
comparison between the two.
Aa a refresher, 23've Just looked
up that 56-game streak of Joe's.
In that span he blasted 91 hits for
a .408 average and drove In 55
runs. He hit IS doubles, 4 trinjes
and 15 homeruns. It's difficult to
vote against a man who did that.
